Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The modulation of vacancies is an attractive strategy to improve the conductivities of semiconductor materials for high-performance electrodes in lithium-ion batteries. However, it is a dilemma that the defective structure with high content vacancies is instable and also hard to preserve during long-term cycling. Herein, a heteroatom-refilling strategy has been proposed with the example of refilling oxygen in nitrogen-deficient g-C 3 N 4. With the support of theoretic prediction, we produced the g-C 3 N 4 with high nitrogen vacancies (C/N ≈ 2.52) by high-energy hydrogen plasma bombardment, and then filled oxygen by exposure to air. The obtained oxygen refilled g-C 3 N 4 shows not only improved conductivity but also superior electrochemical performance (high capacity of 647 mAh·g −1 after 400 cycles at 0.1 A·g −1 and ultra-stable cycle of 232.8 mAh·g −1 after 5000 cycles at 1 A·g −1 ). It is found that such enhancement is contributed by the reduced band gap, enhanced lithium absorption energy and different charge density due to the vacancy modulation as well as the increased specific surface and active sites caused by the plasma bombardment. Our work proves the vacancy modulation strategy with heteroatom-refilling and the technical approach of the plasma-based method are effective and have abroad applications in energy and other fields.
