Summary: In this study, a novel liquid-liquid-solid system is reported to regulate the selectivity of benzyl alcohol electrooxidation. The selectivity of benzaldehyde increases 200-fold from 0.4% to 80.4% compared with the liquid-solid system at a high current density of 136 mA cm(-2), which is the highest one up to date. In the tri-phase system, the benzaldehyde peroxidation is efficiently suppressed, with the conversion of benzaldehyde being decreased from 87.6% to 3.8%. The as-produced benzaldehyde can be in situ extracted to toluene phase and separated from the electrolyte to get purified benzaldehyde. This strategy provides an efficient way to enhance the selectivity of electrocatalytic cascade reactions.

Summary: This study proposes a metal oxide space-confined strategy to optimize the hierarchical structure of porous carbon cathodes, resulting in improved electrochemical performance of zinc-ion hybrid capacitors (ZIHC). By using low-cost aromatic hydrocarbons as precursors, 3D graphene-like porous carbon nanosheets (3DPC) doped with O and S heteroatoms are synthesized. The well-defined hierarchical porosity of 3DPC, coupled with rich O and S heteroatoms, enables effective ion transport and ion capture, leading to desirable capacity, rate capability, and cycling stability in aqueous ZIHC assemblies. Furthermore, the remarkable electrochemical performance of 3DPC is well-preserved in a quasi-solid-state ZIHC device under various harsh bent states, demonstrating its potential application in flexible and wearable energy storage.

Summary: Localized water-in-salt (LWIS) electrolytes are a promising candidate for high-voltage aqueous electrolytes with low viscosity and low salt content. The choice of an effective diluent is crucial for the properties of LWIS electrolytes. By identifying the donor number of solvents as a descriptor of solvent-salt interaction intensity, organic diluents that have minimal impact on the solvation microenvironment and intrinsic properties of the original high-salt electrolyte can be screened. This allows for the construction of a novel low-viscosity electrolyte with a low dosage of LiNO3 salt and well-preserved intrinsic Li+-NO3 (-)-H2O clusters, leading to improved performance in aqueous supercapacitors.
