Polymer-thin films are critical dielectric materials for capacitive energy storage in power and electronic systems. The rapid development of wide bandgap semiconductors urgently calls for polymers that can attain high energy density and high charge-discharge efficiency at elevated temperatures. However, high-temperature polymers usually suffer from compromised dielectric breakdown strength and soaring conduction loss due to the intrinsic constraint between their bandgaps and thermal stability. In this work, we propose a facile and high throughput interface engineering technique utilizing nanocoatings formed by montmorillonite (MMT) nanoclays, which can serve as an out-of-the-box solution to bypass this constraint. The highly ordered MMT-based nanocoatings with layered structure can significantly block the excessive charge injection at high electric fields and dissipate the charge carriers along the in-plane direction. The MMT-coated PI films exhibit improved breakdown strength, suppressed conduction loss, and boosted charging-discharging efficiency. This work holds the promise of improving the dielectric properties of polymers through surface engineering, enabling their application at concurrent electrical and thermal extremes.
Although Ni-rich layered oxide materials widely used as the cathode of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) possess several interesting properties e.g., high energy density, they encounter severe capacity degradation and intr...

316L stainless steel (SS) is extensively utilized in medical devices, including internal stents, due to its superior mechanical properties. With the increasing prevalence of implanted metal devices, microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) has become a serious issue, potentially threatening patient health by increasing the risk of exposure to harmful metal ions in the body. However, the MIC behavior and mechanisms of 316L SS within the intestinal environment are not well understood. This study presents the first evidence that the intestinal electroactive bacterium Lactobacillus plantarum is involved in the MIC of 316L SS. By combining genetic, electrochemical, and materials characterization approaches, we demonstrated that the MIC of 316L SS by L. plantarum was mediated through an extracellular electron transfer (EET) mechanism. The deletion of key EET pathway genes pplA and eetB , significantly attenuated the corrosion by L. plantarum . Materials characterizations further confirmed that L. plantarum disrupts the passive film on the surface of 316L SS via the EET pathway. This study aids the understanding of intestinal MIC mechanisms and the development of novel medical device materials resistant to microbial corrosion.

The widely used trimethylaluminum (TMA)/water atomic layer deposition (ALD) chemistry has been shown to improve the electrochemical cycling stability of LiMO2materials, including nickel-rich LiNixMnyCo1-x-yO2(x> 0.5). However, there are many process options users must select when choosing to perform ALD, which makes comparison of ALD-on-LiMO2papers difficult. This work studies the significance of three ALD process parameters (temperature, number of ALD cycles, and termination step) on the polycrystalline LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2(NMC811) electrochemical performance using a 23full factorial design. We observe that termination on a half-step (TMA) leads to inferior electrochemical performance. This work also evaluates the role of the TMA/water ALD process on doped NMC811 powder. When fabricated into full cells and assessed for discharge capacity and energy, overall cell resistances at low and high states of delithiation, and pulse power, the ALD-coated sample did not perform significantly better or worse compared to the uncoated, doped NMC811. Our findings suggest that rather than serving as a barrier film from the electrolyte, low cycle counts of TMA/H2O ALD fulfill a role similar to that of the dopants added during the NMC synthesis steps.
