Advanced rechargeable aluminium ion battery with a high-quality natural graphite cathode

Rechargeable aluminium ion batteries are an emerging class of energy storage device. Here the authors reveal high-quality natural graphite as a promising cathode for Al-ion batteries, also identifying chloroaluminate anion intercalation in graphite by Raman spectroscopy.

Three-dimensionally bonded spongy graphene material with super compressive elasticity and near-zero Poisson’s ratio

The incorporation of the desirable properties of graphene into three-dimensional materials remains challenging. Here, the authors report the scalable self-assembly of graphene sheets into spongy materials with very low densities, and near-zero and largely strain-independent Poisson's ratios in all directions.

A self-healing electrocatalytic system via electrohydrodynamics induced evolution in liquid metal

Self-healing electrodes may offer opportunities to prevent catalyst deterioration during electrocatalytic reactions. Here the authors demonstrate a self-healing system by exploiting electrohydrodynamics induced evolution of Bi in liquid metal and apply this to CO₂ electroreduction to formate.

Tribo-electrochemistry induced artificial solid electrolyte interface by self-catalysis

Potassium metal is a promising alkali metal anode but formation of dendrites limits its application. Here, the authors report construction of a continuous and compact protective layer on potassium metal anode through a self-catalysis tribo-electrochemistry reaction in seconds.

An ultrafast rechargeable aluminium-ion battery

An aluminium-ion battery is reported that can charge within one minute, and offers improved cycle life compared to previous devices; it operates through the electrochemical deposition and dissolution of aluminium at the anode, and the intercalation/de-intercalation of chloroaluminate anions into a novel graphitic-foam cathode.
