An approach is proposed to modify perovskite surface utilizing mixed solvents and metallocene materials. The mixed solvent efficiently exposes trap defects on the perovskite surface, while the high electronegativity metallocene material effectively passivates these defects, significantly enhancing carrier transport efficiency. A certified PCE exceeding...

The preferably interposed LiNbO3 coating layer onto NCM cathode not only ensures the rapid cathodic Li+ migration by minimizing the space charge layer (SCL) effect, but also achieves satisfactory performance for all-solid-state lithium batteries. Combining in/ex situ analysis with DFT calculation, the formation and evolution mechanism of SCL are comprehensively...

The focus lies in comprehending the reaction mechanisms that occur between different electrolyte components and LMR cathodes. The commonly used electrolyte LP57 exhibits significant side reactions with LMR cathode materials during cycling, resulting in severe voltage decay and structural degradation for LMR cathode. By employing an EC-free electrolyte,...

Harvesting renewable energy from ocean in the forms of water waves, wind, and solar radiation is able to realize self-powered seawater-splitting and on-site hydrogen production, which could greatly contribute to mitigating energy crisis, net zero emissions, and carbon neutrality. Abstract 70% of the earth's surface is covered by the ocean,...
