TL;DR: This work reports the first scalable synthesis of amorphous NiFeMo oxide (up to 515 grams one batch) with homogeneous elemental distribution via a facile supersaturated co-precipitation method, which opens up the potential of fast, facile and scale-up production ofAmorphous metal oxides for high-performance OER catalysts.

TL;DR: A facile ion-catalyzed synthesis of a phenol-formaldehyde resin-based hard-carbon aerogel that takes advantage of the chelation effect of phenol and Fe3+, which consists of a three-dimensionally interconnected carbon network embedded with hydrogen-rich, ordered microstructures of expanded nanographites and carbon micropores proves its feasibility to serve as an advanced anode material for high-energy rechargeable Li/Na batteries.

TL;DR: The SiOx nanoparticles are closely wrapped in multilayered graphene to reconstruct a flake-graphite-like macrostructure, which promises uniform and agglomeration-free distribution of SiOx in the carbon while ensures a high mechanical strength and a high tap density of the composite.

TL;DR: In this paper, a mechanically resilient organic/inorganic composite aerogel with a thermal conductivity significantly lower than expanded polystyrene and excellent fire resistance was reported, which can resist a high temperature flame without disintegration and prevents the temperature on the nonexposed side from increasing above the temperature critical for the collapse of reinforced concrete structures.

TL;DR: A novel strategy for large-scale fabrication of a family of bioinspired polymeric woods with similar polyphenol matrix materials, wood-like cellular microstructures, and outstanding comprehensive performance by a self-assembly and thermocuring process of traditional resins is demonstrated.
