Rare Metals, Volume 42, Issue 11, Page 3718-3728, November 2023., 2023 Graphical abstract Abstract A flexible carbon fiber‐confined yolk‐shelled silicon‐based composite is reported as an anode material for lithium storage applications. Silicon nanoparticles (Si NPs) are confined by the N‐doped hollow carbon cages (Si‐NHC) and these uniform dispersed yolk‐shell‐structured Si‐NHC units were encapsulated by the carbon fibers

Factors that shape large‐scale gradients in clonality
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 827-837, May 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim Many plant species reproduce clonally. However, ecologists still have much to learn about the factors that shape large‐scale patterns in plant clonal growth and reproduction, especially in the southern hemisphere. We addressed this knowledge gap by quantifying relationships between reproductive mode and a suite of plant characteristics and

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Low conductivity, slow ion‐diffusion, and limited reactive sites are common problems in electrocatalysts and electrode materials. In this study, a complex NiTe–CoTe heterojunction with abundant Te vacancies embedded in N, P, and F co‐doped hollow carbon nanorods (NiTe1−x–CoTe1−x/NPFC) was fabricated via a simple ionic liquid‐assisted ...
