Recent advances and various detection strategies of deep eutectic solvents for zinc air batteries.

Sustainable technology in energy-related applications will be crucial in the coming decades. As a result, developing new materials for existing processes has presently arisen as a major research priority. Recently, Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been expected as low-cost task-specific solvents for zinc-air batteries (ZABs).

Ag doped CoO nanoparticles for high-performance supercapacitor application.

Ag doped CoO nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized via a co-precipitation method changing the concentration of Ag. The crystal structure, morphology, surface area, functional group, optical band gap, and thermal property were investigated by XRD, SEM, BET, FTIR, UV-Vis, and TGA/DTA techniques. The XRD results showed the formation of single-cubic CoO nanostructured materials with an average crystal size of 19.

Nucleation and Growth Mechanism of Lithium Metal Electroplating.

Understanding the mechanism of Li nucleation and growth is essential for providing long cycle life and safe lithium ion batteries or lithium metal batteries. However, no quantitative report on Li metal deposition is available, to the best of our knowledge. We propose a model for quantitatively understanding the Li nucleation and growth mechanism associated with the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation, which we name the Li-SEI model.
