Electronic Conductivity as a Rate‑Limiting Factor for Calcium‑Ion Storage in Layered Vanadium Oxides

ABSTRACT Rechargeable calcium batteries are promising for sustainable energy storage but lack cathode materials that reversibly intercalate Ca 2+ at practical rates. While considerable efforts have focused on improving ionic conductivity, this work investigates how electronic con...

Nanotoxicity of Ultrasmall Silver Nanoclusters to Cyanobacteria

Cyanobacteria are essential primary producers in aquatic ecosystems. Silver nanoclusters (Ag NCs) are emerging ultrasmall nanomaterials with broad applications; however, they inevitably enter aquatic environments. This study investigated the nanotoxicity of Ag NCs on model cyanob...
