    Yin and Yang in Electrolyte for Lithium Ion Batteries

    A research team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) employed the philosophy of yin and yang to manipulate the polymer electrolyte with high safety and reliability for power lithium ion batteries.
      Taichi, a kind of traditional Chinese boxing, is called as “the quintessence of the Chinese culture”. The Taichi mainly refers to yin and yang. The conflicting and interdependent relations between the yin and yang are the general rules in t...

    Self-healing Behavior of Organolead Halide Perovskite Film

    A room-temperature, ultrafast methylamine-induced defect-healing (MIDH) technology was developed to gain better control over the crystallization of perovskite from solution.
      Owing to their unique optical, electric and magnetic properties as well as simple preparation and inexpensive fabrication routes, organolead halide perovskites have become an attractive light-absorber with a rapid improvement of efficiencies ...
