Li–O 2 batteries are attractive systems because they can deliver much higher energy densities than those of conventional lithium-ion batteries by engaging light gas-phase oxygen as a cathode active material. However, the inevitable generation of residual superoxide radicals gives rise to irreversible side reactions an…

We discuss the growth process of a crystalline phase out of a metastable over-compressed liquid that is brought into contact with a crystalline substrate. The process is modeled by means of molecular dynamics. The particles interact via the Lennard-Jones potential and their motion is locally thermalized by Langevin dy…

Polyaniline (PANI), a promising conducting polymer for supercapacitor, exhibits high specific capacitance and good rate capability. However, it suffers from low cycling stability due to the breakage or scission of polymer chains and loss of contact caused by the volume change during the charge–discharge, as well as th…
