However, water-induced rapid crystallization during inorganic perovskite film processing in ambient air is difficult to control. Here, we report a crystallization retardation method to prepare inorganic perovskite film by incorporating acrylonitrile-methyl acrylate copolymer (AMAC) in perovskite precursor solution. Firstly, the strong interaction between AMAC and the precursor solution yields increased colloidal size, delays dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) volatilization during annealing and postpones the phase transition. Secondly, the interaction between AMAC and dimethylamine (DMA+) slows down the ion exchange with Cs+. These interactions retard perovskite crystallization, increase pack-crystal grain size and reduce residual stress. Combined with the functional groups in AMAC, the incorporation of AMAC reduces defects in perovskite films, modulates interfacial energy levels, prolongs charge lifetimes, and inhibiting the migration of iodide ions. Ultimately, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the AMAC-incorporated inverted (p-i-n) and conventional (n-i-p) PSCs reach 21.7% and 21.8%, respectively, while the unencapsulated devices show only 8% degradation over 2500 h of maximum power point tracking and continuous operation.","PeriodicalId":72,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Science","volume":"183 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143666611","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 exceptional capacity is attributed to the synergistic redox activity of transition metals and lattice oxygen.

Herein, we introduce a lithium-deficient layer and a RuO2-promoted interface-confined catalysis network on the surface of LRMO (Ru-1). The lithium-deficient layer effectively passivates the surface lattice oxygen by reducing the Li-O-Li configurations at the atomic level. The RuO2-promoted interface-confined catalysis network successfully captures trace amounts of lost lattice oxygen and catalyzes the reversible reduction of activated O species. This configuration yields a specific discharge capacity of 307 mAh g−1 at 0.1 C, with an impressive capacity retention rate of 97% after 300 cycles at 1 C. The Ru-1||graphite pouch cell exhibits a superior capacity retention rate of 85% after 450 cycles at C/3 and the Ru-1||Li pouch cell exhibits a high energy density of 513 Wh kg−1.

Currently, various metals have been attempted for aqueous battery operation, ranging from divalent metals (zinc, iron, nickel, manganese) to trivalent ones (antimony, indium). However, the fundamental cobalt plating chemistry remains largely neglected and poorly understood, despite its appealing merits in capacity, redox potential, and morphology. Herein, we bridge this knowledge gap by revealing highly reversible Co2+/Co plating reaction in a near-neutral 1 M CoCl2 aqueous electrolyte. Remarkably, cobalt demonstrates exceptional performance, characterized by modest polarization (48 mV), ultrahigh plating efficiency (~99.9%), long lifespan (4,000 hours, 5.5 months), and strong resistance to harsh conditions, including ultrahigh capacities (up to 30 mAh cm-2), ultralow currents (down to 0.05 mA cm-2), and extended storage periods (24-168 hours). The superb performance primarily stems from its closely packed, spherical, and dendrite-free morphology with a minimal surface area. Moreover, cobalt is fully compatible with various cathode materials, enabling high-energy (240 Wh kg-1), high-rate (80 A g-1), and long-cycling (20,000 cycles) batteries. These properties were achieved without delicate optimization of experimental parameters, highlighting the inherent merits of cobalt over other metal candidates. This work unlocks the potential of cobalt for constructing advanced aqueous multivalent batteries.","PeriodicalId":72,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Science","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143666613","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}

However, the breakdown of the ion-conducting network within sulfur cathode limits their cycling life and poses challenges to practical application. Here, we design an innovative unitized encapsulation architecture to decouple and rebuild Li-ion transport pathways through interfacial spontaneous anion exchange behavior between Li5.5PS4.5Cl1.5 and Li3YBr6 electrolytes. In this design, the internal Li5.5PS4.5Cl1.5 enables durable intra-particle charge transfer trails, while the external halide Li3YBr6 framework establishes inter-particle Li-ion diffusion highways. This hierarchical ion-conducting mechanism facilitates efficient and durable Li-ion flow. Moreover, the core-shell configuration alleviates localized stress accumulation and catholyte irreversible decomposition during cycling, reinforcing robust ion-conducting pathways and persistent phase contact. The optimized sulfur cathode, S/LPSC@LYB-0.25, exhibits remarkable electrochemical performance, achieving 85% capacity retention over 1000 cycles under high sulfur loading of 8 mg cm−2 and a high current density of 6.7 mA cm−2.

However, the use of aqueous electrolyte in zinc metal-based batteries presents its own unique set of challenges, which include the tendency for side reactions during discharge that encourages dendritic growth on Zn anodes, as well as sluggish kinetics caused by the large solvation shell of divalent Zn ions. Nanoporous materials can be deployed as coating on Zn anodes for enhancing both their performance and stability, particularly in addressing challenges associated with water reactivity and ion migration kinetics. In our study, we incorporated superhydrophobic fluorine chains into covalent organic frameworks (SPCOFs) to engineer nanochannels that facilitate efficient ion migration pathways. Molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate that these superhydrophobic fluorine chains significantly reduce interactions between the electrolyte and nanochannel walls, altering the confined electrolyte distribution. This modification enables rapid dehydration, reduces ion migration resistance, and promotes dense Zn deposition. The use of SPCOFs enable Zn batteries with exceptional stability, achieving over 5000 hours of runtime at high current densities and stable cycling across 800 cycles in full-cell configurations.

However, a universal strategy for surface post-treatment that accommodates different A-site components and various bandgaps of perovskites has often been overlooked. In this study, we propose a universal strategy that simultaneously applies phenethylammonium bromide (PEABr) and 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol (5ATT) to the top surface of perovskite films by a one-step spin-coating procedure. Both PEABr and 5ATT effectively passivate surface defects and improve interface contact. Additionally, 5ATT can infiltrate into the perovskite films longitudinally to passivate bulk defects, thereby achieving effective defects and interface management for reducing nonradiative recombination and extending carrier lifetimes. The optimized devices achieve a higher power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 24.85% (FAMACsRb) compared to the control device, which has a PCE of 21.47%. The stability of the best-performing device is also enhanced, maintaining 89% of its initial PCE after tracking at the maximum power point (MPP) for 600 hours. Furthermore, this strategy is reliably adaptable to the perovskites with different A-site components (MA, FACs, FAMACs) and various bandgaps (1.68, 1.77 and 1.82 eV), achieving a champion PCE of 25.88% (certified at 25.44%) based on the FAMACs PSC. The approach demonstrated in this work exhibits universal applicability across various perovskites, making it an attractive and promising method for the fabrication of single or tandem PSCs.","PeriodicalId":72,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Science","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143654139","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}

However, their practical applications are hindered by low sulfur utilization and limited cycle life attributed to the sluggish sulfur reaction kinetics. Although catalysis is an effective way to address kinetic limitations, it often becomes ineffective because solid contact between the catalyst and the sulfur species cannot form the molecular-level interfaces necessary for catalytic reactions. Here, we propose a micropore confining and fusing strategy to integrate the catalysis reaction interfaces on a molecule-level. The prepared microporous carbon sheet confines the small molecule sulfur and catalyst clusters in its sub-2 nm micropores, enabling the formation of integrated sulfur-catalyst-carbon interfaces, which fundamentally achieves a molecular-scale contact for solid catalysis and eliminate the interfacial mismatches in the solid cathodes. Such interfaces significantly enhance the sulfur reaction kinetics and utilization even at high rates. Moreover, the large micropore volume (2.0 cm3 g−1) accommodates the substantial volume changes of sulfur, stabilizing interparticle interfaces both within the cathode and at the cathode/electrolyte interface and finally enabling exceptional cycling stability. The assembled battery shows a remarkable specific capacity of over 1000 mA h g−1 at 1.0C and retains over 85% capacity after 1400 cycles, both among the highest ever reported.
