Predominant P3-Type Solid-Solution Phase Transition Enables High-Stability O3-Type Na-Ion Cathodes

Layered O3-type oxides are one of the most promising cathode materials for Na-ion batteries owing to their high capacity and straightforward synthesis. However, these materials often experience irreversible structure transitions at elevated cutoff voltages, resulting in compromised cycling stability and rate performance. To address such...

Slight Multielement Doping-Induced Structural Order-Disorder Transition for High-Performance Layered Na-Ion Oxide Cathodes

To realize concurrently the high-energy density and excellent cycling stability, maximum utilization of redox couple, minimization of detrimental phase transition, and structural degradation of O3-type layered oxide cathodes are critical for developing Na-ion batteries. Ni²⁺/Ni⁴⁺ redox couple showing multielectron...

A method for fast evaluation of potential consequences of dam breach

Dam breach has catastrophic consequences for human lives and economy. In previous studies, empirical models are often, to a limited extent, due to the inadequacy of historical dam breach events. Physical models, which focus on simulating human behavior during floods, are not suitable for fast analysis of a large number of dams due to the...
