Set forth herein are compositions comprising A.(LiBH).B.(LiX).C.(LiNH), wherein X is fluorine, bromine, chloride, iodine, or a combination thereof, and wherein 0.1&#x2264;A&#x2264;3, 0.1&#x2264;B&#x2264;4, and 0&#x2264;C&#x2264;9 that are suitable for use as solid electrolyte separators in lithium electrochemical devices. Also set forth herein are methods of making A.(LiBH).B.(LiX).C.(LiNH) compositions. Also disclosed herein are electrochemical devices which incorporate A.(LiBH).B.(LiX).C.(LiNH) compositions and other materials.

Disclosed herein are conjugates comprising a biomolecule linked to a label that have biological activity and are useful in a wide variety of biological applications. For example, provided herein are polymerase-nanoparticle conjugates including a polymerase linked to a nanoparticle, wherein the conjugate has polymerase activity. Such conjugates can exhibit reduced aggregation and improved stochiometries wherein the average biomolecule:nanoparticle ratio approaches or equals 1:1. Also disclosed herein are improved methods for preparing such conjugates, and methods and systems for using such conjugates in biological applications such as nucleotide incorporation, primer extension and single molecule sequencing.

Conjugates of biomolecules to nanoparticles

A population of bright and stable nanocrystals is provided. The nanocrystals include a semiconductor core and a thick semiconductor shell and can exhibit high extinction coefficients, high quantum yields, and limited or no detectable blinking.

Nanocrystals with high extinction coefficients and methods of making and using such nanocrystals

Battery systems using coated conversion materials as the active material in battery cathodes are provided herein. Protective coatings may be an oxide, phosphate, or fluoride, and may be lithiated. The coating may selectively isolate the conversion material from the electrolyte. Methods for fabricating batteries and battery systems with coated conversion material are also provided herein.

Protective coatings for conversion material cathodes

Methods for preparing core/shell nanocrystals are provided, using mismatched shell precursors and an electron transfer agent to control the nucleation and growth phases of particle formation. One method includes forming a reaction mixture comprising a plurality of nanocrystals, a first shell precursor, a second shell precursor, a weak electron transfer agent, and optionally a solvent, wherein, the first shell precursor and the second shell precursor have different oxidation states; and heating the reaction mixture to a temperature high enough to induce formation of the shell on each of the plurality of nanocrystals.

Methods for preparation of nanocrystals using a weak electron transfer agent and mismatched shell precursors

Provided herein are methods for making water-soluble nanoparticles comprising a core/shell nanocrystal that is coated with a surface layer comprising enough hydrophilic ligands to render the nanoparticle water soluble or water dispersable. Methods for crosslinking molecules on the surface of a nanoparticle, which methods can be used on the above water-soluble nanoparticles also are provided. Nanoparticle compositions resulting from these methods are also provided.

Water-dispersable nanoparticles

Nanocrystals having an indium-based core and methods for making them and using them to construct core-shell nanocrystals are described. These core-shell nanocrystals are highly stable and provide higher quantum yields than known nanocrystals of similar composition, and they provide special advantages for certain applications because of their small size.
