Over the past decades, Li-ion battery (LIB) has turned into one of the most important
advances in the history of technology due to its extensive and in-depth impact on our life. Its …

Traditionally it has been assumed that battery thermal management systems should be
designed to maintain the battery temperature around room temperature. That is not always …

Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are challenged by complex interfacial chemistry and poor ion
transport through the interfaces they form with battery electrodes. Here, we investigate a …

Liquid electrolytes composed of lithium salt in a mixture of organic solvents have been
widely used for lithium-ion batteries. However, the high flammability of the organic solvents …

Although the concept of Janus particles was raised in the early 1990s, the related research
has not attracted considerable interest until recently due to the special properties and …

The narrow electrochemical stability window, deleterious side reactions, and zinc dendrites
prevent the use of aqueous zinc‐ion batteries. Here, aqueous “soggy‐sand” electrolytes …

Janus nanoarchitectures, an emerging class of nanostructures named after the Roman god
having two faces, have been considered as a fascinating class of nanomaterials for …

For more than 5000 years, organic–inorganic composite materials created by men via skill
and serendipity have been part of human culture and customs. The concept of “hybrid …

A facile approach to fabricate a highly bendable plastic crystal composite electrolyte (PCCE)
for use in shape conformable all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries is demonstrated. This …

Janus structures, named after the ancient two‐faced Roman god Janus, comprise two
hemistructures (eg hemispheres) with different compositions and functionalities. Much …
