A Cyclic {NiII8DyIII4} Cluster Where the DyIII Moments Are Organized by the Transition Metal Spins

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The synthesis, structural characterisation, and magnetic properties of a cyclic Ni8Dy4 coordination cluster are reported. Ab initio CASSCF and DFT calculations help rationalize the shape of the microSQUID hysteresis and the competing magnetic interactions within the compound. ABSTRACT A series of [Ni8Ln4(CO3)4(L)8(NO3)2(H2O)8 (MeOH)4](NO3)2 (Ln = Dy (1)

One‐Step Synthesis of Si–Graphene Heterostructures via in‐Flight Gas‐Phase Mixing for High‐Capacity Silicon‐Rich Anodes

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A one‐step gas‐phase synthesis directly assembles amorphous Si nanoparticles with few‐layer graphene heterostructures via in‐flight mixing. Compositions with only 15 wt.% FLG deliver ~2800 mAh g−1 (Si + FLG) at 0.05 C and retain ~1400 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles at a high cycling rate of 1 C, enabled by a percolated, strain‐buffering graphene network that
