Author Correction: Plastic waste discharge to the global ocean constrained by seawater observations

Correction to: Nature Communications, published online 13 March 2023 The original version of this Article contained an error in Fig. 2, in which c was incorrectly described as “middle scenario” where it should have been described as “low scenario”. The correct version of Fig. 2 is: (Figure presented.) which replaces the previous incorrect...

Plastic waste discharge to the global ocean constrained by seawater observations

Marine plastic pollution poses a potential threat to the ecosystem, but the sources and their magnitudes remain largely unclear. Existing bottom-up emission inventories vary among studies for two to three orders of magnitudes (OMs). Here, we adopt a top-down approach that uses observed dataset of sea surface plastic concentrations and an...

Manipulate energy transport via fluorinated spacers towards record-efficiency 2D Dion-Jacobson CsPbI₃ solar cells

Two-dimensional (2D) Dion-Jacobson (D-J)-type cesium lead iodide CsPbI ₃ perform remarkably in terms of stability. However, the complex interactions between spacer and inorganic layers limit its excellent progress in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, starting from the considerable structural diversity of organic spacers, we...

A Novel Multiple-Ring Aromatic Spacer Based 2D Ruddlesden–Popper CsPbI₃ Solar Cell with Record Efficiency Beyond 16%

Two-dimensional (2D) Ruddlesden–Popper (RP) CsPbI₃ perovskite possesses superior phase stability by introducing steric hindrance. However, due to the quantum and dielectric confinement effect, 2D structures usually exhibit large exciton binding energy, and the charge tunneling barrier across the organic interlayer is difficult to...

High-Performance and Low-Cost Sodium-Ion Anode Based on a Facile Black Phosphorus-Carbon Nanocomposite

Black phosphorus (BP) has received increasing research attention as an anode material in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), owing to its high capacity, electronic conductivity, and chemical stability. However, it is still challenging for BP-based SIB anodes to achieve a high electrochemical performance utilizing cost-effective materials and...

The electrochemical performance of super P carbon black in reversible Li/Na ion uptake

Super P carbon black (SPCB) has been widely used as a conducting additive in Li/Na ion batteries to improve the electronic conductivity. However, there has not yet been a comprehensive study on its structure and electrochemical properties for Li/Na ion uptake, though it is important to characterize its contribution in any study of active...
