Formation of LiFN2 with puckered LiF layers via nitrogen intercalation under high pressure

The incorporation of molecular guests into ionic frameworks under pressure can produce host–guest structures inaccessible under ambient conditions. Here, we report the synthesis of an intercalated compound, LiFN2, at 105 GPa and 2100 K using the laser-heated diamond anvil cell te...

Long-duration aqueous manganese metal anode by hydrogel solvation regulation

The key challenge of implementing aqueous manganese (Mn) metal batteries is severe water-related parasitic reactions, including the hydrogen evolution reaction and Mn corrosion. These issues originate largely from the high reactivity of solvated water around manganese ions (Mn 2+...
