Researchers at Shandong University tackled the issues of low conductivity and iodine migration in zinc-iodine batteries by designing a novel cathode material. By embedding single-atom Zn catalysts ...

Molybdenum carbide (MoC) nanoclusters embedded in porous nitrogen-doped carbon fibers with atomic Zn-N 4 sites exhibit a physicochemical confinement effect on iodine species and enhance electron/ion ...

Researchers converted layered MXenes into chemically bonded solids using metal intercalation, boosting thermal stability and performance in zinc-iodine batteries. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Two-dimensional ...

Rechargeable aqueous zinc-iodine batteries get a lot of attention because they are safe, do not cost much, and have a high theoretical capacity. Zinc has a high theoretical capacity (820 mAh g-1) and ...

A team has reported the first demonstration of selective electrochemical separation driven by halogen bonding. This was achieved by engineering a polymer that modulates the charge density on a halogen ...
