Chemicallyand Morphologically Stable HgTe Nanorodsfor Infrared Photodetector Applications

Abstract We have developed the synthesis of HgTe branched nanorods that exhibit stable infrared (IR) photodetector performance on single-element detector (SED) substrates for more than a year without additional protective coating or packaging. For more than a year, we have been a...

High-Voltage Sodium–MetalBatteries with AsymmetricFluoroalkoxylated Organoborate Anion Chemistry

Abstract The high reactivity of sodium (Na) metal restricts its compatibility to ether-based electrolytes, while the poor oxidative stability of ethers precludes their coupling to high-voltage cathodes, fundamentally limiting the operating voltage and energy density of sodium–met...
