The kinetic equation used to predict the current being passed in an intercalation electrode depends on the overpotential and the composition of the intercalating species. The overpotential depends on the difference between the potential in the solid phase and in the solution phase, both of which depend on the composition of the intercalation species in the solid and solution phases, respectivel...

Despite being implicated as a mechanism driving gastrulation and body axis elongation in mouse embryos, the cellular mechanisms underlying mammalian convergent extension (CE) are unknown. Here we show, with high-resolution time-lapse imaging of living mouse embryos, that mesodermal CE occurs by mediolateral cell intercalation, driven by mediolaterally polarized cell behavior. The initial events...

-Intercalation complexes of a Hungarian kaolinite were prepared with hydrazine and potassium acetate. The thermal behavior and decomposition of the kaolinite-potassium acetate complex was studied by simultaneous TA-EGA, XRD, and FTIR methods. The intercalation complex is stable up to 300"C, and decomposition takes place in two stages after melting of potassium acetate intercalated in the interl...

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and in-situ intrinsic resistance measurements were applied to sandwiched disk graphite electrodes to investigate the mechanism of formation of irreversible capacity during initial galvanostatic or potentiostatic lithium intercalation into graphite in four different electrolyte formulations. The stability of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film...

Epiboly is the first coordinated cell movement in most vertebrates and marks the onset of gastrulation. During zebrafish epiboly, enveloping layer (EVL) and deep cells spread over the vegetal yolk mass with a concomitant thinning of the deep cell layer. A prevailing model suggests that deep cell radial intercalations directed towards the EVL would drive deep cell epiboly. To test this model, we...

The effects of three different mixers, two different feeding orders and nanoclay content on the structure development and rheological properties of PE/nanoclay nanocomposite samples were investigated. Fractional Zener and Carreau–Yasuda models were applied to discuss the melt linear viscoelastic properties of the samples. Moreover, scaling law for fractal networks was used to quantify clay disp...

exfoliated poly (chloromethyl styrene-co-styrene)-g-polyacrylonitryle/organo- modified montmorillonite [p(cmst-co-st)-g-pan/o-mmt] nanocomposite was synthesized through solution intercalation method by using atom transfer and nitroxide mediated radical polymerization. at first, poly (chloromethyl styrene-costyrene) copolymer was synthesized by nitroxide - mediated “living” free radical polyme...

Detrimental co-intercalation and severe capacity fading were effectively prevented by the addition of fluoroethylene carbonate, resulting “absolute intercalation” enabled stable cycling graphite/LiFePO4 polymer electrolyte battery.
