Article Abstract

Photoluminescence-based electrochemical microscopy enables micrometer-scale probing of electrode heterogeneity. Our results revealed a correlation between the potential-negative differential photoluminescence profile and the corresponding cyclic voltammogram. We further elucidated the structure-activity relationship linking interfacial heterogeneity to the electrocatalytic performance of electrodeposited CuO as a proof-of-concept experiment.

MXenes serve as pivotal candidates for pseudocapacitive energy storage owing to sound proton/electron-transport capability and tunable topology. However, the metastable surface terminal properties and the progressive oxidation leads to drastic capacity fading, posing significant challenges for sustainable energy applications. Here, with the aramid nanofiber as the interface mediator, we engineer the thermal reconstruction of MXenes to synergistically introduce interfacial covalent and noncovalent interactions, resulting in a high specific capacitance of 531.

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging of ionic liquid (IL) distribution in electric double-layer (EDL) devices has been actively explored to understand the origin of their excellent performance. However, this has been impeded by insufficient resolution or a poor understanding of the mechanisms of 3D IL imaging. Here, we overcome these difficulties using 3D scanning force microscopy (3D-SFM) with variable tip/sample bias voltages for visualizing 3D ,-diethyl--methyl--(2-methoxyethyl)ammonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (DEME-TFSI) distributions on a Au electrode in EDL capacitors.

Electrochemical CO reduction (CORR) to carbon monoxide (CO) offers a sustainable pathway for carbon utilization, yet challenges remain in terms of improving selectivity and activity. Herein, we report a Ni/NC catalyst synthesized via a milling - pyrolysis method, in which Ni particles anchored on nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) are electrochemically activated under an Ar atmosphere, leading to their structural evolution into single-atom Ni sites. After activation in Ar atmosphere, the current density nearly doubles (from ≈30 to ≈60 mA cm), and concurrently, the Faradaic efficiency of CO stays at ∼90% with the potential set to -0.

Understanding the electrochemical extraction and deposition of lithium (Li) from cathode is crucial for advancing anode-free solid-state batteries (AFSSBs). Herein, cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) and electrochemical studies are employed to investigate how current collector surface properties, current densities, and cathode loadings influence the morphology of fresh electrochemically deposited Li and the electrochemical performance in sulfide-based AFSSBs. Cryo-TEM reveals that Cu current collectors induce irregular, dendritic Li deposits due to their lithiophobic nature and reactivity with LiPSCl (LPSC), while Ni and Au facilitate more uniform, planar-like Li growth.
