In this work we present the development and optimization of a graphene-embedded Sn-based material an activated carbon/lithium iron phosphate composite for high-performing hybrid lithium-ion capacitor (LIC).

OBJECTIVE In chronic kidney disease (CKD), both anemia and deregulated phosphate metabolism are common and predictive of adverse outcome. Previous studies suggest that iron status influences phosphate metabolism by modulating proteolytic cleavage of FGF23 into C-terminal fragments. Red cell distribution width (RDW) was recently identified as a strong prognostic determinant for cardiovascular mo...

Hyperphosphatemia and anemia are common complications in patients with advanced CKD, and both contribute to their increasedmorbidity andmortality fromcardiovasculardisease. Fortunately, both conditions can be effectively treated with currently available therapeutic agents: phosphate binders, erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs), and iron supplementation. Regrettably, we now recognize that u...

A method of measuring amorphous ferric phosphate in the presence of crystalline ferric phosphate is described. This procedure is important because there appears to be a big difference in availability between the amorphous and crystalline forms of ferric phosphate. This difference has been proven for two situations. In the first situation, when amorphous ferric phosphate is used as the source of...

A new iron phosphate, rubidium copper(II) iron(III) bis-(phosphate), RbCuFe(PO4)2, has been synthesized as single crystals by the flux method. This compound is isostructural with KCuFe(PO4)2 [Badri et al. (2011 ▶), J. Solid State Chem. 184, 937-944]. Its structure is built up from Cu2O8 units of edge-sharing CuO5 polyhedra, inter-connected by FeO6 octa-hedra through common corners to form undul...

During host injury, Pseudomonas aeruginosa can be cued to express a lethal phenotype within the intestinal tract reservoir-a hostile, nutrient scarce environment depleted of inorganic phosphate. Here we determined if phosphate depletion activates a lethal phenotype in P. aeruginosa during intestinal colonization. To test this, we allowed Caenorhabditis elegans to feed on lawns of P. aeruginosa ...

Electrocatalysis using low-cost materials is a promising, economical strategy for remediation of water contaminated with organic chemicals and microorganisms. Here, we report the use iron phosphide (Fe2P) precatalyst electrocatalytic oxidation; degradation representative aromatic hydrocarbon, dye rhodamine B (RhB); inactivation Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. It was found that during anodi...

We report a set of three 1.8-1.9 A resolution X-ray crystal structures of Neisseria gonorrhoeae Fbp (ferric-ion binding protein): (i) open-cleft apo-Fbp containing bound phosphate, (ii) open-cleft mono-Fe Fbp capped by nitrilotriacetate, and (iii) open-cleft trinuclear oxo-iron Fbp, the first structure of an iron-cluster adduct of a transferrin. The nine independent molecules in the unit cells ...

A novel recycling process of the conductive agent in spent lithium iron phosphate batteries is demonstrated. Wet chemistry applied recovering and phosphate, filter residue calcined with a small amount recovered N2 at 900 °C to form FeNP-codoped carbon catalyst, which exhibits low half-wave potential excellent durability for oxygen reduction. When rechargeable Zn–air battery, power density can...

High concentrations of arsenic have been detected in soils and underlying groundwater of some South Florida golf courses, indicating the possible impact of the application of arsenic-containing herbicides. The mobility of arsenic in the soils from selected golf courses was studied using a simple two-step sequential extraction procedure. Sodium nitrate (0.1 M), potassium dihydrogen phosphate (0....
