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

Thermoresponsive Gel Polymer Electrolytes Enabled by Retained Double Bonds for Thermal Shutdown in Lithium‐Ion Batteries

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A smart gel electrolyte with thermal shutdown capability has been proposed enabled by a two‐step cross‐linking strategy, which preserves a high density of unreacted double bonds at room temperature. This strategy brings negligible degradation to room temperature electrochemical performance, while under thermal abuse conditions above 115 °C, the gel ...

Anion‐Synergistic Regulation of Solvation‐Layer Chemistry in Nonflammable Electrolytes Enables Highly Safe and Durable Sodium Metal Batteries

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study establishes a new anion‐synergistic solvation chemistry framework for directing interfacial reactions and stabilizing sodium metal anodes. Uncontrolled dendrite growth, accompanied by thermal runaway in sodium metal, remains a critical bottleneck for practical applications of sodium metal batteries (SMBs).

The genetic architecture of epilepsy across molecular mechanisms and clinical heterogeneity

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Epilepsy comprises a highly heterogeneous group of neurological disorders unified by a persistent predisposition to recurrent seizures, yet driven by remarkably diverse genetic, molecular, and network‐level mechanisms. Advances in genomic technologies have revealed that epilepsy arises from a multilayered genetic architecture encompassing rare
