Amorphous mesoporous GeO x anode for Na-ion batteries with high capacity and long lifespan.

abstract：:Trait analysis has become a crucial tool for assessing the extinction risk of species. While some extinction risk-trait relationships have been often identical between different living taxa, a temporal comparison of fossil taxa with related current taxa was rarely considered. However, we argue that it is important to ...
