Abstract

The development of energy storage systems in the future relies on identifying suitable target materials and synthesizing target materials with controllable physicochemical properties to unlock their electrochemical contributions. Based on the structure-property-performance relationship established in materials science, it is crucial to determine the fine structure of key functional materials. Among these materials, tunnel-structured beta-FeOOH is widely studied due to its low-cost, decent performance and environmental friendliness; yet, its fine structure in terms of the atomic framework and surface configuration has not been well understood. In this work, we successfully synthesized beta-FeOOH nanorods and analyzed their crystallographic features via transmission electron microscopy (TEM). By combining ultramicrotome and aberration-corrected scanning TEM with atomic resolution, we first experimentally revealed the structural details of beta-FeOOH featuring 1 x 1 tunnels and 2 x 2 tunnels along the c-axis ([001]), the same as the nanorod growth direction. The dominant exposed facets of beta-FeOOH nanorods were further revealed to be {010}. Such fine structural elucidation unveils the long-existing mystery in this material system, which is expected to contribute to structural/compositional engineering toward functionality optimization in the near future.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
