The metastable semiconductor phase allows for the exploration of unusual properties and functionalities of abnormal structures, although it is often difficult to prevent thermodynamic transformations to lower energy structures from higher, unfavored energy states. Here, we show for the first time the preparation of hi…

Research on VO 2 cathodes for lithium ion batteries has been mainly focused on the VO 2 (B) phase. However, rutile VO 2 (M/R) has rarely been studied because of the intrinsically low lithium activity resulting from the highly anisotropic nature of lithium accommodation. Here, we demonstrate that heteroepitaxial engine…

Primary alcohols have been an active area of research since the beginning of the 20th century. The main problem in studying monohydroxy alcohols is the molecular origin of the slower Debye relaxation, whereas the faster process, recognized as structural relaxation, remains much less investigated. This is because in ma…

This paper demonstrates charge order is important in dimerized $\ensuremath{\beta}$- and $\ensuremath{\kappa}$-phase organic conductors similar to the uniform $\ensuremath{\theta}$- and $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-phase conductors. Here the magnitude of the dimerization represents the deviation from the ideal triangular lat…

Abstract A flexible solid‐state supercapacitor is prepared from carbon nanotube (CNT)‐based buckypaper after forming a thin layer of polyethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT) on the surface of the CNTs in the paper. A highly conducting PEDOT phase is obtained by interfacial polymerization, in which polymerization is confined…

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals spontaneous atom diffusion from a Mo(001) support into a MgO thin film doped with transition-metal ions. The amount of interfacial mixing depends on the nature of the dopants and is considerably larger for Fe than for Cr impurities. DFT calculations find the reason for Mo diffu…

The simultaneously oleophobic/hydrophilic coatings are highly desirable in antifogging, oil-water separation, and detergent-free cleaning. However, such coatings require special chemical structure, i.e., perfluorinated backbone and polar end-groups, and are too expensive for real-life application. Here, we have develo…
