    Abstract The anode-free battery architecture has recently emerged as a promising platform for lithium and sodium metal batteries as it not only offers the highest possible energy density, but also eliminates the need for handling hazardous metal electrodes during cell manufacturing. However, such batteries usually suffer from much faster capacity decay and are much more sensitive to even trace levels of irreversible side reactions on the anode, especially for the more reactive Na metal. This work systematically investigates electrochemical interfaces for Na plating and stripping and describes the use of the Zn surface to develop nearly fully reversible Na anodes with 1.0 M NaPF

    Abstract One of the grand challenges that impedes practical applications of nanomaterials is the lack of robust manufacturing methods that are scalable, cheap, and environmentally friendly. Herein, we address this challenge by developing a microfluidic approach that produces surfactant-free Pd nanocrystals (NCs) uniformly loaded on N-doped porous carbon in a one-batch process. The deep eutectic solvent (DES) prepared from choline chloride and ethylene glycol was employed as a novel synthesis solvent, and its extended hydrogen networks and abundant ionic species effectively stabilize Pd facets and confine nanocrystal sizes without using surfactants. The microreactors provide faster heat exchange and more uniform mass transport, which in combination with DES produced Pd NCs with better-defined shape and predominately exposed Pd (100) facet. Furthermore, we describe that the N-doped functional groups in porous carbon direct dense and uniform heterogeneous growth of Pd NCs in a one-batch process, thereby eliminating a separate catalyst deposition step that is often involved in conventional synthesis. The Pd NCs in the one-batch-produced Pd/C catalysts exhibited a size distribution of ∼13 ± 3.5 nm and a high ESCA of 46.0 m²/g and delivered 362 mA/mg for formic acid electrochemical oxidation with improved stability, demonstrating the unique potentials of microfluidic reactors and DES for the controllable and scalable synthesis of electrocatalyst materials for practical applications.

    Abstract The practical deployment of advanced Li-S batteries is severely constrained by the uncontrollable lithium polysulfide conversion under realistic conditions. Although a plethora of advanced sulfur hosts and electrocatalysts have been examined, the fundamental mechanisms are still elusive and predictive design approaches have not yet been established. Here, we examined a series of well-defined Fe-N-C sulfur hosts with systematically varied and strongly coupled Fe

    Abstract The low-cost sodium (Na) metal anode has high specific capacity and is one of the most promising electrode materials for next generation high-energy density batteries. Unfortunately, it is also extremely reactive and suffers from severe side reactions with almost all electrolytes, which results in detrimental failures including uncontrollable growth of mossy structures, fast electrolyte depletion and short cycle life. We report here the in situ synthesis of composite sponges with sodiated NaₓSnSb particles embedded in N-doped graphene (NG) frameworks for modulating Na anodes with significantly improved stability and fast charging capability. The sodiated NaₓSnSb composites function as seeding particles that guide low-overpotential and smooth growth of Na metal whereas the NG wrapping layers protect the freshly plated Na metal from detrimental side reactions with the battery electrolyte. As a result, as high as 95% of the freshly plated Na metal can be reversibly stripped during battery operation and this efficiency can last hundreds of cycles. We further show that the Na₃Sb phase in the NaₓSnSb composites played critical roles as sponges with only the Na₁₅Sn₄ phase have much lower performance. Overall, the synergy of guided growth from NaₓSnSb and shielding from NG allows multifunctional hosts that support Na anodes to cycle with nearly unchanged overpotential and charge transfer resistance for >500 cycles in both symmetric cells and full cells. The Na metal remained dense without measurable formation of unsafe dendrite or inactive mossy structures in these novel sponges even after aggressive cycling.
