Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) enabled by quasi-solid electrolytes are under consideration for their prospect of reliable safety and high energy density. The limited oxidative stabilization inferior chemical compatibility toward high-voltage cathodes a long-standing challenge. Herein, we report that an additive level (0.05 M) LiPF6 is introduced to polymeric concentrated electrolyte (10 M LiFSI...

Thimerosal, which releases the ethyl mercury radical as the active species, has been used as a preservative in many currently marketed vaccines throughout the world. Because of concerns that its toxicity could be similar to that of methyl mercury, it is no longer incorporated in many vaccines in the United States. There are reasons to believe, however, that the disposition and toxicity of ethyl...

In this work, we report on the catalytic activity of a manganese complex [(Cl)2Mn(RCOOET)], where RCOOET is ethyl-5-methyl-1-(((6-methyl-3-nitropyridin-2-yl)amino)methyl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate, in oxidation phenol or catechol by atmospheric oxygen to form o-quinone. The [(Cl)2Mn(RCOOET)] catalyzes at rate 3.74 µmol L−1 min−1 tetrahydrofuran (THF), similar manner catecholase tyrosinase.

The objective of this study was to synthesize and characterize particles as a drug-delivery platform for gliomas, a highly advanced and invasive stage of brain tumor with poor prognosis. Poly(aminoethyl methacrylate-co-methyl methacrylate) particles were prepared by suspension polymerization and poly(aminoethyl methacrylate-co-poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate) particles were prepared by emuls...

• Gas and vapour transport in Poly(vinyl alcohol)/[EMIM][DCA] blend membranes are studied. CO 2 is highly pressure-dependent at low pressure, suggesting facilitated to play a role. Permeability, solubility diffusivity follow-Arrhenius-type temperature dependence. Humidity the gas feed improves /CH 4 mixed separation performance. Membrane technology rapidly emerging as an alternative traditional...
