Advances in porous carbons from biomass-derived macromolecules for supercapacitors

Carbonaceous frameworks dominate supercapacitor electrodes owing to reversible electrostatic charge storage, exceptional cycling stability, and broad structural tunability. The structural diversity of porous carbons benefits from an expanding spectrum of precursors and synthetic...

Manipulating Peierls-Nabarro stress to realize extraordinary thermoelectric performance in n-type PbTe

Abstract PbTe is recognized as one of the best intermediate-temperature thermoelectric materials; however, its commercial applications are largely restricted by the comparatively lower performance of its n-type counterpart. Here we show that Peierls-Nabarro stress is manipulated...
