Challenges for Rechargeable Li Batteries

John B. Goodenough, Youngsik Kim · 28 Aug 2009

The challenges for further development of Li rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles are reviewed. Most important is safety, which requires development of a nonflammable electrolyte with either a larger window between its lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) and highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) or a constituent (or additive) that can develop rapidly a solid/electrolyte-interface (SEI)…

Preparation and Growth Mechanism of Gold Nanorods (NRs) Using Seed-Mediated Growth Method

Babak Nikoobakht, Mostafa A. El‐Sayed · 17 Apr 2003

A method is used for preparing gold NRs with aspect ratios ranging from 1.5 to 10 for which the surface plasmon absorption maxima are between 600 and 1300 nm. This method has been adapted from a previously published seed-mediated growth method (Jana et al. Adv. Mater. 2001, 13, 1389). The disadvantages and limitations of the…

Experimental Determination of the Extinction Coefficient of CdTe, CdSe, and CdS Nanocrystals

William W. Yu, Lianhua Qu, Wenzhuo Guo et al. · 7 Jun 2003

The extinction coefficient per mole of nanocrystals at the first exitonic absorption peak, ε, for high-quality CdTe, CdSe, and CdS nanocrystals was found to be strongly dependent on the size of the nanocrystals, between a square and a cubic dependence. The measurements were carried out using either nanocrystals purified with monitored purification procedures or nanocrystals…

Guidelines for Synthesis and Processing of Two-Dimensional Titanium Carbide (Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub><i>x</i></sub> MXene)

Mohamed Alhabeb, Kathleen Maleski, Babak Anasori et al. · 25 Aug 2017

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides (MXenes) were discovered in 2011. Since the original discovery, more than 20 different compositions have been synthesized by the selective etching of MAX phase and other precursors and many more theoretically predicted. They offer a variety of different properties, making the family promising candidates in a wide…

Single Sheet Functionalized Graphene by Oxidation and Thermal Expansion of Graphite

Michael McAllister, Je-Luen Li, Douglas H. Adamson et al. · 25 May 2007

A detailed analysis of the thermal expansion mechanism of graphite oxide to produce functionalized graphene sheets is provided. Exfoliation takes place when the decomposition rate of the epoxy and hydroxyl sites of graphite oxide exceeds the diffusion rate of the evolved gases, thus yielding pressures that exceed the van der Waals forces holding the graphene…

Chemistry of Materials template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Chemistry of Materials format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Chemistry of Materials template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official American Chemical Society format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Chemistry of Materials use?
Chemistry of Materials uses Superscript numbered (ACS) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: (1) Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Chemistry of Materials 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Chemistry of Materials?
No. DocuGuru generates the achemso LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a American Chemical Society-ready Chemistry of Materials document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Chemistry of Materials template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Chemistry of Materials format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
What is Chemistry of Materials?
ACS journal (achemso). It is a chemistry journal, published by American Chemical Society.
Can I export a submission-ready Chemistry of Materials PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Chemistry of Materials template (the achemso class) that is ready to submit to American Chemical Society, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Chemistry of Materials template cost?
You can start writing in the Chemistry of Materials template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Chemistry of Materials PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
