Summary: In this paper, the band structure of the zigzag-edged ribbon of a bilayer photonic graphene is theoretically investigated, taking into account the presence of PT-symmetric imaginary potentials. The results show that these potentials have remarkable effects on the energy and topological properties of the edge states, and when interlayer level detuning is introduced, complex Dirac cones can arise.

Summary: This study investigates the impacts of irregular electrode shape on lithiation performance. It finds that uneven lithiation and edge effects occur in square electrodes, leading to poorer cyclic performance. Numerical simulations reveal that strong electric fields near the electrode edges result in highly inhomogeneous lithium flux, causing fast lithiation saturation and dendrite growth. The same edge effects are also observed in face-to-face electrodes, leading to a fake lithiation saturation phenomenon. Strategies to minimize edge effects, such as reducing electrode sharp tips, are suggested to improve electrochemical performance.

Summary: The study estimated the solvent effect on AAB-TCP using different models and found that the solvent effect almost quadrupled the static first hyperpolarizability. By considering the direct interaction within the supermolecule model and estimations at the semicontinuum level, further increases in the first hyperpolarizability were observed, demonstrating the role of solute-solvent hydrogen bonding.

Summary: Storing larger amounts of energy is crucial due to the emergence of more renewable and intermittent energy sources. This study investigates the effect of water concentration in the electrolyte of Li-O-2 batteries on discharge capacity and cyclability. Results show that a water concentration of 550 ppm increases discharge capacity by over 300%, but higher water concentrations lead to reduced cyclability.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of electrochemical pre-lithiation on layered oxide cathodes LiNiO2 and LiCoO2 in anode-free lithium-metal batteries (AFLMBs). The research finds that LiCoO2 shows better cycle performance than LiNiO2 under an optimal amount of excess Li, and proposes a promising approach for developing tailor-made layered oxide cathodes for AFLMBs.

Summary: Pre-lithiation technology significantly impacts the electrochemical performance of high SiOx content cells, improving the initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) and cycling stability. The study investigated the effects of different pre-lithiation amounts on capacity and cycling stability of LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 || SiOx/Graphite pouch cells. Increasing pre-lithiation amounts greatly improved cell capacity, but also accelerated aging. The study highlights the complex relationship between pre-lithiation amounts and electrochemical performance, particularly in SiOx-based cells.

Summary: In this work, cobalt-edged nickel alloy is designed as a host material for sulfur cathodes in lithium-sulfur batteries to manipulate the behavior and morphology of Li2S deposition. The difference in catalytic kinetic characteristics of Co and Ni and the geometrical effect of Co-edged Ni alloy result in a well-spaced morphology, preventing premature surface passivation and improving sulfur utilization and rate capability of the cathodes. This study provides insights for developing new host materials and understanding the existing works in lithium-sulfur batteries.

Summary: Lithiation and delithiation in electrodes can lead to internal stress evolution, potentially causing mechanical damage to batteries. This study analytically solves the diffusion-induced stress in a hollow cylindrical electrode under galvanostatic or potentiostatic charging, considering the end effect of diffusion-induced bending, and investigates the significant effects of charging mode and end constraints on stress distribution at the end faces of the electrodes.

Summary: This study examined the crashworthiness performance of glass fiber reinforced polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tubes through quasi-static axial compression tests. The results showed that the reinforcement of GFRP significantly increased all crashworthiness characteristics. Among the various fiber orientations tested, higher fiber orientations generally led to improvements in load-bearing capacity, crush force efficiency, and energy absorption capability, with the exception of the GFRP/PVC 45 degrees specimen, which exhibited the best specific energy absorption capacity.

Summary: This paper studies a method of using a lithium battery system to heat an office building. By placing the battery packs inside the air duct, the batteries can be cooled and the heat can be directed into the building. Among different models, the one with three outlets can reduce heating energy consumption, but it also results in a larger pressure drop.
