Home > Press > Lithiophilic seeds and rigid arrays synergistic induced dendrite-free and stable Li anode towards long-life lithium-oxygen batteries The enhanced lithiophilic properties and the rigid array structure of Al2O3-CNTA/3DG synergistically induce dendrite-free and stable Li anode. The LOBs full battery assembled with the Al2O3-CNTA/3DG-Li anode and CNTA/3DG cathode...

Jul 22, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Emissions of greenhouse gases contribute significantly to global warming. Not only carbon dioxide (CO2) but also fluorine-containing gases – including so-called per- or polyfluorinated hydrocarbons, or PFCs – have a significant share in this development. Researchers at the Institute of Organic Chemistry of Heidelberg University...

Jul 22, 2022 (Nanowerk News) An international team of 23 researchers led by Maria Dainotti, Assistant Professor at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ), has analyzed archive data for powerful cosmic explosions from the deaths of stars and found a new way to measure distances in the distant Universe...

Jul 22, 2022 (Nanowerk News) About a decade ago, deep-learning models started achieving superhuman results on all sorts of tasks, from beating world-champion board game players to outperforming doctors at diagnosing breast cancer. These powerful deep-learning models are usually based on artificial neural networks, which were first proposed in the...

Jul 22, 2022 (Nanowerk News) An interdisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham have developed a new plasma-enabled process that could limit the proliferation of toxins from implants into a patient’s bloodstream. The team, led by Vinoy Thomas, Ph.D., associate professor in the UAB School of...

Jul 22, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Chemical modification of single-walled carbon nanotubes is a critical step to exploit their properties. Either the covalent modification or the supramolecular functionalization of their surface has resulted in nanotube products with application in, for example, optical sensing and electronics. Other modifications, such as the mechanical...

Jul 22, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A first-of-its-kind sprayable coating that can prevent the surface spread of infection from bacteria and viruses - including COVID-19 - over a sustained period –– has been developed by a team of Australian researchers. Described in the journal Advanced Science ("Shielding Surfaces from Viruses and...
