List of Love Live seiyuus who were in the Pretty Series

It's April Fools Day of 2023 and on this day, Coco Hayashi from the recently disbanded Run Girls, Run! took over the role of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club's Setsuna Yuki from the recently outgoing Tomori Kusunoki, really caught the world by surprise because Setsuna's new CV played the role of Mirai Momoyama from Kiratto PriChan while Tomori also starred in the said show as Mirai's little sister Hikari. What a shocker, huh?

Turns out they're not the only ones involved in both the Love Live series and the nearly defunct Pretty Series (yes, I just said that because they've stopped making new animes since the Waccha PriMagi! series finale). There are others as well and with that, it's time for a little project; a quick list of the Love Live seiyuus who were in the Pretty Series. Just the big ones.

Aya Uchida - In the Love Live series, she played Kotori Minami from the original Love Live! series. In the Pretty Series, she played Hina Yayoi from Waccha PriMagi!

Suzuko Mimori - In the Love Live series, she played Umi Sonoda from the original Love Live! series. In the Pretty Series, she played Anju Shiratori from Kiratto PriChan.

Riho Iida - In the Love Live series, she played Rin Hoshizora from the original Love Live! series. In the Pretty Series, she played Amari Katasumi from Idol Land PriPara.

Sora Tokui - In the Love Live series, she played Nico Yazawa from the original Love Live! series. In the Pretty Series, she played Suzu Kurokawa from Kiratto PriChan.

Miyu Kubota - In the Love Live series, she played Karin Asaka from Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. In the Pretty Series, she played Sophy Hojo from PriPara and Emo Moegi from Kiratto PriChan. Oh yeah, Kubota's a member of i☆Ris, the group that did the theme songs for the PriPara anime.

Tomori Kusunoki - As said, she used to play the role of Setsuna Yuki from Nijigasaki High School Idol Club before she retired at the end of March 2023. In the Pretty Series term, she played Hikari Momoyama, the little sister of Mirai Momoyama from Kiratto PriChan.

Coco Hayashi - A member of the now-disbanded Run Girls, Run!, Coco took over the role of Setsuna Yuki from Nijigasaki High School Idol Club from Tomori Kusunoki on April Fools Day 2023. In the Pretty Series term, she played Mirai Momoyama from Kiratto PriChan.

Mayu Sagara - In the Love Live series, she played Kasumi Nakasu from Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. In the Pretty Series, she played Miruki Amauri from Waccha PriMagi!

Maria Sashide - In the Love Live series, she played Emma Verde from Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. In the Pretty Series, she played Eve Kagayaki from Kiratto PriChan.

...and there you have it. A list of Love Live seiyuus who were in the Pretty Series. It's hard to imagine why both of these franchises poach each other's voiceovers for their idol girls. Oh well. With the Pretty Series we know is dead and gone after Waccha PriMagi, looks like the Love Live series is going to end up poaching Pretty Series seiyuus for their next projects. The question now is...who's next?!

Template for Success: Shaping Hard Carbon Electrodes for Next-Generation Batteries - Technology Org

Scientists use inorganic zinc-based compounds to vastly improve the capacity of sodium- and potassium-ion batteries.

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are, by far, the most widely used type of rechargeable batteries, spanning numerous applications. These include consumer electronics, electric vehicles (e.g., Tesla cars), renewable energy systems, and spacecraft.

Although LIBs deliver the best performance in many aspects when compared to other rechargeable batteries, they have their fair share of disadvantages. Lithium is a rather scarce resource, and its price will rise quickly with its availability decreasing.

Moreover, lithium extraction and improperly discarded LIBs pose huge environmental challenges as the liquid electrolytes commonly used are toxic and flammable.

The shortcomings of LIBs have motivated researchers worldwide to look for alternative energy storage technologies. Sodium (Na)-ion batteries (NIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) are two rapidly emerging options that are cost-efficient as well as sustainable. Both NIBs and KIBs are projected to be billion-dollar industries by the end of the decade.

Governments across the world, including that of the US, Austria, Hong Kong, Germany, and Australia, are promoting research and innovation in this field. Moreover, companies such as Faradion Limited, TIAMAT SAS, and HiNa Battery Technology Co. Ltd., are investing heavily in this technology. Both Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited and Build Your Dreams are expected to introduce electric vehicle battery packs with NIBs soon.

Unfortunately, however, the capacity of the electrode materials used in NIBs and KIBs still lags behind that of LIBs. Against this backdrop, a research team led by Professor Shinichi Komaba from Tokyo University Science (TUS), Japan, has been working to develop groundbreaking high-capacity electrode materials for NIBs and KIBs.

In their latest study, published in Advanced Energy Materials on November 9, 2023, they report a new synthesis strategy for nanostructured “hard carbon” (HC) electrodes that deliver unprecedented performance. The study was co-authored by Mr. Daisuke Igarashi, Ms. Yoko Tanaka, and Junior Associate Professor Ryoichi Tatara from TUS, and Dr. Kei Kubota from the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), Japan.

But what is HC and why is it useful for NIBs and KIBs? Unlike other forms of carbon, such as graphene or diamond, HC is amorphous; it lacks a well-defined crystalline structure. Additionally, it is strong and resistant. In an earlier 2021 study, Prof. Komaba and his colleagues had found a way to use magnesium oxide (MgO) as a template during the synthesis of HC electrodes for NIBs, altering their final nanostructure.

The process had led to the formation of nanopores within the electrodes upon MgO removal, which, in turn, had vastly increased their capacity to store Na+ ions.

Motivated by their previous findings, the researchers explored whether compounds made from zinc (Zn) and calcium (Ca) could also be useful as nano-templates for HC electrodes. To this end, they systematically investigated different HC samples made using zinc oxide (ZnO) and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and compared their performance with the ones synthesized using magnesium oxide (MgO).

Preliminary experiments showed that ZnO was particularly promising for the negative electrode of NIBs. Accordingly, the researchers optimized the concentration of ZnO embedded in the HC matrix during synthesis, demonstrating a reversible capacity of 464 mAh g–1 (corresponding to NaC4.8) with a high initial Coulombic efficiency of 91.7% and a low average potential of 0.18 V vs. Na+/Na.

The team achieved remarkable results by incorporating this powerful electrode material into an actual battery. “The NIB fabricated using the optimized ZnO-templated HC as the negative electrode exhibited an energy density of 312 Wh kg–1,” highlights Prof. Komaba. 

“This value is equivalent to the energy density of certain types of currently commercialized LIBs with LiFePO4 and graphite and is more than 1.6 times the energy density of the first NIBs (192 Wh kg–1), which our laboratory reported back in 2011.” Notably, the ZnO-templated HC also exhibited a significant capacity of 381 mAh g–1 when incorporated into a KIB, further showcasing its potential.

Taken together, the results of this study show that using inorganic nanoparticles as a template to control the pore structure may provide an effective guideline for the development of HC electrodes. “Our findings prove that HCs are promising candidates for negative electrodes as an alternative to graphite,” concludes Prof. Komaba.

Shaping hard carbon to obtain exceptional large-capacity electrodes for sodium-ion batteries: It is possible to incorporate nanopores in hard carbon by using zinc oxide as a template during its synthesis. These pores enable the material to store many more charge carriers, making it a promising electrode candidate for sodium-ion batteries that can reach an energy density comparable to that of LiFePO4-type lithium-ion batteries.

In turn, this could make NIBs viable for practical applications, such as the development of sustainable consumer electronics and electric vehicles as well as low carbon footprint energy storage systems for storing energy from solar and wind farms.
