High-Throughput Computational Screening of Quinones for Electrochemical CO2 Capture

Abstract Electrochemical carbon capture (ECC) with quinones is a promising, energy-efficient alternative to thermal systems, but oxygen sensitivity remains a significant challenge. The persistent trade-off between CO2 affinity (KCO2) and reduction potentials (Ered) requires ident...

Transfer of verb placement in L3 French: Evidence from self-paced reading

The role of metalinguistic knowledge in transfer patterns in L3 is unclear. Although several recent studies have provided data on learners’ transfer patterns from L1 versus L2 in L3 French, these largely come from off-line tasks which may rely on metalinguistic knowledge. Thus, l...

Organized communities as pre-existing infrastructures of care during the COVID-19 pandemic: A transnational dialogue

This article draws from a community-engaged study of how ordinary people's social justice mobilization during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, Canada, Germany, and Peru placed demands on local and national governments for equitable social policies. It challenges celebratory narra...

Cathode vs Electrolyte: Decoupling the Origins of Degradation in High-Voltage Ni-Rich Lithium-Ion

Abstract Raising the upper cutoff voltage and deploying Ni-rich layered oxides (e.g., NMC811) are promising routes to higher lithium-ion cell energy density. However, the origin of degradation remains unclear at high-voltage operation. We propose using a cycle-relevant scan rate...
