Abstract: A negative electrode for a lithium metal battery, a lithium metal battery including the same, and a method of preparing the negative electrode are provided. The negative electrode includes a negative electrode current collector, and a protective layer disposed on the negative electrode current collector. The protective layer includes a first protective layer and a second protective layer disposed between the first protective layer and the negative electrode current collector. The first protective layer includes porous nanostructure particles, and the second protective layer includes polar inorganic particles.

Abstract: A composite anode active material includes: a silicon-containing composite structure; a first carbon-based coating layer on the silicon-containing composite structure and including first amorphous carbon; and second amorphous carbon within the silicon-containing composite structure, wherein the silicon-containing composite structure includes porous silicon secondary particles; and first carbon flakes on the porous silicon secondary particles, the porous silicon secondary particles each including an agglomerate of a plurality of silicon composite primary particles, wherein the silicon composite primary particles include silicon, a silicon suboxide (SiOx, 0<x<2) on the silicon, and second carbon flakes on the silicon suboxide, and wherein the second amorphous carbon is in pores of the porous silicon secondary particles, and the second amorphous carbon includes a heterogeneous element belonging to at least one of Group 15 or Group 17 of the Periodic Table.

Abstract: The apparatus for controlling a display mirror for a vehicle includes an operation mode determiner for determining an operation mode based on a position of a mirror assembly, the mirror assembly accommodating a display for displaying an image obtained by an imaging device within an inner space formed by a mirror coupled to a surface of a mirror housing; a power supply for supplying a power to the display; and a controller configured to adjust an intensity of the power supplied to the display based on the determined operation mode. The operation mode determiner determines between a first operation mode in which an image reflected by the mirror is visible to a driver and a second operation mode in which the image obtained by the imaging device is displayed on the display. In particular, the display remains turned on in the first operation mode and the second operation mode.
