Article Abstract
Here, we explore a conjugated, contorted polymer framework tailored for ultrafast-rate charging/discharging, leveraging a tunable synthetic strategy to control its molecular length. We systematically explore the helical perylene diimide (hPDI) ladder polymers across three length regimes, short, medium, and long, to determine the optimal electrochemical stability and performance. The intermediate-length polymer strikes a critical balance between electrode integrity, solubility, and rate capability. Its reversible redox activity and structural robustness make it well-suited for both Li and Mg ions. The hPDI-medium cathode delivers a remarkable specific power of 22.4 kW kg after 10 000 cycles in Li batteries and 1.7 kW kg after 3000 cycles in Mg batteries, and we extend this to practically relevant mass loadings. This study highlights the critical role of molecular engineering in the rational design of high-performance organic cathode materials for sustainable energy storage.

Echolocating bats provide vital ecosystem services and can be monitored effectively using passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) techniques. Duty-cycle subsampling is widely used to collect PAM data at regular ON/OFF cycles to circumvent battery and storage capacity constraints for long-term monitoring. However, the impact of duty-cycle subsampling and potential detector errors on estimating bat activity has not been systematically investigated for bats.

Hard carbon (HC) has emerged as a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to its superior sodium storage performance. However, the high cost of conventional HC precursors remains a critical challenge. To address this, coal─a low-cost, carbon-rich precursor─has been explored for HC synthesis.

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) represent an environmentally benign energy storage alternative. However, the VO cathode suffers from limited cycling stability and rate capability due to structural instability, vanadium dissolution, and high desolvation energy caused by the large size of [Zn(HO)] deintercalation. Address these issues, we introduce a VO/VOPO (VOP) heterostructure that that reinforces the crystal structure to suppress vanadium dissolution and establishes a hydrophilic interface reducing the desolvation energy of Zn.

Low-temperature rechargeable batteries face great challenges due to the sluggish reaction kinetics. Redox covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with porous structures provide a viable solution to accelerate the ionic diffusion and reaction kinetics at low temperatures. However, the applications of COFs in low-temperature batteries are still at their infancy stage.

As a new generation of high-energy-density energy storage system, solid-state aluminum-ion batteries have attracted much attention. Nowadays polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based electrolytes have been initially applied to Lithium-ion batteries due to their flexible processing and good interfacial compatibility, their application in aluminum-ion batteries still faces problems. To overcome the limitations in aluminum-ion batteries-specifically, strong Al coordination suppressing ion dissociation, high room-temperature crystallinity, and inadequate mechanical strength-this study develops a blended polymer electrolyte (BPE) of polypropylene carbonate (PPC) and PEO.
