AbstractParing seawater electrolyte with zinc metal electrode has emerged as one of the most sustainable alternative solutions for offshore stationary energy storages owing to the intrinsic safety, extremely low cost, and unlimited water source. However, it remains a substantial challenge to stabilize zinc metal negative electrode in seawater electrolyte, given the presence of chloride ions and complex cations in seawater.

The general answer is yes, because the existence of linear relationships between the parameters of a system lowers its degrees of freedom. In (electro)catalysis, this means that the maximal activity may not be reachable because the linear constraints impede it. However, crucial caveats are to be made. Knowingly or unknowingly overlooking those caveats may be as bad as the actual problems entailed by the existence of scaling relations.

Waste heat energy amounts to roughly 70% of the used energy in transportation and industrial operations.1 Traditional approaches for converting waste heat into reusable energy are usually done by Rankine steam engines.

As a model system with strongly correlated electrons, perovskite transition-metal oxides (TMOs) have attracted great interest due to their abundant properties, such as high-TC superconductivity, colossal magnetoresistance, ferroelectricity, and multiferroicity.1–6 In particular, the properties of perovskite oxides can be feasibly tailored via interfacial engineering in artificial heterostructures or superlattices (SLs), generating interfacial phases with distinct functionalities.7–13 Due to...
