In this study, we fabricated a Li-metal all-solid-state battery (ASSB) with a low mass loading of NMC111 cathode electrode, enabling a sensitive evaluation of interfacial electrochemical reactions and their impact on battery performance, using LiAlTi(PO) (LATP) as the solid electrolyte. The electrochemical behavior of the battery was analyzed to understand how the solid electrolyte influences charge storage mechanisms and Li-ion transport at the electrolyte/electrode interface. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements revealed the -values of 0.

This study investigates the surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-induced UV photoresponse of zinc oxide (ZnO) derived from zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) to assess the influence of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on the photoresponse behavior of metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived ZnO. The initial synthesis involved a thermal treatment in air to convert ZIF-8 into ZnO. We noted enhanced optical absorption both in the UV and visible spectra with the deposition of Ag NPs onto the ZIF-8-derived ZnO.

Our study has effectively employed electrophoretic deposition (EPD) using AC voltage to develop a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) Li-ion battery featuring pseudocapacitive properties and improved high C-rate performance. This method has significantly improved the battery's specific capacity, achieving an impressive 100 mAhg-1 at a 5 C discharge rate, which showcases its superior high-rate capability. Additionally, the battery displayed excellent reversibility during its performance cycles.

Near edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy is used to study the orientation of pentacene molecules within thin films on SiO2 for thicknesses ranging from monolayers to the bulk (150 nm). The spectra exhibit a strong polarization dependence of the pi* orbitals for all films, which indicates that the pentacene molecules are highly oriented. At all film thicknesses the orientation varies with the rate at which pentacene molecules are deposited, with faster rates favoring a thin film phase with different tilt angles and slower rates leading to a more bulklike orientation.

The widely used 'silicon-on-insulator' (SOI) system consists of a layer of single-crystalline silicon supported on a silicon dioxide substrate. When this silicon layer (the template layer) is very thin, the assumption that an effectively infinite number of atoms contributes to its physical properties no longer applies, and new electronic, mechanical and thermodynamic phenomena arise, distinct from those of bulk silicon. The development of unusual electronic properties with decreasing layer thickness is particularly important for silicon microelectronic devices, in which (001)-oriented SOI is often used.
