Advanced energy storage devices: basic principles, analytical methods, and rational materials design by Liu, Jilei, Wang, Jin, Xu, Chaohe, Jiang, Hao, Li, Chunzhong, Zhang, Lili, Lin, Jianyi, Shen, Ze Xiang

“…The same material may display capacitive or battery‐like behavior depending on the electrode design and the charge storage guest ions. Therefore, the underlying mechanisms and the electrochemical processes occurring upon charge storage may be confusing for researchers who are new to the field as well as some of the chemists and material scientists already in the field. …”

Water molecules mute the dependence of the double-layer potential profile on ionic strength by Limaye, Aditya, Suvlu, Dylan, Willard, Adam P.

“…These influences include the molecular manifestation of water’s dielectric response, which tends to drown out the comparatively weak screening requirement of the ions. To support our analysis, we decompose water’s interfacial response into three primary contributions: molecular layering, intrinsic (zero-field) orientational polarization, and the dipolar dielectric response.…”

Synthesis of hierarchical 4H/fcc Ru nanotubes for highly efficient hydrogen evolution in alkaline media by Lu, Qipeng, Wang, An-Liang, Cheng, Hongfei, Gong, Yue, Yun, Qinbai, Yang, Nailiang, Li, Bing, Chen, Bo, Zhang, Qinghua, Zong, Yun, Gu, Lin, Zhang, Hua

“…Herein, hierarchical 4H/face-centered cubic (fcc) Ru nanotubes (NTs) are synthesized by a hard template-mediated method, in which 4H/fcc Au nanowires (NWs) serve as sacrificial templates which are then etched by copper ions (Cu2+ ) in dimethylformamide. The obtained hierarchical 4H/fcc Ru NTs contain ultrathin Ru shells (5-9 atomic layers) and tiny Ru nanorods with length of 4.2 ± 1.1 nm and diameter of 2.2 ± 0.5 nm vertically decorated on the surface of Ru shells. …”

Transformation by-product identification from oxidation processes of waters containing model organic micropollutants (Nonylphenol) by Toh, Jewell Zi Le

“…Nonylphenol accumulates in environmental matrices with high organic content, such as sewage sludge, river works, and sediments, and persists in soil and groundwater due to its physical-chemical features, such as poor solubility and high hydrophobicity, hence it should be removed through water disinfection before consumption. Halide ions like Bromide and Iodide are also increasing commonly in our water as seawater intrusion has become more severe. …”

Quantum tunneling of magnetization in ultrasmall half-metallic V3O4 quantum dots : displaying quantum superparamagnetic state by Xiao, Chong, Zhang, Jiajia, Xu, Jie, Tong, Wei, Cao, Boxiao, Li, Kun, Pan, Bicai, Su, Haibin, Xie, Yi

“…The quantum superparamagnetic state (QSP) as a high temperature signature of QTMs is observed at 16 K, which is beyond absolute zero temperature and much higher than that of conventional iron-based compounds due to the stronger spin-orbital coupling of V3+ ions bringing high anisotropy energy. It is undoubtedly that this ultrasmall quantum dots, V3O4, offers not only a promising candidate for theoretical understanding of QTMs but also a very exciting possibility for computers using mesoscopic magnets.…”
