  text: High entropy alloys (HEAs) are highly suitable candidate catalysts for oxygen
    evolution and reduction reactions (OER/ORR) as they offer numerous parameters
    for optimizing the electronic structure and catalytic sites. Herein, FeCoNiMoW
    HEA nanoparticles are synthesized using a solution‐based low‐temperature approach.
    Such FeCoNiMoW nanoparticles show high entropy properties, subtle lattice distortions,
    and modulated electronic structure, leading to superior OER performance with an
    overpotential of 233 mV at 10 mA cm<jats:sup>−2</jats:sup> and 276 mV at 100 mA cm<jats:sup>−2</jats:sup>.
    Density functional theory calculations reveal the electronic structures of the
    FeCoNiMoW active sites with an optimized d‐band center position that enables suitable
    adsorption of OOH* intermediates and reduces the Gibbs free energy barrier in
    the OER process. Aqueous zinc–air batteries (ZABs) based on this HEA demonstrate
    a high open circuit potential of 1.59 V, a peak power density of 116.9 mW cm<jats:sup>−2</jats:sup>,
    a specific capacity of 857 mAh g<jats:sub>Zn</jats:sub><jats:sup>−1</jats:sup><jats:sub>,</jats:sub>
    and excellent stability for over 660 h of continuous charge–discharge cycles.
    Flexible and solid ZABs are also assembled and tested, displaying excellent charge–discharge
    performance at different bending angles. This work shows the significance of 4d/5d
    metal‐modulated electronic structure and optimized adsorption ability to improve
    the performance of OER/ORR, ZABs, and beyond.

  text: Low‐cost, safe, and environmental‐friendly rechargeable aqueous zinc‐ion batteries
    (ZIBs) are promising as next‐generation energy storage devices for wearable electronics
    among other applications. However, sluggish ionic transport kinetics and the unstable
    electrode structure during ionic insertion/extraction hampers their deployment.
    Herein,  we propose a new cathode material based on a layered metal chalcogenide
    (LMC), bismuth telluride (Bi<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>Te<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>), coated
    with polypyrrole (PPy). Taking advantage of the PPy coating, the Bi<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>Te<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>@PPy
    composite presents strong ionic absorption affinity, high oxidation resistance,
    and high structural stability. The ZIBs based on Bi<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>Te<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>@PPy
    cathodes exhibit high capacities and ultra‐long lifespans of over 5000 cycles.
    They also present outstanding stability even under bending. In addition,  we analyze
    here the reaction mechanism using in situ X‐ray diffraction, X‐ray photoelectron
    spectroscopy, and computational tools and demonstrate that, in the aqueous system,
    Zn<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> is not inserted into the cathode as previously assumed.
    In contrast, proton charge storage dominates the process. Overall, this work not
    only shows the great potential of LMCs as ZIBs cathode materials and the advantages
    of PPy coating, but also clarifies the charge/discharge mechanism in rechargeable
    ZIBs based on LMCs.

  text: Lithium–sulfur batteries are regarded as an advantageous option for meeting
    the growing demand for high-energy-density storage, but their commercialization
    relies on solving the current limitations of both sulfur cathodes and lithium
    metal anodes. In this scenario, the implementation of lithium sulfide (Li2S) cathodes
    compatible with alternative anode materials such as silicon has the potential
    to alleviate the safety concerns associated with lithium metal. In this direction,
    here, we report a sulfur cathode based on Li2S nanocrystals grown on a catalytic
    host consisting of CoFeP nanoparticles supported on tubular carbon nitride. Nanosized
    Li2S is incorporated into the host by a scalable liquid infiltration–evaporation
    method. Theoretical calculations and experimental results demonstrate that the
    CoFeP–CN composite can boost the polysulfide adsorption/conversion reaction kinetics
    and strongly reduce the initial overpotential activation barrier by stretching
    the Li–S bonds of Li2S. Besides, the ultrasmall size of the Li2S particles in
    the Li2S–CoFeP–CN composite cathode facilitates the initial activation. Overall,
    the Li2S–CoFeP–CN electrodes exhibit a low activation barrier of 2.56 V, a high
    initial capacity of 991 mA h gLi2S–1, and outstanding cyclability with a small
    fading rate of 0.029% per cycle over 800 cycles. Moreover, Si/Li2S full cells
    are assembled using the nanostructured Li2S–CoFeP–CN cathode and a prelithiated
    anode based on graphite-supported silicon nanowires. These Si/Li2S cells demonstrate
    high initial discharge capacities above 900 mA h gLi2S–1 and good cyclability
    with a capacity fading rate of 0.28% per cycle over 150 cycles.

  text: There is a need for the development of lead-free thermoelectric materials
    for medium-/high-temperature applications. Here, we report a thiol-free tin telluride
    (SnTe) precursor that can be thermally decomposed to produce SnTe crystals with
    sizes ranging from tens to several hundreds of nanometers. We further engineer
    SnTe–Cu2SnTe3 nanocomposites with a homogeneous phase distribution by decomposing
    the liquid SnTe precursor containing a dispersion of Cu1.5Te colloidal nanoparticles.
    The presence of Cu within the SnTe and the segregated semimetallic Cu2SnTe3 phase
    effectively improves the electrical conductivity of SnTe while simultaneously
    reducing the lattice thermal conductivity without compromising the Seebeck coefficient.
    Overall, power factors up to 3.63 mW m–1 K–2 and thermoelectric figures of merit
    up to 1.04 are obtained at 823 K, which represent a 167% enhancement compared
    with pristine SnTe.

  text: High-entropy materials offer numerous advantages as catalysts, including a
    flexible composition to tune the catalytic activity and selectivity and a large
    variety of adsorption/reaction sites for multistep or multiple reactions. Herein,
    we report on the synthesis, properties, and electrocatalytic performance of an
    amorphous high-entropy boride based on abundant transition metals, CoFeNiMnZnB.
    This metal boride provides excellent performance toward the oxygen evolution reaction
    (OER), including a low overpotential of 261 mV at 10 mA cm–2, a reduced Tafel
    slope of 56.8 mV dec–1, and very high stability. The outstanding OER performance
    of CoFeNiMnZnB is attributed to the synergistic interactions between the different
    metals, the leaching of Zn ions, the generation of oxygen vacancies, and the in
    situ formation of an amorphous oxyhydroxide at the CoFeNiMnZnB surface during
    the OER.
