Unraveling the compatibility of ether-based solvents with Li-metal anodes under O2 atmosphere
Science China PressProfessor Jiang Chunhai (Xiamen University of Technology) and Professor Qiao Yu (Xiamen University) studied the compatibility of typical G2, G3, and G4 ether solvents with Li-metal anode under harsh O2 environment from the perspectives of Li/Li symmetric batteries and Li-O2 batteries. The experimental results indicate that G2 solvent helps enhance the cycling stability of Li/Li symmetric batteries, while G4 solvent is more conducive to promoting the reaction reversibility of Li-O2 batteries.

Recent progress in morphological control of zeolites from organic templates
Science China PressOne of the major topics in the field of zeolite synthesis is to control zeolite morphology with increased external surface areas, aiming to minimize mass transfer limitations and thus maximize access to micropores. Currently, it has been successfully synthesized zeolites with various morphologies. Herein, researchers briefly reviewed recent progress for morphological control of zeolite crystals from organic templates including typically industrial zeolites.
