Generality Rules and Synergistic Effect of Mitigating the Jahn-Teller Effect by Multisites Compositionally Complex Doping.

The Jahn-Teller (JT) deformation triggers severe structural distortion and large capacity fading in the cathode materials of alkali-ion batteries. Although conventional doping containing over 20 dopant species has been demonstrated to suppress the JT effect, how the short-range and cooperative JT effect are regulated remains an open question. Recently, the new compositionally complex (high entropy) doping has been validated in various oxide cathodes and achieved "zero strain", but the reported "synergistic effect" is largely factual reporting with a limited fundamental understanding of the link between multicomponents and the JT effect.

Enhanced Li Diffusion and Lattice oxygen Stability by the High Entropy Effect in Disordered-Rocksalt Cathodes.

Cation-disordered Rocksalt oxides (DRXs) are a promising new class of cathode materials for Li-ion batteries due to their natural abundance, low cost and great electrochemical performance. High entropy strategy in Mn-based DRXs appears to be an effective strategy for improving the rate capability, but it suffers from challenges including capacity degradation. The present paper reports a new group of high entropy DRXs (HE DRX) based on Ni -Nb pair; the structural and chemical evolution upon cycling of DRXs with an increasing transition metal (TM) species are systematically investigated.

Enhanced Polysulfide Trapping and Conversion by Amorphous-Crystalline Heterostructured MnO Interlayers for Li-S Batteries.

The practical application of lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) is still hindered by several technical issues, including severe polysulfide shuttling and sluggish redox kinetics, which reduces the sulfur utilization and further results in low energy density. Herein, amorphous-crystalline heterostructured MnO (ACM) prepared through a simple calcination process was employed as the functional interlayer to play a double role as effective trapper and multifunctional electrocatalyst for LSBs. ACM not only combines the strong sulfur chemisorption of the amorphous MnO (AM) and fast Li transportation of the crystalline MnO(CM) but also accelerates the interface charge transfer at the amorphous/crystalline interfaces.

Enhanced stability of vanadium-doped LiNiCoMnO cathode materials for superior Li-ion batteries.

Built-In Electric Field on the Mott-Schottky Heterointerface-Enabled Fast Kinetics Lithium-Sulfur Batteries.

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries (LSBs) have been considered one of the most potential candidates to substitute traditional Li-ion batteries (LIBs), owing to their high theoretical energy density and low cost. Nevertheless, the shuttle effect and the sluggish redox kinetics of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) have long been obstacles to realizing stable LSBs with high reversible capacity. In this study, we proposed a metal-semiconductor (Mo and MoO) heterostructure with the hollow microsphere morphology as an effective Mott-Schottky electrocatalyst to boost sulfur electrochemistry.

Rich Heterointerfaces Enabling Rapid Polysulfides Conversion and Regulated LiS Deposition for High-Performance Lithium-Sulfur Batteries.

The practical uses of lithium-sulfur batteries are greatly restricted by the sluggish reaction kinetics of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs), leading to low sulfur utilization and poor cyclic stability. Using the heterostructure catalysts is an effective way to solve the above problems, but how to further enhance the conversion efficiency and avoid the surface passivation by the insulative LiS has not been well investigated. Herein, a heterostructure catalyst with rich heterointerfaces was prepared by modifying MoN microbelt with SnO nanodots.

Psychometric Properties of the POAGTS: A Tool for Understanding Parents' Perceptions Regarding Autism Spectrum Disorder Genetic Testing.

Due to the increased prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), more children with ASD may be referred for genetic testing. It is important to develop a tool to help parents consider the benefits and drawbacks of genetic testing for ASD before pursuing genetic testing for children with ASD. We developed the first theory-based survey-Perceptions of ASD Genetic Testing Survey (POAGTS), as a tool to assist healthcare providers to better understand parents' perceptions and concerns regarding ASD genetic testing.

A gradient screening approach for retired lithium-ion batteries based on X-ray computed tomography images.

Accurate and efficient screening of retired lithium-ion batteries from electric vehicles is crucial to guarantee reliable secondary applications such as in energy storage, electric bicycles, and smart grids. However, conventional electrochemical screening methods typically involve a charge/discharge process and usually take hours to measure critical parameters such as capacity, resistance, and voltage. To address this issue of low efficiency for battery screening, scanned X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) cross-sectional images in combination with a computational image recognition algorithm have been employed to explore the gradient screening of these retired batteries.

Facile synthesis of porous CoO nanoflakes as an interlayer for high performance lithium-sulfur batteries.

The "shuttle effect" of long-chain polysulfides and the low conductivity of elemental sulfur lead to the inferior cycling stability of lithium-sulfur batteries and imped their practical applications. Herein, CoO nanoflakes with uniform macro pores distribution were synthesized via facile oil bath and calcination methods. Coupled with super P and coated on common polypropylene separators, they were expected to hinder the migration of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) and accelerate the redox kinetics of polysulfides.
