Synergistic π‐π and π‐d Interactions Between Carbon Nanotubes and Coordination Polymers Crafting Core‐Shell Nanostructured Cathode for High‐Performance Sodium‐Organic Batteries

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Ni‐DHBQ nanosheets are encapsulated around carbon nanotubes, resulting in a core‐shell layered heterostructure that enables high high‐throughput charge transfer. This unique architecture not only enhances electron transport efficiency but also significantly increases the density of redox‐active sites.

High‐Voltage Stability of LiCoO2 Cathode Materials Composited With Vanadium‐Based Glass Coatings

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Vanadium‐based glasses show fluidity and good wettability toward other materials at low temperatures. The controlled precipitation of nanocrystals in vanadium‐based glasses enhances the material's mechanical properties and electrical conductivity. The VPFL coatings bond to the LiCoO2 interface via chemical bonds.
