The continuous advancement in energy storage technologies necessitates the iteration of energy storage dielectrics urgently. However, the current state-of-the-art composite films fail to meet the application requirements of energy storage devices, which demand a combination of high discharged energy density (), high energy storage efficiency (), and excellent high-temperature performance. To address this challenge, we present an innovative interlayer composed of pure BN nanosheets in polyetherimide (PEI)-based asymmetrical multilayered composites doped with NaBiTiO ceramic fibers. This innovative structure confers the PEI-based composites upon synergistic optimization of polarization intensity, breakdown strength and energy loss by designed interface effectiveness adopting tailored filler and interface configuration as modulation means, which can be further confirmed by finite element simulations and comparative experiments. The resultant composite film achieves an excellent of 22.95 J cm and an ultra-high of 96.81% at ambient temperature, along with high-temperature performances of 12.88 J cm and 79.26% at 150 °C, surpassing all previously reported polymer films in terms of both metrics. This study provides new insights for developing high-performance energy storage dielectrics suitable for practical applications.

Engineering Air-Stable Triarylmethyl Radicals with One Pyrrole Ring.

Org Lett

January 2025

School of Chemistry, Engineering Research Center of Energy Storage Materials and Devices, Ministry of Education, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an 710049, China.

Herein, seven air-stable triarylmethyl radicals (-), each featuring a pyrrole ring, were successfully synthesized. A comprehensive investigation into the linkages at the α-, β-, and -positions of the pyrrole ring, along with various substituents, revealed that the p-π conjugation between the central radical carbon and the pyrrole ring plays a crucial role in the distribution of spin density and overall stability. Notably, radicals to displayed excellent electrochemical and photostability.

Cyano-Bridged Bimetallic Polymer Network-Derived PdFe Intermetallic for Aqueous Rechargeable Zinc-Air Batteries.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

January 2025

Functional Materials and Electrochemistry Lab, Department of Chemistry, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, Kharagpur, West Bengal 721302, India.

The rational design and synthesis of bifunctionally active and durable oxygen electrocatalysts have garnered significant attention for electrochemical energy conversion and storage. Intermetallic nanostructures are particularly promising for these applications due to their unique catalytic properties and exceptional durability. In this study, we present a fascinating synthetic approach for the direct synthesis of a bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst based on nitrogen-doped carbon-encapsulated ordered PdFe (o-PdFe@NC) intermetallic, using a cyano-bridged bimetallic single-source precursor tailored for aqueous rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs).

The integration of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with functional materials has established a versatile platform for a wide range of energy storage applications. Due to their large specific surface area, high porosity, and tunable structural properties, MOFs hold significant promise as components in energy storage systems, including electrodes, electrolytes, and separators for alkali metal-ion batteries (AIBs). Although lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used, their commercial graphite anode materials are nearing their theoretical capacity limits, and the scarcity of lithium and cobalt resources increases costs.

Phase evolutions of sodium layered oxide cathodes during thermal fluctuations.

Chem Commun (Camb)

January 2025

College of Chemistry and Materials Engineering, Wenzhou University, Wenzhou 325035, China.

Layered transition metal oxide (NaTMO) cathodes are considered highly appropriate for the practical applications of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to their facile synthesis and high theoretical capacity. Generally, the phase evolution behaviors of NaTMO during solid-state reactions at high temperature closely related to their carbon footprint, prime cost, and the eventual electrochemical properties, while the thermal stability in various desodiated states associated with wide temperature fluctuations are extremely prominent to the electrochemical properties and safety of SIB devices. Therefore, in this review, the influences of sintering conditions such as pyrolysis temperature, soaking time, and cooling rates on the phase formation patterns of NaTMO are summarized.
