Although Zn metal has been regarded as the most promising anode for aqueous batteries, its practical application is still restricted by side reactions and dendrite growth. Herein, an in-situ solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film formed on interface of electrode/electrolyte during plating/stripping zinc anodes introducing trace amounts multidentate ligand sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) a...

Balanced use of micronutrients in soils is essential for optimized nutrient efficiency, environmental conservation and long-term sustainability agro-ecological systems. As a result, maintaining correct micronutrient levels the soil not only to meet plant needs maintain agricultural productivity but also avoid build-up. The present study aimed investigate effect application on yield sucrose cont...

Objective(s): The present study aimed to investigate the antibacterial and anti-biofilm potential of the non-oxidized form of zinc nanoparticles (Zn NPs) prepared by a ‘green approach’ using the Lavandula vera extract with microwave irradiation.Materials and Methods: After synthesis of Zn NPs, the microdilution and disk diffusion methods was applied for antimicrobial evaluation followed b...

Given that an effective combined foliar application of iodine (I), selenium (Se), and zinc (Zn) would be farmer friendly, compared to a separate spray each micronutrient, for the simultaneous biofortification grain crops, we effectiveness foliar-applied potassium iodate (KIO3, 0.05%), sodium selenate (Na2SeO4, 0.0024%), sulfate (ZnSO4∙7H2O, 0.5%), separately in their combination (as cocktail) m...

The desulfurization of gas streams using aqueous iron(II)sulfate (Fe(II)SO4), zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) and copper sulfate (CuSO4) solutions as washing liquor is studied theoretically and experimentally. The desulfurization is accomplished by a precipitation reaction that occurs when sulfide ions and metal ions are brought into contact with each other. A thermodynamic study has been used to determin...

BACKGROUND Liver fibrosis represents a significant and severe health care problem and there are no efficient drugs for therapy so far. Preventing the progression of fibrogenesis and revival endogenous repair activities is an important strategy for both current and future therapies. Many studies of liver fibrosis consist of animal testing with various hepatotoxins. Although this method is often ...
