TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors developed an electrolyte strategy to enable the use of commercially available microsized alloys, such as Si-Li, as high-performance battery anodes, and demonstrated that a rationally designed electrolyte (2.0 M LiPF6 in 1:1 v/v mixture of tetrahydrofuran and 2-methyltetrahydroidfuran) enables 100 cycles of full cells that contain microsized Si, Al and Bi anodes with commercial LiFePO4 and LiNi0.8Co

TL;DR: Not only the atomic morphology of the flux-closure quadrant but also a periodic array of flux closures in ferroelectric PbTiO3 films, mediated by tensile strain on a GdScO3 substrate are observed.

TL;DR: The authors developed a diffusion-induced stress model to understand the origin of the planar gliding and propose ways to stabilize these nickel-rich cathodes in working batteries, providing clues to mitigate particle fracture from synthesis modifications.

TL;DR: In this article, a facile synthesis of freestanding triangular-shaped two-dimensional Cu nanosheets that selectively expose the (111) surface was reported, which exhibited an acetate Faradaic efficiency of 48% in a 2'M KOH electrolyte.

TL;DR: It is found that retarded surface transport of Li plays a decisive role in the subsequent deposition morphology and Lithium whisker growth can be suppressed under mechanical constraints, as revealed by an experimental set-up combining an environmental transmission electron microscope and an atomic force microscope.
