Sb@C yolk-shell spheres with tunable interior space have been obtained a facile thermal annealing strategy and used as anodes for sodium-ion batteries. The proportion of interior space in the yolk-shell structure has a significant influence on the electrochemical performance of the electrode material.

Oxygen vacancies (OVs) spatially confined on the surface of metal oxide semiconductors are advantageous for photocatalysis, in particular, for O-involved redox reactions. However, the thermal annealing process used to generate surface OVs often results in undesired bulk OVs within the metal oxides. Herein, a high pressure-assisted thermal annealing strategy has been developed for selectively confining desirable amounts of OVs on the surface of metal oxides, such as tungsten oxide (WO).

We show that the cubic center (Er-C) has C or lower symmetry and propose all Er centers range between full Si- and full O-coordination. By co-implanting Si with Er and O (both 10cm) and increasing the thermal anneal quenching rate from ∼100 °C/s to ∼1000 °C/s, we shifted the dominant optically active center from ErO clusters to the Er-C center with mixed Si and O coordination.

Terminal metal-phosphorus (M-P) complexes are of significant contemporary interest as potential platforms for P-atom transfer (PAT) chemistry. Decarbonylation of metal-phosphaethynolate (M-PCO) complexes has emerged as a general synthetic approach to terminal M-P complexes. M-P complexes that are stabilized by strong M-P multiple bonds are kinetically persistent and isolable.

Self-organization realizes various nanostructures to control material properties such as superconducting vortex pinning and thermal conductivity. However, the self-organization of nucleation and growth is constrained by the growth geometric symmetry. To realize highly controlled three-dimensional nanostructures by self-organization, nanostructure formation that breaks the growth geometric symmetry thermodynamically and kinetically, such as tilted or in-plane aligned nanostructures, is a challenging issue.

A crucial step in fabricating full-color organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays is patterning the emissive layer (EML). Traditional methods utilize thermal evaporation through metal masks. However, this limits the achievable resolution required for emerging microdisplay technologies.
