Electrochemical conversion is an eco-friendly and controllable way to achieve sustainable
use of energy. An enhanced energy conversion efficiency requires efficient electrocatalysts …

Conspectus Ages of history are defined by the underlying materials that promoted human
development: stone, bronze, and iron ages. Since the middle of the last century, humanity …

The development of inexpensive electrode materials with a high volumetric capacity and
long cycle-life is a central issue for large-scale lithium-ion batteries. Here, we report a …

Topological chemical reaction methods are indispensable for fabricating new materials or
optimizing their functional properties, which is particularly important for two-dimensional …

Aqueous Zn-ion batteries are desirable for large-scale application over Li-ion batteries due
to the low cost, high safety and environment friendliness. However, the development of Zn …

The control of solid state reaction pathways will enable the design and discovery of new
functional inorganic materials. A range of synthetic approaches have been used to shift solid …

Topochemical reactions have led to great progress in the discovery of new metastable
compounds with novel chemical and physical properties. With these reactions, the overall …

We report on the hydride (H–) conductivity in fluorite-type LnHO oxyhydrides (Ln=
lanthanide) using samples prepared under high pressure. It is found that, despite its …

In this review we describe recent advances in transition metal oxyhydride chemistry
obtained by topochemical routes, such as low temperature reduction with metal hydrides, or …

Solid-state diffusion is often the primary limitation in the synthesis of crystalline inorganic
materials and prevents the potential discovery and isolation of new materials that may not be …
