Garnet Type Solid Electrolytes In article number 2203897, Venkataraman Thangadurai and co-workers report the use of an AlCl3 Lewis acid fluoroethylene carbonate dual additive based non-aqueous liquid electrolyte stabilizing garnet solid-liquid interphase, towards improved durability high critical current density for hybrid solid-state lithium metal batteries.

In this work, the transesterification of methyl estolides (ME) extracted from lipid component present in sewage scum was investigated. Methyl 10-(R)-hydroxystearate (Me-10-HSA) and Fatty Acid Esters (FAMEs) were obtained a single step. A three-level four factorial Box–Behnken experimental design used to study effects methanol amounts, catalyst, temperature, reaction time on using aluminum chlor...

Elec t rochemica l depos i t ion of a l u m i n u m from NaA1C14 melts sa turated wi th NaC1 onto a glassy carbon e lec t rode at 175~ has been s tudied by vo l tammetry , ch ronoamperomet ry , and cons tant current deposi t ion. The depos i t ion of alumin u m was found to proceed via a nuc lea t ion/growth mechan i sm, and the nuc lea t ion process was found to be progressive. The morpho logy...

Al-sensitive (als) mutants of Arabidopsis were isolated and characterized with the aim of defining mechanisms of Al toxicity and resistance. Most als mutants selected on the basis of root growth sensitivity to Al were recessive, and together the mutants constituted eight complementation groups. Also, in most als mutants, Al sensitivity appeared to be specific for Al relative to La (another triv...

Aluminum (Al) accumulation increases with aging, and long-term exposure to Al is regarded as a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. In this study, we investigated the effects of Al and/or D-galactose on neural stem cells, proliferating cells, differentiating neuroblasts, and mature neurons in the hippocampal dentate gyrus. AlCl3 (40 mg/kg/day) was intraperitoneally administered to C57BL/6J mice...

An effective combination of oxidation medium, ball milling parameters, and copper additive disperstiy ensuring fast aluminum scrap reaction with high hydrogen yield, was suggested. Different parameters (5, 10, 15 mm steel balls; 1 2 h; unidirectional bidirectional rotation modes) were tested for Al-10 wt.% Cu (50–70 μm) composition. The samples milled 5 (2 h) 10 (1 balls contained undesirable i...
