Article Abstract
Aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) hold substantial promise for large-scale energy storage system by virtue of their good safety and cost-effectiveness. However, the typical cathode material of MnO is practically hampered by poor rate/cycling performance owing to its low electrical conductivity and structural fragility. Herein, a nanosheet architecture of MnO/carbon is constructed via in situ rooting MnO nanoarrays on carbon substrate to achieve high-rate and long-durable zinc energy storage. The unique nano-architecture significantly promotes the reaction kinetics by supplying plentiful active sites, short diffusion pathways, and improved charge transfer conductivity. The advantageous features endow the MnO/carbon with remarkable rate capability (175 mAh/g at 3.0 A/g) and excellent cycling lifespan (87.8 % capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 1.0 A/g). In addition, the kinetic enhancement and fundamental reaction mechanism are systematically investigated. The encouraging results will shed new insight on designing MnO-based materials to advance the development of AZIBs.

Transition metal oxides (TMOs) are a promising material for use as anodes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). TMO anode can be classified on the basis of their lithiation/delithiation mechanism, such as intercalation mechanism-based TMO anode, conversion mechanism-based TMOs, and alloying/dealloying mechanism-based TMO anode. Each class of TMOs has its own advantages and limitations.

With the exhaustion of fossil fuels, prior phase change materials are characterized by such drawbacks as poor thermal conductivity, weak shape stability, and high costs. Therefore, the preparation of phase change materials with brilliant thermal-insulating properties, high thermal conductivity, and leakage-free properties has emerged as a crucial research focus. Herein, a sericultural mulberry branch-derived (SMB) composite phase change material was prepared by deep eutectic solvent pretreated SMB and vacuum-assisted impregnated paraffin wax with cupric oxide (CuO).

Developing single-atom catalysts (SACs) with dense active sites and universal synthesis strategies remains a critical challenge. Herein, we present a scalable and universal strategy to synthesize high-density transition metal single-atom sites, anchored in nitrogen-doped porous carbon (M-SA@NC, M = Fe, Co, Ni) and investigate their oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalytic activity for flexible Zn-air batteries (ZABs). Using a facile coordination-pyrolysis strategy, atomically dispersed M-N sites with high metal loading are achieved.

The practical application of formic acid for large-scale hydrogen storage is constrained by its low H production rates. Conventional strategies rely on excessive chemical additives to accelerate the initial deprotonation step for efficient dehydrogenation. However, this approach is energy-consuming and compromises the intrinsic hydrogen storage density (53 g L) of formic acid.

Achieving precise control of materials synthesis is a cornerstone of modern manufacturing, driving efficiency, functionality, and device innovation. This review examines the roles of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and neutron scattering (NS) in advancing our understanding of these processes. TEM offers atomic-scale insights into nucleation, growth, and phase transitions, while NS provides an analysis of reaction pathways, phase evolution, and structural transformations over broader length scales.
