Chemomechanics is an old subject, yet its importance has been revived in rechargeable
batteries where the mechanical energy and damage associated with redox reactions can …

This is a review of atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis as applied to the study of
molecular materials. The PDF method is a powerful approach to study short-and …

Abstract Rechargeable aqueous Zn‐VOx batteries are attracting attention in large scale
energy storage applications. Yet, the sluggish Zn2+ diffusion kinetics and ambiguous …

Earth-abundant, acid-stable catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction are essential for
terawatt-scale hydrogen production using proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysers …

Heterogeneous catalysis in thermal gas-phase and electrochemical liquid-phase chemical
conversion plays an important role in our modern energy landscape. However, many of the …

The fact that ordered materials are rarely perfectly crystalline is widely acknowledged
among materials scientists, but its impact is often overlooked or underestimated when …

The capacity degredation in layered Ni-rich LiNi x Co y Mn z O2 (x≥ 0.8) cathode largely
originated from drastic surface reactions and intergranular cracks in polycrystalline particles …

Iron-and manganese-based layered metal oxides, as cathodes for sodium ion batteries,
have received widespread attention because of the low cost and high specific capacity …

The lifetime of Li-ion batteries (LIBs) is highly dependent on the imperceptible
physical/chemical changes/reactions that occur on/between the electrodes and electrolyte …

Zeolites, Prussian blue analogues (PBAs), and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) rely on
surface-like internal pore diffusions, which have generically low activation barriers to enable …
