Systematic Study of PDMS Optical Waveguides for Pressure Sensing Using Design of Experiments
A response surface methodology was used to systematically evaluate the impact of mix ratio and cure conditions on PDMS optical waveguide properties for pressure sensing. Mix ratio significantly influenced compression sensitivity, compressive modulus, and propagation loss, while cure temperature primarily affected refractive index.

“Dead Lithium” Formation and Mitigation Strategies in Anode‐Free Li‐Metal Batteries
Anode‐free lithium metal batteries, though promising due to their high energy density, face challenges from dead lithium formation. “Dead lithium”, disconnected from the anode, causes capacity loss, increased resistance, and safety risks. This review explores the origins of dead lithium, its impact on battery performance, and potential strategies for ...
