SiO anode has a more durable cycle life than Si, being considered competitive to replace the conventional graphite. SiO usually serves as composites with carbon to achieve more extended cycle life. However, the carbon microstructure dependent Li-ion storage behaviors in SiO /C anode have received insufficient attention. Herein, this work demonstrates that the disorder of carbon can determine the ratio of inter- and intragranular Li-ion diffusions. The resulted variation of platform characteristics will result in different compatibility when matching SiO . Rational disorder induced intergranular diffusion can benefit phase transition of SiO /C, benefiting the electrochemical performance. Through a series of quantitative calculations and in situ X-ray diffraction characterizations, this work proposes the rational strategy for the future optimization, thus achieving preferable performance of SiO /C anode.

In this study, we analyze InO thin-film transistors (InO-TFT) using synchrotron-based hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) in conditions. A bottom-gate InO-TFT with a high- AlO gate dielectric, grown on thermally oxidized silicon (SiO/p-Si), was examined while operating at varying and . The results reveal that the In 3d core level binding energy varies along the horizontal channel length, driven by the potential gradient induced by .

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.
