Conversion-type anode materials have been intensely studied for application in Li-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their potentially higher capacities than current graphite-based anodes. This work reports the development of a ...

Methane has long captured the world's attention for being the simplest yet one of the most notorious hydrocarbons. Exploring its potential to be converted into value-added products has raised compelling interest. In the ...

Melting in finite size systems is an interesting but complex phenomenon. Many factors affect melting and owing to their interdependencies it is a challenging task to rationalize their roles in the phase transition. In this ...
