Extending the low-temperature operation of sodium metal batteries combining linear and cyclic ether-based electrolyte solutions

Nature Communications, 2022
The low-temperature operation of non-aqueous sodium-based batteries is affected by the properties of the electrolyte. Here the authors propose specific electrolyte formulations that are thermally stable down to −150 °C and enable a stable electrode ...

Switchable Imbibition in Nanoporous Gold

, 2014
Spontaneous imbibition enables the elegant propelling of nano-flows because of the dominance of capillarity at small length scales. The imbibition kinetics are, however, solely determined by the static geometry of the porous host, the capillarity, and ...

In-situ X-ray spectroscopy of the electric double layer around TiO2 nanoparticles dispersed in aqueous solution: Implications for H2 generation [PDF]

, 2019
We report an experimental observation of a significant amount of hydroxide (OH–) created upon water dissociation and subsequently trapped around TiO2 nanoparticles dispersed in NH4OH aqueous solution. The hydroxide species is identified and quantified by

Copper Nanocrystallization in Anodic Oxide Films of Ti–Cu‐Based Bulk Metallic Glass and Its Effect on the Corrosion Resistance and Cytocompatibility

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Viktoriia Shtefan, Thorgund Nemec, Ute Hempel, Annett Gebert and coworkers demonstrate that anodic treatment of Ti–Cu‐based metallic glass in a nontoxic pyrophosphate electrolyte forms a protective bilayered Ti/Zr‐oxide film enriched with Cu nanocrystals.
