Disentangling Multiscale Cation–Anion Dynamics in Li4(BH4)(NH2)3 Using Quasielastic Neutron Scattering [PDF]
Elucidating the interplay between anion dynamics and cation transport is essential for the rational design of solid‐state ionic conductors. Here, we investigate the relationship between local anion motion and long‐range Li+ transport in Li4(BH4)(NH2)3 by

Unravelling Electronic Structure and Molecular Vibrations of Proteins in Virus Using Novel Correlated Plasmon-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy With Machine Learning. [PDF]
A novel, non‐destructive, stable, direct technique, named correlated plasmon‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (CP‐ERS), which is based on a newly‐developed highly oriented single crystalline gold quantum dots (HOSG‐QDs) chip, is developed to measure and quantify molecular vibrations and electronic structure of analytes.

Correlated Polymer-Proton Hopping Enables Water-Independent Fast Proton Transport in Poly(Ionic Liquid) Membranes. [PDF]
A polymer chain in motion: backbone, ring, and counterion dynamics interlock across timescales to relay protons through poly(ionic liquid) membranes. ABSTRACT Polymer electrolyte membranes composed of ionic liquids (IL), capable of conducting protons efficiently at elevated temperatures, without external humidification, could transform fuel cell ...

Rational Design of Weakly-Solvating Molecules for Salt-In-Pre-Ionic-Liquid Electrolytes for Li Metal Batteries. [PDF]
The weakly‐solvating TFMSPyr electrolyte tailors the Li+ solvation structure by suppressing solvent coordination and promoting anion‐dominated solvation. This unique solvation environment induces preferential anion decomposition at electrode interfaces, forming robust inorganic rich S/CEI.

How Proton Incorporation Reshapes Lattice Dynamics In BaSnO<sub>3</sub>-Type Proton Conductors. [PDF]
Yttrium‐doped BaSnO3 exhibits isotope‐dependent changes in its low‐energy vibrational density of states upon hydration. Comparison of dry, H2O‐, and D2O‐treated samples re‐veals mass‐dependent phonon renormalization linked to proton dynamics near oxygen va‐cancies, providing experimental insight into hydrogen‐coupled lattice excitations in proton ...
