Abstract Vanadium oxides are known for their multioxidation states and diverse crystalline structures. Owing to excellent interactions with molecules or ions, outstanding catalytic activities, and/or strong electron–electron correlations, nanostructured vanadium have been extensively studied energy conversion in the recent years. Here is a review of advances development applications. The synthesis strategies structural properties various oxide nanostructures, including dioxide (VO 2 ),...
Abstract Two-dimensional materials with ultrahigh in-plane thermal conductivity are ideal for heat spreader applications but cause significant contact resistance in complex interfaces, limiting their use as interface materials.

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are still facing safety problems, mainly due to dendrite growth on the anode that leads combustion and explosion. Forming a stable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer is an effective way suppress this. To induce formation of SEI using simple methods at low cost, we report ultrathin large-scale hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN)/polyimide (PI) was coated commercial polypropylene (PP) separator. The stabilized component induced by h-BN coating proposed, as...
Ball milling is a widely used method to produce graphene and other two-dimensional (2D) materials for both industry research. Conventional ball generates strong impact forces, producing small thick nanosheets that limit their applications.

Simulations show giant ratio of η = Ee/Ei, solvent, 2 orders magnitude larger than...
Aggregation of two-dimensional (2D) nanosheet fillers in a polymer matrix is prevalent problem when the filler loading high, leading to degradation physical and mechanical properties composite. To avoid aggregation, low-weight fraction 2D material (<5 wt %) usually used fabricate composite, limiting performance improvement.
