Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are gaining recognition as promising next-generation energy storage solution, due to their intrinsic safety and low cost. Nevertheless, the advancement of AZIBs is greatly limited by the abnormal growth of zinc dendrites during cycling. Electrolyte additives are effective at suppressing zinc dendrites, but there is currently no effective additive screening criterion.

Article Synopsis
  • Rapid advancements in robotic platforms for chemistry are hindered by their current inability to adapt to changing conditions in real-time.
  • A new dynamically programmable system has been developed that uses seven sensors to monitor reactions continuously, enabling it to optimize and discover new molecules efficiently.
  • The system successfully demonstrated closed-loop optimization through in-line spectroscopy techniques, resulting in significant yield improvements and the discovery of new reactions and molecules.

Harvesting water vapor from desert, arid environments by metal-organic framework (MOF) based devices to deliver clean liquid water is critically dependent on environment and climate conditions. However, reported devices have yet been developed to adapt in real-time to such conditions during their operation, which severely limits water production efficiency and unnecessarily increases power consumption. Herein, we report and detail a mode of water harvesting operation, termed 'adaptive water harvesting', from which a MOF-based device is proven capable of adapting the adsorption and desorption phases of its water harvesting cycle to weather fluctuations throughout a given day, week, and month such that its water production efficiency is continuously optimized.

We developed a 16-channel millifluidic reactor that uses a multiphase gas-liquid flow to continuously produce colloidal CsPbBr quantum dots with a throughtput of ∼1 L h. The optical properties of the product were monitored, and the reaction conditions were optimized in real time based on the in situ photoluminescence characteristics of the quantum dots.
