Iron-doped tin oxide (Sn0.9Fe0.1O2), and specifically carbon-coated Sn0.9Fe0.1O2 (Sn0.9Fe0.1O2-C) provides high reversible capacity a reasonably low de-/lithiation potential owing to the combined conversion alloying mechanism. The initial (quasi-)amorphization during first lithiation, however, renders an in-depth understanding of reaction mechanism challenging. Herein, comprehensive investigati...

The purposes of this paper are (a) to examine the effect of calorimeter time constant (τ) on heat rate data from a single enzyme injection into substrate in an isothermal titration calorimeter (ITC), (b) to provide information that can be used to predict the optimum experimental conditions for determining the rate constant (k2), Michaelis constant (KM), and enthalpy change of the reaction (ΔRH)...

Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) has been applied to the study of proteins for many years. Its use in the biophysical analysis of RNAs has lagged significantly behind its use in protein biochemistry, however, in part because of the relatively large samples required. As the instrumentation has become more sensitive, the ability to obtain high quality data on RNA folding and RNA ligand inte...
