15Abstract Hard carbon is the most promising anode material for sodium‐ion batteries and potassium‐ion batteries owing to its high stability, widespread availability, low‐cost, and excellent performance. Understanding the carrier‐ion storage mechanism is a prerequisite for developing high‐performance electrode materials; however, the underlying ion storage mechanism in hard carbon has been a topic of debate because of its complex structure. Herein, it is demonstrated that the Li + ‐, Na + ‐, and K
Considerable progress has been made in the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2), which is highly thermodynamically stable, into liquid hydrocarbons using metal oxide/zeolite composite catalysts. Nevertheless, producing liquid hydrocarbons with a single catalyst without utilizing additional C–C coupling agents remains a formidable challenge. Herein, we report a bifunctional iron aluminum oxide (FeAlOx) catalyst that directly converts CO2 into C5+ hydrocarbons with an overall selectivity of 77.0% an
