Prussian blue (PB) mesocrystals with Na as the alkaline metal were synthesized and used as cathode materials in Na-ion batteries. The mesocrystalline structure endowed PB with very different phase change behavior and electrochemical performance in contrast to PB single-crystals in cyclic voltammograms and galvanostatic discharge/charge voltage profiles of PB/Na half-cells.

A new morphology of Prussian blue microcrystals has been prepared by selective etching. By thermal decomposition, PB has been transformed into mesoporous magnetic iron(III) oxide.

A lamb digestion trial was conducted to compare the ability of internal markers to predict digestibility of alfalfa. Lambs were fed alfalfa hay grown with varying amounts of water stress where water per harvest ranged from 10 to 20 cm/ha and yield ranged 1400 to 4200 kg/ha. In vivo dry matter digestibility was most highly correlated with digestibility determined using acid detergent fiber insol...

The family of dehydrated nanoporous Prussian Blue analogues, M(II)3[Co(III)(CN)6]2 (M(II) = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd), which contain coordinatively unsaturated divalent metal cations, undergoes reversible sorption of hydrogen gas up to 1.2 wt% (at 77 K, 101.3 kPa), the capacity of which depends on the metal ion.

We have revealed the fundamental mechanism of specific Cs(+) adsorption into Prussian blue (PB) in order to develop high-performance PB-based Cs(+) adsorbents in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear accident. We compared two types of PB nanoparticles with formulae of Fe(III)4[Fe(II)(CN)6]3·xH2O (x = 10-15) (PB-1) and (NH4)0.70Fe(III)1.10[Fe(II)(CN)6]·1.7H2O (PB-2) with respect to the Cs(+) adsorpt...

Neutron powder diffraction measurements were carried out on the evacuated and CO2-loaded Prussian blue analogue, Fe3[Co(CN)6]2, identifying two distinct CO2 adsorption sites: site A, in which CO2 uniquely bridges between two bare-metal sites, and site B, in which it interacts in a face capping motif. The saturation of site A at low loadings of CO2 demonstrates the favourable nature of the inter...

22 This study was performed to determine the effects of feeding a fiber-rich fraction of 23 Brassica vegetables on immune response through changes in enteric bacteria and short 24 chain fatty acid (SCFA) production in normal mice. The boiled water-insoluble fraction 25 of Brassica rapa L. (nozawana), which consisted mainly of dietary fiber, was chosen as 26 a test material. A total of 31 male C...

In this paper, in addition to some elementary facts about the ultra-groups, which their structure based on the properties of the transversal of a subgroup of a group, we focus on the relation between a group and an ultra-group. It is verified that every group is an ultra-group, but the converse is not true generally. We present the conditions under which, for every normal subultra-group of an u...
