TL;DR: The two-step solution-phase reactions to form hybrid materials of Mn(3)O(4) nanoparticles on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheets for lithium ion battery applications should offer a new technique for the design and synthesis of battery electrodes based on highly insulating materials.

TL;DR: It is shown that coating the lithium metal anode with a monolayer of interconnected amorphous hollow carbon nanospheres helps isolate the lithiumMetal depositions and facilitates the formation of a stable solid electrolyte interphase, indicating that nanoscale interfacial engineering could be a promising strategy to tackle the intrinsic problems of lithiumMetal anode cycling.

TL;DR: A composite lithium metal anode is reported that exhibits low dimension variation (∼20%) during cycling and good mechanical flexibility and a full-cell battery with a LiCoO2 cathode shows good rate capability and flat voltage profiles.

TL;DR: Using a printable aqueous gel electrolyte as well as an organic liquid electrolyte, the performances of the devices show very high energy and power densities which is comparable to performance in other SWCNT-based supercapacitor devices fabricated using different methods.

TL;DR: Wearable power devices using everyday textiles as the platform, with an extremely simple "dipping and drying" process using single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) ink, are described, which show outstanding flexibility and stretchability and demonstrate strong adhesion between the SWNTs and the textiles of interest.
