Abstract: A method and a system are provided that include providing a user interface (UI) of a first application, the user interface of the first application comprising a list of tasks, a visual status indicator of a status of each task in the list, and an assignment UI element to request that a corresponding task on the list be completed, receiving, via the user interface of the first application, user input indicating a request of a user to create a new task, causing the new task to be added to the list of tasks in the user interface of the first application with a first visual status indicator indicating that a status of the new task is incomplete, receiving, via the user interface of the first application, a user selection of the assignment UI element to request that the new task be completed on behalf of the user, causing a first notification indicating the new task and the request to complete the new task on behalf of the user to be sent to a second application, receiving a second notification associated with the

Abstract: This application relates to lithium batteries with a novel cathode comprising a current collector, at least one first active material layer comprising a conversion active material, and at least one second active material layer comprising a lithium ion intercalation active material.

Abstract: This application relates to nanostructured materials having selectively permeable structures that separate a liquid phase contained within the nanostructure from a volume outside of the nanostructure, and methods of making same. Such materials may be used in the manufacture of lithium anode compositions for secondary batteries or other energy storage devices.

Abstract: This application relates to nanostructured materials, such as nanoparticles, comprising anion-functionalized conductive polymers and methods of making same. The nanostructures may be used as electrode materials for secondary batteries or other energy storage devices.

Abstract: This application relates to nanoparticles having improved electroactive cores comprising polythionate molecules (e.g. compounds with a structure ?O3S—(S)n—SO3?) encapsulated in shells, such as those that may be used as electrode materials for secondary batteries or other energy storage devices, and methods of making same.

Abstract: This application relates to nanostructures, such as nanoparticles, having covalently cross-linked, conductive polymer shells, such as those that may be used as electrode materials for secondary batteries or other energy storage devices, and methods of making same.
