This paper presents the preparation of in situ electrodeposited rGO/MnO2 nanocomposite as a binder-free electrode for supercapacitor application. The work describes and evaluates the performance of prepared electrode via green and facile electrodeposition technique of in situ rGO/MnO2-glucose carbon nanocomposites. The carbon content in the composite electrode increased after GO and D (+) gluco...

In this paper, we report a facile method to successfully fabricate MnO2 nanoflowers loaded onto 3D RGO@nickel foam, showing enhanced biosensing activity due to the improved structural integration of different electrode materials components. When the as-prepared 3D hybrid electrodes were investigated as a binder-free biosensor, two well-defined and separate differential pulse voltammetric peaks ...

We consider the Gamma limit of the Abelian Chern-Simons-Higgs energy

The present research work describes an efficient method for facile synthesis of α-MnO2 nanorods by hydrothermal method and preparation of a series of polythiophene/manganese dioxide (PTh/MnO2) nanocomposites with various α-MnO2 ratios. These nanocomposites were fabricated by in-situ oxidative polymerization method using FeCl3 as oxidant, and characterized by Fourier transformed infrared (FT-IR)...

Porous solids have an important role in addressing some of the major energy-related problems facing society. Here we describe a porous solid, α-MnO2, with a hierarchical tetramodal pore size distribution spanning the micro-, meso- and macro pore range, centred at 0.48, 4.0, 18 and 70  nm. The hierarchical tetramodal structure is generated by the presence of potassium ions in the precursor solut...

Traditional low infrared emissivity coatings based on aluminum flakes cannot own low IR emissivity and low lightness simultaneously. Herein, a new simple efficient method for the synthesis of brown Al/MnO2 composite pigments with low IR emissivity and low lightness is reported, through forming MnO2 layer on aluminum flakes by thermal cracking, then altering the shape and forming nanoshell by st...

BACKGROUND Preterm small for gestational age (SGA) infants may be at risk for increased adiposity, especially when experiencing rapid postnatal weight gain. Data on the dynamic features of body weight and fat mass (FM) gain that occurs early in life is scarce. We investigated the postnatal weight and FM gain during the first five months after term in a cohort of preterm infants. METHODOLOGY/P...

Aqueous rechargeable Zn//MnO2 batteries have attracted extensive research interest owing to their low cost and high energy density. However, the slow reaction kinetics, disproportionation of MnO2 cathode, irreversible phase transition mechanism considerably restrict development. Here, we chose Mo-doped α-MnO2 (Mo–MnO2) as cathode material proposed a stable N–H⋯O bond-reinforced interaction form...

In silico analyses of previously sequenced strains of Escherichia coli O157:H7, EDL933 and Sakai, localized the gene cluster for the utilization of N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (Aga) and D-galactosamine (Gam). This gene cluster encodes the Aga phosphoenolpyruvate:carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (PTS) and other catabolic enzymes responsible for transport and catabolism of Aga. As the complete...
