Electrolyte engineering via non-fluorinated solvent for high-performance lithium metal batteries.

Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) employing high-voltage cathode present a promising pathway toward high-energy-density energy storage systems. However, critical challenges have hindered their practical application, including lithium dendrite proliferation, unstable solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI), and limited oxidative stability of conventional 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME)-based electrolytes. Herein, we rationally design a siloxane-based electrolyte system featuring enhanced oxidative stability through solvent molecular engineering.

Dual temporal pathway model of emotion processing based on dynamic network reconfiguration analysis of EEG signals.

Emotion is crucial for the quality of daily life. Recent findings suggest that the cooperation and integration of multiple brain regions are essential for effective emotion processing. Additionally, network reconfiguration has been observed during various cognitive tasks.

Whole-genome resequencing reveals the population structure and domestication processes of endemic endangered goose breeds (Anser cygnoides).

In recent years, the dwindling population of these endangered geese has hindered our understanding of their phenotypic variations and the genes associated with important traits. To investigate the population structure and genetic diversity of this breed, the whole-genome data of 90 individuals from a conservation farm were obtained using the Illumina 6000 paired-end platform. The research results indicate that each locally endangered goose variety has formed a monophyletic population.

Research trends of neoadjuvant therapy in lung cancer: a bibliometric analysis.

Background: Lung cancer is the most prevalent malignancy worldwide. Only a fraction of early-stage patients undergo radical surgery; however, many still experience recurrence and metastasis within 5 years postoperatively (approximately 30-75%). Neoadjuvant therapy has revolutionized the treatment approach for lung cancer, with a growing number of clinical trials investigating this modality.

Lithium Nitrate-Mediated Low-Volatile Deep Eutectic Electrolyte for Highly Stable Lithium-Oxygen Batteries.

Lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs), with an extremely high theoretical energy density (3500 Wh kg), have been regarded as potential candidates for future large-scale energy storage facilities. However, the unique semiopen system puts a hurdle on the long-lasting operation of LOBs with critical issues like the severe volatilization of the aprotic electrolyte, surface passivation or dendrite growth of the lithium metal anode, and the sluggish oxygen redox reactions. Herein, we propose a strategy to tackle the above issues with a solvation structure regulated deep eutectic electrolyte (DEE) for LOBs.
