Abstract: A lithium-ion battery includes an electrode with microscale channels formed in the electrode material and a nanoscale conformal coating over the electrode material. The channels promote Li-ion transport to the interior of the electrode during charging, and the coating acts as an artificial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) in place of the SEI that is typically formed during initial charge cycles of a Li-ion battery. The coating can be selected to have a lower impedance than a naturally formed SEI and can be formed in a more controlled manner prior to cell assembly. Cold-charging performance of the resulting battery is enhanced more than would be expected by the individual contributions of the channels and the coating.

The bioactive target analyte can indicate presence of cancerous cells or mutated proteins in the biological fluid sample taken from a subject.

Exosomes from lung cancer patients can be distinguished from healthy donor exosomes by chiroptical spectroscopic signatures of biomolecular components. Mutation/deletion of epidermal growth factor receptor are also characterized, suggesting the possibility for in-depth mutation profiling in addition to cancer diagnostics.
