Realizing high-rate capability and high-efficiency utilization of polyanionic cathode materials is of great importance for practical sodium-ion batteries(SIBs) since they usually suffer from extremely low electronic conductivity and limited ionic diffusion kinetics. Herein, taking Na_(3.5)V_(1.5)Mn_(0.5)(PO_(4))_(3)(NVMP) as an example, a reinforced concrete-like hierarchical and porous hybrid(NVMP@C@3DPG) built from 3D graphene(“rebar”) frameworks and in situ generated carbon coated NVMP(“concrete”) has been developed by a facile polymer assisted self-assembly and subsequent solid-state method. Such hybrids deliver superior rate capability(73.9 m Ah/g up to 20 C) and excellent cycling stability in a wide temperature range with a high specific capacity of 88.4 m Ah/g after 5000 cycles at 15 C at room temperature, and a high capacity retention of 97.1% after 500 cycles at 1 C(-20 ℃), and maintaining a high reversible capacity of 110.3 m Ah/g in full cell. This work offers a facile and efficient strategy to develop advanced polyanionic cathodes with high-efficiency utilization and 3D electron/ion transport systems.

The phenomenon of oxygen adsorption induced surface restructuring is widespread across various metal-oxygen systems, yet its impact on initiating bulk oxide formation remains largely unexplored. Through in situ atomic-resolution electron microscopy observations of surface oxidation of Cu(110) and Cu85Au15(110), we unveil intermittent oxide-film growth modulated by oxygen-induced surface restructuring. This modulation is evidenced by repeated pinning of the Cu2O growth front at isolated Cu columns of the c(6×2)-O reconstruction, owing to required long-range diffusion of Cu and O atoms to the Cu2O growth front. We reveal that Cu vacancies, generated at the Cu2O growth front, are injected into the Cu2O/Cu interface, inducing hill and valley undulation of the Cu2O film. In contrast, atomic vacancies produced during the Cu85Au15(110) oxidation preferentially migrate into interfaces between Au-rich and Au-poor regions in the bulk, resulting in a flat and adherent Cu2O film. These findings demonstrate the critical role of oxygen-induced surface restructuring in modulating oxide film growth kinetics and the manipulability of the fate of injected vacancies by alloying, thereby offering insights applicable to a broader range of metal-oxygen systems for fine-tuning oxidation kinetics and enhancing oxide/metal interfacial adhesion.

Here it is shown that the exciton interactions within organic dye aggregates, as modeled by the Frenkel Hamiltonian, enable the construction of an on-off switchable exciton gate. In this construction, a single exciton residing on a controlling gate molecule may pass or inhibit the ballistic propagation of an exciton in a proximal gate channel consisting of an array of dye molecules. High on-off ratios in excess of 102 can be achieved through the use of static difference dipole-dipole interactions between the gate and the gate channel which effectively creates a switchable Bragg grating. The gate channel and controlling gate molecule exhibit entanglement with the quantum-mechanical superposition of the presence and absence of exciton occupation on the gate molecule.

The classical Pauli particle(CPP) serves as a slow manifold, substituting the conventional guiding center dynamics. Based on the CPP, we utilize the averaged vector field(AVF) method in the computations of drift orbits. Demonstrating significantly higher efficiency, this advanced method is capable of accomplishing the simulation in less than one-third of the time of directly computing the guiding center motion. In contrast to the CPP-based Boris algorithm, this approach inherits the advantages of the AVF method, yielding stable trajectories even achieved with a tenfold time step and reducing the energy error by two orders of magnitude. By comparing these two CPP algorithms with the traditional RK4 method, the numerical results indicate a remarkable performance in terms of both the computational efficiency and error elimination. Moreover, we verify the properties of slow manifold integrators and successfully observe the bounce on both sides of the limiting slow manifold with deliberately chosen perturbed initial conditions. To evaluate the practical value of the methods, we conduct simulations in non-axisymmetric perturbation magnetic fields as part of the experiments,demonstrating that our CPP-based AVF method can handle simulations under complex magnetic field configurations with high accuracy, which the CPP-based Boris algorithm lacks. Through numerical experiments, we demonstrate that the CPP can replace guiding center dynamics in using energy-preserving algorithms for computations, providing a new, efficient, as well as stable approach for applying structure-preserving algorithms in plasma simulations.
