Crystals of the newly synthesized compound Ca(3)LiOsO(6) were grown by a flux method using LiCl and KCl, followed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), low-temperature powder XRD, and measurements of ac and dc magnetic susceptibility and specific heat. The data indicate that Ca(3)LiOsO(6) has a fully opened electronic gap with an antiferromagnetic ordered state, consistent with suggestions from the first-principles study. The observed magnetic transition temperature is 117 K, too high to be caused only by a direct spin-spin interaction. It appears that the original superexchange magnetic path Os-O-Os is absent; thus, the extended superexchange path (Os-O)-(O-Os) can be expected to be responsible for the 117 K magnetic order. If this is true, Ca(3)LiOsO(6) would be highly valuable to study the nature of extended superexchange magnetic interactions in solids.

Article Synopsis
- - Nickel-rich layered oxides are a promising material for high-energy Li-ion batteries, but their performance suffers from structural issues caused by Ni/Li antisite disorder, leading to capacity loss and shorter lifespan.
- - The proposed rejuvenation strategy uses magneto-electrochemical activation to stabilize the positive electrode, transitioning Ni to a lower spin state and encouraging Li mobility, which helps recover the material's lithium sites and extend battery life.
- - This method successfully revitalizes an aged Li-ion pouch cell, increasing its capacity by 10% (from 6.49 to 7.14 Ah) and demonstrating the potential to convert low-quality electrodes into high-quality ones through this upcycling process.

Magnetic materials are composed of the simple building blocks of magnetic moments on a crystal lattice that interact via magnetic exchange. Yet from this simplicity emerges a remarkable diversity of magnetic states. Some reveal the deep quantum mechanical origins of magnetism, for example, quantum spin liquid (QSL) states in which magnetic moments remain disordered at low temperatures despite being strongly correlated through quantum entanglement.

One of the most important phenomena in magnetism is the exchange interaction between magnetic centres. In this topical review, we focus on the exchange mechanism in transition-metal compounds and establish kinetic-energy-driven two-sublattice double-exchange as a general mechanism of exchange, in addition to well-known mechanisms like superexchange and double exchange. This mechanism, which was first proposed (Sarma20002549), in the context of SrFeMoO, a double-perovskite compound, later found to describe a large number of 3d and 4d or 5d transition metal-based double perovskites.

Giant molecular acceptors (GMAs) are typically designed through the conjugated linking of individual small molecule acceptors (SMAs). This design imparts an extended molecular size, elevating the glass transition temperature (T) relative to their SMA counterparts. Consequently, it effectively suppresses the thermodynamic relaxation of the acceptor component when blended with polymer donors to construct stable polymer solar cells (PSCs).
