Ultralong Cycling and Safe Lithium-Sulfur Pouch Cells for Sustainable Energy Storage.

While layered metal oxides remain the dominant cathode materials for the state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries, conversion-type cathodes such as sulfur present unique opportunities in developing cheaper, safer, and more energy-dense next-generation battery technologies. There has been remarkable progress in advancing the laboratory scale lithium-sulfur (Li-S) coin cells to a high level of performance. However, the relevant strategies cannot be readily translated to practical cell formats such as pouch cells and even battery pack.

Lateral lymph node dissection can increase overall survival and 5‑year survival rate of rectal cancer patients: A meta‑analysis.

Rectal cancer is one of the most malignant tumors, and postoperative recurrence and metastasis are the main reasons for treatment failure. Lymph node metastasis is the main metastatic pathway of rectal cancer. The present study aimed to investigate the role of lateral lymph node dissection (LLND) in patients with rectal cancer using a meta-analysis.

Nonflammable Polyfluorides-Anchored Quasi-Solid Electrolytes for Ultra-Safe Anode-Free Lithium Pouch Cells without Thermal Runaway.

The safe operation of rechargeable batteries is crucial because of numerous instances of fire and explosion mishaps. However, battery chemistry involving metallic lithium (Li) as the anode is prone to thermal runaway in flammable organic electrolytes under abusive conditions. Herein, an in situ encapsulation strategy is proposed to construct nonflammable quasi-solid electrolytes through the radical polymerization of a hexafluorobutyl acrylate (HFBA) monomer and a pentaerythritol tetraacrylate (PETEA) crosslinker.

Achieving Stable Lithium Metal Anode at 50 mA cm Current Density by LiCl Enriched SEI.

Lithium metal batteries are intensively studied due to the potential to bring up breakthroughs in high energy density devices.

CLSA: A Contrastive Learning Framework with Selective Aggregation for Video Rescaling.

Video rescaling has recently drawn extensive attention for its practical applications such as video compression. Compared to video super-resolution, which focuses on upscaling bicubic-downscaled videos, video rescaling methods jointly optimize a downscaler and a upscaler. However, the inevitable loss of information during downscaling makes the upscaling procedure still ill-posed.

The natural pyrazolotriazine pseudoiodinine from Pseudomonas mosselii 923 inhibits plant bacterial and fungal pathogens.

Natural products largely produced by Pseudomonads-like soil-dwelling microorganisms are a consistent source of antimicrobial metabolites and pesticides. Herein we report the isolation of Pseudomonas mosselii strain 923 from rice rhizosphere soils of paddy fields, which specifically inhibit the growth of plant bacterial pathogens Xanthomonas species and the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae. The antimicrobial compound is purified and identified as pseudoiodinine using high-resolution mass spectra, nuclear magnetic resonance and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Tailoring Lithium Fluoride Interface for Dendrite-Free Lithium Anode to Prolong the Cyclic Stability of Lithium-Sulfur Pouch Cells.

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) cells have been regarded as attractive alternatives to achieve higher energy densities because of their theoretical specific energy far beyond the lithium-ion cells. However, the achieved results of Li-S cells are exaggerating the cycle performance in their pouch formats because the considerable works are based on the coin cells where flood electrolyte and endless Li supply ensure the Li metal with nature structure features, resulting in a negligible effect on cycle performance caused by the Li dendrites and electrolyte dissipation during cycles. Herein, we demonstrate a strategy to enable the Li metal with lithium fluoride (LiF)-rich solid electrolyte interface via integrating a reinforced interface (RI) embedded with nano-LiF particles on the surface of the Li metal anode.

Single Nickel Atom Catalysts Enable Fast Polysulfide Redox for Safe and Long-Cycle Lithium-Sulfur Batteries.

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have attracted great interest due to their low cost, high theoretical energy density, and environmental friendliness. However, the sluggish conversion of lithium polysulfides (LiPS) to S and Li S during the charge/discharge process leads to unsatisfactory rate performance of lower to 0.1 C (1 C = 1675 mA g ) especially for Li-S pouch batteries, thus hindering their practical applications in high power batteries.

High Energy Density, Asymmetric, Nonaqueous Redox Flow Batteries without a Supporting Electrolyte.

Energy density in nonaqueous redox flow batteries (RFBs) is often limited by the modest solubility of the redox-active organic molecules (ROMs). In addition, the lack of a separator that prevents ROMs from crossing between anolyte and catholyte solutions necessitates the use of 1:1 mixtures of two ROMs in both the anolyte and catholyte solutions in symmetric RFBs, further limiting concentrations. We show that permanently cationic oligomers of viologen, tris(dialkylamino)cyclopropenium, and phenothiazine molecules have high solubility in acetonitrile and cross over an anion exchange membrane at slow to undetectable rates, enabling the creation of asymmetric RFBs with low crossover.
