Article Abstract
Charge transport in Na0.63CoO2 thin film deposited by a spin-coating method was investigated experimentally by time-domain terahertz spectroscopy and theoretically using Monte Carlo calculations of charge response in nano-structured materials. The dominating type of transport mechanism over the entire investigated range of temperatures (20-300 K) is a metallic-like conductivity of charges partly confined in constituting nano-sized grains. Due to the granular character of our thin film, the scattering time at low temperatures is limited by scattering on grain boundaries and the conductivity is strongly suppressed due to capture of a major fraction of charge carriers in deep traps. Nevertheless, our experimental setup and the applied model allowed us to distinguish the parameters related to the grain interior from those influenced by grain boundaries, and to conclude that the metallic type of conductivity is the intrinsic property relevant to single crystal materials.

Molecule-electrode interfaces play a pivotal role in defining the electron transport properties of molecular electronic devices. While extensive research has concentrated on optimizing molecule-electrode coupling (MEC) involving electrode materials and molecular anchoring groups, the role of the molecular backbone structure in modulating MEC is equally vital. Additionally, it is known that the incorporation of heteroatoms into the molecular backbone notably influences factors such as energy levels and conductive characteristics.

Amorphous clusters are gaining prominence as prospective hosts for sodium-ion hybrid capacitors (SIHCs), but their efficacy is still affected by atomic coordination. Optimization of ion storage and charge transport can be achieved through high coordination and bimetallic configurations. Herein, high-coordination amorphous P-Nb-W-P (Nb/W-P) clusters are skillfully tailored by bridging Nb into the second shell of W in the W-P configuration, nested in situ in conductive and stable N, P co-doped carbon nanospheres (Nb/W-P@NPC).

As a potential alternative to next-generation LIBs, carbonous materials have garnered significant attention as anode materials for potassium-ion batteries due to their low cost and environmental friendliness. However, carbonaceous materials cannot fulfill the demand of anode for PIBs, due to volume expansion and poor stability during charging/discharging process. It is well-known that N doping can provide active sites for K-storage, and expand the layer distance between graphite layers.
