Silver flowerlike and dendritic nanostructures were synthesized in an aqueous solution of a hydrolysable amphiphilic block copolymer polyvinylacetone (PVKA) via in situ reduction of Ag(+) and hydrolysis of PVKA at room temperature. Compared with a previous result, the complete hydrolysis time of PVKA is greatly shortened in this process.

The practical application of solid polymer electrolyte is hindered by the small transference number of Li, low ionic conductivity and poor interfacial stability, which are seriously determined by the microenvironment in polymer electrolyte. The introduction of functional fillers is an effective solution to these problems. In this work, based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations, it is demonstrated that the anion vacancy of filler can anchor anions of lithium salt, thereby significantly increasing the transference number of Li in the electrolyte.

Combining the merits of the dendrite-free formation of a Mg anode and the fast kinetics of Li ions, the Mg-Li hybrid ion batteries (MLIBs) are considered an ideal energy storage system. However, the lack of advanced cathode materials limits their further practical application. Herein, we report a dual strategy of morphology optimization and interlayer expansion for the construction of hierarchical flower-like VS architecture coated by N-doped amorphous carbon layers.

R. China.

Parasitic side reactions and dendrite growth on zinc anodes are formidable issues causing limited lifetime of aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs). Herein, a spontaneous cascade optimization strategy is first proposed to regulate Zn migration-diffusion behavior. Specifically, PAPE@Zn layer with separation-reconstruction properties is constructed in situ on Zn anode.

Aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) have been widely investigated due to their characteristics of convenient operation and intrinsic safety. However, there are several issues to be addressed in AZIBs, such as slow diffusion kinetics of Zn, cathode material dissolution and the dendrite formation of zinc anodes. Thus, it is challenging to prepare a high-performance cathode material.
