Bimetallic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with an ultrathin configuration are compelling materials for developing high-performance energy storage devices on account of their unique structural merits. Herein, a hydrangea-like NiCo-MOF is well prepared using controllable solvothermal and cation-exchange processes, synchronously achieving bimetallic nodes and hierarchical ultrathin architecture. The structural superiority enables NiCo-MOF of expanded electrons' transfer pathways and multitudinous electrolytes' diffusion channels, resulting in a significant enhancement in pseudocapacitive performance. Coupling with the bimetallic nature and constructional advantages, NiCo-MOF shows superior gravimetric capacity (832.6 C g at 1 A g) and electrochemical kinetics to those of monometallic Ni-MOF and Co-MOF. Importantly, the quasi-solid-state hybrid supercapacitor (HSC) based on the NiCo-MOF cathode and active carbon (AC) anode delivers a desirable energy density (45.3 Wh kg at 847.8 W kg), a favorable power density (7160.0 W kg at 23.3 Wh kg), a remarkable cyclability (82.4% capacity retention over 7000 cycles), and a capability of driving miniature electronics, exhibiting its potential in practical applications. This work presents an efficient design strategy to develop kinetics-favorable MOF materials for energy storage.

Bio-artificial photosynthetic systems can reduce CO into multicarbon compounds by simulating natural photosynthesis. Here, inspired by organic photovoltaic structures, we demonstrate a bio-artificial photosynthetic system based on the hybridization of polymer semiconductor films and bacteria. The study suggests that the polymer-based semiconductor film can efficiently drive the non-photosynthetic bacteria to convert CO to acetate.

The rapid development of wearable and intelligent flexible devices has posed strict requirements for power sources, including excellent mechanical strength, inherent safety, high energy density, and eco-friendliness. Zn-ion batteries with aqueous quasi-solid-state electrolytes (AQSSEs) with various functional groups that contain electronegative atoms (O/N/F) with tunable electron accumulation states are considered as a promising candidate to power the flexible devices and tremendous progress has been achieved in this prospering area. Herein, this review proposes a comprehensive summary of the recent achievements using the AQSSE in flexible devices by focusing on the significance of different functional groups.

Article Synopsis
- Quasi-solid-state lithium metal batteries (LMBs) are being developed for better energy storage, focusing on safety and high specific energy through in situ polymerization of PDOL-based electrolytes.
- A new approach using Ga(OTF) initiator leads to a PDOL-based gel electrolyte (GaPD), creating a stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) that prevents lithium dendrite growth.
- Experimental results show the Li/GaPD/Li cells can operate stably for 1600 hours and the LiFePO/GaPD/Li cells maintain 90.2% capacity over 200 cycles, demonstrating potential for high-performance LMB applications.
