Breaking Through the Bottleneck in Lithium–Iodine Battery Research with the Unified Descriptor

High-energy-density battery systems such as lithium–iodine (Li–I₂) batteries have drawn considerable attention in recent years owing to their low cost, high theoretical energy density, and excellent fast-charging capability. However, the iodine cathode readily generates soluble polyiodides during cycling, and the resulting shuttle effect causes active-material loss and rapid capacity fade. Conventional physical adsorption offers only limited confinement of polyiodides, whereas a chemical anchori

80% Stress Reduction! Innovative Design Frees All-Solid-State Lithium–Sulfur Batteries from Reliance on High External Pressure

All-solid-state lithium–sulfur batteries (ASSLSBs), combining high theoretical energy density with intrinsic safety advantages, are regarded as a highly promising next-generation energy storage technology. In practical operation, however, they typically require external stack pressures of tens to even hundreds of megapascals to alleviate interfacial mismatch, contact loss and mechanochemical failure induced by electrode volume changes. This reliance on high pressure not only complicates engineer

Chlorine Electrosynthesis Gains a Lanthanide "Bridge"

Chlorine is one of the most important basic chemicals in the modern chemical industry, widely used in water treatment, disinfectant production, organic chemistry, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and many other fields. Currently, industrial chlorine production is realized primarily through chlor‑alkali electrolysis. However, the conventional chlorine evolution reaction (CER) still suffers from high energy consumption, insufficient noble metal utilization, and competition from the oxygen evolution s

Bridging-Oxygen-Driven Ultrafast Amorphization Unblocks the Mass-Production Bottleneck for All-Solid-State Sodium-Ion Battery Electrolytes

All-solid-state sodium-ion batteries hold broad promises for applications such as electric vehicles and large-scale grid storage, owing to the abundant sodium resources, the absence of flammable liquid electrolytes, and their pronounced cost advantages. The solid electrolyte is the core material that determines the practical performance and industrial viability of these batteries, yet the prevailing mechanochemical ball-milling synthesis route faces a critical manufacturing pain point: preparing

Empowering Next-Generation Electronic Devices: A Critical Breakthrough in Two-Dimensional Room-Temperature Multiferroics

As electronic devices continue to evolve toward thinner, more efficient, and miniaturized form factors, multiferroic materials that simultaneously possess magnetism and ferroelectricity have become a focal point of research. By harnessing the interplay between these two distinctive properties, they hold the promise of enabling more sensitive sensors and memory devices with faster read–write speeds.Suhuai Wei, Chair Professor and Dean of the School of Physics in the College of Science at the East

A Breakthrough Moment for the Century-Old Extreme Value Theory

From constantly shattered sports records to geographically divergent human lifespans; from erratic geological hazards to volatile financial risks—the real world is replete with messy, heterogeneous data. Since the birth of modern extreme value theory nearly a century ago, the classical theory has been shackled by the strict assumption of identically distributed data, making it exceedingly difficult to estimate extreme bounds accurately from vast, heterogeneous datasets. Solving the statistical c

Wei Xia's Team | "Films" the Ball-Milling Reaction, Revealing How a Solid Electrolyte Transforms from Crystalline into an Amorphous Product

In the world of chemistry and materials science, order is often regarded as synonymous with high performance. The more regular the crystal structure, the easier it seems to understand, design, and optimize. Yet, in the field of all-solid-state batteries, some seemingly “less ordered” amorphous materials are showing unexpected promise.A team led by Assistant Professor Wei Xia of the Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo (EIT), in collaboration with the Southern University of Science and Technol

Chunmiao Zheng and Wenhui Qiu's Team | Microplastics Impact Gut Health — Study Reveals the "Invisible Invader"

Have you heard of microplastics? These plastic fragments, invisible to the naked eye and smaller than 5 millimeters in diameter, are found in water, food, and even the air. A collaborative study by multiple research institutions has for the first time systematically analyzed microplastics in human intestinal tumourtissues and found that the detection of microplastics is statistically associated with an increased risk of tumour recurrence and worsening gastrointestinal symptoms.This work delves d
