Article Abstract
A sustainable approach utilizing a low-temperature molten salt strategy is employed in this study to fabricate homogeneous and dense NiFe nitrate hydroxide needle-like arrays on a NiFe foam substrate. The electrode also achieves an ultra-low voltage of 1.77 V at 100 mA cm and maintains stability for more than 120 h at a current density of 100 mA cm, showing excellent overall water splitting (OWS) performance and stability. Notably, the molten salt strategy enables the synthesis of electrodes at a reaction temperature as low as 125 °C. Additionally, the molten salt precursor is repeatable and renewable, thus preventing waste and presenting vast potential for application.

This study developed a high-precision deep potential (DP) model based on density functional theory (DFT) and the DP-GEN workflow to efficiently simulate the microscopic structures and thermophysical properties of LiF-NaF-KF molten salt systems with varying compositions. Through iterative optimization of the training data set using the DP-GEN active learning strategy, our DP model demonstrated excellent agreement with DFT calculations in predicting energies, forces, and stresses. Leveraging this model, we systematically investigated the local structures and properties of 22 FLiNaK molten salt compositions, including radial distribution functions (RDFs), coordination numbers (CNs), density (ρ), heat capacity (), self-diffusion coefficients (SDCs), electrical conductivity, and shear viscosity.

Electrochemical CO reduction to formic acid, powered by renewable electricity, enables a sustainable carbon cycle by providing a versatile chemical feedstock and energy carrier. Bismuth-based catalysts are known for their high formate selectivity but face challenges in balancing selectivity and stability at industrial current densities. In this study, we present a two-step approach that combines molten-salt synthesis with in situ reduction to fabricate polycrystalline bismuth catalysts with rich exposed grain boundaries (GB-Bi).

Transition metal sulfides are promising electrocatalysts for water electrolysis. This work develops an innovative rapid low-temperature molten-salt template approach that enables one-step fabrication of free-standing Mo-doped sulfide nanowire arrays (Mo-NiS@NiS/NF) on nickel foam (NF) within merely 30 min, substantially reducing synthesis time compared to conventional methods. XRD and Raman analyses show that the doping of Mo makes the original NiS convert into NiS with higher catalytic activity.

High-energy lithium-ion batteries necessitate stable Ni-rich layered cathodes, yet critical challenges such as lattice distortion and surface structure collapse remain unresolved. While conventional high-valence doping greatly alleviates surface degradations, it is ineffective in stabilizing bulk lattice due to dopant segregation. Here, we propose a slightly Li-rich (SLR) lattice design by partially substituting transition-metal (TM) ions with Li ions in TM layers, reducing electrostatic repulsion against high-valence dopants.

Thermochemical energy storage using Mg(OH) is attractive due to its high energy density, low cost, and nontoxicity. However, its practical application is limited by the high dehydration temperature required to achieve sufficient reaction rates. Although metal salt additives are known to enhance dehydration kinetics, prior studies have mainly focused on powders, with limited research on pellets.
