Electrode/Electrolyte Interfacial Chemistry Modulated by Chelating Effect for High?Performance Zinc Anode

Chelating ionic liquids for reversible zinc electrochemistry.

Advanced, high energy-density, metal-air rechargeable batteries, such as zinc-air, are of intense international interest due to their important role in energy storage applications such as electric and hybrid vehicles, and to their ability to deal with the intermittency of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. Ionic liquids offer a number of ideal thermal and physical properties as po...

Carbon NanotubeEnhanced Growth of Silicon Nanowires as an Anode for HighPerformance LithiumIon Batteries

Advanced lithium-ion batteries with high energy density, highrate capability, and excellent cycling performance are critically important for automotive and stationary energy storage applications such as electric vehicles, portable electronics, power tools, and energy storage for many types of renewable energy sources.[1–3] From the materials point of view, silicon is one of the most promising c...

Interfacial Chemistry in Solvent

Inhibition of invasion and angiogenesis by zinc-chelating agent disulfiram.

Cell invasion and angiogenesis are crucial processes in cancer metastasis that require extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation. Proteolytic degradation of the ECM components is a central event of invasion and angiogenesis processes. During these processes, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) seem to be primarily responsible for much of the ECM degradation. Disulfiram is frequently used in the treat...

Chromatographic Zinc Isotope Separation by Chelating Exchange Resin

Zinc isotope separations were studied by displacement chromatography using the chelating properties of malate, citrate and lactate exchange resin and EDTA as ligands. After each chromatographic operation, the heavier zinc isotopes were found to preferentially fractionated into the carboxylate complex solution phase. The separation coefficients (epsilon) for zinc isotope separation had the large...
