The mechanical strength and toughness of engineering materials are often mutually exclusive, posing challenges for material ...

Managing radioactive waste is one of the core challenges in the use of nuclear energy. In particular, radioactive iodine ...

Sodium-containing transition-metal layered oxides are promising electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries, a potential alternative to lithium-ion batteries. However, the vast number of possible ...

Extending the life of a lithium metal anode using a protective layer made of an extremely ... Prepared Using Concentrated Electrolytes to Stabilize Lithium‐Metal Anodes. Advanced Materials, ...

This storage of water or charge means that such layered materials, from conventional clays to layered metal oxides—and, crucially, their interactions with water—have widespread applications ...

The layered semiconductors, represented by atomically thin TMDs with clean vdW interfaces, exhibit excellent controllability and heterogeneous integration potential with other layered materials.

When metal ions migrate so quickly across metal surfaces, it means that it is advisable to intersperse the active material with a metallic motorway network for ion transport. This is exactly what ...

Conversely, APP can operate with all material formats — not only dry fiber, prepreg or thermoplastic UD tapes, but also textiles like noncrimp fabrics, as well as films, metal-layered sheet material ...

Nature creates layered materials like bone and mother-of-pearl that become less sensitive to defects as they grow. Now researchers have created, using biomimetic proteins patterned on squid ring ...

Unlike an all-metal horn or a printed polymer horn entirely coated with conductive materials, their horn weighed only 12 grams with a selectively patterned thin layer of copper only on the ...

To the point: Lithium-ion batteries: Electrodes can be at least ten times thicker than is usual today if active material is applied to a metal fleece instead of contacts made of metal foils. Optimized ...
