A fundamental mechanism underlying nanopore-confined crystallization and coordination/de-coordination reactions of quinone molecules has been proposed, enabling highly stable and fast Zn2+ storage for aqueous zinc–organic batteries.
Illustration of the gaseous production and overall coverage for different conditions using both the MkM and kMC methods.
The synthesis of Co-ZIF polymorphs was realized in an aqueous medium. The variation of reaction mixture composition along with the metal precursor addition strategy allowed to prepare leaf-like, cuboid, pitaya-like, and rhombic dodecahedron Co-ZIFs.
The dual-site doping of Li, relies on transition metal site substitution to reduce the Mn3+ content, suppresses the potential J–T effect and synergises with the “pillar” structure formed by alkali metal site substitution.
Inspired by photosynthesis, a dual-mode self-healing coating was developed: it enables rapid repair via photothermal conversion and long-term anti-corrosion protection via ‘multilayered trapping effect’ of peony-like ZnO heterostructure.
