Interfacial friction enabling ≤ 20 μm thin free-standing lithium strips for lithium metal batteries by Shaozhen Huang, Zhibin Wu, Bernt Johannessen, Kecheng Long, Piao Qing, Pan He, Xiaobo Ji, Weifeng Wei, Yuejiao Chen, Libao Chen

“…Abstract A practical high-specific-energy Li metal battery requires thin (≤20 μm) and free-standing Li metal anodes, but the low melting point and strong diffusion creep of lithium metal impede their scalable processing towards thin-thickness and free-standing architecture. In this paper, thin (5 to 50 μm) and free-standing lithium strips were achieved by mechanical rolling, which is determined by the in situ tribochemical reaction between lithium and zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP). …”

Effect of the Mg/Al Ratio on Activated Sol-Gel Hydrotalcites for Photocatalytic Degradation of 2,4,6-Trichlorophenol by Esthela Ramos-Ramírez, Norma L. Gutiérrez-Ortega, Francisco Tzompantzi-Morales, Gloria A. Del Ángel, Claudia Martínez-Gómez, Elizabeth Pabón-Gelves

“…Some of the latter that have acquired importance are phenols and chlorophenols, due to their employment in the manufacture of pesticides, insecticides, cords of wood, paper industry, among others. The problem is rooted in that these compounds are very persistent in the environment because they are partially biodegradable and cannot be photodegraded directly by sunlight. …”

Urban Spatial Naturalness Degree in the Planning of Ultra-High-Density Cities: The Case of Urban Green Open Spaces in Macau by Jitai Li, Fan Lin, Hongcan Cui, Shuai Yang, Yile Chen

“…Among them, the “USND” indicator is defined as “the visual perception rate of blue and green natural elements in the three-dimensional space of urban land”, which is specifically expressed as “the average function of the occupation rate of urban green open space and the visibility rate of blue–green space of main street scenes”. Based on this, this paper estimates the incremental planning indicators of green open space in Macau and various urban areas during the implementation of the Master Plan of Macau (2020–2040). …”
