Transition metal sulfides have great potential for sodium storage due to their high theoretical capacity and abundance. However, low conductivity and volume expansion limit their high-rate performance and cyclic stability.
A recent study describes a novel thermal control system using a lightweight multifunctional nanobarrier structure (MFNS) that could revolutionize how thermal control is managed in spacecraft.
A recent study published in the journal Nano Letters examines graphene's viability as a conducting neural surface capable of promoting cellular adhesion, nerve branching, and expansion.
A recent study published in the journal ACS Nano tackles this problem by doing a meta-analysis to determine the overall severity of nanoplastic effects on terrestrial plants.
Sodium-ion batteries and supercapacitors are used in many portable and large-scale energy storage applications as alternatives to lithium-ion batteries because of their low cost and non-toxicity.
