Dendrite growth and low coulombic efficiency are two major factors that limit the utilization of Li metal electrodes in future generations of high-energy-density rechargeable batteries. This article reports the first study on metal–organic framework (MOF) materials for boosting the electrochemical performance of Li metal electrodes and demonstrates the power of molecular-structure functionaliza...

A new microelectronic package was designed for a high-power light-emitting diode (LED). The objective was to build a package that enables the LED to operate with currents as high as 2 Amps. An innovative thin-film interface has been developed to electrically connect the cathode of the LED die to a 22AWG Cu wire. This thinfilm interface is wirebondable and solderable, and consists of three layer...

A novel NH 2 -MIL-53(Fe)/AgSCN composite photocatalyst was successfully prepared by a one-step chemical precipitation method, the show high photocatalytic activity for antibiotics degradation and H evolution under visible light irradiation.

Silica gel/water adsorption cooling systems suffer from size, performance and cost limitations. Therefore, there is a need for new adsorbent materials that outperform silica gel. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are newmicro-porousmaterials that have extraordinary porosity and uniform structure. Due to the lack of published data that characterise MOF/water adsorption, this paper experimentally i...

Postsynthetic modification of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has proven a hugely powerful tool to tune physical properties and introduce functionality, by exploiting reactive sites on both the MOF linkers their...

A mixed-metal metal-organic framework, (Al,Ga)-MIL-53, synthesised by post-synthetic ion exchange has been investigated using solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. 17O enrichment during...

The isotope effect describes mass-dependent variations of natural isotope abundances for a particular element. In this pilot study, we measured the (65)Cu/(63)Cu ratios in the serums of 20 breast and 8 colorectal cancer patients, which correspond to, respectively, 90 and 49 samples taken at different times with molecular biomarker documentation. Copper isotope compositions were determined by mu...
