Lithium (Li) metal is considered as the “Holy Grail” among various anodes due to its high theoretical specific capacity and low electrochemical potential. However, the Li anode undergoes uncontrollable dendrite growth and infinite volume expansion during cycling, seriously impeding the commercialization of high-energy-density Li metal batteries (LMBs). Considering the Li deposition is a dynamic electrochemical

The generally lower thermoelectric figure of merit (zT < 0.1) of eco-friendly BiSe semiconductors constrains the waste energy conversion efficiency in the resulting devices compared to relatively toxic BiTe. We strategically introduce an aluminium (Al) dopant to create resonance states near the Fermi level and obtain Al–BiSe nanoparticulate semiconductors with enhanced zT. As an electron feeder, these
