However, their restricted ionic conductivity at subzero temperatures, along with dendrite formation and subsequent side reactions, unavoidably hinder the implementation of grid-scale applications. In this study, a novel bimetallic cation-enhanced gel polymer electrolyte (Ni/Zn-GPE) was engineered to address these issues. The Ni/Zn-GPE effectively disrupted the hydrogen-bonding network of water, resulting in a significant reduction in the freezing point of the electrolyte. Consequently, the designed electrolyte demonstrates an impressive ionic conductivity of 28.70 mS cm<sup>−1</sup> at −20°C. In addition, Ni<sup>2+</sup> creates an electrostatic shielding interphase on the Zn surface, which confines the sequential Zn<sup>2+</sup> nucleation and deposition to the Zn (002) crystal plane. Moreover, the intrinsically high activation energy of the Zn (002) crystal plane generated a dense and dendrite-free plating/stripping morphology and resisted side reactions. Consequently, symmetrical batteries can achieve over 2700 hours of reversible cycling at 5 mA cm<sup>−2</sup>, while the Zn || V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> battery retains 85.3% capacity after 1000 cycles at −20°C.

Herein, for the first time, high-stability 2D perovskite LaNb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub> (LNO) is engineered for high-performance wide-temperature UV light detection and human motion detection. High-quality LNO nanosheets are prepared by solid-state calcination and liquid-phase exfoliation technique, resulting in exceptional stability against high temperature, acid, and alkali solutions. As expected, individual LNO nanosheet device achieves ultra-wide temperature (80–780 K) and ultra-high (3.7 × 10<sup>4</sup> A W<sup>−1</sup> at 780 K) UV light detection. Importantly, it shows high responsivity (171 A W<sup>−1</sup>), extraordinary detectivity (4 × 10<sup>12</sup> Jones), fast speed (0.3/97 ms), and long-term stability under ambient conditions. In addition, wafer-scale LNO film devices can be used as pixel array detectors for UV imaging, and large-area flexible LNO film devices exhibit satisfactory photodetection performance after repeated bending tests. Interestingly, LNO nanosheets also exhibit distinct piezoelectric characteristics, which can serve as high-sensitivity stress sensors for human motion detection.

However, the low ionic conductivity and Li<sup>+</sup> transport number of solid-state polymer electrolytes limit their practical application. Herein, a composite polymer electrolyte with self-inserted structure is proposed using the layered double hydroxides (LDHs) as dopant to achieve a fast Li<sup>+</sup> transport channel in poly(vinylidene-co-trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)] based polymer electrolyte. In such a composite electrolyte, P(VDF-TrFE) polymer has an all-trans conformation, in which all fluorine atoms locate on one side of the polymer chain, providing fast Li<sup>+</sup> transport highways. Meanwhile, the LDH can immobilize the anions of Li salts based on the electrostatic interactions, promoting the dissociation of Li salts, thereby enhancing the ionic conductivity (6.4 × 10<sup>−4</sup> S cm<sup>−1</sup>) and Li<sup>+</sup> transference number (0.76). The anion immobilization effect can realize uniform electric field distribution at the anode surface and suppress the dendritic Li growth. Moreover, the hydrogen bonding interaction between LDH and polymer chains also endows the composite electrolyte with strong mechanical properties. Thus, at room temperature, the Li || Li symmetric cells can be stably cycled over 1000 h at a current density of 0.2 mA cm<sup>−2</sup>, and the full cells with LiFePO<sub>4</sub> cathode deliver a high capacity retention (>95%) after 200 cycles.

Herein, a sub-nano cluster (Pd, Ru, and PdRu alloy) decoration strategy is proposed to manipulate the photogenerated carrier behavior in MoS<sub>2</sub> to optimize the optoelectronic properties. After decoration, electrons can flow into sub-nano cluster through Pd<span></span>S bonds and then return to MoS<sub>2</sub> through Ru<span></span>S bonds at the sub-nano cluster/MoS<sub>2</sub> interface when holes are left in the channel for collection to achieve efficient carrier separation. In addition, the formation of metal<span></span>S bonds also leads to the generation of mid-gap states, which enables light absorption over a wide wavelength range.
