Lithium–Sulfur Batteries
In article number 2304210, Dequan Liu, Saikat Das, Deyan He, Yuichi Negishi, and co‐workers use Au24Pt(PET)18 nanoclusters for the first time as electrocatalysts in sulfur reduction reaction. The authors construct a lithium–sulfur battery with Au24Pt(PET)18@Graphene(G)‐based separator that demonstrates excellent capacity and long cycling stability, besides arresting the shuttling...
Due to their high designability, unique geometric and electronic structures, and surface coordination chemistry, atomically precise metal nanoclusters are an emerging class of functional nanomaterials at the forefront of materials research. However, the current research on metal nanoclusters is mainly fundamental, and their practical applications are still uncharted. The surface binding properties...
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) possess a unique tubular structure composed of highly graphitized atoms. Since their sp2 hybridized skeleton is discovered under the microscope, extensive attention is paid to their peculiar physics and extraordinary performances in mechanics, optics, and electricity. However, due to the challenges in controlled synthesis and mass production, there is a long bottleneck period...
Controlled Synthesis
The commercialization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) depends on rapid development in precise structure control and morphological assembly technology. In article number 2109401, Weizhong Qian, Fei Wei, and co‐workers summarize the catalytic growth mechanism of defect‐free CNTs. The template‐assisted morphological assembly is subsequently introduced as an efficient route towards their...
