The Urban Infrastructure of Care: Planning for Equitable Social Reproduction by Binet, Andrew, Houston-Read, Rebecca, Gavin, Vedette, Baty, Carl, Abreu, Dina, Genty, Josée, Tulloch, Andrea, Reid, Azan, Arcaya, Mariana

“…We offer an empirically grounded framework for making matters of care visible and valued in planning via an infrastructural approach that treats the urban environment as a social and material technology that makes care possible. We recommend strategies for integrating care as an outcome of concern into planning decisions and practices and for making coordinated investments in urban infrastructures of care that seek to more equitably distribute resources for and burdens of care in cities.…”

Dendrites-free lithium metal anode enabled by synergistic surface structural engineering by Di, Jie, Yang, Jin-Lin, Tian, Han, Ren, Pengfei, Deng, Yirui, Tang, Wenhao, Yan, Wenqi, Liu, Ruiping, Ma, Jianmin

“…However, the catastrophic dendrites growth, “dead Li” formation, and surface passivation hinder its practical application. Herein, a selective artificial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer (Li2Sx, x = 1, 2) protection strategy is adopted, where the tip sites passivation and the uniform Li nucleation in grooves are well combined, which enables reversible Li stripping/plating with high storage capacity and robust electrode framework. …”
