Polymer composites with electrically conductive fillers have been developed as mechanically flexible, easily processable electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials. Although there are a few elastomeric nanostructured silvers and carbon nanotubes showing moderate stretchability, their EMI effectiveness (SE) deteriorates consistently stretching. Here, highly stretchable polymer composite embedded three-dimensional (3D) liquid-metal (LM) network exhibiting substantial increases of...
Electrochemically driven functioning of a battery inevitably induces thermal and mechanical effects, which in turn couple with the electrochemical effect collectively govern performance battery. However, such coupling effect, whether favorable or detrimental, has never been explicitly elucidated. Here we use situ transmission electron microscopy to demonstrate effect. We discover that thermally perturbating delithiated LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2 will trigger explosive nucleation propagation...
Abstract High-theoretical capacity and low working potential make silicon ideal anode for lithium ion batteries. However, the large volume change of upon lithiation/delithiation poses a critical challenge stable battery operations. Here, we introduce an unprecedented design, which takes advantage deformation ensures structural stability material by developing two-dimensional nanosheet coated with thin carbon layer. During electrochemical cycling, this exhibits unique patterns, featuring...
Abstract Polymer dielectrics are ubiquitous in advanced electric energy storage systems. However, the relatively low operating temperature significantly menaces their widespread application at high temperatures, such as for hybrid vehicles and aerospace power electronics. Spider silk, a natural nanocomposite comprised of biopolymer chains crystal protein nanosheets combined by multiple interfacial interactions, exhibits excellent mechanical properties even elevated temperatures. Inspired...
Lithium (Li) penetration through solid electrolytes (SEs) induces short circuits in Li solid‐state batteries (SSBs), which is a critical issue that hinders the development of high energy density SSBs. While cracking ceramic SEs has been often shown to accompany penetration, interplay between deposition and remains elusive. Here, we constructed mesoscale SSB inside focused ion beam‐scanning electron microscope (FIB‐SEM) for situ observation deposition‐induced at nanometer resolution. Our...
Phosphorus represents a promising anode material for sodium ion batteries owing to its extremely high theoretical capacity. Recent in situ transmission electron microscopy studies evidenced anisotropic swelling sodiated black phosphorus, which may find an origin from the two intrinsic properties inherent layered structure of phosphorus: diffusional directionality and insertion strain anisotropy. To understand morphological evolution stress generation we develop chemo-mechanical model by...
Abstract Current stretchable conductors, often composed of elastomeric composites infused with rigid conductive fillers, suffer from limited stretchability and durability, declined conductivity stretching. These limitations hinder their potential applications as essential components such interconnects, sensors, actuators in electronics soft machines. In this context, an innovative composite that incorporates a 3D network liquid metal (LM), offering exceptional stretchability, conductivity,...
Abstract Covalent modification of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) is an efficient way to improve the interfacial interaction and compatibility between MWCNTs matrix. In this article, MWNCTs were covalently modified by 4,4′‐difluorobenzophenone (DB) allow temperature‐tolerant functional groups on walls. These surface‐functionalized (MWCNTs‐DB) then attached poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) resins in situ grafting polymerization, prepare high‐strength PEEK nanocomposites. The addition 1...
Gap closure to eliminate physical discontinuities and restore tissue integrity is a fundamental process in normal development repair of damaged tissues organs. Here, we demonstrate nonadhesive gap model which collective cell migration, large-scale actin-network fusion, purse-string contraction orchestrate the gap. Proliferative pressure drives migrating cells attach onto front at pluricellular actin ring already assembled. An actin-ring segment switching then occurs by fusion fibers from...

In order to control the synthesis Fe-based composite nanoparticles, main components precursors optimally designed. The components, morphologies, structures and various phase composition as-obtained further investigated x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, diffraction spectroscopy energy dispersive...
Hybrid core-shell catalysts possess superior physiochemical properties that are closely related to their atomic structures. Here, we report novel diffusion phenomena in an Au-Ni2P yolk-shell structure using situ heating transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. The Au yolks can dissolve completely into and diffuse across the Ni2P shell at 500 °C, resulting inward volume expansion of shrinkage void. dissolved is subsequently segregated, forming a new crystal on outer layer shell. A...
