Severe, particle-level strains induced during both production and cycling have been putatively linked to lifetime limiting damage in lithium-ion cells. Because of the presently unknown contributions of manufacturing and intercalation induced stresses in Li cells, this correlation is critical in determining optimal materials and manufacturing methods for these cells. Both global and localized lo...

A highly oriented film was fabricated by layer-by-layer self-assembly of DNA and MgAl-layered double hydroxide nanosheets, and its application in chiroptical switch was demonstrated via intercalation and deintercalation of an achiral molecule into the DNA cavity. DNA molecules are prone to forming an ordered and dispersive state in the interlayer region of rigid layered double hydroxide (LDH) n...

The lamellar transition metal Chalocogeno-Phosphates (MzPzS~) form an important family of two-dimensional semiconducting materials. The lamellar structure is formed by stacking S-M2z:~-(P-P),/:3-S units along a unique crystallographic axis. Under appropriate conditions, guest species can enter the space between the layers to form intercalation compounds. Two main mechanisms are presently propos...

Intercalation Capacitance The ion intercalation/deintercalation mechanism is of great significance in energy storage technology. Hence, the intercalation model sub-nanometer confined ions and solvent molecules (H2O) 2D materials was constructed by Liqiang Mai, Yuancheng Cao, co-workers to investigate effect solvent/ions co-intercalation desolvation process on performance (article number 2104649...

In this work the data of methylene blue (MB) and Hoechst 33258 interaction with DNA are presented. It has been shown that at 0.002 M ionic strength of solution MB is bound to double-stranded DNA by three modes: intercalation, semi-intercalation and electrostatic. It was revealed that at higher ionic strengths of solution complete intercalation of MB becomes thermodynamically unacceptable. It wa...

This data article contains the programs for the calculation of the spinodal decomposition growth rate and for the modeling of the spinodal gap and concentration profiles in nanoparticles which were used in our article (Pogorelov et al., 2017) [1]. The modeling is based on the mathematical model of spinodal phase decomposition with intercalation rate conditions on the boundaries (Singh et al., 2...

Intercalation of Pb at graphene/Ru(0001) interfaces has been dynamically observed using in situ low energy electron microscopy and photoemission electron microscopy. A comparative study of Pb intercalation on the submonolayer and complete monolayer graphene surfaces suggest that the Pb intercalation happens through the open edges of graphene islands, starting at around 150 °C. Spatially-resolve...

Cell intercalation is a highly directed cell rearrangement that is essential for animal morphogenesis. As such, intercalation requires orchestration of cell polarity across the plane of the tissue. CDC-42 is a Rho family GTPase with key functions in cell polarity, yet its role during epithelial intercalation has not been established because its roles early in embryogenesis have historically mad...

Intercalation compounds of ternary layered inorganic materials, synthetic mica (Na-TSM), with diclofenac sodium (DFS) and its drug release characteristics were investigated. Hygroscopic DFS was selected as a model drug to verify the anti-humidity and anti-oxidation of the intercalation compounds. Na-TSM powder was first mixed with the reduced-type phosphatidylcholine (H-PC) solution of chlorofo...

YOYO-1 is a green fluorescent dye which is widely used to image single DNA molecules in solution for biophysical studies. However, the question of whether the intercalation of YOYO-1 affects the mechanical properties of DNA is still not clearly answered. Investigators have put forth contradicting data on the changes in persistence length of DNA. Here, we use atomic force microscopy to systemati...
