Wide binary stars in the Galactic field : a statistical approach [PDF]

, 2010
This thesis focuses on the statistical properties of wide binary (WB) star systems in the Galactic field. With projected separations larger than 200 AU and, consequently, having very low binding energies, WB are sensitive probes of the Galactic ...

Functionalizing Micro‐to‐Mesoscopic Electrode Architectures for Regulating Electron Transfer Behaviors in Electrocatalysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A systematic review is conducted to assess the influence of electrode architecture across micro‐ to mesoscopic length scales on electron‐transfer pathways in electrocatalysis. We discuss the structure‐activity relationships in electrocatalytic applications, including resource recovery and environmental remediation, and provide cost‐effective, efficient

An All-sky Survey of White Dwarf Merger Remnants: Far-Ultraviolet Is the Key

The Astrophysical Journal
The majority of merging white dwarfs leave behind a white dwarf remnant. Hot/warm DQ white dwarfs with carbon-rich atmospheres have high masses and unusual kinematics. All evidence points to a merger origin.

Spatially Regulated Lithium Plating via Li2O‐Rich Interphase Enables Durable Fast‐Charging Hybrid Lithium Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A Li2O‐rich solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is engineered on graphite through a propylene carbonate‐based electrolyte to spatially regulate Li plating. The homogeneous interphase lowers Li nucleation barriers, promotes conformal Li deposition around graphite particles, and suppresses dendritic accumulation, enabling durable hybrid Li‐ion/Li‐metal ...

A study of U Aquarii and the nucleosynthesis of neutrons and S-process elements in evolved stars of low mass [PDF]

, 2014
The origin of the extreme hydrogen deficiency observed in the R Coronae Borealis (RCrB) stars remains poorly understood. A likely mechanism for producing this deficiency is one whereby the original hydrogen envelope of the star is engulfed and ...

TESS Light Curves of Cataclysmic Variables. VI. Intermediate Polars

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
The long and (almost) continuous high-cadence light curves provided by the TESS space mission are ideally suited to study in detail brightness variations in stellar sources on the broad range of timescales between minutes and months.

DQ white-dwarf stars with low C abundance: Possible progenitors [PDF]

, 2019
Aims. The present paper focuses on the evolution of hydrogen-deficient white dwarfs with the aim of exploring the consequences of different initial envelope structures on the carbon abundances expected in helium-rich, carbon-contaminated DQ white dwarfs.

Disentangling Bulk and Surface Contributions to Charge and Discharge Fading in High‐Voltage LiCoO2

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
High‐voltage operation of LiCoO2 accelerates capacity fading through bulk and surface degradation. By introducing a LiTaO3 coating to selectively suppress surface degradation, bulk and surface contributions to charge and discharge fading are decoupled.

Reconstructing Residual‐Solvent‐Involved Li+ Coordination in PVDF‐HFP Polymer Electrolytes for Stable Lithium Metal Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
2,2,2‐trifluoroethanamide‐mediated coordination regulation reconstructs the local Li+ environment in PVDF‐HFP polymer electrolytes by weakening residual DMF‐dominated coordination and promoting TFSI−‐involved anion‐rich solvation. This strategy facilitates Li+ migration and interfacial desolvation, promotes the formation of a thin inorganic‐rich SEI ...
