A common polar dye additive as corrosion inhibitor and leveling agent for stable aqueous zinc‐ion batteries by Hao Wang, Chao Hu, Zefang Yang, Tingqing Wu, Yihu Li, Qi Zhang, Yougen Tang, Haiyan Wang

“…Herein, a common polar dye, Procion Red MX‐5b, with high polarity and asymmetric charge distribution is introduced into the zinc sulfate electrolyte, which can not only reconstruct the solvation configuration of Zn2+ and strengthen hydrogen bonding to reduce the reactivity of free H2O but also homogenize interfacial electric field by its preferentially absorption on the zinc surface. The symmetric cell can cycle with a lower voltage hysteresis (78.4 mV) for 1120 times at 5 mA cm−2 and Zn//NaV3O8·1.5H2O full cell can be cycled over 1000 times with high capacity (average 170 mAh g−1) at 4 A g−1 in the compound electrolyte. …”

Single‐Crystalline Zn(002) Facet Enables Ultrastable Anode–Electrolyte Interface by Tao Shen, Tingting Wei, Shuxian Zhang, Heng Liu, Changyuan Li, Zhaoqian Li, Menghao Yang, Chaofeng Liu, Yanzhong Pei

“…Dendrite growth and detrimental parasitic side reactions at the anode–electrolyte interface severely restrain the reversibility and cyclability of aqueous zinc‐ion batteries. Due to the lowest surface energy in Zn metal with a hexagonal close‐packed structure, (002) facet can effectively alleviate these side effects. …”

Fully Developed Open Channel Flow Over Clusters of Freshwater Mussels Partially Buried in a Gravel Bed by T. Lazzarin, G. Constantinescu, H. Wu, D. P. Viero

“…It is found that strong interactions occur between energetic eddies generated by the larger gravels on the exposed bed surface and by the mussel shells. Simulations results show that for a burial depth close to 50% and a ratio between the average gravel size and the mussel protruding height of 0.13, the shell induced turbulence becomes dominant for mussel bed densities around 50 mussels/m2. …”
