TL;DR: It is determined that acid activation and O2 plasma etching create an ITO surface that is still covered with an average of one to two monolayers of hydroxide, suggesting that these electroactive sites arise from near-surface tin enrichment.

TL;DR: Cathodes fabricated with the high sulfur content composites as the active material afforded Li-S cells that exhibited extended cycle lifetimes of up to 1000 cycles with low capacity decay and demonstrated exceptional rate capability with the delivery of reversible capacity up to 500 mAh/g at 5 C.

TL;DR: Key synthetic considerations are discussed, with particular emphasis on reporting isolated yields of all intermediates and products from scale up of intermediate precursors.

TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis of polythiophene segments into poly(sulfur-random-1,3-diisopropenylbenzene) is achieved by the inverse vulcanization of S8 with a styrenic functional 3,4-propylenedioxythiophene (ProDOT-Sty) and DIB, followed by electropolymerization of ProDOT side chains.
