Angewandte Chemie International Edition · 2021-09-15 · 695 citations
articleAbstract NiFe‐layered double hydroxides (NiFe‐LDH) are among the most active catalysts developed to date for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline media, though their long‐term OER stability remains unsatisfactory. Herein, we reveal that the stability degradation of NiFe‐LDH catalysts during alkaline OER results from a decreased number of active sites and undesirable phase segregation to form NiOOH and FeOOH, with metal dissolution underpinning both of these deactivation mechanisms. Fu…
Dielectric polymers for high-temperature capacitive energy storage
Chemical Society Reviews · 2021 · 637 citations
Senior authorCorrespondingPolymers are the preferred materials for dielectrics in high-energy-density capacitors. The electrification of transport and growing demand for advanced electronics require polymer dielectrics capable of operating efficiently at high temperatures. In this review, we critically analyze the most recent development in the dielectric polymers for high-temperature capacitive energy storage applications. While general design considerations are discussed, emphasis is placed on the elucidation of the st…

Polymer composites with electrically conductive fillers have been developed as mechanically flexible, easily processable electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials. Although there are a few elastomeric composites with nanostructured silvers and carbon nanotubes showing moderate stretchability, their EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) deteriorates consistently with stretching. Here, a highly stretchable polymer composite embedded with a three-dimensional (3D) liquid-metal (LM) network e…
Advanced Energy Materials · 2021 · 284 citations
Senior authorCorrespondingAbstract High‐energy‐density polymer dielectrics capable of high temperature operation are highly demanded in advanced electronics and power systems. Here, the polyetherimide (PEI) composites filled with the core–shell structured nanoparticles composed of ZrO 2 core and Al 2 O 3 shell are described. The establishment of a gradient of the dielectric constants from ZrO 2 core and Al 2 O 3 shell to PEI matrix gives rise to much less distortion of the electric field around the nanoparticles, and con…
