Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are perceived as a hopeful capacitive deionization (CDI) faradic electrode for Cl- insertion due to its tunable composition, excellent anion exchange capacity, and fast redox activity. Nevertheless, the self-stacking inferior electrical conductivity of two-dimensional structure LDH lead unsatisfactory CDI performance. Herein, three-dimensional (3D) hollow nanocage CoNi-layered hydroxide/carbon composites is well designed anode by cation etching pre-carbonized...
The metal-halide ionic octahedron is the optoelectronic unit for halide perovskites, and a crown ether–assisted supramolecular assembly approach can pack various octahedra into tunable symmetries. In this work, we demonstrate near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) blue green emission with of hafnium (Hf) zirconium (Zr) octahedral clusters. (18C6@K) 2 HfBr 6 powders showed PLQY (96.2%), was also achieved ZrCl 4 Br at 82.7%. These highly emissive feature facile low-temperature...
Abstract Silver (Ag) is deemed a promising anode material for capacitive deionization (CDI) due to its high theoretical capacity and efficient selectivity Cl − . However, the strong volume change during conversion reaction significantly undermines cycling performance of Ag electrode. Additionally, achieving well‐dispersed in active matrix challenging, as electrodes prepared by conventional thermal reduction tend agglomerate. Herein, organic linker confinement strategy proposed, applying...
Battery materials as emerging capacitive deionization electrodes for desalination have better salt removal capacities than traditional carbon-based materials. LiMn2O4, a widely used cathode material, is difficult to utilize electrode due its structural instability upon cycling and Mn dissolution in aqueous-based electrolytes. Herein, facile low-cost ball-milling routine was proposed prepare LiMn2O4 material with highly exposed (111) facets. The prepared exhibited relatively low of during...
There have been some studies on the microscopic properties of ester-functionalized ionic liquids (ILs), but their mixtures with co-solvents seldom reported. In practical applications, ILs are usually used together co-solvents. Therefore, it is very important to study microstructure and this work, hydrogen bonding interactions between IL 1-acetoxyethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (AOEMIMBF4) DMSO were studied using spectroscopic methods quantum chemical calculations....
Abstract Unavoidable minor electric vehicle collisions can cause defects and deformations in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The safety of such defective is crucial for ensuring the overall stability battery systems. However, usability a mechanisms underlying damage remain unclear. In this study, we focus on mechanical performance batteries, thresholds, associated failure mechanisms. Initially, two typical cells are prepared by quasi-static loading using different indenters. responses these...
Efficient and stable one-dimensional semiconductor nanowires are critical for the development of next-generation on-chip optoelectronics.

To enhance the functional properties of walnut protein isolate (WalPI), hydrophilic whey (WPI) was selected to formulate WalPI-WPI nanoparticles (nano-WalPI-WPI) via a pH cycling technique. These nano-WalPI-WPI particles were subsequently employed stabilize high internal phase Pickering emulsions (HIPEs). By adjusting mass ratio WalPI WPI from 9:1 1:1, resultant exhibited sizes ranging 70.98 124.57 nm, with polydispersity index less than 0.326. When 7:3, there significant enhancements in...
Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based synthetic hydrogels based on Michael-type addition reaction have been widely used for cell culture and tissue engineering. However, recent studies showed that these types of were not homogenous as expected since micro domains generated due to the fast kinetics. Here, we demonstrated a new kind method prepare poly(ethylene using side chain amine-contained short peptides. By introducing such peptides, homogeneity crosslinking mechanical property has also...
Spin coating is a common method for fabricating polymer thin films on flat substrates. The well-established Meyerhofer relationship between film thickness (h) and spin rate (ω), h ∝ ω-1/2, enables the preparation of with desired by adjusting other experimental parameters. 1/2 exponent has been verified previous studies involving organic prepared silicon wafers.
