Rechargeable aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) have manifested great potential as an
alternative to traditional electrochemical energy-storage devices. However, challenges …

Electromembrane processes including electrodialysis (ED) and related processes are
usually limited by diffusion transport of ions from a bulk solution to ion exchange …

Lithium (Li) or zinc (Zn) metal anodes have attracted interest for battery research due to their
high theoretical capacities and low redox potentials. However, uncontrollable dendrite …

Abstract Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries have a high specific capacity, but lithium polysulfide
(LPS) diffusion and lithium dendrite growth drastically reduce their cycle life. High discharge …

Batteries are an enabling technology for addressing sustainability through the electrification
of various forms of transportation 1 and grid storage. 2 Batteries are truly multi-scale, multi …

Solid electrolytes, once believed to be the enabler for lithium metal anodes, mysteriously
exhibit irregular electrodeposition. Despite continued efforts, the mechanisms of …

Interfacial deposition stability at the Li-metal-solid electrolyte interface in all solid-state
batteries is governed by the stress-transport-electrochemistry coupling in conjunction with …

Imaging of lithium electrodepositions revealed that in the absence of a compressed porous
separator, achieved via a plastic washer, dendrite-free lithium was deposited from glyme …

The morphology of interfaces is known to play a fundamental role in the efficiency of energy-
