Poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) based electrolyte is a promising alternative to liquid electrolytes in lithium metal batteries. However, its commercial application is limited by high crystallinity and low Li+ ion conductivity. In this study, we synthesized a fluorinated Li-based metal-organic framework (Li-MOF-F) and used it as a filler to address these limitations.

Well-defined single-atom catalysts (SACs) serve as ideal model systems for directly comparing experimental results with theoretical calculations, offering profound insights into heterogeneous catalytic processes. However, precisely designing and controllably synthesizing SACs remain challenging due to the unpredictable structure evolution of active sites and generation of embedded active sites, which may bring about steric hindrance during chemical reactions. Herein, we present the precious nonpyrolysis synthesis of Re SACs with a well-defined phenanthroline coordination supported by NiO (Re-phen/NiO).

Considering factors such as crustal reserves, atomic mass, redox potential and energy density, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are regarded as the most promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Transition metal-based layered oxides, especially typical NaMnO, stand out among cathode materials due to their low cost and high energy density. However, NaMnO cathodes face several challenges, including Jahn-Teller distortion, manganese dissolution, structural collapse, irreversible phase transition and significant capacity loss.
