In Situ Electron Microscopy Study of Dynamic Structural Changes in CuZn Bimetallic Nanoparticles

Background Introduction Bimetallic nanocomposites have gained widespread attention due to their tunable physicochemical properties and significant applications in engineering and catalysis. In nanocomposites, the synergistic effects between metal elements often lead to excellent catalytic performance, even imparting unique properties that are not present in single metal elements. However, bimetallic alloys face issues of structural and … Read more

Negligible Voltage Hysteresis With Strong Anionic Redox in Conventional Battery Electrode

[Research Background] In traditional metal oxide cathode materials during charge and discharge processes, the insertion/extraction of alkali metal (lithium, sodium, potassium, etc.) ions requires charge compensation provided by transition metals, meaning that oxidation-reduction reactions occur as electrons are gained and lost. The number of electrons that can be transferred is one of the main limiting … Read more
