Silicon has a large specific capacity which is an order of magnitude beyond that of conventional graphite, making it a promising anode material for lithium ion batteries. However, the large volume changes (∼ 300%) during cycling caused material pulverization and instability of the solid-electrolyte interphase resulting in poor cyclability which prevented its commercial application. Here, we hav...

Despite numerous studies presenting advances in tomographic imaging and analysis of lithium ion batteries, graphite-based anodes have received little attention. Weak X-ray attenuation of graphite and, as a result, poor contrast between graphite and the other carbon-based components in an electrode pore space renders data analysis challenging. Here we demonstrate operando tomography of weakly at...

The present study aims at designing a promising Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) to utilize wastewater in order to generate electricity. Two types of salt bridge have been used in MFC (KCl and NaCl). The maximum electricity generation with 1M KCl and NaCl has been 823 and 713 mV, respectively. Varied salt concentrations (0.5M, 1M, 2M, and 3M) of salt bridge in MFC have been analyzed with different fac...

We carried out the Gaussian fitting to the profile of PSR B1237+25 and found that six components rather than five are necessary to make a good fit. In the central part, we found that the core emission is not filled pencil beam but is a small hollow cone. This implies that the impact angle could be β < 0.5 •. The " hollow core " is in agreement with Inverse Compton Scattering model of radio puls...

Here we report an electrochemical sensor for the determination of picric acid (PA) based on molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) reduced graphene oxide (rGO) coated pencil graphite electrode (PGE). Pyrrole (Py) was electropolymerized surface rGO modified PGE, where PA used as template. After extraction molecules from matrix, MIP|rGO|PGE obtained. Computational studies were carried out to predict...

Cancer is described as the uncontrollably multiplying abnormal proliferation of cells. can affect everyone, and risk which rises with age, lifestyle, environmental toxins. Tamoxi̇fen (TAM) a selective estrogen receptor modulator, has estrogenic or antiestrogenic effects on breast tissue by binding to receptors. The current study presents voltammetric biosensor identify effect Tamoxifen DNA struc...

To improve the performance of microbial fuel cells (MFCs), the biocathode electrode material of double-chamber was optimized. Alongside the basic carbon fiber brush, three carbon materials namely graphite granules, activated carbon granules (ACG) and activated carbon powder, were added to the cathode-chambers to improve power generation. The result shows that the addition of carbon materials in...

electrochemical properties of various rock-shaped-cuo/graphite (g) composites and monoclinic structure cuo nanoparticles as the cathode versus a zinc plate as the anode in a 4m naoh electrolyte were elucidated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis) and chronopotentiometry (cp) in a two electrode configuration cell. various values of g 9, 16 and 28 wt% were prepared and studied as catho...
