Summary: In this work, the Li ordering and its influence on Li intercalation and plating on graphite, bilayer, and single-layer graphene are investigated. The results show that Li intercalation has a multistage feature for graphite and bilayer graphene. High concentration of Li atoms results in negative discharge voltage in graphite and bilayer graphene. However, Li atoms uniformly cover the surface of single-layer graphene and form an atomic island at high Li concentration.

Summary: GeO2 and GO were reduced to Ge and rGO respectively by a solid-state reduction process, forming Ge/rGO composite. Ge clusters were observed on the rGO graphene layers through transmission electron microscopy. The formation of Ge/rGO composite was confirmed by various analysis methods. The specific surface area, pore volume, and pore size of Ge/rGO composite were measured. The composite showed excellent reversible capacity, rate capability, and cycle life as an anode material in Li-ion batteries.

Summary: In this work, Li3VO4@LiVO2 was introduced into the Mg(NH2)2-2LiH system to enhance the hydrogen absorption and desorption kinetic characteristics. The addition of 10 wt% Li3VO4@LiVO2 greatly improved the hydrogen storage properties, with significant increase in hydrogen absorption and desorption rates, and decrease in the activation energy of hydrogen desorption. Moreover, Li3VO4@LiVO2 also increased the hydrogen absorption and desorption capacities of the sample.

Summary: An efficient method was demonstrated to synthesize centimeter-sized graphene films with over 80% bilayer ratio on confined Cu substrates. The obtained bilayer graphene films showed a 100% AB-stacking structure confirmed by transmission electron microscopy and Raman characterization. The high quality of the bilayer graphene films was also evidenced by tunable band-gap and uniform optical transmittance. This work provides new insights into graphene growth with controlled layer thickness and a new choice for AB-stacked bilayer graphene film production.

Summary: Most theoretical descriptions of stresses induced by freezing are based on the Clapeyron equation, which predicts the pressure exerted by a solid as it cools below its melting temperature. This equation has broad applications beyond glaciology, including geomorphology, civil engineering, food storage, and cryopreservation. However, the equation has limitations, assuming isotropic solid stresses and conditions near bulk equilibrium. In this study, we provide a rigorous derivation of the Clapeyron equation and explore its applicability in anisotropic stress states, demonstrating how the temperature and pressure ranges depend on material properties. We also improve the equation by adding higher-order terms to enhance its agreement with experimental data on pressure melting of ice.

Summary: Lithium (Li) is a promising option for meeting energy demands, but dendritic Li growth and limited electrochemical properties have hindered its practical application. This study proposes a space-confinement-based strategy using stratified carbon pack (SCP) to control condensed Li+-flux in nanoscaled slit spaces, enabling high capacity and stable Li deposition.

Summary: A bimetallic organic-inorganic hybrid complex [Li2Mn3(ipa)(4)(DMF)(4)]( n ) was synthesizedvia solvothermal method and further calcined to prepare a spinel-type lithium manganate (LiMn2O4) cathode. The structure of the complex was characterized using X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis, while the morphology and elements of LiMn2O4 were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The electrochemical properties of LiMn2O4 showed excellent stability, with an initial discharge specific capacity of 95.9 mA h g(-1) at 0.1 C and a capacity retention rate of 89.9% after 500 cycles at 1 C.
