Just because an intercalated atom can squeeze into a host material doesn’t mean the resulting properties are as anticipated or desired—strain and distortion of the host material during intercalation complicates prediction. Here, a recent study by Banerjee and colleagues at Texas A&M University is highlighted, introducing protecting groups that enable specific site-selection for precision intercalation chemistry.

精密插层化学：电池开发的下一步？

仅仅因为嵌入的原子可以挤入主体材料并不意味着所得特性符合预期或期望——嵌入过程中主体材料的应变和变形使预测复杂化。此处重点介绍了德克萨斯 A&M 大学的 Banerjee 及其同事最近的一项研究，该研究引入了保护基团，可实现精确插层化学的特定位点选择。
