The rising demand for cost-effective and safe energy storage systems has ignited strong global interest in advanced cathodes that surpass lithium-ion batteries in practical applications. Herein, we propose a composite material in which five ions, Ti, Mn, Fe, Zr, and Mo, are doped into the lattice of NaV(PO) and a uniform carbon-coating layer is applied to its surface, resulting in the formation of high-entropy doped NaV(PO)@C materials (HENVP@C). When employed as the cathode material for Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and hybrid lithium/sodium-ion batteries (HLSIBs), HENVP@C shows remarkable Li/Na storage capabilities. The results of electrochemical performance tests on half-cells reveal that HENVP@C exhibits a high capacity, along with excellent cycle life and stability. High-entropy doping effectively stabilizes the NASICON structure of HENVP@C, enhances ionic conductivity, and optimizes ion diffusion kinetics, particularly improving its dual-ion pseudocapacitive storage capability. In addition, the surface carbon coating improves the electronic conductivity of the material. The insights presented in this work provide new ideas for designing cathode materials for SIBs and HLSIBs.

ConspectusHydrogen spillover, the simultaneous diffusion of protons and electrons, has recently emerged as a key phenomenon in the functionalization of hydrogen in cutting-edge research fields. Its occurrence has been found to significantly impact hydrogen-related fields of science, such as catalysis, reduction, and hydrogen storage. Since the discovery of hydrogen spillover more than half a century ago, although many scientists have reported its unique properties and have attempted to utilize them, no practical advanced applications have been established yet.

Sulfadimethoxine (SDM) is an antibiotic used in treating bacterial infections, but it poses health risks if it enters human body through food chains. In this study, a grain-boundary-rich high-entropy selenide (CdCoCuMnZn)Se was prepared by a one-pot solvothermal strategy. Its microstructure, photoactivity and photostability were investigated using various techniques, whose dynamic mechanism was elucidated and the role of elemental doping in enhancing photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance was rigorously evaluated in control groups.

Graph neural networks for crystal property prediction typically require precise atomic positions and types, limiting their applicability for novel materials with unknown structures. To address this limitation, we introduce BatteryFormer, a versatile machine learning model that employs average interatomic radius distance instead of precise bond lengths as edge embedding, enabling rapid, high-throughput material screening based solely on composition and structural prototypes. BatteryFormer demonstrates robust predictive performance across a wide range of intervals.

The O3-NaNiMnO is considered a promising cathode, while its capacity degradation resulting from structural damage and the inherent Na diffusion barrier have posed significant challenges in practicability. Herein, a dual modification strategy is proposed by constructing a biphasic high-entropy cathode material, i.e.

Currently, the trade-off between oxygen permeation flux and structural stability in conventional perovskite oxides restricts the practical application of oxygen permeable membranes. In this study, a high-entropy design was applied to the B-site of BSCF matrix materials, resulting in the successful synthesis of a high-entropy perovskite, BaSrCoFeTaNiZrO. The crystal structure, microstructure, and elemental composition of the material were systematically characterized and analyzed.
