A passivation layer called the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is formed on electrode
surfaces from decomposition products of electrolytes. The SEI allows Li+ transport and …

Self-assembly is possibly the most effective and versatile strategy for surface
functionalization. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) can be formed on (semi-) conductor …

We review charge transport across molecular monolayers, which is central to molecular
electronics (MolEl), using large-area junctions (NmJ). We strive to provide a wide conceptual …

The solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) is known to dictate the performance of a Li metal
anode, where its inorganic compositions are primarily responsible for Li+ conduction …

Nanoscience includes the study of objects and systems in which at least one dimension is 1-
100 nm. The objects studied in this range of sizes are larger than atoms and small …

Electron tunneling through atomically flat and ultrathin hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) on
gold-coated mica was investigated using conductive atomic force microscopy. Low-bias …

Battery technology is advancing rapidly with new materials and new chemistries; however,
materials stability determining battery lifetime and safety issues constitutes the main …

The structural phases and the growth of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are reviewed
from a surface science perspective, with emphasis on simple model systems. The concept of …

Sintering is the process whereby interparticle pores in a granular material are eliminated by
atomic diffusion driven by capillary forces. It is the preferred manufacturing method for …

This is the report of a DOE-sponsored workshop organized to discuss the status of our
understanding of charge-transfer processes on the nanoscale and to identify research and …
