A Si/Si-Co multilayer film, with Co confined doping in the silicon anode, was successfully fabricated by alternating magnetron sputtering, achieving both metal doping and surface coating. magnetometry revealed the stability of the Si-Co layers during cycling. The symmetrical Si-Co layers can protect the overall structure of the Si anodes and facilitate electron conduction. Consequently, the resultant Si anode delivers an impressive initial coulombic efficiency of 93.4% with large capacity retention of 85.07% after 100 cycles.

Developing high-energy-density lithium-sulfur batteries faces serious polysulfide shuttle effects and sluggish conversion kinetics, often necessitating the excessive use of electrolytes, which in turn adversely affects battery performance. Our study introduces a meticulously designed electrocatalyst, Cu-CeO@N/C, to enhance lean-electrolyte lithium-sulfur battery performance. This catalyst, featuring in situ synthesized Cu clusters, regulates oxygen vacancies in CeO and forms Cu-CeO heterojunctions, thereby diminishing sulfur conversion barriers and hastening reaction kinetics through the generation of S/S intermediates.

Flat bands in Kagome graphene might host strong electron correlations and frustrated magnetism upon electronic doping. However, the porous nature of Kagome graphene opens a semiconducting gap due to quantum confinement, preventing its fine-tuning by electrostatic gates. Here we induce zero-energy states into a semiconducting Kagome graphene by inserting π-radicals at selected locations.

As a novel fluorescent carbon nanomaterial, carbon dots are restricted by their poor fluorescence in the solid state, although they exhibit favorable photoluminescence in solution. N-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) and solid-state fluorescence films were prepared using green and renewable cellulose-derived materials, respectively. The hydrogen bonding network of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) inhibits the self-aggregation behavior of N-CDs, which leads to solid-state fluorescence.

Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) doping is a widely employed strategy to facilitate anhydrous proton transport in high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (HT-PEMFCs). However, significant H3PO4 leaching during long-term operation poses critical challenges to maintaining membrane stability and proton conductivity. Herein, H3PO4 is incorporated into positively charged nanochannels of quaternized covalent organic framework membranes (QACOFMs), leveraging strong electrostatic interactions and confinement effects to achieve exceptional H3PO4 retention under hydration conditions.

Metal selenides hold promise as feasible anode materials for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs), but still face problems such as poor potassium storage kinetics and dramatic volume expansion. Coupling heterostructure engineering with structural design could be an effective strategy for rapid and stable K+ storage. Herein, CoSe/MoSe2 heterojunction encapsulated in nitrogen-doped carbon polyhedron and further interconnected by three-dimensional nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers (CoMoSe@NCP/NCFs) is ingeniously constructed.
