However, its potential to steer complex chemical reactions has not yet been fully unleashed due to the absence of direct metal–metal interaction. Herein, we theoretically predicted that the confinement of copper–lanthanide pairs in a paddlewheel motif exceptionally generates direct 3d–4f orbital coupling via novel σ- and π-bonding, significantly enhancing the adsorption of key intermediates (*CO and *CHO) and thereby indicating facile CO2 electromethanation. Accordingly, we confined a Cu–Er pair within well-defined paddlewheel metal–organic frameworks, where it exhibited definitive 3d–4f orbital coupling. Under a mild potential of −1.1 V vs. RHE, the resulting catalyst reached a superior CH4 faradaic efficiency (FE) of 82% with a partial current density of −251.9 mA cm−2 and a cathode energy efficiency (CEE) of 37.3%, far surpassing the conventional Cu–Cu pair with 31% FECH4 and 14.1% CEE. Moreover, the Cu–Er pair achieved a 2130% increase in CO2-to-CH4 turnover frequency compared to the Cu–Cu pair. Mechanistic studies revealed that direct 3d–4f coupling uniquely accelerates π-backdonation kinetics while stabilizing σ-radical thermodynamics for the *CO hydrogenation to *CHO. Our findings pioneer a transformative approach to designing efficient DSCs through direct d–f coupling under tailored spatial confinement for efficient electrocatalysis.","PeriodicalId":72,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Science","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148853659","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}

While, conventional self-assembled monolayers mainly optimize energy-level alignment and fail to establish sufficiently strong coupling across the transparent conductive oxide (TCO)/SAM/perovskite junction. Here, we introduce 2-methyl-4Hthieno[3,2-b]-pyrrole-5-carboxylic acid (MTPCA) as a dual-sided interfacial anchoring molecule to reconstruct the buried contact. MTPCA simultaneously stabilizes SAM anchoring on TCO and strengthens coupling to the perovskite, thereby favor a more robust chemicalmechanical-electronic junction. This reinforced buried interface enhances adhesion strength, promotes more coherent bottom-up crystallization, suppresses interfacial defect accumulation and non-radiative recombination, and improves charge collection under operation-relevant stress. Consequently, the treated devices achieve a champion power conversion efficiency of 27.29% and markedly enhanced operational stability, retaining ~93% of their initial efficiency after nearly 2000 h under ISOS-L-1 and ~90% after 1000 h under ISOS-L-3. Moreover, a representative MTPCA-treated large-area module with an active area of 13.94 cm 2 delivers a power conversion efficiency of 23.69%, supporting the applicability of this buried-junction reinforcement strategy to module-scale device fabrication. This work establishes dual-sided interfacial anchoring as an effective molecular strategy for mitigating buried-interfacial delamination and enabling efficient, mechanically robust, and operationally stable inverted PSCs.","PeriodicalId":72,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Science","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148853571","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}

Herein, we transcend the conventional d-bandcentric catalytic paradigm by introducing the concept of geometric compatibility factor (δ) as a descriptor for reaction pathway selection. A L1₀-ordered PtZnCoNiFeTi high-entropy intermetallic (PZCNFT-HEI) with crystallographically defined facets is architected to enforce a strain-minimized bridging configuration of Li₂C₂O₄. Atomic-scale interrogations reveal that the (110) facet, counter to the prevalent preference for high-index facets in bond-activation-dominated catalysis, exhibits exceptional δ (97.56%) arising from precise registry between surface dM-M and molecular dO-O. This geometric fidelity engenders a nearly strain-free adsorption geometry, amplifies electronic coupling at the catalyst-intermediate interface, and thermodynamically locks the Li₂C₂O₄ pathway by elevating the kinetic barrier toward its disproportional decomposition.Multimodal characterizations confirm that amorphous Li₂C₂O₄ is preferentially and reversibly formed exclusively on the PZCNFT-HEI cathode. Theoretical analyses reveal that the (110) facet maximizes integrated crystal orbital Hamiltonian population (ICOHP) for Li₂C₂O₄ while suppressing transition metal dissolution via entropic stabilization. Consequently, the assembled Li-CO₂ battery achieves a high discharge voltage of 3.11 V and stable operation over 200 cycles. This work establishes geometric compatibility factor as a quantitative selection rule for stabilizing metastable intermediates, challenging conventional facet-activity paradigms and opening a non-ergodic design landscape for high-entropy electrocatalysts.","PeriodicalId":72,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Science","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148853572","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, zinc corrosion during non-operational periods accelerates calendar aging and undermines their long-term operability, particularly under realistic operating conditions with idle intermittency. Herein, we present a molecular-to-system-level strategy to suppress corrosive degradation and enhance lifetime-delivered energy. At the molecular level, the diethyl [difluoro(trimethylsilyl)methyl]phosphonate (DEDFTMSP) co-solvent extensively dehydrates the Zn2+ solvation structure and promotes ion-pair states that drive the formation of an inorganic, corrosion-resistant interphase, while the hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) additive shields interphasial defects on the Zn surface. At the system level, we propose a sacrificial battery stabilization system (SBSS), wherein a persistent electric field mitigates water-induced corrosion through the accumulation of charged species in the electric double layer with minimal energy cost. The combined strategy delivers markedly improved capacity retention and total discharged energy under practically relevant conditions, establishing a comprehensive approach toward durable, resource-efficient solutions for grid-scale energy storage.","PeriodicalId":72,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Science","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148767747","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}

Conventional recycling technologies such as pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy typically suffer from high energy consumption, environmental pollution, and lengthy workflows. Recently, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have gained considerable attention for resource recovery due to their potential to enable a green, efficient, and short-process recycling route. Nevertheless, the practical application of DESs still faces considerable scepticism, owing to their dependence on high temperatures, low solid-to-liquid (S/L) ratios, and high costs. In this review, we focus on the intrinsic properties of DESs and the key mechanisms governing their role in metal recovery and material regeneration. Building on this, we provide perspectives on future development spanning DES design, characterization techniques, expansion application, techno-economic and environmental assessment, policy incentives and industrial compatibility.

In particular, the H2 evolution reaction rate of PFBDB-T:BTOR-IC4F heterojunction NPs with photodeposited Pt is 27-fold higher than that of platinum (Pt)-loaded PFBDB-T NPs and an order of magnitude higher than that of Pt-loaded BTOR-IC4F NPs under visible–near-infrared (Vis-NIR) light illumination.

Decay dynamics analysis demonstrates the significantly extended exciton diffusion length (17.1 nm) in PFBDB-T:BTOR-IC4F NPs relative to that in pristine single-component NPs, while time-dependent density functional theory calculations elucidate the strong exciton–charge transfer (CT) state coupling (66.7 meV) in the PFBDB-T:BTOR-IC4F blend. The elongated exciton diffusion contributes to the strong exciton–CT state coupling, which in turn prolongs the exciton transport.

Metallic nickel is critical for hydrogen binding, which is essential for the electrocatalysis of the hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR), but is prone to passivation. Here, we show that for representative mainstream Ni-based catalysts, their spontaneous passivation in ambient air blocks the HOR, necessitating activation protocols. In a three-electrode rotating-disk electrode setup, activation is readily accomplished by lowering the electrode potential. In an AEMFC, galvanostatic and chemical activation strategies are explored, revealing the strong influence of O2 crossover from the cathode, which can repassivate Ni.

These mass transport improvements are essential to enhancing coulombic efficiency, prolonging cycle life, and ensuring stability of AFLMBs.

We begin by outlining the fundamental principles of Li+ transport in anode-free configurations and elucidating its pivotal role in governing lithium plating/stripping behavior and the retention of active lithium. Subsequently, we highlight advances in electrolyte engineering, current collector modification, mechanical confinement, thermal environment optimization, and pre-lithiation strategies, each tailored to modulate ion flux and improve interfacial stability. Particular emphasis is placed on how these regulatory approaches synergistically promote uniform lithium nucleation and enhance cycling reversibility.
