Linear Enhanced 3D Nanofluid Force-Electric Conversion Device.

The inherent trade-off between permeability and selectivity has constrained further improvement of passive linear force-electric conversion performance in nanofluidic pressure sensors. To overcome this limitation, a 3D nanofluidic membrane with high mechanical strength utilizing aramid nanofibers/carbon nanofiber (ANF/CNF) dual crosslinking is developed. Due to the abundant surface functional groups of CNF and the high mechanical strength of ANF, this large-scale integrated 3D nanofluidic membrane exhibits advantages of high flux, high porosity, and short ion transport path, demonstrating superior force-electric response compared to conventional 1D and 2D configurations.

Engineering of Cerium Modified TiNbO Nanoparticles For Low-Temperature Lithium-Ion Battery.

Although TiNbO (TNO) with comparable operating potential and ideal theoretical capacity is considered to be the most ideal replacement for negative LiTiO (LTO), the low ionic and electronic conductivity still limit its practical application as satisfactory anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with high-power density. Herein, TNO nanoparticles modified by Cerium (Ce) with outstanding electrochemical performance are synthesized. The successful introduction of Ce in the lattice leads to increased interplanar spacing, refined grain size, more oxygen vacancy, and a smaller lithium diffusion barrier, which are conducive to improve conductivity of both Li and electrons.

Bulk Modification of Porous TiNb O Microsphere to Achieve Superior Lithium-Storage Properties at Low Temperature.

TiNb O , as a promising alternative of Li Ti O , exhibits giant potential as low-temperature anode due to its higher theoretical capacity and comparable structural stability. However, the sluggish electronic conductivity still remains a challenge. Herein, bulk modification of Cu doping in porous TiNb O microsphere is proposed via a simple one-step solvothermal method with subsequent calcination treatment.
