Lithium–oxygen batteries with an exceptionally high theoretical energy density have triggered worldwide interest in energy storage system. The research focus of lithium–oxygen batteries lies in the development of catalytic materials with excellent cycling stability and high bifunctional catalytic activity in oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reactions. Here, a hierarchically porous flower‐like cobalt–titanium layered double oxide on nickel foam with intercalated anions of bistrifluoromethane sulfonamide (TFSI) is designed and prepared. When used as a binder‐free cathode for lithium–oxygen batteries, this material exhibits low polarization (initial polarization of 0.45 V) and superior cycling stability (80 cycles at a current density of 100 mA g−1 at full discharge/charge). The high electrochemical performance of the cathode material is attributed to the good dispersion of binary elements in its host layer and good compatibility with lithium bistrifluoromethane sulfonamide electrolyte induced by intercalated guest anions of TFSI within its interlayer. This work provides a novel strategy for the fabrication of binder‐free cathodes based on layered double oxides for high‐performance lithium–oxygen batteries.

Enzymatic extrusion liquefaction has been a popular thermal treatment for cereals, and gradually being applied in fermentation and liquor-making industry all over the world. The characterization of volatile flavor compounds in Chinese rice wine processed by enzymatic extrusion liquefaction pretreatment, might be made use not only for a better understanding of this new-type rice wine, but for the further utilization of enzymatic extrusion in other wine or alcohol production as well.

Sn/SnO nanoparticles are incorporated in crumpled nitrogen-doped graphene nanosheets by a simple melting diffusion method. The resulting composite exhibits large specific capacity, excellent cycling stability and high rate capability as an anode for lithium-ion batteries.
