All-solid-state Li-S batteries with fast solid-solid sulfur reaction.

With promises for high specific energy, high safety and low cost, the all-solid-state lithium-sulfur battery (ASSLSB) is ideal for next-generation energy storage. However, the poor rate performance and short cycle life caused by the sluggish solid-solid sulfur redox reaction (SSSRR) at the three-phase boundaries remain to be solved. Here we demonstrate a fast SSSRR enabled by lithium thioborophosphate iodide (LBPSI) glass-phase solid electrolytes (GSEs).

From LiNiO to high-performance LiNiO cathodes for application in Li-ion and all-solid-state batteries.

The synthesis of LiNiO (LNO) typically involves oxidizing Ni(II) to Ni(III), thus leading to Ni point-defect formation. Here, materials containing Ni(IV) in the form of overlithiated LiNiO (0 ≤ ≤ 1/3) are converted into LNO. This method produces low defect-density samples at high temperatures, offering an attractive route toward coarse-grained particles that are naturally coated by the byproduct LiO.

Exploring Structural Uncertainty in Cost-Effectiveness Modeling of Gestational Diabetes Screening: An Application Example from Norway.

Background: Screening pregnant women for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has recently been expanded in Norway, although screening eligibility criteria continue to be debated. We aimed to compare the cost-effectiveness of alternative GDM screening strategies and explored structural uncertainty and the value of future research in determining the most cost-effective eligibility criteria for GDM screening in Norway.

Design: We developed a probabilistic decision tree to estimate the total costs and health benefits (i.

Selectivity control towards CO versus H for photo-driven CO reduction with a novel Co(II) catalyst.

Developing efficient catalysts for reducing carbon dioxide, a highly stable combustion waste product, is a relevant task to lower the atmospheric concentration of this greenhouse gas by upcycling. Selectivity towards CO-reduction products is highly desirable, although it can be challenging to achieve since the metal-hydrides formation is sometimes favored and leads to H evolution. In this work, we designed a cobalt-based catalyst, and we present herein its physicochemical properties.
