Abstract High energy density lithium metal batteries (LMBs) are promising next‐generation storage devices. However, the uncontrollable dendrite growth and huge volume change limit their practical applications. Here, a new Mg doped Li–LiB alloy with in situ formed lithiophilic 3D LiB skeleton (hereinafter called Li–B–Mg composite) is presented to suppress Li mitigate change. The exhibits superior conductive characteristics, which contributes reduction of local current homogenization incoming...

Chemiluminescence is a powerful analytical technique with many advantages, while aptamers are well-known as good molecular recognition units. However, aptamer-based chemiluminescence assays employed interface sensing, which often needed several immobilization, separation, and washing steps. To minimize the risks of contamination false-positive, we for first time proposed photocatalytic aptamer chemiluminescent system homogeneous, label-free, generic assay small molecules. After binding to...

In both experiment and molecular simulation, it is found that a higher pressure required to sustain the infiltration of smaller ions in molecular-sized nanochannel. Simulations indicate effective ion solubility infiltrated liquid reduced nearly zero. Because strong interactions between couples solid or phases, an external force continuously advance confined segment. The competition probability entry ion-couple formation causes observed ion-size-dependent characteristics.

Polymers under nanoconfinement can exhibit large alterations in dynamics from their bulk values due to an interface effect. However, understanding the effect remains a challenge, especially ultrafine region. In this work, we prepare new geometries with ∼10nm through controlled distributions of crystalline phases and amorphous model semi-crystalline polymer, i.e., polylactic acid. The broadband dielectric spectroscopy measurements show that leads elevation glass transition temperature strong...

In pure water a hydrothermally treated zeolite Y is hydrophilic, while with the addition of an electrolyte it can no longer be soaked up spontaneously. The effective degree hydrophobicity increases ion concentration, which reflected by increase in infiltration pressure. pressure-induced behavior not only determined cations, but also highly dependent on anion species. This phenomenon attributed to confinement effect nanopore walls.

Event detection (ED) and word sense disambiguation (WSD) are two similar tasks in that they both involve identifying the classes (i.e. event types or senses) of some a given sentence. It is thus possible to extract knowledge hidden data for WSD, utilize it improve performance on ED. In this work, we propose method transfer learned WSD ED by matching neural representations tasks. Our experiments widely used datasets demonstrate effectiveness proposed method.

The liquid nanofoam (LN), a system composed of and hydrophobic nanoporous particles, is promising energy absorbing material. Despite its excellent capabilities under quasi-static conditions, the LN’s performance limited dynamic impacts due to heterogeneity. We hypothesize that absorption capacity LN can be increased by reconfiguration material into marble form. To test this hypothesis, we have prepared sample in two different configurations, one with heterogeneous layered structure other...
