Operando X‐Ray Diffraction and Total Scattering Characterization of Battery Materials: Not Just a Pretty Picture

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This review focuses on operando studies of battery materials by X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and total X‐ray scattering (TXS). This work highlights potential pitfalls and identify best‐practices for operando studies and reviews some unusual experiments to illustrate how these methods can be applied beyond the evaluation of the early‐stage cycling mechanisms

Photolyzable Polymer Brushes: Subtractive 3D Structuring of Surfaces Using Water and Light

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Facile structuring of polymer brushes is achieved by flipping the process from controlled growth to controlled brush photolysis. Using surface‐initiated radical ring‐opening polymerization of cyclic monomers with photocleavable cyclobutane rings, photodegradable targets are embedded into the polymer chains. The enabled continuous subtractive patterning

Disorder‐Driven Fast Na+ Transport: From Crystalline to Amorphous Networks in the Mixed‐Anion NaTaOxCl6−2x Oxychlorides

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Oxygen substitution in NaTaOxCl6‐2x drives structural evolution from isolated [TaCl6]– octahedra, through oxygen‐bridged [Ta2OCl10]2– dimers, toward extended trans‐[TaO2Cl4]3– chain‐like arrangements. At intermediate compositions, zero‐dimensional corner‐sharing motifs are proposed to create a flexible, disordered framework that peaks ionic ...

A novel discontinuous-Galerkin deterministic neutronics model for fusion applications: development and benchmarking

Nuclear Fusion
Neutron interactions in a fusion power plant play a pivotal role in determining critical design parameters such as coil-plasma distance and breeding blanket composition. Fast predictive neutronic capabilities are therefore crucial for an efficient design

A Quantitative Lithium Inventory Framework for Anode‐Free Lithium Metal Batteries

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
A component‐resolved lithium inventory framework quantitatively tracks Li redistribution across the cell in anode‐free NMC622||Cu pouch cells throughout cycling. Three sequential degradation stages are identified: formation‐driven cathode Li depletion, midlife inactive Li0 accumulation, and late‐stage runaway SEI thickening. The cathode, as the sole Li

Hydrogels Under Superchaotropic Control: Polyoxometalate Stabilization and pH‐Responsive Crosslinking in Cellulose Ether Solutions

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Superchaotropic binding of Keggin polyoxometalates (POMs) to non‐ionic biopolymers like cellulose ethers (CEs) stabilizes otherwise hydrolytically unstable POMs in aqueous solution and allows conversion of pH‐nonresponsive polymers into pH‐responsive soft materials. The pH‐driven conversion from plenary to lacunary POMs switches superchaotropic binding
