Tracing the chemical footprint of shocks in AGN-host and starburst galaxies with ALMA multi-line molecular studies

Faraday Discuss., 2023, 245,181-198
DOI: 10.1039/D3FD00007A, Paper
Ko-Yun Huang, Serena Viti
We present an astrochemical modeling study with the aim of comparing shock chemistry traced by HNCO and SiO in two distinctively different environments: the AGN dominated region in the CND of NGC 1068 and the starburst-dominated region in the CMZ of NGC 253.

Self-sufficient metal–air battery systems enabled by solid-ion conductive interphases

Faraday Discuss., 2023, Advance Article
DOI: 10.1039/D3FD00112A, Paper
Shuo Jin, Shifeng Hong, Xiaosi Gao, Yue Deng, Yong Lak Joo, Lynden A. Archer
Rechargeable metal–air batteries operated in ambient air fail as a result of complex anode surface reactions. Interphases composed of metallic In protect Li anodes, enabling Li–air batteries to operate in ambient air.
