As a lithium storage material, In2O3 has been hindered by its rapid capacity degradation due to the large volume change during the repeated lithiation and delithiation process, although an initial discharge capacity of more than 1600 mA h g−1.

Abstract The buoyancy control mechanism is critical for undersea robots to achieve effective vertical motion. However, current buoyancy control mechanisms are associated with problems such as complex design, bulky structure, noisy operation, and slow response. Inspired by the swim bladder of natural fish, we develop an artificial swim bladder, using dual membranes of the dielectric elastomer, which exhibit interesting attributes, including fast response, light weight, silent operation, especially large volume change. Both the experiments and theoretical simulations are conducted to analyze the performance of this artificial swim bladder, and they quantitatively agree with each other. This artificial swim bladder of dual membranes is capable of large voltage-induced volume change, 112% larger than the conventional single-membrane design. Consequently, this soft actuator can generate a buoyancy force of 0.49 N. This artificial swim bladder demonstrates effective up-and-down motion in water, due to its large reversible volume change. Future work includes adding horizontal-motion and turning capabilities to the existing robotic structure, so that the soft robotic fish can achieve successful navigation in undersea environments.

Cation-disordered Zn(Cu)–Si–P family materials demonstrate better Li-storage performance than the cation-ordered ZnSiP2 phase due largely to faster electronic and ionic conductivity and better tolerance to volume change during cycling, as confirmed by DFT calculations and experimental measurements.

Thin carbon-coated single Fe3O4 nanocomposite were synthesized by a solvothermal process using dodecylamine. The composite structure can accommodate the large volume change of Fe3O4 and thus enabled excellent electrochemical performance.

C/Fe2O3/CNF composites are produced through a one-pot electrospinning process. The onion-shaped graphene coating layer not only prevents the Fe2O3 particles from peeling off from the carbon nanofiber substrate, but also it buffers the volume change of Fe2O3 and improves the conductivity of the electrode.
