Construction of a stable lithium sulfide membrane to greatly confine polysulfides for high performance lithium – sulfur batteries by Wu, Chao, Guo, Chunxian, Wu, JingGao, Ai, Wei, Yu, Ting, Li, Chang Ming

“…The membrane offers unique and selective channels which allow only ions/small sulfides to pass through and confine polysulfide transport, restricting the shuttle effect, and thus providing a large capacity of 685 mA h g−1 at 1C and a long-lasting cycling stability (0.03% capacity decay per cycle). …”

Few-layer NiPS3 nanosheets as bifunctional materials for Li-ion storage and oxygen evolution reaction by Dangol, Raksha, Dai, Zhengfei, Chaturvedi, Apoorva, Zheng, Yun, Zhang, Yu, Dinh, Khang Ngoc, Li, Bing, Zong, Yun, Yan, Qingyu

“…As for the OER, the exfoliated few-layer NiPS3 nanosheets have demonstrated excellent electrocatalytic performance, such as a low overpotential of 301 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm−2, a small Tafel slope of 43 mV dec−1, and an outstanding long-term durability. This work is expected to make a contribution to develop next generation high-performance electrochemically active materials for catalysts and batteries.…”

Territorial movements of African lions: can waterholes shape multiple central-place territories in a savanna ecosystem? by Dejeante, R, Loveridge, A, Macdonald, D, Madlamoto, D, Chamaille-James, S, Valeix, M

“…These findings illustrate a case where territorial animals specifically mark feeding sites, increasing the renewal of territorial cues at these key places, potentially using long-distance territorial cues (i.e., vocalizations) to mark uncovered areas, and thereby reducing the cost of patrolling large territories. …”

The inference-boundary model reinterpreting theme and rheme by Leong, Ping Alvin

“…The Hallidayan notions of theme and rheme pose an interesting challenge to linguists in their attempts to pin them down more specifically. This paper argues that since the thematic structure of the clause organises it as a message, a useful starting point in theme–rheme research is an understanding of how clausal messages are typically processed by language users. …”

Experimental and numerical study of self-locking adaptable inter connection for modular steel structures by Nadeem, Gohar, Safiee, Nor Azizi, Bakar, Nabilah Abu, Karim, Izian Abd, Mohd Nasir, Noor Azline

“…The findings indicated that the gap produced between connection and column under higher displacement was sensitive to the outer bolt and spring pin. This gap could be further reduced by increasing the number of outer bolts and by reducing tolerance between adapter and column walls.…”
