Article Abstract

The design of a compressible battery with stable electrochemical performance is extremely important in compression-tolerant and flexible electronics. While this remains challenging with the current battery manufacturing method, the field of 3D printing offers the possibility of producing free-standing 3D-printed electrodes with various structural configurations. Through the simple and scalable strategy, various structural configurations can be produced. Herein, we demonstrate a 3D-printed quasi-solid-state Ni-Fe battery (QSS-NFB) that shows excellent compressibility, ultrahigh energy density, and superior long-term cycling durability. Through a rational design and adjustment of chemical components, two electrodes consisting of ultrathin Ni(OH) nanosheet array cathode and holey α-FeO nanorod array anode are achieved with a ultrahigh active material loading over 130 mg cm and excellent compressibility up to 60%. It is noteworthy that the compressible QSS-NFB demonstrated an excellent cycling stability (∼91.3% capacity retentions after 10000 cycles) and ultrahigh energy density (28.1 mWh cm at a power of 10.6 mW cm). This work provides a simple method for producing compression-tolerant energy-storage devices, which are expected to have promising applications in next generation stretchable/wearable electronics.

Thermoelectric (TE) devices recycle high-temperature waste-heat efficiently, but waste-heat below sub-250 °C remains uncaptured. As promoting full autonomy for the Internet of Things (IoT), we present a TE generator using multilayered pseudo--type GaN/TiN/GaN and -type TiO/TiN/TiO TE one-leg devices, where heterozygous of outer/inner layers demonstrates the functions of a colossal Seebeck coefficient ( = +15,000 μV K) with phonon-assist hopping, controlling by the porosity for reducing thermal conductivity (κ), a high electric conductivity (σ) with reducing κ by outer layers, and σ- coexistence over singular curve by the asymmetric electrode configuration. is elucidated hopping among inner grains and the space charge (SC) grain boundary (GB) of 100 μm regions within Debye length.

Improving Bond Dissociations of Reactive Machine Learning Potentials through Physics-Constrained Data Augmentation.

In the field of computational chemistry, predicting bond dissociation energies (BDEs) presents well-known challenges, particularly due to the multireference character of reactive systems. Many chemical reactions involve configurations where single-reference methods fall short, as the electronic structure can significantly change during bond breaking. As generating training data for partially broken bonds is a challenging task, even state-of-the-art reactive machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) often fail to predict reliable BDEs and smooth dissociation curves.

Neutron reflectometry (NR) is a powerful technique for interrogating the structure of thin films at interfaces. Because NR measurements are slow and instrument availability is limited, measurement efficiency is paramount. One approach to improving measurement efficiency is active learning (AL), in which the next measurement configurations are selected on the basis of information gained from the partial data collected so far.
