Lithium: how busy are you! In the current energy transition, lithium also plays a fundamental role in the electrochemical production of ammonia, i.e. a safe and strategic hydrogen carrier. This work analyses the main academic and industrial scenarios, showing the future prospects for large-scale production of e-ammonia with sustainable materials....

In this work, a nanoporous catalyst is designed to reach high ethylene selectivities and high carbon conversion efficiencies in a forward-bias bipolar membrane electrode assembly (MEA). The catalyst ionomer coating is further optimized through an annealing process to tune CO2 and water transport to the catalyst. The work showcases the industrial viability...

Herein, a quantitative deposition method is developed through drop-on-demand inkjet printing to study the influence of 2-adamantylamine hydrochloride (2-ADAHCl) deposition surface density on the device performance. Through quantitative passivator deposition, the passivation capability and interfacial contact between perovskite and hole transport layer...

A new perspective of previously ignored anion tuning is proposed to improve the hydrogen storage performance of 2LiBH4−MgH2 (Li-RHC). The anion, S2- bridges the reversible conversion between Li2S and MgS, eventually promoting the cycling stability of Li-RHC to an unprecedented number of laps. The results highlight the important role of anion in enhancing...

An efficient additive (6BAS) with multisite anchoring (C═O) as can promote the preferential crystallization of perovskite for realizing high-quality perovskite films with larger grain size and reduced defect state, which is beneficial to hot carriers extraction from perovskite layer into carrier transport layers and the decreased charge recombination...

The latent solvent with specific anion-philic and cation-phobic properties is introduced into aqueous zinc-ion electrolytes, which can remarkably increase Zn(TFSI)2 solubility in water and induce anion-containing solvation structures. These unique solvation structures enable anions to preferentially decompose to spawn an anion-derived SEI layer and...
