Alginic acid (Alg-H) was applied as a novel aqueous binder for LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 (NMC) positive electrode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). We successfully obtained the pH-controlled aqueous slurry without any corrosion of NMC, which can also prevent a corrosion of an aluminum current collector. Using Alg-H can real…

Two effects that have been observed when metals and metal alloys are vibrated during solidification are a decrease in dendritic spacing, which directly affects density, and faster cooling rates and associated solidification times. Because these two effects happen simultaneously during solidification, it is challenging…

Although layered polysilane (LPS) has a graphitelike structure and a higher electric capacity than Si powder, LPS shows poor cycling performance. Therefore, to improve its cyclability, the synthesis of composite materials of LPS and carbon was attempted. Carbon-coated LPS (C-LPS) was prepared by pulsed laser depositio…

A strong spin-orbit interaction leads to a Rashba-type splitting of the bulk bands of BiTeCl, which results in toroidal Fermi surfaces with distinct spin structures depending on the chemical potential. Here, we present spin- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy measurements of the three-dimensional spin-orbit…

Based on the normal-state electronic band structure, the necessary condition for a metal to become a superconductor is the simultaneous occurrence of flat and steep bands at the Fermi level. The sufficient condition at least for conventional superconductors is a strong enough coupling of the flat band states to the la…
