Article Abstract
Dendritic growth, hydrogen evolution reaction, and passivation of zinc anode severely limit the practical use of zinc metal batteries. Developing acidic electrolyte additives is capable of markedly augmenting the stability of zinc anode. However, the adsorption type of acidic additives on zinc anode is still unclear and its mechanism of stabilizing zinc anode needs to be further studied. In this work, the adsorption types of three dicarboxylic acids on zinc anode and action mechanism of stabilizing zinc anode are investigated in depth. The results show that the adsorption type of dicarboxylic acid on zinc anode is chemical adsorption instead of physical adsorption. The dicarboxylic acid reacts with the zinc anode to produce corresponding dicarboxylate and H. The dicarboxylate significantly inhibits the side reactions occurring at the zinc anode. As the number of -OH groups on the dicarboxylic acid backbone increases, the faster the chemical adsorption rate, the better the inhibition of side reactions. However, the loss of zinc anode is also more serious. In addition, the relationship between the SEI structure of Zn anode and the chemical adsorption of organic acids is explored. Compared with malic acid and tartaric acid additives, succinic acid additive has the best effect in stabilizing Zn anode. Zn||Cu asymmetric battery can be stably cycled for upwards of 2, 760 h at 4 mA/cm and 4 mAh/cm. This work provides valuable guidance for elucidating the action mechanism of stabilizing zinc anode with acidic electrolyte additives.

The denitrogenation of tetrazoles is typically performed using transition-metal catalysts at high temperatures due to the inherent stability of the tetrazole group. In this work, we present, for the first time, an electrochemical method for denitrogenating tetrazoles at room temperature. This method employs a sacrificial zinc anode and a platinum cathode in a solvent mixture of acetonitrile and water under a constant current in an undivided cell.

This study systematically investigates the role of nitrogen annealing in enhancing the structural and electrochemical properties of ZnNiO/NF composite anode materials synthesized via hydrothermal methods. By comparing air-annealed and nitrogen-annealed (400 and 600 °C) samples, it is demonstrated that nitrogen annealing at 400 °C induces the densely stacked nanosheet morphology with optimized lattice regularity, which can significantly improve the charge transport kinetics and the interfacial stability. Electrochemical evaluations reveal an outstanding initial discharge capacity of 1873.

The rapid advancement of implantable medical electronic devices has spurred substantial research into implantable energy storage systems. However, the presence of multiple film resistors in traditional sandwich structures impedes further enhancements in the electrochemical performance of supercapacitors and may result in contact failures between electrodes and separators or catastrophic short-circuit failures during tissue deformation. This study introduces a novel approach for fabricating all-in-one Zn-ion hybrid supercapacitors, which effectively mitigates performance degradation and safety concerns arising from interfacial issues.

Carbon-based catalysts with free-standing structure are essential for rechargeable zinc-air battery as electrodes, which can avoid the side effects brought by organic binder. However, the current preparation methods still can be improved for faster preparation process and morphology control. In this study, we reported a fabrication strategy of self-standing carbon catalyst loaded with CoFe nanoparticles and carbon nanotube as air electrodes for liquid rechargeable zinc-air battery.

The low-temperature oxidation of alkanes and arenes using molecular oxygen under ambient conditions is still one of the grand challenges of catalysis. Inspired by the alkane hydroxylation activity of the copper-based metalloenzyme, particulate methane monooxygenase, a tetra-copper polyoxometalate, [Cu(HO)(PWO)], was investigated as an electrocatalyst for the cathodic (reductive) oxidation of hydrocarbons with emphasis on oxidation of ethane.
