Lithium-rich layered oxides (LRLOs) offer exceptionally high capacities but suffer rapid energy loss because of irreversible ...

A research team has discovered ferroelectric phenomena occurring at a subatomic scale in the natural mineral brownmillerite. The team was led by Prof. Si-Young Choi from the Department of Materials ...

Illite and smectite both consist of aluminosilicate layers alternating with interlayers. In illite the charge of non-exchangeable interlayer cations is balanced by a greater net negative charge on the ...
