Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) deliver potential applications in electrochromism and energy storage. However, the poor intrinsic conductivity of MOFs in electrolytes seriously hampers the development of the above-mentioned electrochemical applications, especially in one MOF electrode. Herein, a new Ni-based MOF (denoted Ni-DPNDI) is proposed with enhanced conductivity by π-delocalized DPNDI connectors. Predictably, the obtained Ni-DPNDI MOF achieves a conductivity of up to 4.63 S∙m at 300 K. Profiting from its unique electronic structure, the Ni-DPNDI MOF delivers excellent electrochromic and energy storage performance with a great optical modulation (60.8%), a fast switching speed (t = 7.9 s and t = 6.4 s), a moderate specific capacitance (25.3 mAh·g) and good cycle stability over 2000 times. Meanwhile, energy storage capacity is visual by the coloration states of Ni-DPNDI film. As a proof of the potential application, a large-area (100 cm) electrochromic energy storage smart window is further designed and displayed. The strategy provides an interesting alternative to porous multifunctional materials for the new generation of electronic devices with diverse applications.

All-solid-state fluoride-ion batteries (FIBs) have attracted extensive attention as candidates for next-generation energy storage devices; however, promising cathodes with high energy density are still lacking. In this study, CuN is investigated as a cathode material for all-solid-state fluoride-ion batteries, which offers enough anionic vacancies around the 2-fold coordinated Cu center for F intercalation, thereby enabling a multielectron-transferred fluorination process. The contribution of both cationic and anionic redox to charge compensation, in particular, the generation of molecular nitrogen species in highly charged states, has been proved by several synchrotron-radiation-based spectroscopic technologies.

Silicon-based anode materials experience significant volume changes and low conductivity during the lithiation process, which severely hinders their successful application in lithium-ion batteries. Reducing the size of silicon particles and effectively combining them with carbon-based materials are considered the main strategies to enhance the lithium-ion storage performance of silicon-based anodes. In this study, we employed a "bottom-up" strategy to synthesize Si@C anode materials by cross-linking octa-aminopropyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (NH-POSS) with terephthalaldehyde and subsequent high-temperature treatment and low-temperature liquid reduction.

During the last decades, the use of innovative hybrid materials in energy storage devices has led to notable advances in the field. However, further enhancement of their electrochemical performance faces significant challenges nowadays, imposed by the materials used in the electrodes and the electrolyte. Such problems include the high solubility of both the organic and the inorganic anode components in the electrolyte as well as the limited intrinsic electronic conductivity and substantial volume variation of the materials during cycling.

Fulfilment of energy demand by utilizing renewable energy sources that do not contribute to the production of greenhouse gases is a step forward in mitigating global warming. However, with the energy sources being intermittent in nature, renewable energy needs to be stored effectively on a grid scale. In this context, the development of redox-flow batteries has emerged as a promising technology where charging and discharging processes are accomplished by the redox shuttling of the electrolytes, namely anolytes and catholytes.
