Abstract
Water desalination technologies play a key role in addressing the global water scarcity crisis and ensuring a sustainable supply of freshwater. In contrast to conventional capacitive deionization, which suffers from limitations such as low desalination capacity, carbon anode oxidation, and co-ion expulsion effects of carbon materials, the emerging faradaic electrochemical deionization (FDI) presents a promising avenue for enhancing water desalination performance. These electrode materials employed faradaic charge-transfer processes for ion removal, achieving higher desalination capacity and energy-efficient desalination for high salinity streams. The past decade has witnessed a surge in the advancement of faradaic electrode materials and considerable efforts have been made to explore optimization strategies for improving their desalination performance. This review summarizes the recent progress on the optimization strategies and underlying mechanisms of faradaic electrode materials in pursuit of high-efficiency water desalination, including phase, doping and vacancy engineering, nanocarbon incorporation, heterostructures construction, interlayer spacing engineering, and morphology engineering. The key points of each strategy in design principle, modification method, structural analysis, and optimization mechanism of faradaic materials are discussed in detail. Finally, this work highlights the remaining challenges of faradaic electrode materials and present perspectives for future research.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024:e2404583. [PMID: 39077979 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202404583] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2024] [Revised: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/31/2024]
Abstract
In recent years, there have been extensive debates regarding the charging mechanism of MnO2 cathodes in aqueous Zn electrolytes. The discussion centered on several key aspects including the identity of the charge carriers contributing to the overall capacity, the nature of the electrochemical process, and the role of the zinc hydroxy films that are reversibly formed during the charging/discharging. Intense studies are also devoted to understanding the effect of the Mn2+ additive on the performance of the cathodes. Nevertheless, it seems that a consistent explanation of the α-MnO2 charging mechanism is still lacking. To address this, a step-by-step analysis of the MnO2 cathodes is conducted. Valuable information is obtained by using in situ electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (EQCM-D) monitoring, supplemented by solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) in Characterization of Materials, and pH measurements. The findings indicate that the charging mechanism is dominated by the insertion of H3O+ ions, while no evidence of Zn2+ intercalation is found. The role of the Mn2+ additive in promoting the generation of protons by forming MnOOH, enhancing the stability of Zn/α-MnO2 batteries is thoroughly investigated. This work provides a comprehensive overview on the electrochemical and the chemical reactions associated with the α-MnO2 electrodes, and will pave the way for further development of aqueous cathodes for Zn-ion batteries.

Abstract
Advancements in operando techniques have unraveled the complexities of the Electrode Electrolyte Interface (EEI) in electrochemical energy storage devices. However, each technique has inherent limitations, often necessitating adjustments to experimental conditions, which may compromise accuracy. To address this challenge, a novel battery cell design is introduced, integrating piezoelectric sensors with electrochemical analysis for surface-sensitive operando measurements. This innovative approach aims to overcome conventional limitations by accommodating commercial-grade battery electrodes within a single body, alongside a piezoelectric sensor. This enables operando electrogravimetric measurements to be realized, and the electrochemistry of a battery to be more faithfully reproduced at the sensor level. A proof of concept is carried out on both Li-ion (LiFePO4//Graphite) and Na-ion (Na3V2(PO4)2F3//Hard carbon) systems, utilizing commercially available powder electrodes. In both cases, the results reveal rational mass variations at the sensor level during the cycling of commercial electrodes with mass loadings several orders of magnitude higher, while performing Galvanostatic Charge Discharge (GCD) tests across various C-rates. This innovative design opens up possibilities for a broader application of operando electrogravimetry within the battery community, to enhance the understanding of EEI behavior and facilitate the development of more efficient energy storage solutions.

Abstract
Aqueous lithium-ion batteries (ALIBs) are promising for large-scale energy storage systems because of the cost-effective, intrinsically safe, and environmentally friendly properties of aqueous electrolytes. Practical application is however impeded by interfacial side-reactions and the narrow electrochemical stability window (ESW) of aqueous electrolytes. Even though higher electrolyte salt concentrations (e.g., water-in-salt electrolyte) enhance performance by widening the ESW, the nature and extent of side-reaction processes are debated and more fundamental understanding thereof is needed. Herein, the interfacial chemistry of one of the most popular electrode materials, V2O5, for aqueous batteries is systematically explored by a unique set of operando analytical techniques. By monitoring electrode/electrolyte interphase deposition, electrolyte pH, and gas evolution, the highly dynamic formation/dissolution of V2O5/V2O4, Li2CO3 and LiF during dis-/charge is demonstrated and shown to be coupled with electrolyte decomposition and conductive carbon oxidation, regardless of electrolyte salt concentration. The study provides deeper understanding of interfacial chemistry of active materials under variable proton activity in aqueous electrolytes, hence guiding the design of more effective electrode/electrolyte interfaces for ALIBs and beyond.

Abstract
The efficiency of electrolysis is reduced due to the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Besides catalyst properties, electrocatalytic activity also depends on the interaction of the electrocatalyst with the electrolyte. Here, we show that the addition of small amounts of Li+ to Fe-free NaOH or KOH electrolytes activates NiFeOOH for the OER compared to single-cation electrolytes. Moreover, the activation was maintained when the solution was returned to pure NaOH. Importantly, we show that the origin of activation by Li+ cations is primarily non-kinetic in nature, as the OER onset for the mixed electrolyte does not change and the Tafel slope at low current density is ~30 mV/dec in both electrolytes. However, the increase of the apparent Tafel slope remains lower at increasing current densities in the presence of Li+. Based on electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance and in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements, we show that this reduction of non-kinetic effects is due to enhanced intercalation of sodium, water and hydroxide. This enhanced electrolyte penetration facilitates the OER, especially at higher current densities and for increased catalyst loading. Our work shows that mixed electrolytes where distinct cations can have different roles provide a simple and promising strategy towards improved OER rates.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries could provide future energy storage systems with high energy density. One remaining challenge is the development of electrolytes compatible with the negative Mg electrode, enabling uniform plating and stripping with high Coulombic efficiencies. Often improvements are hindered by a lack of fundamental understanding of processes occurring during cycling, as well as the existence and structure of a formed interphase layer at the electrode/electrolyte interface. Here, a magnesium model electrolyte based on magnesium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (Mg(TFSI)2 ) and MgCl2 with a borohydride as additive, dissolved in dimethoxyethane (DME), was used to investigate the initial galvanostatic plating and stripping cycles operando using electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (EQCM-D). We show that side reactions lead to the formation of an interphase of irreversibly deposited Mg during the initial cycles. EQCM-D based hydrodynamic spectroscopy reveals the growth of a porous layer during Mg stripping. After the first cycles, the interphase layer is in a dynamic equilibrium between the formation of the layer and its dissolution, resulting in a stable thickness upon further cycling. This study provides operando information of the interphase formation, its changes during cycling and the dynamic behavior, helping to rationally develop future electrolytes and electrode/electrolyte interfaces and interphases.

Abstract
Organic active materials are seen as next-generation battery materials that could circumvent the sustainability and cost limitations connected with the current Li-ion battery technology while at the same time enabling novel battery functionalities like a bioderived feedstock, biodegradability, and mechanical flexibility. Many promising research results have recently been published. However, the reproducibility and comparison of the literature results are somehow limited due to highly variable electrode formulations and electrochemical testing conditions. In this Perspective, we provide a critical view of the organic cathode active materials and suggest future guidelines for electrochemical characterization, capacity evaluation, and mechanistic investigation to facilitate reproducibility and benchmarking of literature results, leading to the accelerated development of organic electrode active materials for practical applications.

Abstract
MXenes have been extensively explored as supercapacitor electrodes, especially in acidic aqueous electrolytes, where ultrahigh specific capacitance can be achieved; however, their narrow working potential window (≤ 1.0 V) limits the acquisition of high energy. Neutral and alkaline electrolytes can be used to extend the working potential window but MXenes in these electrolytes are less pseudocapacitive active, which leads to reduced charge storage. In this study, it is shown that Ti3 C2 Tx MXene in a mild AlCl3 aqueous electrolyte can operate at a wide potential range from 0 to -1.3 V versus Hg/Hg2 SO4 and retain high pseudocapacitive activity. Thus, a high capacity of up to 85 mAh g-1 is achieved, surpassing its performance in H2 SO4 electrolyte of 78 mAh g-1 . More interestingly, most of the capacity is released at a more negative potential range than that in acidic electrolytes, making it more suitable as a negative electrode material. In situ electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance results suggest that the high capacity originates from the pseudocapacitive intercalation/deintercalation of H+ instead of Al3+ , providing the possibility of coupling MXene anodes with proton redox active cathodes to achieve high-energy and high-power devices.

Abstract
Sensing the mechanical properties of the substrates or the matrix by the cells and the tissues, the subsequent downstream responses at the cellular, nuclear and epigenetic levels and the outcomes are beginning to get unraveled more recently. There have been various instances where researchers have established the underlying connection between the cellular mechanosignalling pathways and cellular physiology, cellular differentiation, and also tissue pathology. It has been now accepted that mechanosignalling, alone or in combination with classical pathways, could play a significant role in fate determination, development, and organization of cells and tissues. Furthermore, as mechanobiology is gaining traction, so do the various techniques to ponder and gain insights into the still unraveled pathways. This review would briefly discuss some of the interesting works wherein it has been shown that specific alteration of the mechanical properties of the substrates would lead to fate determination of stem cells into various differentiated cells such as osteoblasts, adipocytes, tenocytes, cardiomyocytes, and neurons, and how these properties are being utilized for the development of organoids. This review would also cover various techniques that have been developed and employed to explore the effects of mechanosignalling, including imaging of mechanosensing proteins, atomic force microscopy (AFM), quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation measurements (QCMD), traction force microscopy (TFM), microdevice arrays, Spatio-temporal image analysis, optical tweezer force measurements, mechanoscanning ion conductance microscopy (mSICM), acoustofluidic interferometric device (AID) and so forth. This review would provide insights to the researchers who work on exploiting various mechanical properties of substrates to control the cellular and tissue functions for tissue engineering and regenerative applications, and also will shed light on the advancements of various techniques that could be utilized to unravel the unknown in the field of cellular mechanobiology.

Abstract
The inevitable volume expansion of secondary battery anodes during cycling imposes forces on the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). The battery performance is closely related to the capability of SEI to maintain intact under the cyclic loading conditions, which basically boils down to the mechanical properties of SEI. The volatile and complex nature of SEI as well as its nanoscale thickness and environmental sensitivity make the interpretation of its mechanical behavior many roadblocks. Widely varied approaches are adopted to investigate the mechanical properties of SEI, and diverse opinions are generated. The lack of consensus at both technical and theoretical levels has hindered the development of effective design strategies to maximize the mechanical stability of SEIs. Here, the essential and desirable mechanical properties of SEI, the available mechanical characterization methods, and important issues meriting attention for higher test accuracy are outlined. Previous attempts to optimize battery performance by tuning SEI mechanical properties are also scrutinized, inconsistencies in these efforts are elucidated, and the underlying causes are explored. Finally, a set of research protocols is proposed to accelerate the achievement of superior battery cycling performance by improving the mechanical stability of SEI.

Abstract
The optimal performance of organic electrodes for aqueous batteries requires their full compatibility with selected electrolyte solutions. Electrode materials having 1-3-dimensional structures of variable rigidity possess a confined space in their structure filled with water and electrolyte solutions. Depending on the rigidity and confined space geometry, insertion and extraction of ions into electrode structures are often coupled with incorporation/withdrawal of water molecules. Aside from the scientific interest in understanding the charging mechanism of such systems, co-insertion of solvent molecules affects strongly the charge storage capability of the electrodes for energy storage devices. We present herein in situ electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (EQCM-D) investigations of polyaniline (PANI) electrodes operating in various aqueous Na+-containing electrolytes, namely, Na2SO4, NaClO4, NaBF4, and NaPF6. Careful analysis of the EQCM-D results provides a dynamic snapshot of the mixed anionic/protonic fluxes and the accompanying water molecules' insertion/extraction to/from the PANI electrodes. Based on our observations, it was found that the charging mechanism, as well as the capacity values, strictly depends on the electrolyte pH, the chaotropic/kosmotropic character of the anionic dopants, and the amount of the extracted water molecules. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of analysis by EQCM-D in selecting electrolytes for batteries comprising organic electrodes.

Abstract
Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) conveniently monitors mass and mechanical property changes of thin films on solid substrates with exquisite resolution. QCM-D is frequently used to measure dissolved solute/sol adsorption isotherms and kinetics. Unfortunately, currently available methodologies to interpret QCM-D data treat the adlayer as a homogeneous medium, which does not adequately describe solution-adsorption physics. Tethering of the adsorbate to the solid surface is not explicitly recognized, and the liquid solvent is included in the adsorbate mass, which is especially in error for low coverages. Consequently, the areal mass of adsorbate (i.e., solute adsorption) is overestimated. Further, friction is not considered between the bound adsorbate and the free solvent flowing in the adlayer. To overcome these deficiencies, we develop a two-phase (2P) continuum model that self-consistently determines adsorbate and liquid-solvent contributions and includes friction between the attached adsorbate and flowing liquid solvent. We then compare the proposed 2P model to those of Sauerbrey for a rigid adlayer and Voinova et al. for a viscoelastic-liquid adlayer. Effects of 2P-adlayer properties are examined on QCM-D-measured frequency and dissipation shifts, including adsorbate volume fraction and elasticity, adlayer thickness, and overtone number, thereby guiding data interpretation. We demonstrate that distinguishing between adsorbate adsorption and homogeneous-film adsorption is critical; failing to do so leads to incorrect adlayer mass and physical properties.

Abstract
Chemomechanics is an old subject, yet its importance has been revived in rechargeable batteries where the mechanical energy and damage associated with redox reactions can significantly affect both the thermodynamics and rates of key electrochemical processes. Thanks to the push for clean energy and advances in characterization capabilities, significant research efforts in the last two decades have brought about a leap forward in understanding the intricate chemomechanical interactions regulating battery performance. Going forward, it is necessary to consolidate scattered ideas in the literature into a structured framework for future efforts across multidisciplinary fields. This review sets out to distill and structure what the authors consider to be significant recent developments on the study of chemomechanics of rechargeable batteries in a concise and accessible format to the audiences of different backgrounds in electrochemistry, materials, and mechanics. Importantly, we review the significance of chemomechanics in the context of battery performance, as well as its mechanistic understanding by combining electrochemical, materials, and mechanical perspectives. We discuss the coupling between the elements of electrochemistry and mechanics, key experimental and modeling tools from the small to large scales, and design considerations. Lastly, we provide our perspective on ongoing challenges and opportunities ranging from quantifying mechanical degradation in batteries to manufacturing battery materials and developing cyclic protocols to improve the mechanical resilience.

Abstract
The reliable, high-sensitive, wireless, and affordable requirements for humidity sensors are needed in high-precision measurement fields. Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) based on the piezoelectric effect can accurately detect the mass changes at the nanogram level. However, water-capture materials deposited on the surface of QCM generally show disadvantages in either cost, sensitivity, or recyclability. Herein, novel QCM-based humidity sensors (NQHSs) are developed by uniformly depositing green microspheres (GMs) of natural polymers prepared by the chemical synthesis of the emulsification/inner gel method on QCM as humidity-sensitive materials. The NQHSs demonstrate high accuracy and sensitivity (27.1 Hz/% RH) owing to the various hydrophilic groups and porous nano-3D deposition structure. Compared with the devices deposited with a smooth film, the frequency of the NQHSs shows almost no changes during the cyclic test and exhibits long-term stability. The NQHSs have been successfully applied to non-contact sensing human activities and remote real-time humidity monitoring via Bluetooth transmission. In addition, the deposited humidity-sensitive GMs and QCM substrate are fully recycled and reused (72% of the original value). This work has provided an innovative idea to construct environmental-friendly, high-sensitivity, and wireless humidity sensors.

Abstract
Electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) and AC-electrogravimetry methods were employed to study ion dynamics in carbon nanotube base electrodes in NaCl aqueous electrolyte. Two types of carbon nanotubes, Double Wall Carbon Nanotube (DWCNT) and Multi Wall Carbon Nanotube (MWCNT), were chosen due to their variable morphology of pores and structure properties. The effect of pore morphology/structure on the capacitive charge storage mechanisms demonstrated that DWCNT base electrodes are the best candidates for energy storage applications in terms of current variation and specific surface area. Furthermore, the mass change obtained via EQCM showed that DWCNT films is 1.5 times greater than MWCNT films in the same potential range. In this way, the permselectivity of DWCNT films showed cation exchange preference at cathode potentials while MWCNT films showed anion exchange preference at anode potentials. The relative concentration obtained from AC-electrogravimetry confirm that DWCNT base electrodes are the best candidates for charge storage capacity electrodes, since they can accommodate higher concentration of charged species than MWCNT base electrodes.

Abstract
Rechargeable batteries employing aqueous electrolytes are more reliable and cost-effective as well as possess high ionic conductivity compared to the flammable organic electrolyte solutions. Among these types of batteries, aqueous batteries with multivalent ions attract more attention in terms of providing high energy density. Herein, electrochemical behavior of an organic electrode based on a highly aromatic polymer containing 2,3-diaminophenazine repeating unit, namely poly(ortho-phenylenediamine) (PoPD), is tested in two different multivalent ions (Zn2+ and Al3+) containing aqueous electrolytes, that is, in zinc sulfate and aluminum chloride solutions. PoPD is synthesized via electropolymerization, and its ion transport and storage mechanism are comprehensively investigated by structural and electrochemical analyses. The electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance, time-dependent Fourier transform infrared, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analyses as well as ex situ X-ray diffraction observations established that along with the Zn2+ or Al3+ ions, reversible proton insertion/extraction also takes place. Contrary to the most of the organic electrodes that requires the use of conductive carbon additives, the electrodeposited PoPD electrode is intrinsically electrically conductive enough, resulting in a binder and additive free electrode assembly. In addition, its discharge products do not dissolve in aqueous medium. As a whole, the resulting PoPD electrode delivers excellent rate performances with prolonged cycle life in which discharge capacities of ∼110 mAh g-1 in 0.25 M AlCl3 and ∼93 mAh g-1 in 1 M ZnSO4 aqueous electrolyte after 1000 cycles at a current density of 5C have been achieved.

Abstract
The biomolecular contents of extracellular vesicles, such as exosomes, have been shown to be crucial in intercellular communication and disease propagation. As a result, there has been a recent surge in the exploration of novel biosensing platforms that can sensitively and specifically detect exosomal content such as proteins and nucleic acids, with a view toward application in diagnostic assays. Here, we demonstrate dual-mode and label-free detection of plasma exosomes using an electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (EQCM-D). The platform adopts a direct immunosensing approach to effectively capture exosomes via their surface protein expression of CD63. By combining QCM-D with a tandem in situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurement, we are able to demonstrate relationships between mass, viscoelasticity and impedance inducing properties of each functional layer and analyte. In addition to lowering the limit of detection (by a factor of 2-4) to 6.71 × 107 exosome-sized particles (ESP) per mL in 25% v/v serum, the synergy between dissipation and impedance response introduces improved sensing specificity by offering further distinction between soft and rigid analytes, thereby promoting EQCM-D as an important technique for exosome analysis.

Abstract
The electrochemical Ni deposition at a platinum electrode was investigated in a plating nickel bath in the presence and absence of ethylene glycol (EG) using fluorescence yield soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (FY-XAS) in the Ni L2,3-edge and O K-edge regions under potential control. At ≤+0.35 V vs. the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), the electrochemical Ni deposition was detected by the Ni L2,3-edge FY-XAS in the presence of EG whereas almost no such event was observed in the absence of EG. A drastic decrease of FY-XAS intensities in the O K-edge region was also observed in the presence of EG at >+0.35 V vs. RHE, suggesting that the nano-/micro-structured Ni deposition initiated by the removal of water molecules occurs on the Pt electrode. The complex formation of Ni2+ with EG and the adsorption of EG on the Ni surface could play an important role in the Ni deposition. This study demonstrates that the in situ FY-XAS is a powerful and surface-sensitive technique to understand (electro)chemical reactions including polyol synthesis and electrocatalysis at solid–liquid interfaces.

Abstract
AbstractLithiated gold wires can be used to build reference electrodes with outstanding potential stabilities over several days and even over the course of one year. These electrodes are well suited for investigations in the context of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In this work, a detailed procedure for the preparation of such electrodes with tailored mechanical properties, which can be fitted gastight into electrochemical cells using commercially available fittings, is given. The electrochemical lithiation process is studied using the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) technique, and the differences in lithiation of wire type and thin film type gold electrodes are discussed. All experiments were carried out with two different electrolytes, namely, a LiPF6 and a lithium bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl) imide (LiTFSI)-based electrolyte, and we conclude that for a higher lithiation rate and long-term stability, the use of LiTFSI-based electrolyte in the preparation phase is beneficial. The EQCM data provides a better insight in the analysis of film formation processes, like the buildup of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) during the lithiation, the rate of deposition of metallic lithium, or additional information on the kinetics of Li-Au alloy formation.

Abstract
Understanding the bulk and interfacial behaviors during the operation of batteries (e.g., Li-ion, Na-ion, Li-O2 batteries, etc.) is of great significance for the continuing improvement of the performance. Electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) is a powerful tool to this end, as it enables in situ investigation into various phenomena, including ion insertion/deinsertion within electrodes, solid nucleation from the electrolyte, interphasial formation/evolution and solid-liquid coordination. As such, EQCM analysis helps to decipher the underlying mechanisms both in the bulk and at the interface. This tutorial review will present the recent progress in mechanistic studies of batteries achieved by the EQCM technology. The fundamentals and unique capability of EQCM are first discussed and compared with other techniques, and then the combination of EQCM with other in situ techniques is also covered. In addition, the recent studies utilizing EQCM technologies in revealing phenomena and mechanisms of various batteries are reviewed. Perspectives regarding the future application of EQCM in battery studies are given at the end.

Abstract
A stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer is key to high performing lithium ion and lithium metal batteries for metrics such as calendar and cycle life. The SEI must be mechanically robust to withstand large volumetric changes in anode materials such as lithium and silicon, so understanding the mechanical properties and behavior of the SEI is essential for the rational design of artificial SEI and anode form factors. The mechanical properties and mechanical failure of the SEI are challenging to study, because the SEI is thin at only ~10-200 nm thick and is air sensitive. Furthermore, the SEI changes as a function of electrode material, electrolyte and additives, temperature, potential, and formation protocols. A variety ofin situandex situtechniques have been used to study the mechanics of the SEI on a variety of lithium ion battery anode candidates; however, there has not been a succinct review of the findings thus far. Because of the difficulty of isolating the true SEI and its mechanical properties, there have been a limited number of studies that can fully de-convolute the SEI from the anode it forms on. A review of past research will be helpful for culminating current knowledge and helping to inspire new innovations to better quantify and understand the mechanical behavior of the SEI. This review will summarize the different experimental and theoretical techniques used to study the mechanics of SEI on common lithium battery anodes and their strengths and weaknesses.

Abstract
Controlling and tuning surface properties of a catalyst have always been a prime challenge for efficient hydrogen production via water splitting. Here, we report a facile method for tuning both charger transfer and sorption-desorption properties of NiFe layered double hydroxide (LDH) by intercalating a conductive polymer of polypyrrole (ppy) via an interlayer confined polymerization synthesis (ICPS) process. Ex situ characterizations and in situ electrochemical quartz-crystal microbalance with dissipation (EQCM-D) tracking experiments showed that the intercalated ppy not only improved the charge transfer property of the resulting hybrid catalyst LDH-ppy but also made it more flexible and adaptive for quick and reversible sorption-desorption of reactants and intermediates during the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) process. Consequently, the as-prepared LDH-ppy exhibited a doubled catalytic current density over the bare LDH, as visualized by in situ scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) at the subnanometer scale. This work sheds light on orchestrating the charge and sorbate transfer abilities of catalysts for efficient water splitting by smartly combining inorganic and organic layers.

Abstract
Despite the continuous progress in the research and development of Ti3C2Tx (MXene) electrodes for high-power batteries and supercapacitor applications, the role of the anions in the electrochemical energy storage and their ability to intercalate between the MXene sheets upon application of positive voltage have not been clarified. A decade after the discovery of MXenes, the information about the possibility of anion insertion into the restacked MXene electrode is still being questioned. Since the positive potential stability range in diluted aqueous electrolytes is severely limited by anodic oxidation of the Ti, the possibility of anion insertion was evaluated in concentrated aqueous electrolyte solutions and aprotic electrolytes as well. To address this issue, we have conducted in situ gravimetric electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (EQCM-D) measurements in highly concentrated LiCl and LiBr electrolytes, which enable a significant extension of the operation range of the MXene electrodes toward positive potentials. Also, halogens are among the smallest anions and should be easier to intercalate between MXene layers, in comparison to multiatomic anions. On the basis of mass change variations in the positive voltage range and complementary density functional theory calculations, it was demonstrated that insertion of anionic species into MXene, within the range of potentials of interest for capacitive energy storage, is not likely to occur. This can be explained by the strong negative charge on Ti3C2Tx sheets terminated by functional groups.

Abstract
A study of the interaction between cell membranes and small molecules derived from lignin, a protective phenolic biopolymer found in vascular plants, is crucial for identifying their potential as pharmacological and toxicological agents. In this work, the interactions of model cell membranes [supported 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) lipid bilayers] are compared for three βO4 dimers of coniferyl alcohol (G lignin monomer): guaiacylglycerol guaiacol ester with a hydroxypropenyl (HOC3H4-) tail (G-βO4'-G), a truncated GG dimer without HOC3H4- (G-βO4'-truncG), and a benzylated GG dimer (benzG-βO4'-G). The uptake of the lignin dimers (per mass of lipid) and the energy dissipation (a measure of bilayer disorder) are higher for benzG-βO4'-G and G-βO4'-truncG than those for G-βO4'-G in the gel-phase DPPC bilayer, as measured using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D). A similar uptake of G-βO4'-truncG is observed for a fluid-phase bilayer of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, suggesting that the effect of the bilayer phase on dimer uptake is minimal. The effects of increasing lignin dimer concentration are examined through an analysis of density profiles, potential of mean force curves, lipid order parameters, and bilayer area compressibilities (disorder) in the lipid bilayers obtained from molecular dynamics simulations. Dimer distributions and potentials of mean force indicate that the penetration into bilayers is higher for benzG-βO4'-G and G-βO4'-truncG than that for G-βO4'-G, consistent with the QCM-D results. Increased lipid tail disorder due to dimer penetration leads to a thinning and softening of the bilayers. Minor differences in the structure of lignin derivatives (such as truncating the hydroxypropenyl tail) have significant impacts on their ability to penetrate lipid bilayers.

Abstract
Electrolyte composition is a crucial factor determining the capacitive properties of a supercapacitor device. However, its complex influence on the energy storage mechanisms has not yet been fully elucidated. For this purpose, in this study, the role of three different types of electrolytes based on a propylene carbonate (PC) solution containing tetrabutylammonium perchlorate (TBAClO4), lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) and butyltrimethylammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (N1114TFSI) ionic liquid on vertically-oriented graphene nanosheet electrodes has been investigated. Herein, in situ electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) and its coupling with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), known as ac-electrogravimetry, have allowed the dynamic aspects of the (co)electroadsorption processes at the electrode-electrolyte interface to be examined. A major contribution of ClO4− anions (TBAClO4) was evidenced, whereas in the PC/N1114TFSI mixture (50:50 wt%) both anions (TFSI−) and cations (N1114+) were symmetrically exchanged during cycling. In the particular case of LiClO4, solvation of Li+ cations in PC was involved, affecting the kinetics of electroadsorption. These results demonstrate the suitability of dynamic electrogravimetric methods to unveil the interfacial exchange properties of mobile species for the conception of new high performance energy storage devices.

Electrochemical capacitors can store electrical energy harvested from intermittent sources and deliver energy quickly, but their energy density must be increased if they are to efficiently power flexible and wearable electronics, as well as larger equipment. This Review summarizes progress in the field of materials for electrochemical capacitors over the past decade as well as outlines key perspectives for future research. We describe electrical double-layer capacitors based on high-surface-area carbons, pseudocapacitive materials such as oxides and the two-dimensional inorganic compounds known as MXenes, and emerging microdevices for the Internet of Things. We show that new nanostructured electrode materials and matching electrolytes are required to maximize the amount of energy and speed of delivery, and different manufacturing methods will be needed to meet the requirements of the future generation of electronic devices. Scientifically justified metrics for testing, comparison and optimization of various kinds of electrochemical capacitors are provided and explained.

Abstract
Numerous sophisticated diagnostic techniques have been designed to monitor electrode-electrolyte interfaces that mainly govern the lifetime and reliability of batteries. Among them is the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) that offers valuable insights of the interfaces once the required conditions of the deposited film in terms of viscoelastic and hydrodynamic properties are fulfilled. Herein, we propose a friendly protocol that includes the elaboration of a homogeneous deposit by spray coating followed by QCM measurements at multiharmonic frequencies to ensure the film flatness and rigidity for collecting meaningful data. Moreover, for easiness of the measurements, we report the design of a versatile and airtight EQCM cell setup that can be used either with aqueous or non-aqueous electrolytes. We also present, using a model battery material, LiFePO4, how dual frequency and motional resistance monitoring during electrochemical cycling can be used as a well-suitable indicator for achieving reliable and reproducible electrogravimetric measurements. We demonstrate through this study the essential role of the solvent assisting lithium-ion insertion at the LiFePO4 interface with a major outcome of solvent-dependent interfacial behavior. Namely, in aqueous media, we prove a near-surface desolvation of lithium ions from their water solvation shell as compared with organic molecules. This spatial dissimilarity leads to a smoother Li-ion transport across the LFP-H2O interface, hence accounting for the difference in rate capability of LFP in the respective electrolytes. Overall, we hope our analytical insights on interfacial mechanisms will help in gaining a wider acceptance of EQCM-based methods from the battery community.

Abstract
The potential to impart surfaces with specific lignin-like properties (i.e. resistance to microbes) remains relatively unexplored due to the lack of well-defined lignin-derived small molecules and corresponding surface functionalization strategies. Here, allyl-modified guaiacyl β-O-4 eugenol (G-eug) lignin-derived dimer is synthesized and attached to mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) via click chemistry. The ability of G-eug lignin-dimer functionalized particles to interact with and disrupt synthetic lipid bilayers is compared to that of eugenol, a known natural antimicrobial. Spherical MSNPs (∼150 nm diameter with 4.5 nm pores) were synthesized using surfactant templating. Post-synthesis thiol (SH) attachment was performed using (3-mercaptopropyl) trimethoxysilane and quantified by Ellman's test. The resultant SH-MSNPs were conjugated with the G-eug dimers or eugenol by a thiol-ene reaction under ultraviolet light in the presence of a photo initiator. From thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), attachment densities of approximately 0.22 mmol eugenol/g particle and 0.13 mmol G-eug dimer/g particle were achieved. The interaction of the functionalized MSNPs with a phospholipid bilayers of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (representing model cell membranes) supported on gold surface was measured using Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation monitoring (QCM-D). Eugenol-grafted MSNPs in PBS (up to 1 mg/mL) associated with the bilayer and increased the mass adsorbed on the QCM-D sensor. In contrast, MSNPs functionalized with G-eug dimer show qualitatively different behavior, with more uptake and evidence of bilayer disruption at and above a particle concentration of 0.5 mg/mL. These results suggest that bio-inspired materials with conjugated lignin-derived small molecules can serve as a platform for novel antimicrobial coatings and therapeutic carriers.

Abstract
Aim: Few targeted therapies are available for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients. Here, we propose a novel alkaline-lignin-conjugated-poly(lactic- co-glycolic acid) (L-PLGA) nanoparticle drug delivery system to improve the efficacy of targeted therapies. Materials & methods: L-PLGA nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with the MEK1/2 inhibitor GDC-0623 were characterized, tested in vitro on MDA-MB-231 TNBC cell line and compared with loaded PLGA NPs. Results: Loaded L-PLGA NPs were less than half the size of PLGA NPs, had slower drug release and improved the efficacy of GDC-0623 when tested in vitro. We demonstrated that GDC-0623 reversed epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in TNBC. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that L-PLGA NPs are superior to PLGA NPs in delivering GDC-0623 to cancer cells for improved efficacy in vitro.

Abstract
Semi-solid fluid electrode-based battery (SSFB) and supercapacitor technologies are seen as very promising candidates for grid energy storage. However, unlike for traditional batteries, their performance can quickly get compromised by the formation of a poorly conducting solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) on the particle surfaces. In this work we examine SEI film formation in relation to typical electrochemical conditions by combining cyclic voltammetry (CV) with quartz crystal microbalance dissipation monitoring (QCM-D). Sputtered layers of typical SSFB materials like titanium dioxide (TiO2) and carbon, immersed in alkyl carbonate solvents, are cycled to potentials of relevance to both traditional and flow systems. Mass changes due to lithium intercalation and SEI formation are distinguished by measuring the electrochemical current simultaneously with the damped mechanical oscillation. Both the TiO2 and amorphous carbon layers show a significant irreversible mass increase on continued exposure to (even mildly) reducing electrochemical conditions. Studying the small changes within individual charge-discharge cycles, TiO2 shows mass oscillations, indicating a partial reversibility due to lithium intercalation (not found for carbon). Viscoelastic signatures in the megahertz frequency regime confirm the formation and growth of a soft layer, again with oscillations for TiO2 but not for carbon. All these observations are consistent with irreversible SEI formation for both materials and reversible Li intercalation for TiO2. Our results highlight the need for careful choices of the materials chemistry and a sensitive electrochemical screening for fluid electrode systems.

Abstract
Recently, because of sustainability issues dictated by societal demands, more importance has been given to aqueous systems and especially to proton-based batteries. However, the mechanisms behind the processes leading to energy storage in such systems are still not elucidated. Under this scope, our study is structured on the selection of a model electrode material, the protonic phase HxIrO4, and the scrutiny of the interfacial processes through suitable analytical tools. Herein, we employed operando electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) combined with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to provide new insights into the mechanism intervening at the electrode-electrolyte interface. First, we demonstrated that not only the surface or near surface but the whole particle participates in the cationic redox process. Second, we proved that the contribution of the proton on the overall potential window together with the incorporation of water at low potentials solely. This is explained by the fact that water molecules permit a further insertion of protons in the material by shielding the proton charge but at the expense of the proton kinetic properties. These findings shed a new light on the importance of water molecules in the ion-insertion mechanisms taking place at the electrode-electrolyte interface of aqueous proton-based batteries. Overall, the present results further highlight the richness of the EQCM-based methods for the battery field in offering mechanistic insights that are crucial for the understanding of interfaces and charge storage in insertion compounds.

Abstract
Nanoporous layers are widely spread in nature and among artificial devices. However, complex characterization of extensively nanoporous thin films showing porosity-dependent softening lacks consistency and reliability when using different analytical techniques. We introduce herein, a facile and precise method of such complex characterization by multi-harmonic QCM-D (Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation Monitoring) measurements performed both in the air and liquids (Au-Zn alloy was used as a typical example). The porosity values determined by QCM-D in air and different liquids are entirely consistent with that obtained from parallel RBS (Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy) and GISAXS (Grazing-Incidence Small-Angle Scattering) characterizations. This ensures precise quantification of the nanolayer porosity simultaneously with tracking their viscoelastic properties in liquids, significantly increasing sensitivity of the viscoelastic detection (viscoelastic contrast principle). Our approach is in high demand for quantifying potential-induced changes in nanoporous layers of complex architectures fabricated for various electrocatalytic energy storage and analytical devices. Thin porous layers are largely used, but a reliable method to quantify their porosity is missing. Here the authors demonstrate a method, based on quartz crystal microbalance measurements with dissipation monitoring, for accurate assessment of porosity and mechanical properties in thin porous films.

Abstract
Most commercial lithium-ion batteries and other types of batteries rely on liquid electrolytes, which are preferred because of their high ionic conductivity, and facilitate fast charge-transfer kinetics at the electrodes. On the other hand, hybrid battery concepts that combine solid and liquid electrolytes might be needed to suppress unwanted shuttle effects in liquid electrolyte-only systems, in particular if mobile redox systems are involved in the cell chemistry. However, at the then newly introduced interface between liquid and solid electrolytes, a solid-liquid electrolyte interphase forms. In this study, we analyze the formation of such an interphase between the solid electrolyte lithium phosphorous oxide nitride (Li xPO yN z, "LiPON") and various liquid electrolytes using in situ neutron reflectometry, quartz crystal microbalance, and atomic force microscopy measurements. Our results show that the interphase consists of two layers: a nonconducting layer directly in contact with "LiPON" and a lithium-rich outer layer. Initially, a fast growth of the solid-liquid electrolyte interphase is observed, which slows down significantly afterward, resulting in a thickness of about 20 nm eventually. Here, a formation mechanism is proposed, which describes the solid-liquid electrolyte interphase growth as the fast deposition of a film, which mostly covers the "LiPON", with only a little degree of remaining porosity. The residual void space is then slowly filled, thus blocking the remaining channels for ionic conduction, which leads to increasing resistance of the interphase. The results obtained imply that hybrid battery concepts with liquid electrolyte and solid electrolyte can be hampered by highly resistive interphases, whose formation cannot be simply slowed down or suppressed. Further research is required regarding possible countermeasures.

Abstract
Electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) with damping monitoring is applied for real-time analysis of solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation in diphenyl octyl phosphate (DPOP) and vinylene carbonate (VC) modified electrolytes. Fast SEI formation is observed for the DPOP containing electrolyte, whereas slow growth is detected in VC-modified and reference electrolytes. QCM measurements in a dry state show considerable reduction of the mass quantity for DPOP and reference samples and minor mass decrease for the SEI layer formed in the presence of VC. The results indicate that VC enhances SEI stability, whereas the addition of DPOP or no additive results in incorporation of loosely attached species, leadubg to SEI instability. Resonance frequency damping, Δw, and dissipation factor, D, are used for analyzing mechanical properties of the SEI layers. The apparent increase of Δw and D during SEI formation in presence of DPOP suggests a pronounced viscoelasticity of the layer. QCM results are compared with surface morphology and chemical composition, revealing excellent agreement of the applied characterization approaches.

Abstract
Aqueous electrolytes can be used for electrical double-layer capacitors, pseudocapacitors, and intercalation-type batteries. These technologies may employ different electrode materials, most importantly high-surface-area nanoporous carbon, two-dimensional materials, and metal oxides. All of these materials also find more and more applications in electrochemical desalination devices. During the electrochemical operation of such electrode materials, charge storage and ion immobilization are accomplished by non-Faradaic ion electrosorption, Faradaic ion intercalation at specific crystallographic sites, or ion insertion between layers of two-dimensional materials. These processes may or may not be associated with a (partial) loss of the aqueous solvation shell around the ions. Our work showcases the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance as an excellent tool for quantifying the change in effective solvation. We chose sodium as an important cation for energy storage materials (sodium-based aqueous electrolytes) and electrochemical desalination (saline media). Our data show that a major amount of water uptake occurs during ion electrosorption in nanoporous carbon, while battery-like ion insertion between layers of titanium disulfide is associated with an 80% loss of the initially present solvation molecules. Sodiation of MXene is accomplished by a loss of 90% of the number of solvent molecules, but nanoconfined water in-between the MXene layers may compensate for this large degree of desolvation. In the case of sodium manganese oxide, we were able to demonstrate the full loss of the solvation shell.

Abstract
Layer-by-layer (LbL) fabricated oxidative multilayers consisting of successive layers of inorganic polyphosphate (PP) and Ce(IV) can electrolessly form thin conducting polymer films on their surface. We describe the effect of substituting every second PP layer in the (PP/Ce) multilayers for graphene oxide (GO) as a means of modifying the structure and mechanical properties of these (GO/Ce/PP/Ce) films and enhancing their growth. Both types of LbL films are based on reversible coordinative bonding between the metal ions and the oxygen-bearing groups in PP and GO, instead of purely electrostatic interactions. The GO incorporation leads to the doubling of the areal mass density and to a dry film thickness close to 300 nm after 4 (GO/Ce/PP/Ce) tetralayers. The film roughness increases significantly with thickness. The (PP/Ce) films are soft materials with approximately equal shear storage and loss moduli, but the incorporation of GO doubles the storage modulus. PP displays a marked terminating layer effect and practically eliminates mechanical losses, making the (GO/Ce/PP/Ce) films almost pure soft elastomers. The smoothness of the (PP/Ce) films and the PP-termination effects are attributed to the reversible coordinative bonding. The (GO/Ce/PP/Ce) films oxidize pyrrole and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) and form polypyrrole and PEDOT films on their surfaces. These polymer films are considerably thicker than those formed using the (PP/Ce) multilayers with the same nominal amount of cerium layers. The GO sheets interfere with the polymerization reaction and make its kinetics biphasic. The (GO/Ce) multilayers without PP are brittle and thin.

Abstract
Ongoing technological advances in diverse fields including portable electronics, transportation, and green energy are often hindered by the insufficient capability of energy-storage devices. By taking advantage of two different electrode materials, asymmetric supercapacitors can extend their operating voltage window beyond the thermodynamic decomposition voltage of electrolytes while enabling a solution to the energy storage limitations of symmetric supercapacitors. This review provides comprehensive knowledge to this field. We first look at the essential energy-storage mechanisms and performance evaluation criteria for asymmetric supercapacitors to understand the wide-ranging research conducted in this area. Then we move to the recent progress made for the design and fabrication of electrode materials and the overall structure of asymmetric supercapacitors in different categories. We also highlight several key scientific challenges and present our perspectives on enhancing the electrochemical performance of future asymmetric supercapacitors.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) Ti3C2 MXene has attracted great attention in electrochemical energy storage devices (supercapacitors and lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries) due to its excellent electrical conductivity as well as high volumetric capacity. Nevertheless, a previous study showed that multivalent Mg2+ ions cannot reversibly insert into MXene, resulting in a negligible capacity. Here, we demonstrate a simple strategy to achieve high magnesium storage capability for Ti3C2 MXene by preintercalating a cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). Density functional theory simulations verify that intercalated CTA+ cations reduce the diffusion barrier of Mg2+ on the MXene surface, resulting in the significant improvement of the reversible insertion/deinsertion of Mg2+ ions between MXene layers. Consequently, the MXene electrode exhibits a desirable volumetric specific capacity of 300 mAh cm-3 at 50 mA g-1 as well as outstanding rate performance. This work endows MXene material with an application in electrochemical energy storage and, simultaneously, introduces magnesium battery materials as a member.
