Dielectric energy storage devices with high power density show great potential in applications of smart grids, electrical vehicles, pulsed power weapons, and so on. However, their limited recoverable energy density badly restricts their utilization and harms the miniaturization, portability, and integration of electronics. Herein, equivalent amounts of BiO and ScO were introduced to improve the energy storage property of 0.10 wt % MnO-doped AgNbO@SiO ceramics by simultaneously enhancing the maximum polarization, breakdown strength, and relaxation feature. It is particularly interesting that the AgNbO-based ceramics with 4 mol % BiO and ScO demonstrate the recoverable energy storage density of 5.9 J/cm with the energy storage efficiency of 71%, exhibiting 1.9 and 1.4 times enhancement compared to 0.10 wt % MnO-doped AgNbO@SiO ceramics. In addition, the benign energy storage performance can be maintained at elevated temperatures and frequencies and up to 10 cycling, indicating great potential in advanced high-power applications.

In the post-lithium-ion battery era, potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have been considered as a promising candidate because of their electrochemical and economic characteristics. However, as an emerging electrochemical storage technology, it is urgent to develop capable anode materials that can be produced at low cost and on a large scale to promote its practical application. Biomass-derived carbon materials as anodes of PIBs exhibit strong competitiveness by their merits of low weight, high stability, non-toxicity, and wide availability.

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are promising candidates for lithium metal batteries (LMBs) owing to their safety features and compatibility with lithium metal anodes. However, the inferior ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability of SPEs hinder their application in high-voltage solid-state LMBs (HVSSLMBs). Here, a strategy is proposed to develop a dual-anion-rich solvation structure by implementing ferroelectric barium titanate (BTO) nanoparticles (NPs) and dual lithium salts into poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)-based SPEs for HVSSLMBs.

High-performance and cost-effective hole-collecting materials (HCMs) are indispensable for commercially viable perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Here, we report an anchorable HCM composed of a triazatruxene core connected with three alkyl carboxylic acid groups (). In contrast to the phosphonic acid-containing tripodal analog (), molecules can form a hydrophilic monolayer on a transparent conducting oxide surface, which is beneficial for subsequent perovskite film deposition in the traditional layer-by-layer fabrication process.

Bicontinuous particle-stabilized emulsions (bijels) are unique soft materials that combine the bulk properties of two immiscible fluids into a single interconnected structure. This structure is achieved through the formation of two interwoven fluid networks, stabilized by an interfacial layer of colloidal particles. Bijels with submicron-scale domain networks can be synthesized solvent transfer-induced phase separation (STrIPS).
