TL;DR: Large-area free-standing ultrathin single-crystalline Si at the wafer scale as new Si materials with processability are demonstrated and it is highlighted that the processability on both sides of surface together with the interesting property of thesefree-standing Ultrathin Si materials opens up exciting opportunities to generate novel functional devices different from the existing approaches.

TL;DR: The stability of lithium batteries is tied to physicochemical properties of the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) as discussed by the authors, and due to the difficulty in characterizing this sensitive interphase, the nano...

TL;DR: A TiO2-based composite electrode able to deliver an outstandingly stability over cycles and to expose the most favorable nanocrystal facets to the electrolyte and to the conductive wrapping agent (graphene) is demonstrated, overcoming the intrinsic limits of anatase transport properties.

TL;DR: In this paper, a quinone derivative with tailored properties (e.g., oxidation potential, solubility, and electrochemical stability) is added to an electrolyte as a redox mediator.

TL;DR: In this paper, a carbothermic reduction method was used to fabricate ultrafine red phosphorus particles embedded in a three-dimensional carbon framework, in which numerous interconnected nanopores were generated accompanied by the carbonization of polyethylene glycol.
