Operando and ex situ Raman spectroscopies for evaluating carbon structural changes in anode-free-type sulfide-based all-solid-state Li-ion batteries
Operando Raman spectroscopy revealed reversible Li intercalation into amorphous carbon and dynamic structural changes, while ex situ analysis showed gradual changes despite clear Li deposition, highlighting distinct behaviors under each condition.
When hard work pays off
Svyatoslav Kondrat and Alexei A. Kornyshev reflect on their first Nanoscale Horizons article (Nanoscale Horiz., 2016, https://doi.org/10.1039/C5NH00004A) and discuss how their work may have influenced the research field.

About this collection
As one initiative to celebrate the 10th anniversary of NanoscaleHorizons, we have invited back some of our inaugural authors who published with us during the launch of the journal 10 years ago to write a Reflection article, looking back at their previous publication and discussing how their work may have influenced the field and what they may have done differently had they had the hindsight of today.
We hope that the articles featured in this collection will give an overview of some of the exciting and impactful research first published in the journal and we hope that you enjoy reading these Reflections.
