Synergistic Anion-Cation Chemistry Enables Highly Stable Zn Metal Anodes.

Engineering aqueous electrolytes with an ionic liquid (IL) for the zinc (Zn) metal anode has been reported to enhance the electrochemical performances of the Zn metal batteries (ZMBs). Despite these advancements, the effects of IL and the mechanisms involving their anions and cations have been scarcely investigated. Here, we introduce a novel electrolyte design strategy that synergizes anion-cation chemistry using a halogen-based IL and elucidates the underlying mechanism.

Predicting Key Events in the Popularity Evolution of Online Information.

The popularity of online information generally experiences a rising and falling evolution. This paper considers the "burst", "peak", and "fade" key events together as a representative summary of popularity evolution. We propose a novel prediction task-predicting when popularity undergoes these key events.
