Here we proposed a novel architectural design of a ternary MnO2-based electrode - a hierarchical Co3O4@Pt@MnO2 core-shell-shell structure, where the complemental features of the three key components (a well-defined Co3O4 nanowire array on the conductive Ti substrate, an ultrathin layer of small Pt nanoparticles, and a thin layer of MnO2 nanoflakes) are strategically combined into a single entit...

Two α-MnO2 crystals with caddice-clew-like and urchin-like morphologies are prepared by the hydrothermal method, and their structure and electrochemical performance are characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), galvanostatic cell cycling, cyclic voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The morphology of the MnO2 prepared under acidic con...

MnO2 is the most investigated transition metal oxide electrode material for supercapaitor applications because of its intriguing features including natural abundance, low cost, and high theoretical specific capacitance (1370 F g−1). The theoretical specific capacitance has rarely been achieved in bulk MnO2 limited by the poor electrical conductivity and limited surface area. Hence there is a ra...

We report a hierarchical Ni@MnO2 structure consisting of MnO2 nanowires supported on hollow Ni dendrites for high-performance supercapacitors. The Ni@MnO2 structure, which was prepared via a facile electrodeposition method, is highly porous and appears like a forest of pine trees grown vertically on a substrate. At a MnO2 mass loading of 0.35 mg cm(-2), the Ni@MnO2 electrode demonstrated a spec...

Introduction: Family-centered education of patients with diabetes mellitus can play an important role in controlling the disease and reducing its complications. Objective: The present study aims to determine the effect of family-based telephone follow-up about self-care in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Uromia. Materials and Methods: The present clinical trial study investigated 60...

the search for indigenous natural antidiabetic agents is still ongoing. securigera securidaca seeds are reputed in folk medicine for their value as an antidiabetic remedy, so the present study was carried out to investigate the hypoglycemic efficacy in both normal and streptozotocine (stz)-induced diabetic rats. hydroalcoholic extract of the seeds were administered orally with doses of 200, 400...
