Article Abstract

Organic materials are increasingly commanding attention as a sustainable choice for charge storage in rechargeable batteries. To fully realise their promise, significantly more understanding is needed in terms of structure-property correlations. Here we report a highly conjugated molecule, disodium anthracene-9,10-carboxylate (NaADC), synthesised using rapid microwave-assisted heating and evaluated as an anode material in sodium-ion batteries. Detailed material characterisation is reported, including the crystal structure determined from three-dimensional electron diffraction (3D ED) studies, demonstrating the suitability and advantage of this method for the structural characterisation of organic electrode materials. This study highlights the role of molecular design and structural properties in facilitating the delivery of high-performing organic electrode materials.

Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO) is a semiconductor with multiferroic properties, synthesized by the sol-gel method. While static high-pressure studies have advanced our understanding of the phase behavior of BiFeO, the effects of dynamic pressure acoustic shock waves remain unexplored. In this study, BiFeO was subjected to 100 shock pulses with 0.

Background: Kaempferol (KAE), a bioactive flavonoid, has limited solubility and stability in water. Zein-gum arabic (GA) nanoparticles (NPs) are promising carriers for KAE, but the influence of preparation methods on their structure and properties remains unclear. This study investigated the effect of preparation method on the structure and properties of KAE-loaded zein-GA NPs.

The surface structure of an electrocatalyst plays a crucial role in determining the activity. As a model system, gold has been widely investigated as an electro-oxidation catalyst, although there has been much less research on the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in the potential region of gold oxidation. Here, we combine voltammetric scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), at different spatial and angular resolutions, respectively, to correlate the local crystallographic structure of polycrystalline goldfocusing on grains close to (113), (011), (114), and (111) orientationswith the electrocatalytic behavior for the OER.
