Abstract Hybrid organic–inorganic lead halide perovskite APbX 3 pigments, such as methylammonium iodide, have recently emerged excellent light harvesters in solid‐state mesoscopic solar cells. An important target for the further improvement of performance perovskite‐based photovoltaics is to extend their optical‐absorption onset into red enhance solar‐light harvesting. Herein, we show that this goal can be reached by using a mixture formamidinium (HN=CHNH + , FA) and (CH NH MA) cations A...

Nanometer-sized rutile shows much higher electroactivity towards Li insertion than micrometer-sized rutile. Up to 0.8 mol of per mole TiO2 can be inserted into nanometer-sized at room temperature (see figure), which is able reversibly accommodate up Li0.5TiO2 with excellent capacity retention and high rate capability on cycling, rendering it a promising anode material for high-power lithium-ion batteries.
Abstract In this paper, we report on Li storage in hierarchically porous carbon monoliths with a relatively higher graphite‐like ordered structure. Macroscopic both mesopores and macropores were successfully prepared by using meso‐/macroporous silica as template mesophase pitch precursor. Owing to the high porosity (providing ionic transport channels) electronic conductivity (ca. 0.1 S cm –1 ), monolith mixed conducting 3D network shows superior high‐rate performance if used anode material...

An optimized nanostructure design of electrode material for high power, energy lithium batteries is realized. Highly Li-permeable materials are obtained by introducing hierarchical mixed conducting networks on both nanoscale and microscale levels (see figure). A mesoporous TiO2:RuO2 composite selected as an example this new design.
Abstract In this paper, we report that Li can be stored in RuO 2 with an unusually high coulombic efficiency.
