Molybdenum disulfide (MoS) with a layered structure is a desirable substitute for the graphite anode in lithium ion storage. Compared with the semiconducting phase (2H-MoS), the metallic polymorph (1T-MoS) usually shows much better cycling stability. Nevertheless, the origin of this remarkable cycling stability is still ambiguous, hindering further development of MoS-based anodes. Herein, we assembled multilayered 1T-MoS nanosheets directly on Ti foil to investigate the Li storage mechanism. Based on experimental observation and computational simulation, we found that the cycling stability correlates with the layer number of MoS. Multilayered 1T-MoS can accommodate inserted Li in a ternary compound Li-Mo-S through a reversible reaction, which is favorable for retaining a substantial number of MoS nanodomains upon Li intercalation. These residual MoS nanodomains can serve as an anchor to adhere LiS species, thereby suppressing the "shuttle effect" of polysulfides and enhancing cycling stability. This work sheds light on the development of high-performance anodes based on metallic MoS for LIBs.

CaCoO/rGO was prepared by combining a sol-gel strategy and mechanical ball milling method. The Rietveld refinement results demonstrated a single-phase structure with a monoclinic symmetry. When utilized as an anode for lithium-ion batteries, it exhibited excellent rate performance and electrochemical stability due to the significantly decreasing particle size as well as the formation of a conductive rGO network in the composite after ball milling.

Objectives: To address the high surface roughness and poor optical properties of three-dimensional (3D) printed orthodontic clear retainers, an alternative post-processing protocol was investigated with the goal of achieving improved surface, optical, and mechanical properties while preserving dimensional accuracy.
Materials And Methods: Samples were prepared from two biocompatible methacrylate-based 3D-printing resins (Formlabs Dental LT Clear V2, NextDent OrthoFlex) and one thermoplastic material (Duran). For the 3D-printed resins, one group was post-processed by rinsing in isopropyl alcohol, while another group was centrifuged before post-curing in glycerine.

Spinel lithium manganese oxide (LiMnO, LMO) is a promising cathode material with nontoxicity, high operating voltage, and low cost. However, structural collapse during battery cycling ─ caused by Mn dissolution and the Jahn-Teller effect ─ is a critical disadvantage, reducing cycle retention, particularly at high temperatures. In this study, to solve these critical issues, we introduce Cu(HITP) (CuHITP; HITP = 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaiminotriphenylene), a conductive two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic framework (MOF) as a surface coating material.

CsCuI is considered a promising material for lead-free resistive switching (RS) memory devices due to its low operating voltage, high on/off ratio, and excellent thermal and environmental stability. However, conventional lead-free halide-based RS memory devices typically require solvent-based thin-film formation processes that involve toxic organic and acidic solvents, and the effects of process conditions on device performance are often not fully understood. This study investigates the effect of crystallinity on CsCuI-based RS memory devices fabricated thermal evaporation.

Pushing the limit of the charging cut-off voltage inevitably leads to the instability of bulk and interfacial structures. Herein, one-step dual-modified LiCoO (LCO) is achieved by thermodynamic decomposition of lithiuim salts on the surface, featuring F-doped bulk and LiF & LiBO coating layers. Notably, such artificial near-surface reconfiguration effectively suppresses Co dissolution, structural deconstruction and electrolyte side reactions during repeated lithiation/delithiation processes.
