Cathode material investigation towards high-performance aluminum batteries by Gong, Xuefei

“…Aluminum (Al) batteries, with merits of cost effectiveness, safe handle, high capacity and dendrite-free formation of Al anode and utilization of non-flammable ionic liquid electrolyte, has been considered as promising alternative to lithium ion batteries. However, Al batteries suffer from sluggish kinetics of ion intercalation/de-intercalation and inferior cycling performance. …”

The impact of protozoan predation on the pathogenicity of Vibrio cholerae by Espinoza-Vergara, Gustavo, Hoque, M. Mozammel, McDougald, Diane, Noorian, Parisa

“…Protozoa engulf bacteria and package them into phagosomes where the cells are exposed to low pH, antimicrobial peptides, reactive oxygen/nitrogen species, proteolytic enzymes, and low concentrations of essential metal ions such as iron. However, some bacteria can resist these digestive processes. …”

An ultrastable lithium metal anode enabled by designed metal fluoride spansules by Yuan, Huadong, Nai, Jianwei, Tian, He, Ju, Zhijin, Zhang, Wenkui, Liu, Yujing, Tao, Xinyong, Lou, David Xiong Wen

“…Here, we design “spansules” made of NaMg(Mn)F3@C core@shell microstructures as the matrix for the LMA, which can offer a long-lasting release of functional ions into the electrolyte. By the assistance of cryogenic transmission electron microscopy, we reveal that an in situ–formed metal layer and a unique LiF-involved bilayer structure on the Li/electrolyte interface would be beneficial for effectively suppressing the growth of lithium dendrites. …”

Electrochromic smart window for modulation of infrared heat by Loke, Jie Yi

“…The improved electrochromic performance is due the existence of Nd-Mo co-dopants that restrict the trapping of Li+ ions within the α-WO3 framework. This reduces the degree of crystallization of α-WO3 layer and improves the electronic conductivity by transferring excess electrons to the conduction band of the SnO2. …”

Development of an ultra-stretchable double-network hydrogel for flexible strain sensors by Li, Huijun, Zheng, Han, Tan, Yu Jun, Tor, Shu Beng, Zhou, Kun

“…A double-network (DN) hydrogel has been developed by combining an ionically crosslinked agar network, a covalently crosslinked acrylic acid (AAC) network, and a dynamic and reversible ionically crosslinked coordination between AAC chains and Fe3+ ions. A model has been proposed to reveal the mechanism of the improved mechanical properties in the DN agar/AAC–Fe3+ hydrogel. …”
