High-energy nickel (Ni)-rich cathode will play a key role in advanced lithium (Li)-ion batteries, but it suffers from moisture sensitivity, side reactions, and gas generation. Single-crystalline Ni-rich has great potential to address the challenges present its polycrystalline counterpart by reducing phase boundaries materials surfaces. However, synthesis of high-performance single-crystalline is very challenging, notwithstanding fundamental linkage between overpotential, microstructure,...

Nanoscale metal inclusions in or on solid-state dielectrics are an integral part of modern electrocatalysis, optoelectronics, capacitors, metamaterials and memory devices.

Supported precious metals with atomic dispersion are of great interest in catalysis due to their potentials achieving maximum atom efficiency and unique reactivities. Herein, the active sites for low-temperature CO oxidation elucidated over single-atom Pd1/CeO2 catalysts prepared via high-temperature trapping (AT). The increased oxygen vacancies on CeO2 surface induced by 800 °C air calcination result decreased Pd–CeO2 coordinations, i.e., coordination-unsaturated Pd2+ CeO2. Light-off...
Abstract Earth-abundant cathode materials are urgently needed to enable scaling of the Li-ion industry multiply terawatt hours annual production, necessitating reconsideration how good can be obtained. Irreversible transition metal migration and phase transformations in cathodes typically believed detrimental because they may trigger voltage hysteresis, poor kinetics capacity degradation. Here we challenge this conventional consensus by reporting an unusual transformation from disordered Li-...
Abstract Oxides with a face-centred cubic (fcc) anion sublattice are generally not considered as solid-state electrolytes the structural framework is thought to be unfavourable for lithium (Li) superionic conduction. Here we demonstrate Li conductivity in fcc-type oxides which face-sharing configurations have been created through cation over-stoichiometry rocksalt-type lattices via excess Li. We find that create novel spinel unconventional stoichiometry and raise energy of Li, thereby...

Nanometer-thick reconstruction layers on layered cathode surfaces have been widely observed both pristine and cycled materials. However, the mechanisms of role that these structures play in electrochemical performance are not fully understood. From a crystallographic perspective, such surface result from cation site-mixing between Li transition-metal ions, but it remains far clear as to what critical factors control mixing for various chemistries. Here, we report observations transformations...
Abstract Cation‐disordered rocksalt (DRX) materials have emerged as a class of novel high‐capacity cathodes for Li‐ion batteries. However, the commercialization DRX will require reducing their capacity decay, which has been associated with oxygen loss during cycling. Recent studies show that fluorination can effectively reduce and improve cycling stability; however, underlying atomic‐scale mechanisms remain elusive. Herein, using combination electrochemical measurements, scanning...
Efficient and lightweight single-image super-resolution (SISR) has achieved remarkable performance in recent years. One effective approach is the use of large kernel designs, which have been shown to improve SISR models while reducing their computational requirements. However, current state-of-the-art (SOTA) still face problems such as high costs. To address these issues, we propose Large Kernel Distillation Network (LKDN) this paper. Our simplifies model structure introduces more efficient...
