Mo-O-Sn Bond Boosting Kinetics of MoO-xSnO/Sn Anode for High-Performance Li-ion Batteries.

Obtaining a robust electrode composed of Sn-based metal oxides and carbonaceous matrix through nanoscale structure engineering is essential for effectively improving Li-ion batteries' electrochemical performance and stability. Herein, we report a bimetallic MoO-xSnO/Sn nanoparticles uniformly anchored on N, S co-doped graphene nanosheets (MoO-xSnO/Sn@NSG) as an anode electrode for Li-ion battery via a one-step hydrothermal and thermal treatment approach. In the MoO-xSnO/Sn nanocomposite, the generated Sn-O-Mo bond can modulate the electronic and composition structures to improve the intrinsic conductivity of SnO and reinforce the structural stability during cycles.

Predicting the potential distribution of the invasive species, Ophelimus maskelli (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), and its natural enemy Closterocerus chamaeleon (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), under current and future climate conditions.

Invasive species pose a threat to ecosystems and humans worldwide, which is exacerbated by climate change, causing the expansion of species distributions. Ophelimus maskelli (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) causes leaf drying and shedding in eucalyptus trees, forming blister-like galls that negatively impact the growth of the trees. Closterocerus chamaeleon (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) is a recognized parasitoid of O.

Imaging quality enhancement in photon-counting single-pixel imaging via an ADMM-based deep unfolding network in small animal fluorescence imaging.

Photon-counting single-pixel imaging (SPI) can image under low-light conditions with high-sensitivity detection. However, the imaging quality of these systems will degrade due to the undersampling and intrinsic photon-noise in practical applications. Here, we propose a deep unfolding network based on the Bayesian maximum a posterior (MAP) estimation and alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) algorithm.

Concurrent activation of CO and HO on sulfur-doped CNT-supported nickel phthalocyanine for electrochemical CO reduction to CO.

Concurrent activation of CO and HO is essential for CO electroreduction reaction, but challenging. A sulfur-doped carbon nanotubes-supported nickel phthalocyanine (NiPc/S-CNTs) can concurrently activate CO and HO, promoting CO protonation to *COOH. The NiPc/S-CNTs achieves CO Faraday efficiency of >96% at current density from -20 to -140 mA cm.

Fabricating a high-performance anode by coating a carbon layer on a yolk-shell bimetallic selenide microsphere for enhanced lithium storage.

The rational synthesis of an electrode material with a highly active and stable architecture is very critical to achieving high-performance electrochemical energy storage. Herein, N-doped carbon restricting yolk-shell CoSe/NiSe (CoSe/NiSe@NC) flower-like microspheres were successfully synthesized from solid CoNi-glycerate microspheres using a coating technology as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The unique yolk-shell CoSe/NiSe@NC microspheres with hierarchical pores can increase the contact area with the electrolyte and provide enough transfer channels for the diffusion of Li.

A Novel Superhard, Wear-Resistant, and Highly Conductive Cu-MoSi Coating Fabricated by High-Speed Laser Cladding Technique.

The pursuit of an advanced functional coating that simultaneously combines high hardness, wear resistance, and superior electrical conductivity has remained an elusive goal in the field of copper alloy surface enhancement. Traditional solid solution alloying methods often lead to a significant increase in electron scattering, resulting in a notable reduction in electrical conductivity, making it challenging to achieve a balance between high hardness, wear resistance, and high conductivity. The key lies in identifying a suitable microstructure where dislocation motion is effectively hindered while minimizing the scattering of conductive electrons.
