Stabilizing lithium-metal electrodes with polymer coatings - Nature Energy

3 weeks ago | nature.com | Zhuojun Huang |Hao Lyu |Yi Cui

AbstractIncreasing the energy density of batteries can accelerate the deployment of electric vehicles, expand the utilization of renewable energy and, in turn, reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Different from commercially available lithium-ion batteries, high-energy-density lithium-metal batteries use metallic lithium instead of graphite as the negative electrode. The commercialization of lithium-metal batteries is hindered by the electrochemical instability of lithium metal.
Integrating photochemical and photothermal effects for selective oxidative coupling of methane into C2+ hydrocarbons with multiple active sites - Nature Communications

2 months ago | nature.com | Hui Song |Hengming Huang |Shangbo Ning |Shengyao Wang |Yuxiang Weng |Yi Cui | +4 more

AbstractThe direct photocatalytic oxidation of methane to value-added chemicals has garnered considerable interest in recent years. However, achieving high productivity while maintaining high selectivity at an appreciable methane conversion rate remains a formidable challenge.
Integrated spatial morpho-transcriptomics predicts functional traits in pancreatic cancer

2 months ago | biorxiv.org | Dennis Gong |Rachel Liu |Yi Cui |Michael Rhodes

AbstractAnalyses of patient-derived cell lines have greatly enhanced discovery of molecular biomarkers and therapeutic targets. However, characterization of cellular morphological properties is limited. We studied cell morphologies of human pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cell lines and their associations with drug sensitivity, gene expression, and functional properties.
Exploring the knowledge mapping and research trends of cross-border e-commerce

Feb 17, 2025 | sajems.org | Yi Cui |Yi Shi |Meng Gu |Jie Li

Background: Driven by economic globalisation and technological advancements, cross-border e-commerce (CBEC) has witnessed unprecedented growth. This dynamic sector has attracted significant scholarly attention, leading to a proliferation of fragmented research. However, traditional literature reviews often lack the objectivity and depth required for a thorough understanding of the field.
Termination-acidity tailoring of molybdenum carbides for alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction - Nature Communications

Jan 6, 2025 | nature.com | Yi Cui

AbstractTransition-metal carbides have been advocated as the promising alternatives to noble-metal platinum-based catalysts in electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction over half a century. However, the effectiveness of transition-metal carbides catalyzing hydrogen evolution in high-pH electrolyte is severely compromised due to the lowered proton activity and intractable alkaline-leaching issue of transition-metal centers.
Sub-cellular Imaging of the Entire Protein-Coding Human Transcriptome (18933-plex) on FFPE Tissue Using Spatial Molecular Imaging

Dec 3, 2024 | biorxiv.org | Erin Piazza |Yi Cui |Michael Patrick |Rustem Khafizov

AbstractSingle-cell RNA-seq revolutionized single-cell biology, by providing a complete whole transcriptome view of individual cells. Regrettably, this was accomplished only for individual, tissue-dissociated cells. High-plex spatial biology has begun to recover the x, y, and z-coordinates of single-cells, but typically at the expense of far less than whole transcriptome coverage.
Electrochemical formation of bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide-derived solid-electrolyte interphase at Li-metal potential - Nature Chemistry

Dec 2, 2024 | nature.com | Weilai Yu |Kuan-Yu Lin |David Boyle |Michael Tang |Yi Cui |Yuelang Chen | +8 more

AbstractLithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide-based liquid electrolytes are promising for realizing high coulombic efficiency and long cycle life in next-generation Li-metal batteries. However, the role of anions in the formation of the solid–electrolyte interphase remains unclear.
Manipulating C-C coupling pathway in electrochemical CO2 reduction for selective ethylene and ethanol production over single-atom alloy catalyst - Nature Communications

Nov 25, 2024 | nature.com | Yifan Li |Sung-Fu Hung |Ying-Rui Lu |Yi Cui |Xiaofeng Yang |Xuning Li | +1 more

AbstractManipulation C-C coupling pathway is of great importance for selective CO2 electroreduction but remain challenging. Herein, two model Cu-based catalysts, by modifying Cu nanowires with Ag nanoparticles (AgCu NW) and Ag single atoms (Ag1Cu NW), respectively, are rationally designed for exploring the C-C coupling mechanisms in electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR).

Assessing cathode–electrolyte interphases in batteries - Nature Energy

Oct 6, 2024 | nature.com | Jie Xiao |Yujing Bi |Jordi Cabana |Yi Cui |Marca Doeff |Kevin Leung | +10 more

AbstractThe cathode–electrolyte interphase plays a pivotal role in determining the usable capacity and cycling stability of electrochemical cells, yet it is overshadowed by its counterpart, the solid–electrolyte interphase. This is primarily due to the prevalence of side reactions, particularly at low potentials on the negative electrode, especially in state-of-the-art Li-ion batteries where the charge cutoff voltage is limited.
