A macroscopic magneto-optical response resulting from local effects in ferronematic liquid crystals

Soft Matter, 2024, 20,8363-8372
DOI: 10.1039/D4SM00577E, Paper
Xiangshen Meng, Xiaowei Li, Jian Li, Yueqiang Lin, Xiaodong Liu, Zhenghong He
The dynamic rotational behavior of composite chains under a rotating magnetic field was observed. The birefringence and dichroism variations in FNLCs mainly stem from the magnetic response of the composite chains, indicating local effects.

Regulating local chemical softness of the collector to homogenize Li deposition for anode-free Li-metal batteries

Energy Environ. Sci., 2024, Advance Article
DOI: 10.1039/D4EE03673E, Paper
Jiaming Zhu, Cong Kang, Xiangjun Xiao, Ya Mao, Ying Luo, Yuheng Wang, Quansheng Zhang, Yulin Ma, Chunyu Du, Shuaifeng Lou, Fanpeng Kong, Jingying Xie, Geping Yin
A heterogeneous collector featuring hard-base sites and soft-acid sites is proposed, which significantly reduces nucleation and growth barriers, with no dendrite formation. This finding offers a pathway to rationally design highly efficient collectors for AFLMBs.
