Nature Materials
A monthly multi-disciplinary journal that brings together cutting-edge research across the entire spectrum of materials science and engineering, including applied and fundamental aspects of the synthesis/processing, structure/composition, properties and performance of materials.
New Battery Interphase Technology: Electrophile Reduction Strategy
Our work presents a new interphase chemistry in which reductive electrophiles gain electrons and cations from solid-state electrolytes upon contact, forming layers on the materials' surfaces, which enhances their electrochemical stability and offers adaptable solutions for other battery materials.
Unlocking the potential of liquid crystal elastomers
Unveiling a novel laser-induced dynamic crosslinking method that enables local phase patterning with three distinct phases by phase patterning of liquid crystal elastomers by laser-induced dynamic crosslinking
Fe–Ni-based alloys: highly active and low-cost alkaline oxygen evolution reaction catalyst
Water electrolysis in alkaline media enables to produce green hydrogen, an endeavor for renewable electricity storage. However, it is hindered by its low conversion efficiency (overvoltage of water electrolysis reactions), the catalysts' abundance, cost and manufacturability, and their durability.
