The beginning of this project dates back to 2012-2013, when team leader Ayrat Dimiev was working at Rice University, Houston, TX, USA, with Professor James Tour. Together with Natnael Behabtu, at that ...

Chiral recognition by an asymmetrically modified clay surface was reported by one of the present authors forty years ago. However, how chiral metal complexes organize in the interlayer space of a clay ...

The physical characteristic known as intercalation is essential for operating many contemporary, cutting-edge technologies, ranging from lithium-ion batteries to next-generation superconductors. Image ...

Peter Bruce of the University of St. Andrews and team have devised a new and efficient way to improve battery power as well as make charge last longer by using lithium oxide intercalation materials.

A single-layer planar carbon sheet with four- and eight-membered rings, known as T-graphene, could be an intrinsic elemental 2D superconductor with a superconducting transition temperature (T c) of ...

The aim of this project was to synthesize unique, inorganic, non-equilibrium structures/materials for industrial use by drastically changing the composition, atomic configuration and electronic ...

From lithium-ion batteries to next-generation superconductors, the functionality of many modern, advanced technologies depends on the physical property known as intercalation. Unfortunately, it's ...
