Abstract

All-solid-state lithium batteries employing inorganic solid electrolytes have been regarded as an ultimate solution to safety issues because of their features of no leakage as well as incombustibility and they are expected to achieve higher energy densities owing to their simplified structure. Two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides exhibit a great potential in energy storage devices because of their unique physical and chemical characteristics. In this work, 50 nm thick highly crystalline layered VS2 (hc-VS2) nanosheets are prepared by a solvothermal method, and their electrochemical performances are evaluated in Li/75% Li2S-24% P2S5-1% P2O5/Li10GeP2S12/hc-VS2 all-solid-state lithium batteries. At 50 mA g-1, hc-VS2 nanosheets show a high reversible capacity of 532.2 mAh g-1 after 30 cycles. Moreover, stable discharge capacities are maintained at 436.8 and 270.4 mAh g-1 at 100 and 500 mA g-1 after 100 cycles, respectively. The superior rate capability and cycling stability are ascribed to the better electronic conductivity and well-developed layered structure. In addition, the electrochemical reaction kinetics and capacity contributions were analyzed via cyclic voltammetry measurements at different scan rates.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
