The electrochemical properties and stability during storage of pristine and AlPO4-coated LiCoO2 thin films were characterized. The wide and smooth surface of the thin film electrode might provide an opportunity for one to observe surface reactions with an electrolyte. The rate capability and cyclic performance of the LiCoO2 thin film were enhanced by AlPO4 surface coating. Based on secondary io...

The need for the development of cheap and effective vaccines against pneumococcal disease has necessitated the evaluation of common virulence-associated proteins of Streptococcus pneumoniae as potential vaccine antigens. In this study, we examined the capacity of active immunization with a genetic toxoid derivative of pneumolysin (PdB) and/or a fragment of choline binding protein A (CbpA; also ...

molecular sieves and zeolites are materials whose crystalline frameworks form nanometer or subnanometer pores. a variety of different crystal structures are known having a range of pore sizes. because the pore sizes are usually smaller than 2 nm, they are classified as microporous materials. synthesis of microporous materials is usually conducted by the high temperature treatment (80-200 °c) of...
