Ni-rich layer-structured materials are some of the most promising cathodes owing to their attractive reversible capacity and cost-effectiveness. When the Ni content is increased to 90% and higher, mechanical deterioration becomes serious and leads to accelerated cyclic degradation, since removable Li is ∼0.85, accompanied by large lattice variation during operation. Here, we investigate the influences of Ti bulky substitution, Nb surface treatment, and their coutilization on the behavior of LiNiCoMnO (NCM92). In contrast to the limited positive effects of monousage, the coutilization of Ti and Nb obviously suppresses particles' pulverization, relying on their synergistic effects of the shape of lattice variation and the protection of a tough shell layer. As a result, Ti & Nb-LiNiCoMnO (TiNb-NCM92) presents the best capacity retention, as high as 90.2% after 300 cycles, much higher than NCM92 (49.0%), Ti-NCM92 (76.3%), and Nb-NCM92 (72.4%). Our approaches demonstrate that the serious mechanical challenges of ultrahigh nickel cathodes could be alleviated by various remedies coutilized together.

The crystallographic B-factor (Bf), also known as the Debye-Waller factor (DWF) or temperature factor, relates to the mean-square displacement of the atoms (X). X may be composed of individual contributions from lattice disorder (LT), static conformational heterogeneity (H) throughout the lattice, rigid body vibration (RB), local conformational vibration (V), and zero-point atomic fluctuation (A). The Bf has been widely employed as a surrogate measure of local protein flexibility, although such relation has not been confirmed.

Disordered rock-salt LiVO (DRX-LVO) anode exhibits distinctive 3D Li percolation transport networks, which offers the unique advantage for ultra-charging. However, the existing chemical lithiation preparation routes not only pose safety risks due to the use of highly reactive reagents but also inevitably result in products with poor crystallinity. Investigating the origin, impact, and strategies for crystallinity degradation is pivotal for advancing the industrialization of chemical lithiation.

As a 2D material with distinctive ferroelectric properties, InSe offers significant potential for the applications in information memory and advanced data storage technologies. It also exhibits a complex phase diagram that is highly sensitive to temperature and pressure variations, resulting in diverse lattice configurations. While extensive studies have focused on the phase transition behavior of InSe, its impact on phonon transport remains largely unexplored.

This study presents a comprehensive framework combining Selective Laser Melting (SLM) of Titanium (Ti64) alloys, finite element simulation, and artificial intelligence (AI) to advance orthopedic implants' design and predictive evaluation. Dense Ti64 specimens are fabricated using ten distinct SLM parameter sets to explore the effects of volumetric energy density (VED) on mechanical behavior, porosity distribution, and microstructural integrity. Optimal VED ranges are identified to balance defect minimization and mechanical performance, with porosity levels strongly influencing tensile strength and Young's modulus.

1D electronic structures on 2D crystalline surfaces are crucial for investigating low-dimensional quantum phenomena and enabling the development of dimensionally engineered nanodevices. However, the inherent periodic symmetry of 2D atomic lattices generally leads to delocalized electronic band extending across the surface, making the creation of periodic 1D electronic states a significant challenge. Here, robust 1D electronic ordering is demonstrated in ultrathin Mn films grown on an atomically flat, non-reconstructed body-centered cubic Fe substrate.
