Deciphering the Interactions of Carbon Nanotubes and Super P with Silicon and Graphite Active Materials in Silicon‐Graphite Negative Electrode‐Based Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Although defect‐rich Multi‐walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) are generally associated with reduced electronic conductivity, our findings uncover a different role: they act as interfacial mediators in Silicon (Si) negative electrode‐based lithium‐ion batteries. Their defect sites and surface functional groups reinforce particle contact, markedly boosting

Comprehensive Genetic Map of Muscle Lipidome Reveals Novel Insights Into Flavor Variation in Ruminant Meat

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ruminant meat is widely appreciated for its distinctive flavor. Lipids play a central role in influencing meat flavor, yet their genetic and biochemical basis remains largely unexplored. Here, a comprehensive lipid genetic map of sheep muscle is constructed and 20 candidate genes potentially modulating lipid levels are identified to provide a roadmap ...
