A gradient structured graphite (Gr) anode with an N/P < 1 is proposed. Through adding a small amount of silver (Ag) nanoparticles into the bottom layer, the designed anode can adjust the concentration polarization of Li-ion in the direction of anode thickness and control the excess Li-ion to uniformly deposit, finally achieving higher energy density...

Co2+ occupation from tetrahedral to octahedral sites, which maintains its high activity and further improves the stability, is accomplished via Ga substitution in Co3O4. Efficient oxygen couples on adjacent Co3+ sites enable excellent oxygen evolution kinetics and durability. Abstract Cobalt (Co)-based oxides show promising activity as precious...

This study explores the use of direct internal reforming solid oxide fuel cells (DIR-SOFCs) for co-generating electricity and chemicals from methane. It examines how different fuel compositions affect performance, reveals how carbon deposition impacts anode structures through advanced imaging techniques, and validates the technology's efficiency and...

Charge separation mechanism in state-of-the-art system has been a part of intense debate. Here, it is presented that as, the system moves toward the low-offset regime the thermal contribution plays an important role to derive the charge separation. The rational guide is provided to achieve the maximum CSE and maximum V OC simultaneously within the...
