Ostwald-Ripening Induced Interfacial Protection Layer Boosts 1,000,000-Cycled Hydronium-Ion Battery.

Collapsing and degradation of active materials caused by the electrode/electrolyte interface instability in aqueous batteries are one of the main obstacles that mitigate the capacity. Herein by reversing the notorious side reactions include the loss and dissolution of electrode materials, as we applied Ostwald ripening (OR) in the electrochemical cycling of a copper hexacyanoferrate electrode in a hydronium-ion batteries, the dissolved Cu and Fe ions undergo a crystallization process that creates a stable interface layer of cross-linked cubes on the electrode surface. The layer exposed the low-index crystal planes (100) and (110) through OR-induced electrode particle growth, supplemented by vacancy-ordered (100) superlattices that facilitated ion migration.

Lattice Strain Engineering Boosts CO Electroreduction to C Products.

Regulating the binding effect between the surface of an electrode material and reaction intermediates is essential in highly efficient CO electro-reduction to produce high-value multicarbon (C) compounds. Theoretical study reveals that lattice tensile strain in single-component Cu catalysts can reduce the dipole-dipole repulsion between *CO intermediates and promotes *OH adsorption, and the high *CO and *OH coverage decreases the energy barrier for C-C coupling. In this work, Cu catalysts with varying lattice tensile strain were fabricated by electro-reducing CuO precursors with different crystallinity, without adding any extra components.

Temperature-Tunable Nondestructive Detection of Electronic and Geometrical Structures in Battery Electrodes.

Real-time monitoring of the structural evolution of battery materials is crucial for understanding their underlying reaction mechanisms, which cannot be satisfied by the typically used post-mortem analysis. While more and more techniques were constructed and employed, they are all based on ambient working conditions that are not generally the case for real-world applications. Indeed, batteries work in an environment where self-heat dissipation increases the surrounding temperature, and extreme temperature applications (<-20 °C or >60 °C) are also frequently proposed.

The dissolution of transition metal ions causes the notorious peeling of active substances and attenuates electrochemical capacity. Frustrated by the ceaseless task of pushing a boulder up a mountain, Sisyphus of the Greek myth yearned for a treasure to be unearthed that could bolster his efforts. Inspirationally, by using ferricyanide ions (Fe(CN)) in an electrolyte as a driving force and taking advantage of the fast nucleation rate of copper hexacyanoferrate (CuHCF), we successfully reversed the dissolution of Fe and Cu ions that typically occurs during cycling.
