To deliver electrochemical energy over a wide range of temperatures, this work studies new gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) for photothermal supercapacitors operating from −60 to 65 °C. The GPE consists polyacrylonitrile mixed with an active filler sodium polystyrenesulfonate that simultaneously improves ionic conductivity and traps metal cation impurities. self-discharge rate impurity diffusion c...

A bidirectional hybrid switched inductor converter (BHSI) is proposed in this paper. The uses an switching cell order to achieve a wide voltage conversion range, smaller passive components, and lower stress on the active devices. Apart from these advantages, introduction of additional does not increase complexity control structure, as usually case with other topologies multiple components. BHSI...

Isolation of high-quality RNA is one of the most crucial methods in molecular biology. RNA extraction from woody plants has been problematic due to the presence of rigid and woody tissues, large amounts of polysaccharides, polyphenols and other secondary metabolites. Here we present a suitable protocol for RNA isolation from a wide range of woody plants that includes eight gymnosperms and four ...
