Visualizing oxygen redox and unlocking electric aviation
The serendipitous journey behind understanding the inner workings of Li-rich cathodes and how that can provide a way to satisfy the "AND problem" for battery cathodes.
The unique defect properties in antimony trisulfide (Sb2S3)
In our recent paper (Nature Communications, 2021, 12:3260), we reported the experimental study on defect properties of antimony trisulfide (Sb2S3). Here I highlight the critical issues regarding the sample preparation, unique defect properties and the significance to device performance improvement.
Thermally-activated quasiparticles in hydrous Fe-bearing geomaterials: a possible route to design new functional materials
Amphiboles are amazing minerals existing in a wide range of temperature and pressure and accommodating a diversity of elements in their structure. These compounds can be potential functional materials because they exhibit strongly anisotropic properties stemming from their structural anisotropy.
Doing Spectral Research as a Microscopist
My team and I developed a deeply learned broadband encoding stochastic hyperspectral camera. As a microscopy developer, why do I want to do this?
Free-standing ultrathin lithium metal–graphene oxide host foils with controllable thickness for lithium batteries
We developed a facile and scalable process to synthesize ultrathin (0.5 to 20 μm), free-standing and mechanically robust Li metal foils within graphene oxide host, enabling ideal prelithiation of conventional Li-ion full cells and prolong the cycle life of Li metal full cells by nine times.
