However, its practical application is hindered by significant volumetric fluctuations during lithiation/delithiation, alongside a metastable nature, which induces mechanical instability and irreversible lithium consumption, ultimately impairing long-term capacity retention in full-battery cell configurations. In this study, we present a phase-engineering approach designed to improve the structural stability of SiOx anodes for LIB applications. By incorporating lithium fluoride, amorphous SiOx undergoes partial transformation into a quartz-like phase, which enhances mechanical integrity and mitigates irreversible lithium loss. This modified anode demonstrates significantly improved stability and prolonged cycle lifespan. Through a combination of multiscale simulations and in situ characterizations, we elucidate the stabilization mechanisms conferred by the quartz phase, providing critical insights into the role of SiOx’s crystal structure in influencing degradation pathways. This work introduces an accessible and efficient method for controlling the crystallinity of SiOx, offering a practical solution to enhance the durability of high-energy-density LIBs."}],"acknowledgement":"This work was supported by the Guangdong Basic and Applied Basic Research Foundation (2023A1515110828) and the Generalitat de Catalunya (2021SGR01581).

However, for this biomass valorization approach to become commercially viable, selective, cost-effective, and highly active electrooxidation catalysts need to be developed. In this work, we detail the synthesis of a nickel (Ni) and zinc (Zn)-based electrocatalyst for the glucose oxidation reaction (GOR) to formic acid (FoA) via calcination of a Zn-based zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF) functionalized with ethylenediamine and doped with Ni. The structure, morphology, and electrochemical performance of the catalysts towards the anodic GOR to FoA coupled with the cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) are subsequently studied. Chronopotentiometry tests with 0.1 M of glucose show a conversion of 94 % at 250 mA in only 70 min, with a Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 91 % toward the production of FoA.

Yet, despite numerous editorials, guidelines, and workshops dedicated to improving figure design, poorly constructed figures remain a persistent issue. Editors and experienced researchers have repeatedly highlighted key pitfalls such as cluttered layouts, inconsistent formatting, poor color choices, and misleading visuals. (1−8) Yet, the aforementioned graphical shortcomings continue to plague even high-impact journals. Why? The problem is not a lack of technology; it is a combination of poor design habits, rushed deadlines, and a tendency to treat figures as mere “data dumps” rather than as essential storytelling tools.\r\nMany people process information more effectively through visuals, naturally associating concepts easily when presented graphically. A well-crafted figure serves as a narrative within the larger story, making complex ideas more accessible. Unfortunately, visual storytelling often takes a backseat in scientific communication. Scientists are trained to analyze and interpret data, but many default to software-generated plots without considering accessibility or how their figures will be perceived by readers outside their immediate field. Without thoughtful design, figures lose their power to enhance understanding, ultimately limiting the significance of the research itself.\r\nIn this editorial, we examine the challenges that, in our view, hamper scientific figure design and discuss how thoughtful refinements driven by feedback, iteration, and design principles can enhance clarity and impact visual communication.","lang":"eng"}],"title":"Let us FIGURE it out: Why do scientists still make “bad” figures?","page":"438-440","publication_status":"published","publication":"ACS Materials Au","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2694-2461"]},"file":[{"access_level":"open_access","content_type":"application/pdf","success":1,"creator":"dernst","date_updated":"2025-05-28T08:48:38Z","date_created":"2025-05-28T08:48:38Z","file_size":1750018,"checksum":"a3aa15e4022fa359d6ba5afb96268841","file_name":"2025_ACSMaterialsAu_Rayaroth.pdf","relation":"main_file","file_id":"19753"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"external_id":{"pmid":["40385955"]},"pmid":1,"article_type":"editorial","year":"2025","tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/legalcode","short":"CC BY-NC-ND (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by_nc_nd.png"},"has_accepted_license":"1","type":"journal_article","date_created":"2025-05-25T22:16:51Z","quality_controlled":"1","date_updated":"2025-06-11T13:23:01Z","volume":5,"month":"05","_id":"19731","oa_version":"Published Version","scopus_import":"1","doi":"10.1021/acsmaterialsau.5c00037","department":[{"_id":"MaIb"}],"file_date_updated":"2025-05-28T08:48:38Z","publisher":"American Chemical Society","citation":{"mla":"Rayaroth Puthiyaveettil, Aiswarya, et al. “Let Us FIGURE It out: Why Do Scientists Still Make ‘Bad’ Figures?” <i>ACS Materials Au</i>, vol. 5, no. 3, American Chemical Society, 2025, pp. 438–40, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsmaterialsau.5c00037\">10.1021/acsmaterialsau.5c00037</a>.","short":"A.

In this study, we employ transverse thermoelectric measurements to investigate the ferroelectric distortion in the topological crystalline insulator (TCI) Pb0.60Sn0.40Te, a compound derived from PbTe and SnTe, known for their exceptional thermoelectric performance and distinct ferroelectric properties. By leveraging Nernst measurements, we provide direct evidence of ferroelectric distortion in this TCI, corroborated by Shubnikov–de Haas quantum oscillations that confirm the presence of two topologically nontrivial Fermi pockets. Density functional theory calculations show that these pockets originate from the L and T points in the Brillouin zone of the distorted structure within the TCI phase. Raman spectroscopy further identifies a structural phase transition below 50 K, consistent with the quantum oscillation observations. This observation is further substantiated by temperature-dependent synchrotron X-ray pair distribution function analysis and transmission electron microscopy, which confirm the local off-centering of cations at low temperature. These findings underscore the potential of transverse thermoelectric measurements in unveiling ferroelectric distortions and their role in modulating topological quantum states, opening new directions for research into the synergy between ferroelectricity and topological phases."}],"isi":1,"acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"EM-Fac"},{"_id":"NanoFab"}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["0002-7863"],"eissn":["1520-5126"]},"publication":"Journal of the American Chemical Society","article_type":"original","year":"2025","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"external_id":{"isi":["001493301300001"],"pmid":["40402919"]},"pmid":1},{"acknowledgement":"All the authors acknowledge financial support by the MeBattery project.

Their ability to intercalate and deintercalate ions within their framework pores, coupled with the adaptability of their crystal structure to electrochemical changes, underpins their success in battery applications. PBAs with Fe or Co as the active site exhibit high redox potentials (vs SHE) and have been extensively explored as cathode materials, with well-documented chemistry, crystal structures, and electrochemical properties. In contrast, PBAs with Cr or Mn as the active site display lower redox potentials and remain significantly underexplored as anode materials. This gap has led to fewer reported compounds and a less comprehensive understanding of their structural and electrochemical behavior, leaving the field relatively opaque. In this perspective, we comprehensively analyze the challenges involved in producing and employing PBAs with low redox potentials as active battery materials. Conversely, we propose numerous horizons and ask fundamental questions that should pave the way for future research to advance the field."}],"ddc":["540"],"day":"03","author":[{"first_name":"Mario","full_name":"Palacios Corella, Mario","last_name":"Palacios Corella","id":"452e82c6-803f-11ed-ab7e-ca0439e73a5d"},{"last_name":"Echevarría","id":"a623795e-21fb-11ed-b8a1-a0f51308eed7","first_name":"Igor","full_name":"Echevarría, Igor"},{"last_name":"Santana Santos","full_name":"Santana Santos, Carla","first_name":"Carla"},{"full_name":"Schuhmann, Wolfgang","first_name":"Wolfgang","last_name":"Schuhmann"},{"full_name":"Ventosa, Edgar","first_name":"Edgar","last_name":"Ventosa"},{"full_name":"Ibáñez, Maria","first_name":"Maria","id":"43C61214-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Ibáñez","orcid":"0000-0001-5013-2843"}],"issue":"12","article_processing_charge":"Yes (via OA deal)","OA_type":"hybrid","oa":1,"OA_place":"publisher","article_type":"original","year":"2025","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"external_id":{"isi":["001501830600001"]},"isi":1,"file":[{"checksum":"902c52a2f52a028436e0acd8a5a4beac","file_name":"2025_ChemistryMaterials_PalaciosCorella.pdf","file_id":"20897","relation":"main_file","content_type":"application/pdf","access_level":"open_access","creator":"dernst","success":1,"date_updated":"2025-12-30T08:40:55Z","date_created":"2025-12-30T08:40:55Z","file_size":8760757}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["0897-4756"],"eissn":["1520-5002"]},"publication":"Chemistry of Materials","doi":"10.1021/acs.chemmater.5c00213","project":[{"name":"MEDIATED BIPHASIC BATTERY","_id":"eb9fa02e-77a9-11ec-83b8-ab1143e5a30f","grant_number":"101046742"}],"scopus_import":"1","date_created":"2025-06-15T22:01:31Z","volume":37,"quality_controlled":"1","date_updated":"2025-12-30T08:41:57Z","_id":"19847","month":"06","oa_version":"Published Version","type":"journal_article","has_accepted_license":"1","tmp":{"image":"/images/cc_by.png","short":"CC BY (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"PlanS_conform":"1","corr_author":"1","status":"public","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","intvolume":"        37","date_published":"2025-06-03T00:00:00Z","citation":{"apa":"Palacios Corella, M., Echevarría, I., Santana Santos, C., Schuhmann, W., Ventosa, E., &#38; Ibáñez, M.

Herein, we report the reaction precursor-mediated formation of stable PbTe supercrystals. Rationalizing the formation of these assemblies through small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements, we unveil their formation mechanism. Our findings reveal that the supercrystal formation occurs in the presence of an excess of lead oleates in the crude solution. It should be noted that the formed supercrystals can be stabilized under specific conditions determined by the lead oleate cluster concentration, content of trioctylphosphine telluride (TOP-Te), NC size and the need of an annealing step at mild conditions. Furthermore, this approach allows for the continuous growth of a secondary phase within the supercrystal; for example in the case of PbTe supercrystals, a PbS shell can be grown on each PbTe NC constituent, resulting in core-shell PbTe-PbS supercrystals. Our work elucidates that reaction precursors play an important role in in situ SC formation and stabilization, implying the possibility of applying this knowledge to other NC reactions."}],"date_created":"2025-07-21T08:33:20Z","title":"Reaction precursor-mediated formation of stable supercrystals in colloidal nanocrystal synthesis: PbTe case","project":[{"name":"HighTE: The Werner Siemens Laboratory for the High Throughput Discovery of Semiconductors for Waste Heat Recovery","_id":"9B8F7476-BA93-11EA-9121-9846C619BF3A"}],"acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"EM-Fac"},{"_id":"NMR"},{"_id":"LifeSc"}],"publisher":"Fundació de la comunitat valenciana SCITO","publication":"Proceedings of the MATSUS Spring 2025 Conference","department":[{"_id":"MaIb"},{"_id":"LifeSc"}],"corr_author":"1","status":"public","article_number":"173","year":"2025","citation":{"ista":"Lee S, Balazs D, Horta S, Rayaroth Puthiyaveettil A, Ibáñez M. 2025.

We first assess the doping efficiency by ICP and find that, while Eu is almost quantitatively incorporated, the other lanthanides (La, Ce, Tb, Tm, Er, Yb) have about 50% incorporation efficiency over the studied doping range of 1–10%. We then determine the nanocrystal surface chemistry using NMR spectroscopy, despite the additional spectral line broadening caused by the paramagnetic lanthanide dopants. By varying the surface ligands and measuring the photoluminescence, we resolve the spectroscopic signals that are sensitive to a change in surface chemistry. Time-resolved emission spectra further reinforce the notion of a bulk component with a long luminescent lifetime and a surface component with a fast lifetime. Upon shelling Eu- or Tb-doped zirconia NCs with pure zirconia, the surface component disappears, and the photoluminescence quantum yield increases. We further functionalized the surface of the core/shell particles with oleylphosphonic acid ligands to obtain excellent dispersibility. These results show that lanthanide-doped zirconia NCs can be engineered to eliminate deactivation pathways.","lang":"eng"}],"title":"Identification and elimination of surface emission in lanthanide (Co)doped zirconia nanocrystals","publication_status":"published","page":"30371-30382","acknowledgement":"N.R. and C.S. thank the SNSF Eccellenza funding scheme (Project 194172) for funding.

Over four decades of research into NCs has led to numerous advancements in diverse fields, such as optoelectronics, catalysis, energy, medicine, and recently, quantum information and computing. The last 10 years since the predecessor perspective “Prospect of Nanoscience with Nanocrystals” was published in ACS Nano have seen NC research continuously evolve, yielding critical advances in fundamental understanding and practical applications. Mechanistic insights into NC formation have translated into precision control over NC size, shape, and composition. Emerging synthesis techniques have broadened the landscape of compounds obtainable in colloidal NC form. Sophistication in surface chemistry, jointly bolstered by theoretical models and experimental findings, has facilitated refined control over NC properties and represents a trusted gateway to enhanced NC stability and processability. The assembly of NCs into superlattices, along with two-dimensional (2D) photolithography and three-dimensional (3D) printing, has expanded their utility in creating materials with tailored properties. Applications of NCs are also flourishing, consolidating progress in fields targeted early on, such as optoelectronics and catalysis, and extending into areas ranging from quantum technology to phase-change memories. In this perspective, we review the extensive progress in research on NCs over the past decade and highlight key areas where future research may bring further breakthroughs."}],"acknowledgement":"This article was inspired by the discussions and presentations at the NaNaX10 (Nanoscience with Nanocrystals) conference held in the Institute of Science and Technology of Austria (ISTA), July 3–7, 2023.

Although observing this effect is still practically unachievable, its analogue generalizations have been shown to be more readily attainable. This paper demonstrates that a gapped Dirac semiconductor, methylammonium lead-bromide perovskite (MAPbBr3), exhibits analogue dynamic Schwinger effect. Tunneling ionization under deep subgap mid-infrared irradiation leads to intense photoluminescence in the visible range, in full agreement with quasi-adiabatic theory. In addition to revealing a gapped extended system suitable for studying the analogue Schwinger effect, this observation holds great potential for nonperturbative field sensing, i.e., sensing electric fields through nonperturbative light-matter interactions. First, this paper illustrates this by measuring the local deviation from the nominally cubic phase of a perovskite single crystal, which can be interpreted in terms of frozen-in fields. Next, it is shown that analogue dynamic Schwinger effect can be used for nonperturbative amplification of nonparametric upconversion process in perovskites driven simultaneously by multiple optical fields. This discovery demonstrates the potential for material response beyond perturbation theory in the tunneling regime, offering extremely sensitive light detection and amplification across an ultrabroad spectral range not accessible by conventional devices.","lang":"eng"}],"title":"Observation of analogue dynamic Schwinger effect and non-perturbative light sensing in lead halide perovskites","publication_status":"published","page":"5220-5230","acknowledgement":"A.G.V. thanks Peter Balling for useful discussions.

Herein, we present a cost-effective, binary thiol-amine-mediated colloidal synthesis method to synthesize Bi-doped SnTe nanoparticles, eliminating the use of tri-n-octylphosphine-based precursors. The introduction of an electron-rich Bi dopant reduces the hole concentration and increases the Seebeck coefficient. Furthermore, post-synthetic surface treatment with chalcogenidocadmate complexes promotes atomic interdiffusion during annealing and consolidation, leading to compositional redistribution and modulation of the electronic band structure. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that co-modification via Bi doping and CdSe-derived chalcogen incorporation reduces the energy offset at the valence band maxima from 0.30 eV to 0.10 eV, thereby enhancing valence band degeneracy. The synergistic structural and electronic band structure modulations produce an SnTe-based material with a record high power factor of 2.1 mW m–1 K–2 at 900 K, a maximum TE figure of merit (zT) of 1.2, and a promising theoretical conversion efficiency of 8.3%. This study reports a versatile and scalable colloidal synthesis strategy that integrates hierarchical structural modulation with electronic band engineering, offering a synergistic route to significantly enhance the TE performance.","lang":"eng"}],"acknowledgement":"Y.L. acknowledges funding from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) (Grant No. 22209034), the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Project of Overseas Returnees in Anhui Province (Grant No. 2022LCX002), and the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities (JZ2024HGTB0239).

Typically, Zn plating proceeds via 2D growth along the six equivalent prismatic [1010] directions of the hexagonal close-packed (HCP) Zn lattice, forming hexagonal platelets that promote dendrite formation. Here, an effective electrolyte engineering strategy is presented using rare-earth ions to regulate Zn plating. Combined multiscale experimental analyses and computational modeling reveal that these ions preferentially adsorb onto the prismatic {1010} facets, suppressing lateral epitaxial growth of the basal (0002) planes. This redirects Zn plating toward an apparent screw dislocation-driven growth along the [0001] axis. The resulting growth pathway, together with randomly oriented Zn nucleation, yields dense, uniform, and dendrite-free Zn layers with markedly improved cycling stability and high depth-of-discharge operation, thereby challenging the prevailing assumption that dendrite suppression requires (0002)-oriented growth parallel to the substrate. This work provides new mechanistic insights into Zn plating dynamics and establishes a scalable strategy for stable, dendrite-free Zn anodes in next-generation AZIBs.","lang":"eng"}]},{"oa_version":"Published Version","_id":"20326","month":"08","volume":147,"quality_controlled":"1","date_updated":"2026-07-17T07:09:41Z","date_created":"2025-09-10T05:44:03Z","scopus_import":"1","project":[{"name":"HighTE: The Werner Siemens Laboratory for the High Throughput Discovery of Semiconductors for Waste Heat Recovery","_id":"9B8F7476-BA93-11EA-9121-9846C619BF3A"}],"doi":"10.1021/jacs.5c11435","PlanS_conform":"1","tmp":{"image":"/images/cc_by.png","short":"CC BY (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"has_accepted_license":"1","type":"journal_article","related_material":{"record":[{"relation":"dissertation_contains","id":"22017","status":"public"}]},"citation":{"ama":"Liu Y, Kleinhanns T, Horta S, et al.

Along with the tunability of the magnon-photon coupling strength, fast information transfer and conversion speed are desired in hybrid devices. This can be achieved utilizing the propagating nature of spin waves with nonzero momentum for their ultrafast time dynamics and reduced ohmic dissipation. Antiferromagnets are particularly interesting as hosts for magnons since stray-field interactions are minimized and they support multiple modes with distinctive magnetic-field behavior across the phase diagram. Chromium trichloride (CrCl3) is a van der Waals layered antiferromagnet having a strong easy-plane anisotropy and a weak in-plane easy-axis anisotropy. Despite some magnetic resonance studies, the impact of magnetic reorientation of spins in CrCl3 on the cavity-magnon-polariton interaction strength as a function of magnetic field remains largely unexplored. In this study, we investigate the coupling between magnons in CrCl3 and photons in a coplanar waveguide resonator as a function of magnetic field. In particular, we find that the magnon-photon coupling strength varies nonmonotonically and distinctly with the magnetic field for the acoustic and the optical magnons, which can be utilized to tune the magnon-photon coupling strength using an external magnetic field as a knob. We find the signature of spin-flop transition in the two harmonics of the cavity due to a stronger dispersive coupling between optical magnons and cavity photons at lower fields. Additionally, we find standing modes formed by spin waves with nonzero momentum associated with the two hybrid magnons when the external field is applied at an angle with the crystal plane. These modes do not undergo substantial coupling with the cavity mode unlike the antiferromagnetic modes and can be used as low-loss propagation channels in hybrid devices.","lang":"eng"}],"acknowledgement":"We thank R.

However, the relatively high material processing cost limits their real applications. Silver selenide (Ag2Se) is one of the very few n-type thermoelectric (TE) materials for room-temperature applications. Herein, we report a room temperature, fast, and aqueous-phase synthesis approach to produce Ag2Se, which can be extended to other metal chalcogenides. These materials reach TE figures of merit (zT) of up to 0.76 at 380 K. To improve these values, bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) particles also prepared in an aqueous solution are incorporated into the Ag2Se matrix. In this way, a series of Ag2Se/Bi2S3 composites with Bi2S3 wt % of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 are prepared by solution blending and hot-press sintering. The presence of Bi2S3 significantly improves the Seebeck coefficient and power factor while at the same time decreasing the thermal conductivity with no apparent drop in electrical conductivity. Thus, a maximum zT value of 0.96 is achieved in the composites with 1.0 wt % Bi2S3 at 370 K. Furthermore, a high average zT value (zTave) of 0.93 in the 300–390 K range is demonstrated.","lang":"eng"}],"title":"Engineering of thermoelectric composites based on silver selenide in aqueous solution and ambient temperature","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2637-6113"]},"file":[{"success":1,"creator":"dernst","date_updated":"2024-07-16T07:54:21Z","file_size":5851865,"date_created":"2024-07-16T07:54:21Z","access_level":"open_access","content_type":"application/pdf","file_name":"2024_ACSAppElecMaterials_Nan.pdf","relation":"main_file","file_id":"17250","checksum":"1f743eaf4fc988cd30102b7c2f12c15d"}],"isi":1,"publication":"ACS Applied Electronic Materials","year":"2024","article_type":"review","pmid":1,"external_id":{"pmid":["38828037"],"isi":["000986859000001"]},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}]},{"author":[{"full_name":"Zeng, Guifang","first_name":"Guifang","last_name":"Zeng"},{"last_name":"Sun","full_name":"Sun, Qing","first_name":"Qing"},{"id":"03a7e858-01b1-11ec-8b71-99ae6c4a05bc","last_name":"Horta","full_name":"Horta, Sharona","first_name":"Sharona"},{"first_name":"Shang","full_name":"Wang, Shang","last_name":"Wang"},{"last_name":"Lu","full_name":"Lu, Xuan","first_name":"Xuan"},{"first_name":"Chaoyue","full_name":"Zhang, Chaoyue","last_name":"Zhang"},{"first_name":"Jing","full_name":"Li, Jing","last_name":"Li"},{"first_name":"Junshan","full_name":"Li, Junshan","last_name":"Li"},{"last_name":"Ci","full_name":"Ci, Lijie","first_name":"Lijie"},{"full_name":"Tian, Yanhong","first_name":"Yanhong","last_name":"Tian"},{"full_name":"Ibáñez, Maria","first_name":"Maria","last_name":"Ibáñez","id":"43C61214-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0001-5013-2843"},{"last_name":"Cabot","first_name":"Andreu","full_name":"Cabot, Andreu"}],"day":"04","issue":"1","article_processing_charge":"No","acknowledgement":"G.Z. and Q.S. contributed equally to this work.

However, sluggish ionic transport kinetics and the unstable electrode structure during ionic insertion/extraction hampers their deployment. Herein,  we propose a new cathode material based on a layered metal chalcogenide (LMC), bismuth telluride (Bi<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>Te<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>), coated with polypyrrole (PPy). Taking advantage of the PPy coating, the Bi<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>Te<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>@PPy composite presents strong ionic absorption affinity, high oxidation resistance, and high structural stability. The ZIBs based on Bi<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>Te<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>@PPy cathodes exhibit high capacities and ultra‐long lifespans of over 5000 cycles. They also present outstanding stability even under bending. In addition,  we analyze here the reaction mechanism using in situ X‐ray diffraction, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and computational tools and demonstrate that, in the aqueous system, Zn<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> is not inserted into the cathode as previously assumed. In contrast, proton charge storage dominates the process. Overall, this work not only shows the great potential of LMCs as ZIBs cathode materials and the advantages of PPy coating, but also clarifies the charge/discharge mechanism in rechargeable ZIBs based on LMCs.","lang":"eng"}],"isi":1,"acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"EM-Fac"}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["0935-9648"],"eissn":["1521-4095"]},"publication":"Advanced Materials","year":"2024","article_type":"original","external_id":{"isi":["001085681000001"],"pmid":["37555532"]},"pmid":1,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"keyword":["Mechanical Engineering","Mechanics of Materials","General Materials Science"],"type":"journal_article","doi":"10.1002/adma.202305128","scopus_import":"1","project":[{"name":"HighTE: The Werner Siemens Laboratory for the High Throughput Discovery of Semiconductors for Waste Heat Recovery","_id":"9B8F7476-BA93-11EA-9121-9846C619BF3A"}],"_id":"14435","month":"01","oa_version":"None","volume":36,"date_created":"2023-10-17T10:53:56Z","date_updated":"2025-04-15T06:36:40Z","quality_controlled":"1","publisher":"Wiley","department":[{"_id":"MaIb"}],"article_number":"2305128","status":"public","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","intvolume":"        36","date_published":"2024-01-04T00:00:00Z","citation":{"ama":"Zeng G, Sun Q, Horta S, et al.

Their electronic structure results indicate that they are semi-metals in nature. The magnetic moments are computed using the Slater-Pauling formula and exhibit a high value, with the Cr atom contributing the most in all alloys. Mulliken’s charge analysis results show that our alloys contain a range of linkages, mainly ionic and covalent ones. The ductility and mechanical stability of these alloys are confirmed by elastic constants viz.
