Herein, we elucidate the principles underlying kinetics-induced mechanical delamination in high-nickel layered oxide cathodes by comparing electrodes in different cathode contact coverages at various current densities. An electrochemo-mechanical model demonstrates that low and localized contact coverage induces a kinetics-driven Li concentration gradient and relatively rapid contraction at the narrow contact area, leading to accelerated delamination of each particle. This phenomenon is supported by the reduction of coverages in electrodes after cycling. By increasing the size ratio of active materials to SEs, the electrodes with high and uniform coverage exhibited extended cyclability, retaining 79.1% after 1,000 cycles at a 5C rate. This study highlights the effect of uniform contact with high coverage in mechanical delamination for achieving high-performance ASSBs.","PeriodicalId":343,"journal":{"name":"Joule","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":39.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144594792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This approach inhibits deprotonation and degradation, reduces the formation energy of the perovskite phase, improves grain growth, passivates defects, and restrains ion migration. As a result, perovskite solar cells incorporating this deuteration strategy achieve exceptional performance, including a high fill factor (FF) of 82.6% and a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 25.6%. Their modules with a device area of 56 cm2 demonstrate remarkable stability, maintaining over 93.7% of their initial PCE after 1,000 h at the maximum power point under continuous illumination at 40°C.

However, most current electrolytes rely on fluorine-containing components, which raise economic and environmental concerns. This study explores fluorine-free, borate-based electrolytes that offer improved cycling stability and significant cost and sustainability benefits. We demonstrate stable sodium metal stripping and plating on aluminum foil, enabling anode-free cell configurations with over 50% capacity retention after 700 cycles. Spectroscopic and electrochemical analyses reveal the effects of solvents and salt composition on solvation, ionic conductivity, and oxidative stability. In full-cell configurations, the fluorine-free electrolyte maintains more than 98% capacity retention after 400 cycles. These findings represent a critical step toward the development of cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and high-performance sodium battery systems suitable for future electrification.","PeriodicalId":343,"journal":{"name":"Joule","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":39.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144578521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

High-temperature catalytic NH3 combustion (HT-CAC) provides an attractive solution to improve the combustibility of NH3 and allows high-quality heat to be extracted with reduced harmful emissions. Achieving HT-CAC is a difficult task due to (1) demanding stability requirements of catalysts and (2) potentially high NOx emissions. Here, we report that atomically dispersed platinum (Pt) on 10% zirconium dioxide (ZrO2)-aluminum oxide (Al2O3) can facilitate the HT-CAC process. The catalyst ignites NH3 combustion just above 200°C and has excellent stability when operated at 1,100°C. The presence of the catalyst also reduces the NOx emissions to around 50 ppm without detectable NH3 slip. This work shows that combining single-atom catalysts with refractory support materials is an effective strategy for designing catalysts for HT-CAC, which will in turn help to decarbonize many “hard-to-abate” sectors, such as industrial heating.","PeriodicalId":343,"journal":{"name":"Joule","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":39.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144547359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) with low cost, unique optoelectronic properties, and structural functionalization are promising candidates for solar cells (SCs). However, CQDs as active layers so far merely had 1% PCEs. Here, we report the one-step synthesis of snowflake-like CQDs with one carbon core and six equivalent polarized angles (Six-SL-CQDs), showing cost as low as ∼$18.07/g and adequate solution processability. Experimental results reveal that the designed structure can reverse the electrostatic potential generated between six angles and carbon core. Six-SL-CQDs serve as acceptor molecules to construct strong donor-acceptor intermolecular interactions, leading to orderly structural stacking and effective exciton dissociation. SCs exhibit a maximum PCE of 10.3% and long-term stability, with T80 exceeding 2,078 h.

Here, we report a thickness-insensitive polymeric HTL (P3CT-TBB) through poly[3-(4-carboxylbutyl) thiophene] (P3CT) p-doping with 1,3,5-tris(bromomethyl)benzene (TBB). TBB can withdraw electrons from the thiophene chain in P3CT to promote its p-doping. The doped P3CT-TBB exhibits a ∼10-fold increase in film conductivity in comparison with control P3CT. As a result, P3CT-TBB-based inverted PSCs show the highest efficiency of >26% without thickness sensitiveness, and >24% efficiency remains in PSCs with over 60 nm P3CT-TBB.
