Beyond Imperfect Match: Silicon/Graphite Hybrid Anodes for High‐Energy–Density Lithium‐Ion Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, Volume 16, Issue 10, 11 March 2026.
Silicon/graphite (Si/Gr) hybrid anodes are limited by Si's large volume change and mismatch with Gr. This review offers mechanistic insights into imperfectly matched Si/Gr hybrid anodes, elucidating heterogeneous lithiation behavior and interfacial failure pathways, and thereby informing the design of durable, high‐energy–density lithium‐ion batteries.

A Standardized Framework for Elastomer Characterization in Soft Robotics

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
A unified framework addresses inconsistent elastomer property reporting which limits reproducibility and standardization in soft robotics. Systematic testing of ten elastomers (thermosetting, thermoplastic, and a covalent adaptable network) provides quasielastic mechanical properties, viscoelastic parameters, thermal stability, and processing ...
