Researchers have demonstrated a process to prepare morphologically tailored carbon materials with good electrochemical capacity and stability for sodium-ion battery anodes.
Scientific Achievement
Found that, when confined in the ~ 5 Å wide channels in a beryl crystal, the water molecule undergoes quantum tunneling between six symmetrically equivalent positions around the c-axis in the structure.
Significance and Impact
