TL;DR: High-resolution multinuclear/multidimensional solid-state NMR techniques are used with in situ synchrotron-based techniques to study the prototype conversion material RuO2, demonstrating a protocol for studying the structure and spatial proximities of nanostructures formed in this system, including the amorphous solid electrolyte interphase that grows on battery electrodes.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate the formation of a nonequilibrium solid solution phase, LixFePO4 (0 < x < 1), during high-rate cycling, with compositions that span the entire composition between two thermodynamic phases, LiFe PO4 and FePO4.

TL;DR: A new strategy to achieve reversible Mg2+ and Al3+ insertion in anatase TiO2 is demonstrated, achieved through aliovalent doping, to introduce a large number of titanium vacancies that act as intercalation sites.

TL;DR: Variable temperature 23Na NMR experiments reveal significant sodium mobility within c-Na3Sb; this is a possible contributing factor to the excellent rate performance of Sb anodes and is linked to the different reactivity of these networks.

TL;DR: The AMPIX cell as mentioned in this paper enables experiments providing greater insight into the complex processes that occur in operating batteries by allowing the electrochemical reactions to be probed at fine reaction intervals with greater consistency with potential for new time-dependent kinetic studies or studies of transient species.
