Upgrading the energy density and cycling life of current lithium ion batteries is urgently needed for developing advanced portable electronics and electric vehicles. Amorphous transition metal oxides (TMO) with inherent lattice disorders exhibit enormous potential as electrode materials owing to their high specific capacity, fast ion diffusion, and excellent cyclic stability. Yet, challenges remain in their controllable synthesis. In this study, the amorphous phase is induced into α-MoO crystal nanobelts at room temperature with the aid of Jahn-Teller effect enhanced lattice distortion triggered by the accumulation of low-valent molybdenum centers. The optimized HI-MoO-36 h exhibits high reversible capacities of 886.0 at 0.1 A g and 491.1 mA h g at 1.0 A g, respectively, along with outstanding stability retaining 83.4% initial capacity after 100 cycles at 0.1 A g. The crystal engineering strategy proposed in this work is believed to be a salutary reference towards the synthesis of high-performance TMO anodes for energy storage applications.

Variable relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of carbon radiotherapy may be calculated using several models, including the microdosimetric kinetic model (MKM), stochastic MKM (SMKM), repair-misrepair-fixation (RMF) model, and local effect model I (LEM), which have not been thoroughly compared. In this work, we compared how these four models handle carbon beam fragmentation, providing insight into where model differences arise. Monoenergetic and spread-out Bragg peak carbon beams incident on a water phantom were simulated using Monte Carlo.

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are promising candidates for next-generation energy storage due to their high energy density, cost-effectiveness, and environmental friendliness. However, their commercialization is hindered by challenges, such as the polysulfide shuttle effect, lithium dendrite growth, and low electrical conductivity of sulfur cathodes. Cellulose, a natural, renewable, and versatile biopolymer, has emerged as a multifunctional material to address these issues.

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) have attracted much attention due to their excellent flexibility, strong interfacial adhesion, and good processibility. However, the poor interfacial contact between the separate solid polymer electrolytes and electrodes leads to large interfacial impedance and, thus, hinders Li transport. In this work, an ionic liquid-modified comb-like crosslinked network composite solid-state electrolyte with an integrated electrolyte/cathode structure is prepared by in situ ultraviolet (UV) photopolymerization.

The main component of high-capacity silicon-based electrodes is silicon powder, which necessitates intricate processing to minimize volume growth and powder separation while guaranteeing the ideal Si content. This work uses the an situ high-pressure forming approach to create an MXene/-Si/MXene composite electrode, where MXene refers to TiCT, and -Si denotes two-phase mixed nano-Si particles. The sandwich shape promotes silicon's volume growth and stops active particles from spreading.
