Metal/nitrogen‐doped carbons (M− N− C) are promising candidates as oxygen
electrocatalysts due to their low cost, tunable catalytic activity and selectivity, and well …

X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is an electronic absorption technique for which the
initial state is a deeply buried core level. The photon energies corresponding to such …

Enamel is the hardest and most resilient tissue in the human body. Enamel includes
morphologically aligned, parallel,∼ 50 nm wide, microns-long nanocrystals, bundled either …

The present study sheds light on the long-standing challenges associated with high-voltage
operation of LiNixMnxCo1− 2xO2 cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Using …

Do corals form their skeletons by precipitation from solution or by attachment of amorphous
precursor particles as observed in other minerals and biominerals? The classical model …

The solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) that forms on Li-ion battery anodes is critical to their
long-term performance, however observing SEI formation processes at the buried electrode …

Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is abundant on Earth, is a major component of marine
biominerals and thus of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks and it plays a major role in the …

The electron occupancy of 3d-orbitals determines the properties of transition metal oxides.
This can be achieved, for example, through thin-film heterostructure engineering of AB O3 …

The development of earth‐abundant catalysts for selective electrochemical CO2 conversion
is a central challenge. Cu Sn bimetallic catalysts can yield selective CO2 reduction toward …

Ni-rich lithium nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) oxide cathode materials promise Li-ion
batteries with increased energy density and lower cost. However, higher Ni content is …
