Article Synopsis
  • State-of-the-art oxides and sulfides are key candidates for solid-state electrolytes due to their high Li-ion conductivity and electrochemical stability, but emerging halides show promise because of their low Li migration energy and mechanical advantages.
  • Mechanochemical synthesis has allowed for the creation of LiAlI for the first time, and the synthesized LiAlBr exhibited the highest conductivity at room temperature, while LiAlCl showed better performance at elevated temperatures.
  • Modeling suggests that the transport mechanism for Li-ions in these compounds is influenced by halide properties and the movements of complex anions.

Given the inherent performance limitations of intercalation-based lithium-ion batteries, solid-state conversion batteries are promising systems for future energy storage. A high specific capacity and natural abundancy make iron disulfide (FeS ) a promising cathode-active material. In this work, FeS nanoparticles were prepared solvothermally.

Genomic classification has improved risk assignment of pediatric, but not adult B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). The international UKALLXII/ECOG-ACRIN E2993 (#NCT00002514) trial accrued 1229 adolescent/adult patients with BCR-ABL1- B-ALL (aged 14 to 65 years). Although 93% of patients achieved remission, 41% relapsed at a median of 13 months (range, 28 days to 12 years).
