A Refined Set of Universal Force Field Parameters for Some Metal Nodes in Metal-Organic Frameworks

Berend Smit, Yutao Li, Elias Moubarak

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) exhibit promise as porous materials for carbon capture due to their design versatility and large pore sizes. The generic force fields (e.g., UFF and Dreiding) use one universal set of Lennard-Jones parameters for each elemen ...

An integrated flexible film as cathode for High-Performance Lithium-Sulfur battery

Kangning Zhao, Yutao Li, Rui Guo, Wen Liu

Poor cycling stability and low volumetric capacity of sulfur cathode prevents practical application of Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. Herein, we demonstrate a strategy to address the two drawbacks of sulfur cathode by synthesizing a compact and flexible ...

Interspace and Vacancy Modulation: Promoting the Zinc Storage of an Alcohol-Based Organic-Inorganic Cathode in a Water-Organic Electrolyte

Kangning Zhao, Yutao Li

Expanding interspace and introducing vacancies are desired to promote the mobility of Zn ions and unlock the inactive sites of layered cathodes. However, this two-point modulation has not yet been achieved simultaneously in vanadium phosphate. Here, a stra ...
