An energy storage paradigm orthogonal to conventional Li-ion battery chemistries can be conceptualized by employing anions as the primary charge carriers. F-ion conversion chemistries show promise but have limited cyclability as a result of the significant

The design of stable adsorbents capable of selectively capturing dioxygen with a high reversible capacity is a crucial goal in functional materials development. Drawing inspiration from biological O 2 carriers, we demonstrate that coupling metal-based
Piezoelectric crystals in the langasite family can serve as a basis for resonant acoustic sensors that operate at temperatures exceeding the range of conventional piezoelectric resonators, but their performance is limited by acoustic loss at elevated

Nickle-iron oxyhydroxide (Ni 1-xFe xOOH) is well recognized as the best-performing oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalyst in alkaline electrolytes, however its analogue cobalt-iron oxyhydroxide (Cod1-xFe xOOH) is surprisingly less explored despite their

In this work, combining high-throughput (HT) density functional perturbation theory and supervised machine learning approaches, we explored the territory of compounds with interesting infrared, piezoelectric and dielectric properties. We have computed Γ
This is the first in a series of articles which present a new framework for computing the uncertainty in electron excited X-ray microanalysis measurements. This article will discuss the framework and apply it to a handful of simple but useful sub

Conventional approaches to mitigate fouling of membrane surfaces impart hydrophilicity to the membrane surface, which increases the water of hydration and fluidity near the surface. By contrast, we demonstrate here that tuning the membrane surface energy
