Article Abstract
Silicon carbide (SiC) aerogels are promising thermal insulators that are lightweight and possess high thermal stability. However, their application is hindered by their brittleness. Herein, an air suction effect induction (ASEI) strategy is proposed to fabricate a super thermally insulating SiC aerogel (STISA). The ASEI strategy exploits the air suction effect to subtly regulate the directional flow of the SiO gas, which can induce directional growth and assembly of SiC nanowires to form a directional lamellar structure. The sintering time is significantly reduced by >90%. Significant improvements in the compression and elasticity performance of the STISA are achieved upon the formation of a directional lamellar structure through the ASEI strategy. Moreover, the lamellar structure endows the STISA with an ultralow thermal conductivity of 0.019 W m K . The ASEI strategy paves the way for structural design of advanced ceramic aerogels for super thermal insulation.

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have attracted considerable attention due to their low cost and high safety. However, their development is hindered by dendrite formation and complex anodic side reactions. In this study, a binder-free zirconium-based metal-organic framework (MOF) membrane, NUS-8, is proposed as an artificial solid electrolyte interphase (ASEI) for the Zn anode, with the aim to regulate Zn desolvation and deposition processes, inhibit dendrite growth, and mitigate anodic side reactions.

Anode-free lithium metal batteries (AFLMBs) are attracting significant attention due to their easy fabrication and high volumetric energy density. However, inhomogeneous deposition of lithium usually leads to dead Li or dendrites, in the meantime, the limited active lithium inventory also restricts the cycle life of AFLMB. In this study, a mixed ion/electron conductive interlayer (SNAF) composed of Si nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes (CNT), lithium polyacrylic acid (PAALi), and LiF is designed to stabilize the deposition process of lithium.

Lithium metal anode batteries have attracted significant attention as a promising energy storage technology, offering a high theoretical specific capacity and a low electrochemical potential. Utilizing lithium metal as the anode material can substantially increase energy density compared with conventional lithium-ion batteries. However, the practical application of lithium metal anodes has encountered notable challenges, primarily due to the formation of dendritic structures during cycling.

Constructing an artificial solid electrolyte interphase (ASEI) on Li metal anodes (LMAs) is a potential strategy for addressing the dendrite issues. However, the mechanical fatigue of the ASEI caused by stress accumulation under the repeated deformation from the Li plating/stripping is not taken seriously. Herein, this work introduces a mechanically interlocked [an]daisy chain network (MIN) into the ASEI to stabilize the Li metal/ASEI interface by combining the functions of energy dissipation and fast Li-ion transport.

Zinc (Zn) is an excellent material for use as an anode for rechargeable batteries in water-based electrolytes. Nevertheless, the high activity of water leads to Zn corrosion and hydrogen evolution, along with the formation of dendrites on the Zn surface during repeated charge-discharge (CD) cycles. To protect the Zn anode and limit parasitic side reactions, an artificial solid electrolyte interphase (ASEI) protective layer is an effective strategy.
