Summary: In this study, a freestanding carbon nanofiber (CNF) film was used as a model system to investigate the charge transfer kinetics in carbon anodes. By using a tetrahydrofuran-based electrolyte, the effect of interfacial chemistry was probed, and the kinetics were enhanced. The results showed that the electrolyte promoted the rapid desolvation of potassium ions and facilitated the formation of a thin and uniform solid electrolyte interphase. As a result, the CNFs anode exhibited fast kinetics, outperforming the performance in classical carbonate electrolytes.

Summary: We demonstrate the use of liquid metals as stretchable hermetic seals in soft materials, which are highly permeable to gases. These soft seals are applied in stretchable battery and heat transfer systems involving volatile fluids. The battery shows a capacity retention of approximately 72.5% after 500 cycles, while the sealed heat transfer system exhibits an increased thermal conductivity of around 309 watts per meter-kelvin when strained and heated. In addition, we successfully achieve wireless communication through these seals by incorporating a signal transmission window. This work provides a promising solution for creating stretchable yet hermetic packaging design for soft devices.

In this study, a hyperstable Zn0.52V2O5·1.8 H2O (ZVOH) cathode material with excellent rate performance was successfully developed via in situ self-transformation from zinc-rich Zn3V3O8 (ZVO).

The ZVOH cathode exhibited a reversible capacity of 286.2 mAh g(-1) at 0.2 A g(-1) and 161.5 mAh g(-1) at 20 A g(-1) over 18,000 cycles with a capacity retention of 95.4%, demonstrating excellent rate performance and cyclic stability.

Summary: Polyimide is a promising electrode material for zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) due to its resource sustainability, environmental friendliness, and structural diversity. However, the conductivity and capacity of polyimide-based electrodes need to be improved. In this study, a polyimide cathode material called PUI is synthesized and its zinc-storage performance is optimized by incorporating a 3-D porous polyaniline (PANI) xerogel carrier. The PUI/PANI composite shows significantly higher specific capacity, improved rate performance, and cycling stability. The 3-D porous PANI facilitates fast electron/ion transportation and high capacitive contribution during charging and discharging. The enhanced zinc-storage capacity of PUI/PANI is attributed to the synergistic effect of C=O (in PUI) and =NA (in PANI). This work highlights the potential of polyimide-based cathode materials and emphasizes the role of porous conducting polymers, such as PANI, in constructing high-performance cathode materials for ZIBs.
