Designing porous and stable Au coating Ni nanosheets based Ni foam for quasi-symmetric polymer Li–air Batteries

Li–air cells have aroused intense interest because of ultra-high specific energy, but their practical application is still hindered by many problems, such as slurry reaction kinetics and serious parasitic reaction...

Tungsten carbide layers deposited on graphite substrates via a wet powder process as anti-parasitic-reaction coatings for reactor components in GaN growth

Catalytic tungsten carbide coatings provide multi-functional (w/ anti-parasitic-reaction and protective functions) reactor components for growth of large GaN crystals.

A study on the interfacial stability of the cathode/polycarbonate interface: implication of overcharge and transition metal redox

In this work, we reported an unusual charge compensation through the parasitic reaction of polycarbonate, a high ionic conductivity polymer electrolyte, with transition metal ions (iron ions in LiFePO4) at cathodic interface, which leads to significant overcharge.
