Mitigating interfacial reactions in LiTiO anodes through carbon shells synthesized by spray granulation.

Recently, LiTiO has emerged as a potential alternative to graphite for automotive battery anodes. However, gas production in LTO batteries, which results in battery expansion, is a significant concern. This study employed sucrose as the carbon source.

Multifunctional Applications of Self-Assembled Novel Ln (Dy and Gd) Isotructural Nanoclusters: Single-Molecule Magnetism and MRI Contrast Agent.

Rare earth clusters have demonstrated promising application prospects, owing to their distinctive topological structures and electronic configurations. Herein, two novel Ln (Ln = Dy and Gd) clusters were synthesized using 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and 1,1-di(hydroxymethyl)ethylamine, along with Dy(ClO)·10HO and Gd(ClO)·10HO, respectively named as [Dy(L)(μ-OH)(HO)]Cl·4EtOH·2CHCN·5HO (1) and [Gd(L)(μ-OH)(HO)]Cl·5EtOH·5CHCN·11HO (2). The single crystal X-ray diffraction results indicated that clusters 1 and 2 possessed highly stable co-vertex double triangular metal skeletons, in which the Ln spin centers form a triangular [LnO] cluster via μ-OH.

Advanced TiO/AlO Bilayer ALD Coatings for Improved Lithium-Rich Layered Oxide Electrodes.

Surface modification is a highly effective strategy for addressing issues in lithium-rich layered oxide (LLO) cathodes, including phase transformation, particle cracking, oxygen gas release, and transition-metal ion dissolution. Existing single-/double-layer coating strategies face drawbacks such as poor component contact and complexity. Herein, we present the results of a low-temperature atomic layer deposition (ALD) process for creating a TiO/AlO bilayer on composite cathodes made of AS200 (LiNiCoMnO).

Juglanin suppresses fibrosis and inflammation response caused by LPS in acute lung injury.

Acute lung injury in children is a complication showing devastating disorders linked to fibrosis progression and inflammation response. Fibrosis and inflammation response are two markers for acute lung injury. Juglanin is a natural product mainly isolated from green walnut husks of Juglans mandshurica, which isconsidered as the functional composition among a series of compounds.
