Aqueous Zn-ion batteries (ZIBs) have garnered significant interest as an important solution for large-scale energy storage due to their enhanced safety and affordability. Nevertheless, dendrites formation and side reactions faced by Zn anodes have hindered their commercial development. Electrolyte additives, among various methods to stabilize Zn anodes, have emerged as the most commercially viable technique due to their low dosage and potent effects, offering substantial economic benefits. While massive literature reviews have explored strategies for comprehensive Zn anode stabilization, there...

In a recent paper published in Frontiers in Energy, researchers from Beijing University of Technology developed a new hydrogen production catalyst using MXene material and a small amount of platinum and cobalt.

Designing novel single-atom catalysts (SACs) supports to modulate the electronic structure is crucial to optimize the catalytic activity, but rather challenging. Herein, a general strategy is proposed to utilize the metalloid properties of supports to trap and stabilize single-atoms with low-valence states. A series of single-atoms supported on the surface of tungsten carbide (M-WCx, M=Ru, Ir, Pd) are rationally developed through a facile pyrolysis method. Benefiting from the metalloid properties of WCx, the single-atoms exhibit weak coordination with surface W and C atoms, resulting in the fo...

Gold nanoclusters are emerging as a potential solution to enhance the efficiency of hydrogen production through water electrolysis, a crucial process...

Researchers show the hydrogen evolution reaction activity of AuNi/Au electrocatalyst increases due to surface defects formed via Ni dealloying.
