We recently found that [Pt17 (CO) 12 (PPh3) 8] z (Pt= platinum; CO= carbon monoxide;
PPh3= triphenylphosphine; z= 1+ or 2+) is a Pt nanocluster (Pt NC) that can be synthesized …

Organic batteries are considered as environmentally friendly alternative to lithium‐ion
batteries due to the application of transition metal‐free redox‐active polymers. One well …

The inferior rate capacity of lithium/fluorinated carbon (Li/CFx) batteries limits their
application in the field, requiring large discharge current and high power density. Herein, we …

Thermal plasma has emerged as an effective approach for producing carbon nanostructures
without the need for specific catalysts nor substrates. While efforts have focused on the effect …

Lithium–air batteries promise exceptional energy density while avoiding the use of transition
metals in their cathodes, however, their practical adoption is currently held back by their …

A nano-phenazine@ Ketjen black (nPZ/KB) composite was prepared as an anode for
