In this work, we investigated the effect of the network structure (intermediate-range structure), which is considered to form Li+ conduction pathways, on the electrode properties of TiNb2O7. To this end, we prepared TiNb2O7 samples with different charge/discharge properties and generated atomic configurations that simultaneously reproduce both total scattering and Bragg profile data. Topological analyses based on persistent homology demonstrated that the network disorder hidden in the average structure (crystal structure) significantly degrades the negative electrode properties. In conclusion, controlling the network topology is considered the key to improving the negative electrode properties of TiNb2O7. In recent years, the need for safer and more efficient rechargeable batteries has grown due to the increasing use of renewable energy. Traditional lithium-ion batteries have safety risks, such as catching fire, especially when charged quickly. Researchers are exploring new materials to improve battery safety and performance. They studied a material called TiNb2O7, which could be a safer alternative for battery electrodes. Researchers prepared TiNb2O7 using different methods and tested its performance in batteries. They used advanced techniques to analyze the material’s structure at the atomic level. This study focused on how the arrangement of atoms affects the battery’s ability to store and release energy. The results showed TiNb2O7 has potential as a battery electrode, offering good capacity and safety. The study concluded that understanding the atomic structure can guide the development of better battery materials.

One-dimensional (1D) materials with intrinsic anisotropy, capable of directly sensing polarized light, are promising for such photodetectors. NbTe4, a quasi-1D transition metal tetra-chalcogenide, offers significant benefits for polarization-sensitive photodetection due to its structural anisotropy. Nonetheless, to date, the anisotropic properties of 1D NbTe4 have not been reported. Herein, NbTe4 nanobelts were synthesized via mechanical exfoliation from needle-like bulk crystals, and their anisotropic and optoelectronic properties were comprehensively studied. Angle-resolved polarized Raman spectroscopy, in conjunction with azimuth-dependent reflectance difference microscopy, confirmed that 1D NbTe₄ exhibits intrinsic structural and in-plane optical anisotropy. The 1D NbTe4 device demonstrated characteristic anisotropic photodetection behavior, achieving dichroic ratios of 1.16 at 671 nm and 1.25 at 1064 nm. Meanwhile, the device exhibits a pronounced photothermoelectric effect, conferring a broad spectral photoresponse ranging from visible to near-infrared wavelengths (532-1064 nm), with a rapid response time of 158 ms. This study demonstrates that NbTe4 inherently possesses in-plane anisotropy, making it a promising candidate for polarization-sensitive photodetection applications.

Employing a combination of X-ray absorption linear dichroism and valence band measurements, we demonstrate that strain can alter the intrinsic band structure anisotropy of metallic VO2. Our findings reveal that reducing the thickness of VO2 films leads to a more isotropic band structure. This observation is further supported by an analysis of the electronic population redistribution in the $${d}_{{||}}{-}{pi }^{* }$$ bands, which affects the screening length and induces effective mass renormalization. Overall, our results underscore the potential of strain manipulation in tailoring the electronic structure uniformity of thin films, thereby expanding the scope for engineering VO2 functionalities. In this article we studied the evolution of band anisotropy in strained VO2(101) thin films. We found out that strain works as a control agent for the anisotropy and thus controls the features of VO2 bands structure. For this crystal orientation a large strain corresponds to a more homogeneous electronic structure of VO2. This impacts the electrons population redistribution between d|| and π bands, the screening length and the effective mass. By controlling the anisotropy and the band structure properties our results can ease the integration of VO2 into complex electronics.","PeriodicalId":19382,"journal":{"name":"Npg Asia Materials","volume":"16 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41427-024-00576-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143187390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, IoT sensors need to be battery-free to realistically manage and maintain the growing number of available sensing devices. Here, we provide a novel sensor design approach that employs metasurfaces to enable multifunctional sensing without requiring an external power source. Importantly, unlike existing metasurface-based sensors, our metasurfaces can sense multiple physical parameters even at a fixed frequency by breaking classic harmonic oscillations in the time domain, making the proposed sensors viable for usage with limited frequency resources. Moreover, we provide a method for predicting physical parameters via the machine learning-based approach of random forest regression. The sensing performance was confirmed by estimating the temperature and light intensity, and excellent determination coefficients larger than 0.96 were achieved. Our study affords new opportunities for sensing multiple physical properties without relying on an external power source or requiring multiple frequencies, which markedly simplifies and facilitates the design of next-generation wireless communication systems. Metasurface-based sensors provide a battery-free sensing solution for maintaining numerous IoT devices with little human resources. However, the conventional method exploited resonant mechanisms associated with multiple physical parameters through different frequencies, although available frequencies were strictly limited. We report the first sensor design approach using circuit-based metasurfaces that offer a higher degree of freedom to design time-varying scattering profiles associated with multiple physical properties at a single frequency.

Ni-rich layered cathodes are benchmark materials for traditional LIBs owing to their high energy density. Recent studies have highlighted the advantages of using crack-free, single-crystalline cathode materials in ASSBs. In this study, a scalable infiltration sheet-type process was used to fabricate composite electrodes with different cathode-material morphologies for ASSBs. Typically, crack-free single-crystalline materials exhibit better retention performance and lower rate capability (i.e., slower kinetics in charge‒discharge processes) than polycrystalline cathode materials. Li6PS5Cl-infiltrated polycrystalline electrodes showed excellent retention performance and rate capability. Galvanostatic intermittent titration technique analysis and transmission electron microscopy of the single-crystalline electrode confirmed severe polarization and the presence of a rock-salt-structure layer in the cathode particles; these results indicated side reactions within the layered structure of the material. In contrast, composite electrodes consisting of polycrystalline cathode materials infiltrated with the solid electrolyte Li6PS5Cl showed excellent electrochemical performance owing to intimate electrode–electrolyte interfacial contact. The result from this study confirmed the critical influence of interface engineering and material morphology on the overall performance and stability of ASSBs and could facilitate the development of high-performance ASSBs in the future.

However, these compounds decompose in an air atmosphere and become inactive, which leads to difficulty in handling. Here, we focused on perovskite oxynitrides as air-stable and efficient supports for ammonia decomposition catalysts. Ni-loaded oxynitrides exhibited 2.5–18 times greater catalytic activity than did the corresponding oxide-supported Ni catalysts, even without noticeable differences in the Ni particle size and surface area of the supports. The catalytic performance of the Ni-loaded oxynitrides is well correlated with the nitrogen desorption temperature during N2 temperature-programmed desorption, which suggests that the lattice nitrogen in the oxynitride support rather than the Ni surface is the active site for ammonia decomposition. Furthermore, NH3 temperature-programmed surface reactions and density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that NH3 molecules are preferentially adsorbed on the nitrogen vacancy sites on the support surface rather than on the Ni surface. Thus, the ammonia decomposition reaction is facilitated by a vacancy-mediated reaction mechanism. Oxynitride-supported Ni catalysts exhibit much higher activity than oxide-supported Ni catalysts for ammonia decomposition reaction. Ammonia is activated at nitrogen vacancy sites on the surface of oxynitride in close vicinity to the supported Ni nanoparticles rather than on the Ni surface, and therefore the catalytic performance is dominated by ease of nitrogen vacancy formation on the catalyst surface.","PeriodicalId":19382,"journal":{"name":"Npg Asia Materials","volume":"16 1","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41427-024-00572-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143187395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
