The performance of rechargeable batteries is governed by processes deep within their components. A fundamental understanding of electrochemistry, structure–property–performance relationships and the ...

Chinese scientists proposed a novel imine-to-olefin transformation strategy to synthesize single-crystal sp² carbon-linked covalent organic frameworks (sp²c-COFs). COFs are crystalline, porous ...

In nature, tiny crystals known as nanocrystals are formed slowly over many years. Rocks and minerals react with air, water, and carbon dioxide in a process called chemical weathering. These reactions ...

Copper (Cu) foil, with its exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity, serves as a foundational material for integrated circuits, high-frequency communication, and advanced energy technologies.

While Boyce’s crystal may be the largest single crystal of copper sulfate, students at the Kurfrüst-Ruprecht-Gymnasium in Germany hold the record for overall size. Their polymorphic crystal reached a ...

Researchers unveil a microstructure design guide to enhance the durability of lithium secondary batteries. A research team led by Professor Kyu-Young Park from the Graduate Institute of Ferrous & Eco ...

Every crystal's shape is a mirror of the internal arrangement of its molecules, but the molecules in photoswitchable crystals ...

Researchers from Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Hebei University have optimized the nucleation process by regulating the interactions between the epitaxial layer and the substrate.

Researchers have been testing a new type of lithium ion battery that uses single-crystal electrodes. Over several years, they’ve found that the technology could keep 80% of its capacity after 20,000 ...
