Cu-Li battery with Cu metal cathode and Li metal anode is a candidate for next-generation energy storage system. While self-discharge of the battery can be suppressed with an anion exchange membrane, the voltage polarization depends strongly on the electrolyte. Specifically, when an electrolyte wit...
When fracture occurs and generates new surface(s) a certain amount of energy is required. This energy is a combination of the energy required to breakatomic bondsalong the fracture path as well as energy dissipated in the region of high stress around the tip of a crack. Because of the latt...
according to Sean Kidney at the Cpmate Bonds Initiative,a thinktank.In Britain,just 1%of those assessed for the Creen Deal have signed up.In Berkeley,Capfornia,home of the first PACE scheme,the 11 rate is similarly low.Homeowners are 12 chiefly because the interest raLes on the loans look...
A charge distribution occurs when a static droplet of NaCl is placed on the graphene surface. As NaCl droplets move, the adsorbed ions in the front end of droplets push the pseudocapacitor along the graphene surface, which in turn attracts electrons; simultaneously, Na+ ions are adsorbed in ...
It is firmly attached to the surface of LATP pellets due to the volume expansion of SnO2 when in-situ reacting with Li metal, and thus effectively alle-viates the physical contact loosening during cycling, as confirmed by the mitigated impedance rising. Meanwhile, the as-formed SnO2/Sn/Lix...

MAX phases have layered hexagonal structures; the Mn+1Xn units and the A layers are stacked alternately. Since M-X bonds are substantially stronger than M-A bonds, it is possible to selectively chemically etch the A layers without damaging the M-X bonds, leaving behind weakly bonded Mn+1Xn...

The hydrogen bonds and nacre-mimetic synergistic toughening networks formed by ternary CNFs, Ti2C3 nanosheets, and PEG endow films with high mechanical strength (16.7 MPa) and strain (10.4%), which are 18.6 and 8.7 times higher than those of pure PEG film, respectively. The films exhibit ...
Unique nanofoams consisting of interweaved ultrathin graphene confining Zn-N-C dipoles (ZnNG) are constructed via calcination of Zn-coordinated precursor. Due to the introduction of local polar Zn-N-C configurations, with hypersensitivity for mechanical stress, the piezoelectricity is created on the ...
