2D/2D Heterostructures: Rational Design for Advanced Batteries and Electrocatalysis

Rational Design of Combinations for the Treatment of Advanced Cancer

Despite our enormous effort and progress in medicine, cancer remains a top health issue worldwide. According to recent statistics, more than eight million people annually succumb to the disease in the world [1]. It is clear that we must work much harder in order to eliminate this disease in the next several decades. We have a hope, however, that can encourage us to do so and move forward: cance...

Rational design of SnO2@C nanocomposites for lithium ion batteries by utilizing adsorption properties of MOFs.

A facile synthetic strategy is developed to prepare mono-dispersed SnO2 particles within three-dimensional porous carbon frameworks by utilizing the adsorption properties of metal-organic frameworks. This composite exhibits a high reversible capacity of 900 mA h g(-1) at 100 mA g(-1) after 50 cycles, with a stable capacity retention of 880 mA h g(-1) at 100 mA g(-1) even after 200 cycles.

Evaluating batteries for advanced wildlife telemetry tags

We evaluate miniature batteries as potential power sources for advanced wildlife telemetry tags. These tags are often based on integrated UHF transceivers that are designed for wireless sensor networks and that consume 18-85mA while receiving or transmitting. This current drain is challenging for many types of miniature batteries. We evaluate batteries both on actual tags and in a specialized s...
