Reversible lithium insertion in catalytically graphitized sugar carbon
Highlights • First report of Li insertion in highly ordered catalytically derived graphite. • Fe catalyst combined with hard carbon precursors enable 1200 °C graphitization. • First report of highly ordered graphite ... -
The Reversible Magnesiation of Pb (Preprint)
Sputtered Pb films have been found to reversibly alloy electrochemically with magnesium in Grignard based electrolytes. The voltage curve shows a single plateau at about 125 mV vs. Mg, corresponding to the formation of ... -
Robust Synthesis of F-BODIPYs
F-BODIPYs are widely used in applications that rely upon their highly tunable optical properties. A protocol is established for the high-yielding synthesis of F-BODIPYs involving non-anhydrous reagents and not requiring ... -
Self-assembly of novel trimers using dipyrromethene ligands
Ligands comprising two dipyrromethene units linked at the beta-position have been used to prepare trimeric complexes with Zn-II and Co-II; the structure of the Zn-II complex is confirmed by X-ray analysis. -
A series of potent BODIPY photosensitisers featuring tellurophene motifs at boron† (Postprint)
This article describes the synthesis and photophysical properties of a series of BODIPY photosensitisers that feature tellurophene motifs appended at the boron centre. These compounds were obtained via nucleophilic ... -
Si85Fe15Ox Alloy Anode Materials with High Thermal Stability for Lithium Ion Batteries
The synthesis, microstructure and electrochemical properties of ball milled Si85Fe15Ox alloys with different oxygen contents are investigated. These materials combine the features of Si-M alloys (low irreversible capacity) ... -
Sintered polymeric binders for Li-ion battery alloy anodes
The cycling performance in lithium half cells of Si alloy electrodes with polyvinylidene fluoride or polyimide binders were evaluated after the electrodes were cured at temperatures below and above the binder carbonization ... -
Sodium distribution in sodium tellurite glasses probed with spin-echo NMR
We present results on the spatial distribution of sodium cations in sodium tellurite glasses as a function of sodium oxide content, obtained using a spin-echo NMR experiment. Glasses were studied with sodium oxide content ... -

Spherically Smooth Cathode Particles by Mechanofusion Processing
Surface modification has been shown to be useful for improving the cycling performance of cathode materials. Typically hetero-compositional coatings are applied on cathode particle surfaces using methods, such as aqueous ... -
Spin waves and quantum criticality in the frustrated XY pyrochlore antiferromagnet Er2Ti2O7
We report detailed measurements of the low temperature magnetic phase diagram of Er2Ti2O7. Heat capacity and time- of- flight neutron scattering studies of single crystals reveal unconventional low- energy states. Er3+ ... -
Stabilizing NaCrO2 by Sodium Site Doping with Calcium
Layered cathode materials based on abundant, low cost raw materials have garnered interest in recent years. O3-type NaCrO2 is a promising cathode material as it offers decent energy density and is easy to synthesize. In ... -
Step-wise synthetic approach is necessary to access g-conjugates of folate: folate-conjugated prodigiosenes
Despite the vast literature that describes reacting folic acid with a pharmacophore, this route is ineffective in providing the correct regioisomer of the resulting conjugate. We herein present a step-wise route to the ... -
Structural and Electrochemical Investigation of FexSi1-x Thin Films in Li Cells
FexSi1-x thin films with 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.46 have been prepared by combinatorial sputtering and their electrochemical properties have been studied in Li half-cells. X-ray diffraction showed that all of the films had an amorphous ... -
Structural principles and amorphouslike thermal conductivity of Na-doped Si clathrates
The postulated low thermal conductivity and the possibility of altering the electronic conductivity of metal-doped clathrates with semiconducting host elements have stimulated great interest in exploring these compounds ... -
Structure and Disorder of Phosphates in Ag2o-Agi-P2o5 Glasses
We directly probe the microstructure of the different phosphates in several glasses in the Ag2O-AgI-P2O5 system, by means of variable angle correlation NMR spectroscopy. This two-dimensional experiment separates the ...
