TL;DR: Inspired by the chromogenic reaction between starch and iodine, a structure confinement strategy is proposed to suppress polyiodide shuttling in Zn-I2 batteries by hiring starch, due to its unique double-helix structure as discussed by the authors .

TL;DR: In this article , a new strategy for tuning the active sites of tetrahedral centers and octahedral centers in NixCo3−xO4 through tailoring the non-stoichiometric ratio of Ni and Co.

TL;DR: In this paper , a stress-distribution binder with high ionic conductivity is constructed by grating polyacrylamide (PAM) onto ionconductive guar gum backbone, and the mechanical stress distribution toward the grafted PAM chain enables the effective stress dissipation of the GG•g•PAM binder, and thus maintains a stable electrodeelectrolyte interface during cycling.

TL;DR: In this paper , a dual-functional organic additive cyclohexanedodecol (CHD) was used to first establish [Zn(H2O)5(CHD)]2+ complex ion in an aqueous Zn electrolyte and secondly build a robust protection layer on the Zn surface to overcome the challenges of dendrite growth, hydrogen evolution, corrosion, and passivation of zinc anode during charging and discharging processes.

TL;DR: In this article , an engineering pre-lithiation binder strategy based on polyacrylic acid (LixPAA) is proposed for representative SiOx anodes, which significantly improves the Coulombic efficiency and cycling lives of Si Ox anodes by precisely controlling the lithiation degree of PAA binder.
