An Azacrown Electrolyte for High‐Performance Sodium‐Ion Batteries

ABSTRACT Sodium (Na)‐ion batteries (SIBs) are promising energy storage devices. However, they still do not exhibit satisfactory performance metrics largely because the relatively large ionic radius of Na + results in unfavorable solvation structures. This work demonstrates that u...

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...
