An improved N-N dimethylacetamide-based non-flammable molecular crowding electrolyte using NaOTf for cobalt-based prussian blue//hard carbon aqueous solution battery.

Aqueous sodium-ion batteries (ASIBs) are promising for large-scale electrical energy storage (LSEES) applications due to their cost and safety advantages. However, the low voltage stabilization window of water (∼1.23 V) and the lack of cathode with high specific capacity and long cycle life have limited their development.

Trimetallic MOF-derived CoFeNi/Z-P NC nanocomposites as efficient catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction.

We used sodium hydroxide-mediated approach and tannic acid etching to prepare hollow structured trimetallic MOF-derived CoFeNi/Z-P NC nanocomposites. Remarkably, the resulting CoFeNi/Z-P NC nanocomposites have large specific surface area and mesoporous structure, making their active sites more accessible and mass transfer more effective. More complex trimetallic components provide greater possibilities for further improving electrocatalytic performance.
