Abstract: An anode in an electrochemical cell includes an anode active material comprising sodium and a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer disposed on the anode active material. The SEI layer includes reduction products of an electrolyte solvent and is free of degradation products derived from dissolved anions of an electrolyte salt. The electrolyte solvent and the electrolyte salt are present in an electrolyte of the electrochemical cell. The SEI layer does not include a fluorine content greater than 5 wt. %.

Abstract: Avatar animation systems disclosed herein provide high quality, real-time avatar animation that is based on the varying countenance of a human face. In some example embodiments, the real-time provision of high quality avatar animation is enabled, at least in part, by a multi-frame regressor that is configured to map information descriptive of facial expressions depicted in two or more images to information descriptive of a single avatar blend shape. The two or more images may be temporally sequential images. This multi-frame regressor implements a machine learning component that generates the high quality avatar animation from information descriptive of a subject's face and/or information descriptive of avatar animation frames previously generated by the multi-frame regressor.

Abstract: A clothing processing apparatus included in an Internet of Things (IoT) system is provided. The clothing processing apparatus includes a communication interface and a processor configured to perform a process including at least one clothing processing operation.

Abstract: Quantum dots surface-modified with a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 or Chemical Formula 2, a curable composition including the quantum dots, a cured layer, and a color filter. In Chemical Formula 1 and Chemical Formula 2, each substituent is the same as defined in the specification.

Abstract: An electroluminescent layer according to the present invention comprises a core-shell particle comprising a perovskite crystal core and a shell of a dielectric polymer, wherein a charge transfer pathway to the perovskite crystal core is formed by dielectric breakdown of the dielectric polymer. The electroluminescent layer according to the present invention can prevent the deterioration of perovskite crystals due to external moisture, oxygen, or the like since the perovskite crystal core is enclosed and protected by the dielectric polymer and can have improved charge transfer and injection efficiencies since charges are directly transferred and injected to the perovskite crystals through the charge transfer pathway formed by dielectric breakdown of the dielectric polymer.

Abstract: A separator for a lithium secondary battery and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The separator comprises a metal organic framework (MOF) layer formed by Langmuir-Blodgett method, and prevents shuttle phenomenon caused by polysulfide leaching from a positive electrode which includes a sulfur-containing material, and thereby improving cycle stability of a lithium secondary battery.

Abstract: A porous carbon structure, a method for preparing the same, and a battery comprising the same are provided. The porous carbon structure has a core-shell structure including a core and a shell, the core comprising a first metal organic framework (MOF), and the shell comprising a second MOF, and the first MOF and the second MOF have different component elements and pore structure from each other. The porous carbon structure, when applied as a sulfur carrier, prevents leaching of polysulfide generated at a positive electrode into an electrolyte solution, and thereby improving performance and lifetime characteristics of a battery using sulfur as a positive electrode active material.
