Lithium-coated polymeric matrix as a minimum volume-change and dendrite-free lithium metal anode

Lithium metal is a promising anode for batteries, but problems such as volume change and dendrite growth currently prevent it from practical usage. Here, the authors overcome these problems by infusing molten lithium into a polymeric matrix via a lithiophilic coating to make a stable nanoporous lithium electrode.

Fast galvanic lithium corrosion involving a Kirkendall-type mechanism

Developing a stable metallic lithium anode is necessary for next-generation batteries; however, lithium is prone to corrosion, a process that must be better understood if practical devices are to be created. A Kirkendall-type mechanism of lithium corrosion has now been observed. The corrosion is fast and is governed by a galvanic process.

Solubility-mediated sustained release enabling nitrate additive in carbonate electrolytes for stable lithium metal anode

The solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) is one of the governing factors for the reversibility of Li metal anode. Here, the authors reveal the impact of nitrate additive on the SEI in carbonate electrolytes, and demonstrate a method to overcome the solubility limitation of nitrate.

The ultra-thin, minimally invasive surface electrode array NeuroWeb for probing neural activity

Minimal invasiveness and robust signal detection are required in neural probes. Here, the authors develop NeuroWeb, an ultra-thin, minimally invasive surface electrode array. In vivo electrophysiological and optogenetic experiments show single-unit activity of neurons with high signal-to-noise ratio.

Enhancing ionic conductivity in composite polymer electrolytes with well-aligned ceramic nanowires

Fast ionic conductivity of solid electrolytes is a must in the development of next-generation solid-electrolyte-based lithium-ion batteries. Here the authors report that composite polymer electrolytes with well-aligned inorganic nanowires can achieve much larger conductivities than those without.

High-efficiency oxygen reduction to hydrogen peroxide catalysed by oxidized carbon materials

The direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide via oxygen reduction is an attractive alternative to the anthraquinone process. Here, a general trend linking oxygenation of carbon surfaces with electrocatalytic performance in peroxide synthesis is demonstrated, and computational studies provide further insight into the nature of the active sites.

Fast lithium growth and short circuit induced by localized-temperature hotspots in lithium batteries

Operation of lithium batteries at high, non-uniform temperatures can lead to safety issues, but the effects of localized high temperatures are difficult to probe. Here the authors use micro-Raman spectroscopy to show that local-temperature hotspots can induce lithium metal growth and trigger circuit shorting.
