TL;DR: C cathode dissolution in conventional electrolytes has been discovered as the main reason that leads to the rapid growth of the solid electrolyte interphase layer and attributes to rapid cell degradation, and such largely overlooked degradation mechanism is overcome by utilizing electrolyte comprising a fluorinated solvent.

TL;DR: This first look into the dynamic tensile behavior of CNT fibers demonstrates their potential to serve as sensors in high rate applications and real-time electrical measurements provide correlations between high rate deformation/damage mechanical behavior and electrical resistance of the fiber specimens.

TL;DR: In this paper, the electrical response of carbon nanotube fibers to tensile loading was explored. But, the results showed that applied twist compacts the fiber, resulting in increased electrical contact between carbon nanoteubes.

TL;DR: In this paper, an apparatus for use with a reactor for synthesis of nanostructures is provided, which includes a chamber having one end in fluid communication with the reactor and defining a pathway along which a fluid mixture for the synthesis of nanoparticles can be injected into the reactor, and a mechanism is further provided at a distal end of the chamber to minimize turbulent flow as the fluid mixture exits the chamber, and to impart substantially laminar flow thereto.
