volumetric capacity of 5855 mAh cm −3 ) of metallic Zn. [1] However, nonuniform Zn deposition aggravates formation of dendrites and leads to a low Coulombic efficiency (CE), resulting in battery performance deterioration. It is believed that regulated Zn 2+ distribution is beneficial to the uniform Zn plating. [1,2] Many works in the field of Zn anode realize uniform Zn 2+ distribution and improve Zn electrochemistry by constructing efficient Zn 2+ transport path. [1][2][3] However, we find that at deep cycling (high current densities and capacities), the interfacial turbulence is a severe problem that cannot be ignored to destroy the stability of Zn 2+ transport path. In details, the Zn 2+ ions flux distribution is affected by two factors: construction and stabilization of Zn 2+ transport path. Homogeneous Zn 2+ channels are helpful to realize uniform ion flux distribution; while Zn 2+ transport path would be destructed due to inevitable severe interfacial turbulence caused by fluidity of electrolyte and undesired H 2 evolution reaction (HER), which would lead to the disturbance of ion flux and uneven Zn deposition. In addition, the HER is usually accompanied by metal corrosion. [3] This not only consumes water in the electrolyte, but also the generated H 2 would result in swelling of the cell and even cell rupture. Meanwhile, the consumption of H + in water results in the accumulation of residual OH − ions, driving the corrosion reaction to form inactive Zn 4 SO 4 (OH) 6 •xH 2 O byproducts. [4,5] Moreover, the operation of ZMBs with high capacities is limited owing to the incomplete Zn discharging process because accumulated Zn leads to increased polarization of the battery; High current density can also cause an inhomogeneous electric field, incomplete metal stripping, and excessive polarization especially current and concentration polarization. [6,7] These issues can cause more serious interfacial instability and disturbance for deep-cycling batteries with high areal capacities and high current densities, significantly undermining the performance of ZMBs and plaguing their scale-up implementation. Aqueous deeply rechargeable Zn metal electrodes can only be achieved when the interfacial turbulence is rectified. Considering that free water molecules in electrolytes induce H 2 evolution and interfacial corrosion, highly concentrated The fluidity of aqueous electrolytes and undesired H 2 evolution reaction (HER) can cause severe interfacial turbulence in aqueous Zn metal batteries (ZMBs) at deep cycling with high capacities and current densities, which would further perturb ion flux and aggravate Zn dendrite growth. In this study, a colloid-polymer electrolyte (CPE) with special colloidal phase and suppressed HER is designed to diminish interfacial turbulence and boost deep Zn electrochemistry. Density functional theory calculations confirm that the quantitative migratory barriers of Zn 2+ along the transport pathway in CPE demonstrate much smaller fluctuations compared with normal aqueous electrolyte, indicating...

Zinc‐ion batteries (ZIBs) that use water‐based electrolytes have attracted significant attention. However, under harsh conditions, extreme heat is accumulated inside ZIBs, which inevitably causes thermal runway risk. Therefore, the practical applications of rechargeable ZIBs are significantly limited because the internal heat accumulated by harsh conditions induces drastic bulges or even explosions. To overcome this limitation, a self‐adaptive thermoregulatory hydrogel electrolyte (TRHE) that integrates phase transition chains with endothermic effects into agarose backbones via hydrogen bonding interactions is reported. Under extreme conditions, TRHE can tolerate sudden thermal shock; thus, ZIBs can function properly for a period in environments (100 °C) owing to their thermally self‐regulating feature, which alleviates the thermal issues associated with batteries. The hydrogel network with uniform ion migration channels can accelerate ion transport and homogenize ion distribution to realize dendrite inhibition; in addition, other pressing concerns can be effectively resolved, including hydrogen evolution and Zn corrosion, which significantly contribute to the outstanding electrochemical performance. It is believed that the proposed TRHE will help in overcoming thermal runaway in ZIBs and in other aqueous batteries.

Effective recycling of spent Li metal anodes is an urgent need for energy/resource conservation and environmental protection, making Li metal batteries more affordable and sustainable. For the first time, we explore a unique sustainable healable lithium alloy anode inspired by the intrinsic healing ability of liquid metal. This lithium alloy anode can transform back to the liquid state through Li-completed extraction, and then the structure degradation generated during operation could be healed. Therefore, an ultralong cycle life of more than 1300 times can be successfully realized under harsh conditions of 5 mA h cm–2 capacitance by a process of two healing behaviors. This design improves the sustainable utilization of Li metal to a great extent, bringing about unexpected effects in the field of lithium-based anodes even at an unprecedentedly high discharge current density (up to 25 mA cm–2) and capacity (up to 50 mA h cm–2).

Background The mosquito Aedes albopictus is an important vector for many pathogens. Understanding the virome in Ae. albopictus is critical for assessing the risk of disease transmission, implementation of vector control measures, and health system strengthening. Methods In this study, viral metagenomic and PCR methods were used to reveal the virome in adult Ae. albopictus captured in different areas and during different seasons in Guangzhou, China. Results The viral composition of adult Ae. albopictus varied mainly between seasons. Over 50 viral families were found, which were specific to vertebrates, invertebrates, plants, fungi, bacteria, and protozoa. In rural areas, Siphoviridae (6.5%) was the most common viral family harbored by mosquitoes captured during winter and spring, while Luteoviridae (1.1%) was the most common viral family harbored by mosquitoes captured during summer and autumn. Myoviridae (7.0% and 1.3%) was the most common viral family in mosquitoes captured in urban areas during all seasons. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) was detected by PCR in a female mosquito pool. The first near full-length HBV genome from Ae. albopictus was amplified, which showed a high level of similarity with human HBV genotype B sequences. Human parechovirus (HPeV) was detected in male and female mosquito pools, and the sequences were clustered with HPeV 1 and 3 sequences. Conclusions Large numbers of viral species were found in adult Ae. albopictus, including viruses from vertebrates, insects, and plants. The viral composition in Ae. albopictus mainly varied between seasons. Herein, we are the first to report the detection of HPeV and HBV in mosquitoes. This study not only provides valuable information for the control and prevention of mosquito-borne diseases, but it also demonstrates the feasibility of xenosurveillance. Graphical Abstract
