Aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) are truly promising contenders for the future large-scale
electrical energy storage applications due to their cost-effectiveness, environmental …

Zinc (Zn) metal is the mostly studied anode materials for aqueous Zn ion batteries (ZIBs)
mainly because of its excellent energy-storage nature and resource superiority. However …

Electrochemically converting nitrate ions, a widely distributed nitrogen source in industrial
wastewater and polluted groundwater, into ammonia represents a sustainable route for both …

Controlling the nucleation and growth of lithium metal is essential for realizing fast-charging
batteries. Here we report the growth of single-crystalline seeds that results in the deposition …

The corrosion, parasitic reactions, and aggravated dendrite growth severely restrict
development of aqueous Zn metal batteries. Here, we report a novel strategy to break the …

Aqueous zinc‐ion batteries are largely restricted by the unsatisfactory performance of zinc
(Zn) anodes, including their poor stability and irreversibility. In particular, the mechanism …

Aqueous zinc ion batteries are promising secondary batteries for next-generation
electrochemical energy storage. In this work, we report a hybrid electrolyte system with 3 M …

Integrating plasmonic nanoparticles into the photoactive metal-organic matrix is highly
desirable due to the plasmonic near field enhancement, complementary light absorption …

Scalable approaches for precisely manipulating the growth of crystals are of broad-based
science and technological interest. New research interests have reemerged in a subgroup of …

In nature, snowflake ice crystals arrange themselves into diverse symmetrical six-sided
structures. We show an analogy of this when zinc (Zn) dissolves and crystallizes in liquid …
