A Solid-State Electrolyte Based on Li0.95Na0.05FePO4 for Lithium Metal Batteries Adv. Mater. (IF 29.4) Pub Date : 2023-09-24 Bohao Peng, Zaichun Liu, Qi Zhou, Xiaosong Xiong, Shuang Xia, Xuelong Yuan, Faxing Wang, Kenneth I. Ozoemena, Lili Liu, Lijun Fu, Yuping Wu
Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) play a crucial role in developing lithium metal batteries (LMBs) with high safety and energy density. Exploring SSEs with excellent comprehensive performance is the key to achieving the practical application of LMBs. In this work, we demonstrate the great potential of Li0.95Na0.05FePO4 (LNFP) as an ideal SSE due to its enhanced ionic conductivity and reliable stability

Engineering A Boron-Rich Interphase with Nonflammable Electrolyte Towards Stable Li||NCM811 Cells Under Elevated Temperature Adv. Mater. (IF 29.4) Pub Date : 2023-09-23 Chao Yang, Mengting Zheng, Rui Qu, Hanyin Zhang, Luming Yin, Wenxi Hu, Jin Han, Jun Lu, Ya You
Despite the high energy of LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM811) cathode, it still suffers serious decay due to the continuous solvents decomposition and unstable cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) layers, especially under high temperatures. The intense exothermic reaction between delithiated NCM811 and flammable organic solvents, on the other hand, pushes the batteries to their safety limit. Herein, we tackle

Halide-Driven Synthetic Control of InSb Colloidal Quantum Dots Enables Short-Wave Infrared Photodetectors Adv. Mater. (IF 29.4) Pub Date : 2023-09-21 Muhammad Imran, Dongsun Choi, Darshan H. Parmar, Benjamin Rehl, Yangning Zhang, Ozan Atan, Gahyeon Kim, Pan Xia, Joao M. Pina, Mengsha Li, Yanjiang Liu, Oleksandr Voznyy, Sjoerd Hoogland, Edward H. Sargent
In the III-V family of colloidal quantum dot (CQDs) semiconductors, InSb promises access to a wider range of infrared wavelengths compared to many light-sensing material candidates. However, achieving the necessary size, size-dispersity, and optical properties has been challenging. Here we investigate the synthetic challenges associated with InSb CQDs and find that uncontrolled reduction of the antimony

Polysulfides in Magnesium-Sulfur Batteries Adv. Mater. (IF 29.4) Pub Date : 2023-09-23 Tongtong Luo, Yang Wang, Brooke Elander, Michael Goldstein, Yu Mu, James Wilkes, Mikayla Fahrenbruch, Justin Lee, Tevin Li, Junwei Lucas Bao, Udayan Mohanty, Dunwei Wang
Mg-S batteries hold great promise as a potential alternative to Li-based technologies. Their further development hinges on solving a few key challenges, including the lower capacity and poorer cycling performance when compared to Li counterparts. At the heart of the issues is the lack of knowledge on polysulfide chemical behaviors in the Mg-S battery environment. In this Review, we provide a comprehensive

Manipulating Electron Redistribution in Ni2p for Enhanced Alkaline Seawater Electrolysis Adv. Mater. (IF 29.4) Pub Date : 2023-09-23 Xiaobin Liu, Qingping Yu, Xinyue Qu, Xinping Wang, Jingqi Chi, Lei Wang
Developing bifunctional electrocatalyst for seawater splitting remains a persistent challenge. Herein, we propose an approach through density functional theory (DFT) pre-analysis to manipulate electron redistribution in Ni2P addressed by cation doping and vacancy engineering. The needle-like Fe-doped Ni2P with P vacancy (Fe-Ni2Pv) was successfully synthesized on nickel foam, exhibiting a superior bifunctional

Laser-Based Selective Material Processing for Next-Generation Additive Manufacturing Adv. Mater. (IF 29.4) Pub Date : 2023-09-23 Huijae Park, Jung JaePark, Phuong-Danh Bui, Hyeokjun Yoon, CostasP. Grigoropoulos, Daeho Lee, Seung Hwan Ko
The connection between laser-based material processing and additive manufacturing is quite deeply rooted. In fact, the spark that started the field of additive manufacturing was the idea that two intersecting laser beams could selectively solidify a vat of resin. Ever since, laser has been accompanying the field of additive manufacturing, with its repertoire expanded from processing only photopolymer

Shape-Configurable MXene-Based Thermoacoustic Loudspeakers with Tunable Sound Directivity Adv. Mater. (IF 29.4) Pub Date : 2023-09-22 Jinyoung Kim, Geonyoung Jung, Seokhee Jung, Myung Hwan Bae, Jeonghee Yeom, Jonghwa Park, Youngoh Lee, Young-Ryul Kim, Dong-hee Kang, Joo Hwan Oh, Seungyoung Park, Ki-Seok An, Hyunhyub Ko
Film-type shape-configurable speakers with tunable sound directivity are in high demand for wearable electronics. Flexible, thin thermoacoustic (TA) loudspeakers—which are free from bulky vibrating diaphragms—show promise in this regard. However, configuring thin TA loudspeakers into arbitrary shapes is challenging because of their low sound pressure level (SPL) under mechanical deformations and low
