IntroductionLeptochloa chinensis is an annual weed in paddy fields, which can Solid state engage in competition with rice, leading to a severe yield reduction.However, theunderlying mechanism governing this interaction remain unknown.MethodsIn this study, we investigated the mutual inhibition between rice and the weed undermono-culture and co-cultu
Kinked silicon nanowires-enabled interweaving electrode configuration for lithium-ion batteries
Abstract A tri-dimensional interweaving kinked silicon nanowires (k-SiNWs) assembly, with a Ni current collector co-integrated, is evaluated as electrode configuration for lithium ion batteries.The large-scale fabrication of k-SiNWs is based on a procedure for continuous metal assisted chemical etching of Si, supported by a chemical peeling step th
