First record of the flat-skulled woolly bat and the Indochinese woolly bat (Chiroptera, Vespertilionidae) in China.

Recent studies have revealed that the complex should be divided into two species, distributed mainly in Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, and found only in the Annamite Mountains of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. In November 2018 and April 2019, 24 woolly bats were collected by two-band harp traps in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, China. Based on morphological, morphometric, and phylogenetic (, , and gene sequences) analyses, these bats were identified as and , representing two new species records for the country.

Phosphorylation of Li-Rich Mn-Based Layered Oxides for Anion Redox and Structural Stability.

Li-rich Mn-based layered oxides are proposed to be candidates for high-energy Li-ion batteries. However, their large-scale production is still hampered by poor rate capability and severe voltage decay. It was mainly attributed to the irreversible oxygen loss, which induces transition metal ion migration, electrolyte consumption, and structural evolution.

Ion-Migration Mechanism: An Overall Understanding of Anionic Redox Activity in Metal Oxide Cathodes of Li/Na-Ion Batteries.

The anionic redox reaction (ARR) has attracted extensive attention due to its potential to enhance the reversible capacity of cathode materials in Li/Na-ion batteries (LIBs/SIBs). However, the understanding of its activation mechanism is still limited by the insufficient mastering of the underlying thermodynamics and kinetics. Herein, a series of Mg/Li/Zn-substituted Na MnO and Li MnO cathode materials are designed to investigate their ARR behaviors.

Scalable Nitrate Treatment for Constructing Integrated Surface Structures to Mitigate Capacity Fading and Voltage Decay of Li-Rich Layered Oxides.

Capacity fading and voltage decay is one of the biggest obstacles for the practical application of Li-rich layered oxides due to the serious surface-related detrimental reactions. Herein, we develop a versatile and scalable method to construct a robust surface-integrated structure. All the designed samples deliver outstanding capacity and voltage stability, among which the Zn-treated sample possesses the best electrochemical performance.

The efficacy of combined music therapy and Tai Chi for major depressive disorder: Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: There are no clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of combined music and Tai Chi therapy for patients with major depression. Therefore, the primary objective of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of Tai Chi and music therapy on psychological status and quality of life among patients with major depressive disorder in China.

Methods: This work is a part of a comprehensive research project to assess and provide intervention that potentially improves psychological status and quality of life among patients with major depressive disorder.

Deciphering the effects of hexagonal and monoclinic structure distribution on the properties of Li-rich layered oxides.

Uniform distribution of LiMnO and LiMO components in a Co-free Li-rich layered oxide is achieved by treating precursors with NH·HO, which expands the lattice parameter and promotes the activation of LiMnO, resulting in excellent electrochemical performance. What's more, it also contributes to the storage stability of Li-rich layered oxides.

A general route of fluoride coating on the cyclability regularity of high-voltage NCM cathodes.

The effect of fluoride coatings, an effective approach to suppress HF corrosion, on the cycling stability of NCM523 cathodes is systematically studied. It is the first study to reveal that fluoride coatings significantly restrain interfacial reactions when, simultaneously, the fluoride suspension possesses an appropriate pH (near 4.0) and there is a small cation ionic radius.

An Ultra-Long-Life Lithium-Rich Li Mn Ni O Cathode by Three-in-One Surface Modification for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Voltage decay and capacity fading are the main challenges for the commercialization of Li-rich Mn-based layered oxides (LLOs). Now, a three-in-one surface treatment is designed via the pyrolysis of urea to improve the voltage and capacity stability of Li Mn Ni O (LMNO), by which oxygen vacancies, spinel phase integration, and N-doped carbon nanolayers are synchronously built on the surface of LMNO microspheres. Oxygen vacancies and spinel phase integration suppress irreversible O release and help lithium ion diffusion, while N-doped carbon nanolayer mitigates the corrosion of electrolyte with excellent conductivity.
