Article Synopsis
- The study challenges the conventional understanding of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) by revealing two distinct pore types in a widely studied imine-based COF through real-space imaging.
- Real-space imaging led to a reconsideration of the structural model, emphasizing differences in pore configurations and the presence of previously unidentified defects.
- This research underscores the complexity of COF structures and the necessity for advanced characterization methods to accurately assess their properties and potential applications.

Article Synopsis
- - The study introduces a new bilayer solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) for zinc (Zn) electrodes to enhance their stability during repeated charging and discharging processes, addressing the problem of single-layer SEIs failing under stress.
- - The bilayer SEI consists of a crystalline outer layer rich in ZnCO and an amorphous inner layer rich in ZnS, which together improve mechanical stability and facilitate uniform zinc transport, leading to efficient zinc deposition.
- - Results show that this bilayer SEI allows for an impressive durability of 4800 cycles with a Coulombic efficiency of 99.95% and a high zinc utilization rate, proving its potential for stable performance in Zn-based batteries.
