Nanomaterials as anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have gained widespread interest in the research community. However, scaling up and processibility are bottlenecks to further commercialization of these materials. Here, we report that bulk antimony sulfide with a size of 10-20 μm exhibits a high capacity and stable cycling of 800 mAh g(-1). Mechanical and chemical stabilities of the electro...

Introduction: Many radiotracers have been used for sentinel node mapping with acceptable results. The main difference between these radiotracers is the particle size. In the current study, we reported defective labeling of Tc-99m antimony sulfide colloid which resulted in large particle size. Methods: Tc-99m-Antimony sulfide colloid was used for axillary sentinel node mapping of 45 breast cance...

introduction: there is a consensus in the literature that sentinel lymph node biopsy is the standard procedure for axillary staging in early stage (i and ii) breast cancer patients. usually during lymphoscintigraphy, the location of the sentinel lymph node is marked on the skin by an indelible ink. in this study we evaluated this issue in our patients. methods: 40 patients with the clinical dia...

Thin-film solar cells made from earth-abundant, inexpensive, and non-toxic materials are needed to replace the current technologies whose widespread use is limited by their use of scarce, costly, and toxic elements. Tin monosulfide (SnS) is a promising candidate for making absorber layers in scalable, inexpensive, and non-toxic solar cells. SnS has always been observed to be a p-type semiconduc...

Tin-antimony sulfide nanocomposites were prepared via hydrothermal synthesis and a N2 reduction process for use as negative electrode in sodium ion battery. The electrochemical energy storage performance of the battery was analyzed according to tin-antimony composition. optimized sulfides exhibited superior charge/discharge capacity (770 mAh g-1 at current density 100 mA g-1) stable lifespan ch...

Metals cannot be extracted by electrolysis of transition-metal sulfides because as liquids they are semiconductors, which exhibit high levels of electronic conduction and metal dissolution. Herein by introduction of a distinct secondary electrolyte, we reveal a high-throughput electro-desulfurization process that directly converts semiconducting molten stibnite (Sb2S3) into pure (99.9%) liquid ...
