Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancing I 0 /I ‐ conversion efficiency by starch confinement in zinc–iodine battery
TL;DR: In this article , the authors employed starch to confine the shuttling of polyiodide, and thus, the I0/I− conversion efficiency of an I2-Zn battery was clearly enhanced.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Metamaterial‐Plasmonic Scheme Based on a Random Metallic Network for Controlling Thermal Emission
Jiantao Kong,Tianyi Sun,Feng Cao,Yang Li,Jiming Bao,Jinwei Gao,Xin Wang,Guofu Zhou,Chuan Fei Guo,Zhifeng Ren,Krzysztof Kempa +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that a class of random three-layer structures, each consisting of an insulator layer sandwiched between a continuous metallic film on one side and a randomly perforated metal film on the other, strongly absorb electromagnetic radiation in a narrow band of frequencies (centered around 1μm wavelength) and are highly reflecting for frequencies below this band.
Journal ArticleDOI
Superconducting joining of YBCO coated conductors without a large critical current loss
TL;DR: In this paper, a superconducting joining between two YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) coated conductors (CCs) using a joining strap consisting of YBCO, Ag, a buffer, and a substrate is presented.
