Since 2009, lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have been attracting much research interest, ascribed to their high energy density and cost-effectiveness. However, their S cathodes are harassed by the poor conductivity, shuttling of lithium polysulfides (LPSs), and large...

Incorporation of small molecules in silicate melts may provide an important mecha-nism for storing noble gases in the deep Earth, yet the means by which chemicallyinert noble gases enter and are retained in silica-based materials is not understood.High pressure, room...

Graphite capsules are commonly used in high-temperature, high-pressure experiments, particularly for nominally anhydrous experiments and iron-bearing silicate samples. Due to the presence of graphite in the sample assembly, the oxygen fugacity for these experiments is...

WN6 phase discovered at 126–165 GPa after heating of W in nitrogen. XRD refinements reveal a unit cell in space group R¯3m which is consistent with the WN6 structure with armchairlike hexazine (N6) rings, while strong A1g Raman mode confirms its N─N single bonds....
