The role of Ni and Co in suppressing O-loss in Li-rich layered cathodes by Boivin, E, Guerrini, N, House, R, Lozano, J, Jin, L, Rees, G, Somerville, J, Kuss, C, Roberts, M, Bruce, P

“…Understanding the factors that determine the degree of reversible O‐redox versus irreversible O‐loss is important if Li‐rich cathodes are to be exploited in next generation lithium‐ion batteries. Here it is shown that the almost complete eradication of O‐loss with Ni substitution is due to the presence of a less Li‐rich, more Ni‐rich (nearer stoichiometric) rocksalt shell at the surface of the particles compared with the bulk, which acts as a self‐protecting layer against O‐loss. …”

First cycle voltage hysteresis in Li-rich 3d cathodes associated with molecular O2 trapped in the bulk by House, RA, Rees, G, Perez-Osorio, M, Marie, J-J, Boivin, E, Robertson, A, Nag, A, Garcia-Fernandez, M, Zhou, K-J, Bruce, P

“…Li-rich cathode materials are potential candidates for next-generation Li-ion batteries. However, they exhibit a large voltage hysteresis on the first charge/discharge cycle, which involves a substantial (up to 1 V) loss of voltage and therefore energy density. …”

Viral content: a theory of vaccine hesitancy based on information encountering in the greater Manila area, Philippines by Sacramento, Simon Philip R., Sipin, Ian Dominic P.

“…Background: Ground experiences of the researchers indicate substantial concern about the side-effects of the AstraZeneca vaccine in some individuals who lined up to get vaccinated. The Philippine Department of Health, Food and Drug Administration temporarily suspended the administration of the AstraZeneca vaccine to persons below 60 years old on April 8, 2021, due to reports of “rare cases of blood clots with low platelets detected in some individuals inoculated with the vaccine.” …”
