We report on electrical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) performing effectively at low temperature (down to -40 °C), owing to the tuned characteristics of both the ionic liquid (IL) electrolyte and carbonaceous electrodes. The transport properties of the electrolyte have been enhanced by adding a low-viscosity IL with the tetracyanoborate anion, [EMIm][TCB], to a mixture of [EMIm][FSI] with [EMIm][BF ], which was already successfully applied for this application. The formulated ternary electrolyte, [EMIm][FSI] [BF ] [TCB] , remained in the liquid state until it reached the glass transition at -99 °C and displayed a relatively low viscosity and high conductivity (η=23.6 mP s and σ=14.2 mS cm at 20 °C, respectively). The electrodes were made of a hierarchical SiO -templated carbon with well-defined and uniform mesopores of ∼9 nm facilitating ion transport to the interconnected micropores accounted for the charge storage, whereas the high density of the electrodes promoted high volumetric energy outputs of the cells.

Knowledge Gap: The aggregation of clay minerals in liquid water exemplifies colloidal self-assembly in nature. These negatively charged aluminosilicate platelets interact through multiple mechanisms with different sensitivities to particle shape, surface charge, aqueous chemistry, and interparticle distance and exhibit complex aggregation structures. Experiments have difficulty resolving the associated colloidal assemblages at the scale of individual particles.

The dielectric constant, although a simplified concept when considering atomic scales, enters many mean-field, electrochemical interface models and constant potential models as an important parameter. Here, we use ab initio and machine-learned molecular dynamics to scrutinize the behavior of the electronic contribution to ɛr(z) as a function of distance z from a Pt(111) surface. We show that the resulting dielectric profile can largely be explained as a sum of the metallic response and the density-scaled water response at the interface.

This work reports on the preparation process of a double-layer perovskite active layer. The first active layer film, CsKPEAPbIBr, was fabricated using a spin-coating method, while the second active layer, MAPbBr, was deposited using MAPbBr single crystals as the evaporation source. Additionally, doping the PEDOT: PSS hole transport layer with ETA and EDA can enhance the uniformity of the perovskite film and reduce voids, improving charge transport efficiency.

Si anode materials are promising candidates for next-generation Li-ion batteries (LIBs) because of their high capacities. However, expansion and low conductivity result in rapid performance degradation. Herein, we present a facile one-pot method for pyrolyzing polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) polymers at low temperatures (≤400 °C) to form a thin carbonaceous layer on the silicon surface.

Gradient porous carbon has become a potential electrode material for energy storage devices, including the aqueous zinc-ion hybrid capacitor (ZIHC). Compared with the sufficient studies on the fabrication of ZIHCs with high electrochemical performance, there is still lack of in-depth understanding of the underlying mechanisms of gradient porous structure for energy storage, especially the synergistic effect of ultramicropores (<1 nm) and micropores (1-2 nm). Here, we report a design principle for the gradient porous carbon structure used for ZIHC based on the data-mining machine learning (ML) method.
