Guodong Zou et al.

Summary: This study investigates covalent organic frameworks (COFs) as host materials for high-rate aqueous Mg2+ ion batteries for the first time, and reveals a synergistic charge storage mechanism involving the reaction between nitrogen and oxygen bridged by Mg2+ ions. Through electrochemical and spectral characterization combined with theoretical simulation, it is found that the Mg2+ ion diffusion kinetics in COFs are dominated by surface pseudocapacitive behavior, resulting in favorable rate performance and durable cyclic stability.

Electroactive ZnO: Mechanisms, Conductivity, and Advances in Zn Alkaline Battery Cycling

Brendan E. Hawkins et al.

Summary: This study reveals an electroactive type of zinc oxide formed in zinc-metal alkaline electrodes and measures its electrical conductivity change. The study finds that the conductivity change of the electroactive zinc oxide is closely related to the insertion of protons into the crystal structure and electrons into the conduction band. In addition, the rapid crystal growth of the electroactive zinc oxide allows it to have efficiencies and rates competitive with leading electrochromic materials. Understanding this phenomenon helps improve the cycling performance of industrial-design electrodes and suggests potential applications of zinc oxide in other fields.
