TL;DR: The fundamental photoluminescence properties of individual, isolated indium phosphide nanowires were characterized to define their potential for optoelectronics and create polarization-sensitive nanoscale photodetectors that may prove useful in integrated photonic circuits, optical switches and interconnects, near-field imaging, and high-resolution detectors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors outline three fundamental materials challenges associated with large volume change, and then show how nanostructured materials design can successfully address these challenges, which can also be extended to other battery materials that undergo large volume changes.

TL;DR: Liu et al. as mentioned in this paper discuss crucial conditions needed to achieve a specific energy higher than 350 Wh kg−1, up to 500 Wh kg −1, for rechargeable Li metal batteries using high-nickel-content lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxides as cathode materials.

TL;DR: In this review, recent developments on nanostructured sulfur cathodes and mechanisms behind their operation are presented and discussed and progress on novel characterization of sulfurCathodes is summarized, as it has deepened the understanding of sulfur cathode and will guide further rational design of sulfur electrodes.

TL;DR: High capacity, long cycle life, high efficiency, and high Coulombic efficiency have been realized in this yolk-shell structured Si electrode.
