Carbonaceous materials are promising candidates as anode materials for non-lithium-ion batteries (NLIBs) due to their appealing properties such as good electrical conductivity, low cost, and high safety. However, graphene, a classic two-dimensional (2D) carbon material, is chemically inert to most metal atoms, hindering its application as an electrode material for metal-ion batteries. Inspired by the unique geometry of a four-penta unit, we explore a metallic 2D carbon allotrope C composed of 5-10-16 carbon rings.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the role of white adipose tissue (WAT) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), suggesting it could be a potential target for treatment.
  • Researchers compared the WAT of healthy rats to those with adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) and found that AIA rats had smaller WAT but higher secretion levels of inflammatory proteins.
  • The study concludes that specific hepatokines enhance inflammatory responses in pre-adipocytes, which may worsen RA, indicating that targeting this dysfunction could help reduce the severity of the disease.

We propose a two-dimensional carbon allotrope (named KT-graphene) by incorporating kagome and tetragonal lattices consisting of trigonal, quadrilateral, octagonal, and dodecagonal rings. The introduction of non-hexagonal rings can give rise to the localized electronic states that improve the chemical reactivity toward potassium, making KT-graphene a high-performance anode material for potassium-ion batteries. It shows a high theoretical capacity (892 mAh g), a low diffusion barrier (0.

Giant magnetoresistance was first experimentally discovered in three-dimensional magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) in the late 1980s and is of great importance in nonvolatile memory applications. How to achieve a magnetoresistance as large as possible is always a central task in the study of MTJs. However, it is normally only of the order of magnitude of tens of percent in traditional MTJs.

Ferroelectric tunnel junctions (FTJs) have great potential in nonvolatile memory devices and have been extensively studied in recent years. Compared with conventional FTJs based on perovskite-type oxide materials as the barrier layer, two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals ferroelectric materials are advantageous in improving the performance of FTJs and achieving miniaturization of FTJ devices due to the features such as atomic thickness and ideal interfaces. In this work, we present a 2D out-of-plane ferroelectric tunnel junction (FTJ) constructed using graphene and bilayer-InSe.

Two-dimensional (2D) carbon materials integrated with planar tetracoordinate carbon (ptC) and negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) provide a cornerstone for constructing multifunctional energy-storage devices. As a typical 2D carbon material, the pristine graphene is chemically inert, hindering its application in metal-ion batteries. Introducing the ptC in graphene can break the extended conjugation of π-electrons and lead to an enhanced surface reactivity.
