The human renal Na-PO4cotransporter gene NaPi-3 was expressed in human embryonic kidney HEK-293 cells, and the transport characteristics were measured in cells transfected with a vector containing NaPi-3 or with the vector alone (sham transfected). The initial rate of32PO4influx had saturation kinetics for external Na and PO4 with[Formula: see text] of 128 mM (PO4 = 0.1 mM) and[Formula: see tex...

The title compound, Sr2Mn3(HPO4)2(PO4)2, was synthesized under hydro-thermal conditions. In the structure, one of two Mn atoms is located on an inversion centre, whereas all others atoms are located in general positions. The framework structure is built up from two types of MnO6 octa-hedra (one almost undistorted, one considerably distorted), one PO3OH and one PO4 tetra-hedron. The centrosymmet...

Sodium-ion batteries are considered as prime alternatives to lithium-ion batteries for large-scale renewable energy storage units due to their low cost and the abundance of sodium bearing precursors in the earth's mineral deposits. In the current work, a 3D NASICON framework Na3V2(PO4)3/carbon cathode electrode with 20-30 nm Na3V2(PO4)3 nanoparticles uniformly encapsulated interconnecting one-d...

The title compound, Mn2Zn(PO4)2·H2O, was obtained under hydro-thermal conditions. The structure is isotypic with other transition metal phosphates of the type M 3- xM' x (PO4)2·H2O, but shows no statistical disorder of the three metallic sites. The principal building units are distorted [MnO6] and [MnO5(H2O)] octa-hedra, a distorted [ZnO5] square pyramid and two regular PO4 tetra-hedra. The con...

We have undertaken a vibrational spectroscopic study of paravauxite the Siglo XX mine, Bustillo Province, northern of Potosí department, Bolivia. This mine is important source for rare and unusual secondary phosphate minerals and is the type locality for a number of rare phosphates such as vauxite, sigloite, metavauxite and for jeanbandyite. The chemical formula of the studied sample was determ...

24 We compiled published and newly-obtained data on the directly-measured atmospheric 25 deposition of total phosphorus (TP), filtered total phosphorus (FTP), and inorganic 26 phosphorus (PO4-P) to open land, lakes, and marine coasts. The resulting global data 27 base includes data for c. 250 sites, covering the period 1954 to 2012. Most (82%) of the 28 measurement locations are in Europe and N...

Recently, an interest in NASICON-type materials revived, as they are considered potential cathode sodium–ion batteries used large-scale energy storage. We applied a facile technique of thermal nanocrystallization glassy analogs these compounds to enhance their electrical parameters. Six nanomaterials the Na3M2(PO4)2F3 (M = V, Ti, Fe) system were studied. Samples with nominal compositions Na3V2(...

Single crystals of magnesium copper(II) bis-[orthophosphate(V)] monohydrate, Mg1.65Cu1.35(PO4)2·H2O, were grown under hydro-thermal conditions. The crystal structure is formed by three types of cationic sites and by two unique (PO4)(3-) anions. One site is occupied by Cu(2+), the second site by Mg(2+)and the third site by a mixture of the two cations with an Mg(2+):Cu(2+) occupancy ratio of 0.6...

A low-voltage plateau at ∼0.3 V is discovered for the deep sodiation of Na3V2(PO4)3 by combined computational and experimental studies. This new low-voltage plateau doubles the sodiation capacity of Na3V2(PO4)3, thus turning it into a promising anode for Na-ion batteries.

The combination of specific mechanical, esthetic, and chemical properties is decisive for the application of materials in prosthodontics. Controlled twofold crystallization provides a powerful tool to produce special property combinations for glass-ceramic materials. The present study outlines the potential of precipitating Ca5(PO4)3F as well as Sr5(PO4)3F as minor crystal phases in Li2Si2O5 gl...
