Key Highlights
•
A new electrolyte additive called ACES creates a special protective layer on zinc battery anodes and changes how zinc ions are surrounded in the liquid, preventing unwanted chemical reactions and uneven metal growth. This breakthrough allows zinc batteries to cycle stably for over 760 hours at high power, a major step towards safer, longer-lasting grid-scale energy storage.

Researchers have found that using a modified version of urea (N-methylurea) in a special solvent can better control the formation of perovskite crystals, which are key materials for next-generation solar cells. This precise control leads to solar cell films with fewer defects and more uniform structure, which is crucial for making efficient and commercially viable perovskite photovoltaics.
