Summary: Volume variation, pulverization, and dead Sn accumulation are the main drawbacks of using SnO2 particles as anodes in LIBs. This study fabricated [001]-oriented SnO2 nanorods with different thicknesses on carbon cloth and sealed them with partially reduced graphene oxide. The thinnest SnO2 nanorods showed no dead Sn accumulation and greatly suppressed pulverization, while thicker SnO2 nanorods exhibited severe pulverization and aggregation of dead Sn, significantly affecting their electrochemical performance. The rGO@SnO2@CC material with thinner SnO2 nanorods has potential as a promising anode material for LIBs, and this work is beneficial for the development of SnO2-based anode materials for LIBs.

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
