Revealing the Rate-Limiting Li-Ion Diffusion Pathway in Ultrathick Electrodes for Li-Ion Batteries
Increasing the loading of active materials by thickening the battery electrode coating can enhance the energy density of a Li-ion cell, but the trade-off is the much reduced Li+ transport kinetics. To reach the optimum energy and power density for thick electrodes, the effective chemical diffusion coefficient of Li+ ( DLi) must be maximized.

Direct Operando Observation of Double Layer Charging and Early SEI Formation in Li-Ion Battery Electrolytes [PDF]
The solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is one of the most critical, yet least understood, components to guarantee a stable, long-lived and safe operation of the Li-ion cell.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Shear Thickening, Star-Shaped Polymer Electrolytes for Lithium-Ion Batteries
The safety concerns associated with current lithium-ion batteries are a significant drawback. A short-circuit within the battery’s internal components, such as those caused by a car accident, can lead to ignition or even explosion. To address this issue,

EXTENDED LIFETIME AND INCREASED ENERGY DENSITY STUDIES FOR LI-ION CELLS
Strategies to improve Li-ion cells involve decreasing cost, increasing lifetime, increasing energy density, and increasing safety. This thesis presents work from two studies aimed at extending cell lifetime and improving Li-ion cell energy density.

Golgi enzymes are retrieved from the plasma membrane to the trans‐Golgi network
Golgi enzymes are traditionally considered resident proteins retained within the Golgi apparatus. Here, we demonstrate that a subset transiently reaches the cell surface and is subsequently retrieved to the trans‐Golgi network via retrograde transport. Using a nanobody‐based toolkit, we uncover a dynamic trafficking cycle of several Golgi enzymes.

Synthesis and Characterization of Li-C Nanocomposite for Easy and Safe Handling
Metallic lithium (Li) anode batteries have attracted considerable attention due to their high energy density value. However, metallic Li is highly reactive and flammable, which makes Li anode batteries difficult to develop.

A HIGH PRECISION STUDY OF LI-ION BATTERIES
Undesired reactions in Li-ion batteries, which lead to capacity loss, can consume or produce charge at either the positive or negative electrode. For example, the formation and repair of the solid electrolyte interphase consumes Li+ and e- at the ...
