TL;DR: Li et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed an ether-based localized high-concentration electrolyte that can greatly enhance the stability of a Ni-rich LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co 0.1O2 (NMC811) cathode.

TL;DR: The results reveal that LMR cathodes prepared by coprecipitation and sol-gel methods, which are dominated by a LiMO2 type R3̅m structure, show significant nonuniform Ni distribution at particle surfaces, while those prepared by a hydrothermal assisted method with uniform atomic level spatial distribution demonstrate much better capacity retention and much smaller voltage fade.

TL;DR: An operando mass spectrometry technique is presented, along with molecular dynamics simulations, that unveils the evolution of the solid–electrolyte interphase chemistry and structure in lithium-ion batteries during the first cycle.

TL;DR: The question of stability against diffusional mixing at the prototypical LaAlO3/SrTiO3(001) interface is explored using a multi-faceted experimental and theoretical approach as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: It is revealed that the surfactant polyvinylpyrrolidone preferentially adsorbs along the nanoprism perimeter and serves as a photochemical relay to direct the anisotropic growth of gold nanoprisms.
