Summary: This study compares the effects of carbon black and nitrogen-doped graphene nanosheets in lithium-sulfur batteries, finding that the 2D structure of N-GNS has lower structural defects and larger surface area, leading to higher capacity retention but hindered Li-ion transportation. In contrast, the 0D structure of CB facilitates Li-ion transportation but results in severe shuttling behavior of LPSs. Combining CB and N-GNS can achieve better performance in Li-S batteries.

Summary: This contribution describes the self-assembly of colloidal nanodumbbells (NDs) with tunable shapes within cylindrical channels. The intrinsic concave geometry of NDs endows them with peculiar packing and interlocking behaviors, leading to a variety of super-structures. A mechanistic investigation reveals that the phase behavior of NDs under strong confinement can be rationalized by the entropy-driven maximization of the packing efficiency. An empirical phase diagram is generated based on the experimental results, which could provide general guidance in the design of intended superstructures from NDs. This study provides essential insight into how the interplay between the particle shape and confinement conditions can be exploited to direct the orientationally ordered assembly of concave nanoparticles into unusual superlattices.
