TL;DR: In this paper, a new class of supercapacitors based on nanocrystalline vanadium nitride is reported, which can deliver an impressive specific capacitance of 1340 F g when tested at a scan rate of 2 mV s.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a comprehensive review of the development of nonaqueous nucleophilic/non-nucleophilic liquid electrolytes, ionic liquid based polymer as well as solid/gel polymer electrolytes; intercalation/insertion/conversion type cathodes; metallic magnesium and their alloys/intermetallic/composites as anodes; and electronically conductive but chemically and electrochemically inert current collectors for magnesium battery.

TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis of novel 1D heterostructures comprising vertically aligned multi-wall CNTs (VACNTs) containing nanoscale amorphous/nanocrystalline Si droplets was reported.

TL;DR: The properties of amorphous 250 nm and 1 μm silicon films deposited by radiofrequency (RF) magnetron sputtering on copper foil are investigated using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electrochemical methods as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the synthesis of 1D heterostructures comprising vertically aligned multiwall CNTs (VACNTs) containing nanoscale amorphous/nanocrystalline Si droplets deposited directly on VACNT with clearly defined spacing using a simple two-step liquid injection CVD process.
