Potassium ion batteries (PIBs) have shown great potential as a next-generation electrochemical energy storage system, due to the natural abundance of potassium and the relatively low redox potential of K ions. To accommodate the large ionic radius of K ions, conversion-type electrode materials are regarded as suitable candidates for K ion storage. However, the triggering mechanism of a conversion reaction in most anode materials of PIBs is unclear, which limits their further development. To reveal the mechanism, in this work, MoSe, MoS, and MoO were selected as model materials, guided by theoretical calculations, to investigate the K ion storage process. Through characterization, it was found that intercalation reactions preferentially occur in MoSe and MoS, while an adsorption reaction preferentially occurs in MoO. This is because of the larger interlayer spacing and lower K ion intercalation barrier in MoSe and MoS than in MoO. The preferential intercalation reactions are able to induce a further conversion reaction by reducing the reaction barrier, thereby realizing high K ion storage capacities. As a result, the MoSe-rGO and MoS-rGO hybrids showed higher reversible capacities than the MoO-rGO hybrid. By demonstrating a relationship between intercalation and the conversion reaction and understanding the mechanism, guidance is provided for selecting the electrode materials to obtain PIBs with high performance.

MXenes, have been considered as a new generation anode material in lithium-ion batteries for lower lithium-ion diffusion barriers and superior conductivity. Unfortunately, their structures are prone to aggregation and stacking, hindering further shuttle of lithium ions and electrons, resulting in lower discharge capacity. Therefore, the introduction of interlayer spacers for the preparation of MXene-based hybrids has attracted much attention.

Although Silicon monoxide (SiO) is regarded as the most promising next-generation anode material, the large volume expansion, poor conductivity, and low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) severely hamper its commercialization application. Designing a multilayer conductive skeleton combined with advanced prelithiation technology is considered an effective approach to address these problems. Herein, a reliable strategy is proposed that utilizes MXene and carbon nanotube (CNT) as dual-conductive skeletons to encapsulate SiO through simple electrostatic interaction for high-performance anodes in LIBs, while also performing chemical prelithiation.

Mn-containing sodium superionic conductor (NASICON) compounds have shown considerable potential as cathode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to higher working voltage (V/V: 3.9 V), lower cost, and lower toxicity compared to full vanadium-based NASICON NaV(PO). Taking NaVMn(PO) (NVMP) as an example, its practical application is still restricted by poor electronic conductivity, sluggish intrinsic Na diffusion, and poor high-voltage stability.

Osimertinib (AZD9291) is a widely used tyrosine kinase inhibitor for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer patients with activating EGFR mutations. However, the correlation between dose and efficacy has been debated for several years. For this reason, there is a need for standardized methods for routine analysis, clinical studies on pharmacokinetics and dose-response relationships, and greater understanding of preanalytical conditions, such as sample storage stability.

Herein, a novel composite solid-state polymer electrolytes (CSEs) was regulated by introducing CoNi-MOF (Metal-organic framework) @NiPc (Nickel phthalocyanine) nanofiller (CMN) into PEO (polyethylene oxide) matrix. In this novel system, the NiPc uniformly wrapped around the surface of MOF through hydrogen bond bridging, avoiding the agglomeration of the MOF particles. The chemisorption between Ni in NiPc and the O atoms in the bis(triffuoromethanesulfonyl)imide anion (TFSI) restricted the mobility of the anions within the CSEs, which improved the release of Li ions from the NiPcLi.
