Improving the ionic conductivity of polymer electrolytes induced by ceramic nanowire fillers with abundant lithium vacancies.

The addition of ceramic fillers is regarded as an effective strategy for enhancing the ionic conductivity of polymer electrolytes. However, particulate fillers typically fail to provide continuous conductive pathways and effective reinforcement. Herein, we report a ceramic nanowire filler with long-range interfacial conductivity and abundant lithium vacancies for a poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based all-solid-state polymer electrolyte.

Polymer Coating with Balanced Coordination Strength and Ion Conductivity for Dendrite-Free Zinc Anode.

Decorating Zn anodes with functionalized polymers is considered as an effective strategy to inhibit dendrite growth. However, this normally brings extra interfacial resistance rendering slow reaction kinetics of Zn .

Integrated Construction Improving Electrochemical Performance of Stretchable Supercapacitors Based on Ant-Nest Amphiphilic Gel Electrolytes.

Aqueous integrated stretchable supercapacitors (ISSCs) have attracted extensive attention due to the intrinsic safety in future wearable electronics. However, aqueous ISSCs usually suffer from low energy density and poor dynamic deformation stability owing to the conventional hydrogel electrolytes' narrow electrochemical stability window (ESW) and dissatisfied interface bonding. Herein, an ant-nest amphiphilic polyurethane hydro/organogel electrolyte (sAPUGE) with a wide ESW (≈2.

Stretchable sodium-ion capacitors based on coaxial CNT supported NaTiO with high capacitance contribution.

Stretchable sodium-ion capacitors (SSICs) are promising energy storage devices for wearable electronic devices, and the development bottleneck is the realization of stretchable battery-type electrodes with desirable electrochemical properties during dynamic deformation. Herein, we find that electrostatic modification of acidified carbon nanotubes with polyamines can introduce active sites and modulate the surface pH microenvironment, thereby developing a route to realize the coaxial nanometerization of sodium titanate (nCNT@NTO). The nCNT@NTO anode material has a fast Na transport and the high capacitive contribution, which can deliver a high specific capacity (206.

High-Performance-Integrated Stretchable Supercapacitors Based on a Polyurethane Organo/Hydrogel Electrolyte.

Stretchable supercapacitors (SSCs) are promising energy storage devices for emerging wearable electronics. However, the low-energy density and poor deformation performance are still a challenge.
