Abstract Potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) are a potential candidate to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) but possess unsatisfactory capacity and rate properties. Herein, the metallic cobalt selenide quantum dots (Co0.85Se-QDs) encapsulated in mesoporous carbon matrix were designed via a direct hydrothermal method. Specifically, the cobalt selenide/carbon composite (Co0.85Se-QDs/C) possesses tertiary hierarchical structure, which is the primary quantum dots, the secondary petals flake, and the tertiary hollow micropolyhedron framework. Co0.85Se-QDs are homogenously embedded into the carbon petals flake, which constitute the hollow polyhedral framework. This unique structure can take the advantages of both nanoscale and microscale features: Co0.85Se-QDs can expand in a multidimensional and ductile carbon matrix and reduce the K-intercalation stress in particle dimensions; the micropetals can restrain the agglomeration of active materials and promote the transportation of potassium ion and electron. In addition, the hollow carbon framework buffers volume expansion, maintains the structural integrity, and increases the electronic conductivity. Benefiting from this tertiary hierarchical structure, outstanding K-storage performance (402 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles at 50 mA g−1) is obtained when Co0.85Se-QDs/C is used as KIBs anode. More importantly, the selenization process in this work is newly reported and can be generally extended to prepare other quantum dots encapsulated in edge-limited frameworks for excellent energy storage.

A numerical analysis using Finite Element Models of different stress buffer configurations has been proposed for improving the reliability of solder joints and at the same time decrease the induced stresses in the back-end-of-line (BEOL). A non-underfilled Flip Chip with a silicon die size of 10×10 mm2 mounted on a FR4 board has been used as test vehicle. The die to substrate interconnection is done by using copper pillars and Sn solder with a diameter of 50 μm and a total standoff of 50 μm. The thickness of the passivation, a copper pedestal fabricated as a redistribution I/O pad and a polymeric buffer layer with different geometric configurations were used in combination to minimize the induced stresses in the BEOL and increase the flexibility of the copper pillar interconnections. It was found that a stiff layer below the copper pillar has the major contribution to reduce the stress in the BEOL, while the softer buffer layer minimizes the induced plastic strain in the solder interconnection. Fabrication of the samples with optimal configuration are under progress.
