We have synthesized micrometer-sized Ag nanosheets via a facile, one-step, template-free electrochemical deposition in an ultra-dilute silver nitrate aqueous electrolyte. The nanosheet growth was revealed to occur in three stages: (1) formation of polygonal Ag nuclei on a substrate, (2) growth of {112}-faceted nanowire from the nuclei, and (3) anisotropic growth of (111)-planar nanosheets, appr...

A dual-cation concentrated electrolyte has been developed to enable a stable Zn anode and vanadium-oxide-based cathode for efficient aqueous Zn-ion batteries.

Our R & D work was focused on the electro deposition of Zinc from imidazole as low temperature molten salt (LTMS) electrolyte with zinc chloride as a supporting salt at <100o C., without required controls from the previous existing non aqueous baths as well additive free system for the zinc deposition. Surface morphological studies and crystallographic orientation results were evaluated.

The thermal stabilities of RNA:DNA hybrids are substantially greater than those of DNA:DNA duplexes in aqueous electrolyte solutions containing high concentrations of formamide. Association rates to form DNA:DNA duplexes and DNA:RNA hybrids have been measured in these solvents. There is a temperature range in which DNA:DNA rates are negligible and RNA:DNA rates close to optimal.

A low temperature, aqueous electrolyte fuel cell employing new, Conducting-Porous-Teflon Electrodes is described. The new electrodes show excellent performance characteristics with a variety of fuels {including hydrocarbons) and with both oxygen and air as the oxidant. Preparation methods are discussed, and performance data obtained with ambient temperature, hydrogen-oxygen and hydrogen-air cel...

The reversible phase transformation is reported from hexagonal to monoclinic structure responding to the intercalation/deintercalation of Na(+) between MnO(2) nanosheets upon potential cycling in aqueous electrolyte via an in situ Raman technique. This structural evolution will influence the Na(+) diffusion process in MnO(2) nanosheets and cause phase retention during the self-discharge process.
