Defect removal of 2D semiconductor crystals: Trapping oxygen molecules offers greater control in ssalimpour

Researchers developed a sterically regulated electrolyte that uses a non-flammable cyclic fluorinated diluent to form isolated solvation nanoclusters, improving lithium-ion transport and stabilizing interfaces in lithium metal batteries. The system enabled NCM811 coin cells to retain 80% capacity after more than 800 cycles, while a separate 6 Ah pouch cell exceeded 500 Wh kg?¹ and showed favorable behavior in nail-penetration and severe overcharge tests. 09/09/2026

Researchers first screened steel-fiber geometry and length for concrete impermeability, identifying 50-mm hooked-end and 40-mm crimped fibers as the best performers among those tested, before combining them with nano-silica to assess 28-day mechanical properties and microstructure. The hybrid mixtures performed best at 2% steel fiber and 1% nano-silica among the tested levels, with hooked-end fibers providing the strongest overall tensile and bending performance and microstructural analyses supporting a denser cementitious matrix. 09/07/2026
