Ke Wang et al.

Summary: In this study, Ga2O3 nanoparticles with a size of about 4 nm were synthesized via a sol-gel method, and three types of carbon materials were employed to improve the conductivity of Ga2O3. Among the carbon materials, reduced graphene oxide was found to be the most effective in providing attachment points for Ga ions, leading to a more uniform distribution of Ga2O3 nanoparticles. The Ga2O3/rGO electrode showed stable capacity retention at a current density of 1000 mA g(-1) after 600 cycles, indicating a promising approach to enhance the electrochemical stability of Li-ion batteries.

Progress and Challenges for All-Solid-State Sodium Batteries

Hui-Ling Yang et al.

Summary: All-solid-state sodium batteries (ASSBs) are considered the next generation of sustainable energy storage systems due to abundant sodium resources and high energy density. However, challenges such as limited types of solid-state electrolytes, low ionic conductivity, high impedance, interface issues, and Na dendrite growth still need to be addressed for practical applications.
