The large volume expansion hinders the commercial application of silicon oxide (SiO) anodes in lithium-ion batteries. Recent studies show that binders play a vital role in mitigating the volume change of SiO electrodes. Herein, we introduce the small molecule tannic acid (TA) with high branching into the linear poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) binder for SiO anodes. The three-dimensional (3D) crosslinked network with multiple hydrogen bonds is formed by the incorporation of abundant hydroxyl groups with unique carboxyl groups, which increases the interfacial adhesive strength with SiO particles. As a consequence, SiO electrodes based on the PAA-TA binder show an excellent cycling performance with a high specific capacity of 1025 mA h g at 500 mA g after 250 cycles. Moreover, the SiO||NCM811 full cell exhibits a reversible capacity of 143 mA h g corresponding to 87.4% capacity retention after 100 cycles.

The development of next-generation Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) to meet the demands of advancing technology and energy storage requires focus on the formation of effective interphases on both the positive and negative electrodes. Different promising approaches to facilitate effective interphase formation are already known Out of these, the incorporation of film-forming electrolyte additives is a straight-forward strategy to achieve this goal. In the presented study, a bifunctional electrolyte additive, (5-methyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxol-4-yl)methyl thiophene-3-carboxylate composed of two functional motifs, vinylene carbonate (VC) and thiophene, is reported.

A composite quasi-solid-state electrolyte (QSE) integrating sulfonated poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) and silicon dioxide (SiO) nanofillers is developed for lithium‑oxygen (Li-O) batteries. The inclusion of SiO nanofillers into the host polymer matrix helps in retaining the liquid electrolyte, enhancing ionic conductivity, mechanical stability, and structural integrity. Sulfonation of PVDF-HFP improves lithium-ion transport, reduces the shuttle effect of the lithium iodide (LiI) redox mediator, and suppresses lithium dendrite growth through uniform lithium deposition.

In this study, tin oxide (SnO) resistive random-access memory (RRAM) thin films were fabricated using the thermal evaporation and radiofrequency and dc frequency sputtering techniques for metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structures. The fabrication process began with the deposition of a silicon dioxide (SiO) layer onto a silicon (Si) substrate, followed by the deposition of a titanium nitride (TiN) layer to serve as the bottom electrode. Subsequently, the tin oxide (SnO) layer was deposited as the resistive switching insulator.

The addition of a small amount of silicon to the anode material is a widely used approach to increase the energy density of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, its (de-)lithiation leads to volume changes, resulting in structural degradation and the formation of an insufficient solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI), limiting the cycle life and electrochemical performance. Therefore, the formation of an effective SEI is imperative to overcome these challenges.

Here, SiO nanoparticles-based biosensors were developed for the non-faradaic EIS detection of human cytomegalovirus which is responsible for newborn babies' disability. Mesoporous SiO nanoparticles were fabricated through sol-gel approach using anionic surfactant with an average size of 144 ± 18.6 nm.
