TL;DR: In this paper, size-controlled and coated magnetite nanoparticles with glucose and gluconic acid have been successfully synthesized via a simple and facile hydrothermal reduction route using a single iron precursor, FeCl3, and a combination of the inherent chemical reduction capability of sucrose decomposition products and their inorganic coordinating ability.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the relationship between Coulombic efficiency (ICE) and energy density can be found in this paper, where a detailed assessment of the reasons of the initial capacity loss (low ICE) for various types of anode materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, a honeycomb-like, nitrogen-rich, hierarchically porous, and highly disordered carbonaceous material (N-HC) with an expanded interlayer distance (0.44 nm in average) is synthesized by spray drying and subsequent pyrolysis under flowing NH3.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple one-pot solvothermal method of a FeS2/CNT (carbon nanotube) neural network nanostructure composite was proposed for rechargeable sodium-ion batteries.

TL;DR: The size and shape of the container body in conjunction with simply modifying the container opening accessibility can be used to control the escape rate of water and other gas-phase byproducts in the calcination process, and subsequently affect the nanocrystal growth of the materials inside the mesopore space of the template.
