A colloidal aqueous electrolyte modulated by oleic acid for durable zinc metal anode

Kangning Zhao, Xu Zhang, Di Yang

Continuous dendrites growth, as well as corrosion and side reactions of Zn metal anode seriously hinder the development of aqueous zinc ion batteries. To address these issues, oleic acid (OA) is dispersed into a 2 M ZnSO4 solution to form a novel colloidal ...

Sequential Cascade Electrocatalytic Conversion of Carbon Dioxide to C-C Coupled Products

Sophia Haussener

Cascade catalytic processes perform multi-step chemical transformations without isolating the intermediates. Here, we demonstrate a sequential cascade pathway to convert CO2 to C2+ hydrocarbons and oxygenates in a two-step electrocatalytic process using CO ...
