Single-Atom Metallophilic Sites for Liquid NaK Alloy Confinement toward Stable Alkali-Metal Anodes.

Room temperature liquid NaK alloy is a promising candidate for high performance metal batteries, due to its dendrite-free property and high energy density. However, its practical application is hindered by the high surface tension of liquid NaK, which causes difficulties in maintaining a stable contact with a current collector. Here, the authors demonstrate the extraordinary stable confinement of NaK alloy at room temperature by constructing a super-wetting substrate, which is based on highly dispersed cobalt-single-atom carbon nanoarrays. The developed liquid anode electrode prevented successfully the leakage of NaK alloy even in harsh stress (>5 MPa) or sharp shock conditions. The symmetric cells achieved ultra-long reversible plating/stripping cycling life in both Na-ion (>1010 hrs) and K-ion electrolytes (>4000 hrs) at 10 mA cm-2 /10 mAh cm-2 . Upon fitting with Na3 V2 (PO4 )3 , the NaK assembled full battery provided high energy density (332.6 kWh kg-1 ) and power density (11.05 kW kg-1 ) with excellent stability after >21600 cycles, which is the best value reported so far. The prepared pouch cell was able to drive a four-axis aircraft, demonstrating a great prospect in practical application. This work offers a new approach in the preparation of advanced dendrite-free liquid metal anodes with promising applications in electrochemical energy storage.

Psychological Mobilization of Innovative Teaching Methods for Students' Basic Educational Curriculum Reform Under Deep Learning.

Educational innovation reform is used as the background. In response to the need to propose innovative educational programs, the concepts of Distributed Deep Neural Network (DDNN) and deep learning under edge computing are used as the basis. A teaching program for Science Technology Engineering Mathematics (STEM) is proposed. The average training method is used to verify the performance of the model. Sampling rate means the number of samples per second taken from a continuous signal to form a discrete signal. The accuracy and sample ratio obtained are higher than 95%. The communication volume is 309 bytes, which is in a good range. On this basis, a university uses STEM teaching plans and questionnaires to influence the psychological mobilization factors of students' deep learning effects. Challenging learning tasks and learning motivation have the greatest impact on deep learning, and conclusions that both are positive effects are obtained. Therefore, STEM innovative teaching programs can be widely used. The plan provides a reference theory for improving teaching innovation in the context of the basic educational curriculum reform in China. STEM curriculum is the dual subject of teachers and students, and the learning community includes multi-stakeholders. There are hierarchical relationships among the subjects. In terms of financial support, the first two funds come from the school. Learning communities have dedicated sponsorship partners complemented by clear financial planning. There is not much difference in course resources. Still, the learning community will provide more diversified media forms and special websites, and other auxiliary resources are open to all users. They can obtain first-hand resources without applying. In terms of project form, in addition to the core classroom teaching, the latter two can provide richer activities and realize the diversity of time, space, and information exchange.

Confinement of Zinc Salt in Ultrathin Heterogeneous Film to Stabilize Zinc Metal Anode.

Aqueous zinc metal batteries (AZMBs) have drawn great attention due to the high theoretical capacity, low redox potential, and abundance reserves. However, the practical application of rechargeable AZMBs are hindered by the poor reversibility of Zn metal anode, owing to easy dendrite growth and serious side reactions. Herein, the preparation of heterogeneous interfacial film with highly dispersed and confined zinc salt in a 2D channel by coassembling polyamide 6, zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate, and layered double hydroxides, which significantly suppresses the dendrite formation, H2 evolution reaction as well as O2 corrosion is reported. The as-developed Zn anodes exhibit a long cycling life up to 1450 h with low reversible deposition potential. Moreover, the assembled Zn||Mn battery delivers a high initial capacity of 321 mAh g-1 and a low capacity decay of ≈0.05% per cycle after 590 cycles, which is promising for high-performance AZMBs. A fluorescent film to realize the in situ observation of the Zn anode during cycling, which provides a new chance for visual observation of the working state of the Zn interface, is also assembled.
