Enhanced NH-SCR activity of Cu-SAPO-34 by regulating Si distribution an interzeolite conversion strategy.

Surface engineering of zinc plate by self-growth three-dimensional-interconnected zinc silicate nanosheets effectively guiding the deposition of zinc ion for aqueous Zn metal battery.

Among battery technologies, aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) have hit between the eyes in the next generation of extensive energy storage devices due to their outstanding superiority. The main problem that currently restricts the development of AZIBs is how to obtain stable Zn anodes. In this study, taking the improvement of a series of problems caused by the physically attached artificial interfacial layer on Zn anode as a starting point, a nanosheet morphology of ZnSiO (denoted as ZnSi) is constructed by self-growth on Zn foil (Zn@ZnSi) by a simple hydrothermal reaction.
