TL;DR: A pure phase of VO2(B) nanorods have been synthesized through an energy-efficient microwave hydrothermal reaction and used as cathode materials of lithium ion batteries, which exhibit promising specific capacity and rate capacity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the crucial role of SR characterization in the development of advanced energy materials, and discuss the practical application strategies of SR techniques in batteries, including electrodes, electrolytes, and interfaces.

TL;DR: For the first time, MAX phases in the Hf-Al-C system were experimentally synthesized using reactive hot pressing and a transition in atomic structure is discussed.

TL;DR: The researchers sought to compare body composition and markers of insulin sensitivity in offspring of women with GDM randomized to metformin (plus supplemental insulin as required) or insulin to follow-up on the Metformin in Gestational diabetes (MiG) trial, which suffered from a lack of long-term offspring follow- up data.

TL;DR: A series ofLi2 S/transition metal (TM) nanocomposites are synthesized via a lithiothermic reduction reaction, and it is realized that the presence of TMs in Li2 S matrix can transform electrochemical behaviors of Li1 S, effectively addressing the drawbacks of Li2S cathodes.
