Construction of desired nanoarchitectures with both high power and high rate ability is regarded as a significant step torward industrial applications of rechargeable lithium ion batteries (LIBs) with improved performance. It is well-known that the hard-template route towards nanoarchitectures requires further simplifying the synthetic procedure and lowering the cost of the template itself. Whe...

In this work, a novel soft-hard template method towards the direct fabrication of graphene films on silicon/silica substrate is developed via a tri-constituent self-assembly route. Using cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as a soft template, silica (SiO2) from tetramethoxysilane as a hard template, and pyrene as a carbon source, the self-assembly process allows the formation of a sandwich-...

About ten years ago Ryoo and co-workers [1,2] reported the hard-templating (HT) synthesis of ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) by using ordered mesoporous silicas (OMSs) as hard templates. Five years afterward the soft-templating (ST) synthesis of OMCs has been discovered [3-6]. Significant progress has been made in both hardand soft-templating synthesis of OMCs [7-10]. Major advances in the sy...

We report a simple hard template strategy to prepare multi-shelled titania hollow spheres, which showed enhanced photocatalytic activities in comparison with sphere-in-sphere structures and nanoparticles.

Highly ordered mesoporous NiFe(2)O(4) with excellent microwave absorption properties has been synthesized by using mesoporous silica (KIT-6) as a hard template.

A new kind of high-quality Ag/PS coaxial nanocables can be facilely synthesized by using soft/hard templates method. In order to effectively introduce Ag sources into porous polystyrene (PS) nanotubes which were trapped in porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) hard template, Pluronic F127 (F127) was used as guiding agent, soft template and reductant. Meanwhile, ethylene glycol solution was also us...

Template metaprogramming is an emerging new direction of generative programming: with the clever definitions of templates we can enforce the C++ compiler to execute algorithms at compilation time. Among the application areas of template metaprograms are the expression templates, static interface checking, code optimization with adaption, language embedding and active libraries. However, as this...

Extremely high capacity hard carbon for Na-ion battery, delivering 478 mAh g−1, is successfully synthesized by heating a freeze-dried mixture of magnesium gluconate and glucose MgO-template technique. Influences synthetic conditions nano-structures on electrochemical Na storage properties in the are systematically studied to maximize reversible capacity. Nano-sized MgO particles formed matrix p...

To improve the accuracy of TASSER models especially in the limit where threading provided template alignments are of poor quality, we have developed the TASSER algorithm which uses the templates and contact restraints from TASSER generated models for iterative structure refinement. We apply TASSER to a large benchmark set of 2,773 nonhomologous single domain proteins that are 200 in length and ...

A Graph-Based Method for Template Filling in Information Extraction In event-based Information Extraction systems, a major task is the automated filling from unstructured texts of a template gathering information related to a particular event. Such template filling may be a hard task when the information is scattered throughout the text and mixed with similar pieces of information relative to a...
