Abstract All‐solid‐state lithium batteries (ASSBs) have the potential to trigger a battery revolution for electric vehicles due their advantages in safety and energy density. Screening of various possible solid electrolytes ASSBs has revealed that garnet are promising high ionic conductivity superior (electro)chemical stabilities. However, major challenge is poor contact with Li‐metal anodes, resulting an extremely large interfacial impedance severe Li dendrite propagation. Herein,...

We demonstrate a facile and effective way for the fabrication of flexible, homogeneous neat α-MoO3 thin-film electrode lithium-ion batteries with high performance without using any binder conductive additives. Single-crystalline nanobelts uniform width around 200 nm length at micrometer level are first synthesized by simple water-based hydrothermal route. The as-obtained slurry is then directly deposited onto copper foil current collector doctor blade method. formation film its good adhesion...

It is believed that a TiN coating can increase the electrical conductivity, and consequently performance, of an electrode. In this work, simple one-step synthesis nitrogen- TiN-modified Li4Ti5O12, i.e. solid-state reaction Li2CO3 TiO2 anatase in ammonia-containing atmosphere, introduced. The reducing ammonia atmosphere could cause partial reduction Ti4+ to Ti3+ doping nitrogen into Li4Ti5O12 lattice, addition formation phase. By controlling concentration using slight Ti excess reactants,...

Abstract Accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in periodontitis exacerbates the destruction alveolar bone. Therefore, scavenging ROS to reshape periodontal microenvironment, alleviate inflammatory response and promote endogenous stem cell osteogenic differentiation may be an effective strategy for treating bone resorption periodontitis. In this study, sericin‐hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (Se‐nHA NPs) are synthesized using a biomimetic mineralization method. Se‐nHA NPs...

Abstract Bacterial infections can significantly impede wound healing and pose a serious threat to the patient’s life. The excessive use of antibiotics combat bacterial has led emergence multi-drug-resistant bacteria. Therefore, there is pressing need for alternative approaches, such as photothermal therapy (PTT), address this issue. In study, first time, CuS NPs with properties were synthesized using sericin biological template, named CuS@Ser NPs. This method simple, green, does not produce...

The potential application of PrBaCo(2)O(5+delta) (PBC) double perovskite oxide as a cathode for proton-conducting solid-oxide fuel cell based on BaZr(0.1)Ce(0.7)Y(0.2)O(3-delta) (BZCY) electrolyte was systematically investigated. XRD and O(2)-TPD results demonstrated that cation exchange between BZCY PBC perovskites simultaneously occurs from the formation Co(3+)-doped Y(3+)-doped PBC. This event does not significantly change cathodic polarization resistance. Under real conditions, neither...
