The failure mechanism of silicon-based electrodes has been studied only in a half-cell configuration so far. Here, a combination of 7Li, 19F MAS NMR, XPS, TOF-SIMS, and STEM-EELS, provides an in-depth characterization of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation on the surface of silicon and its evolution upon aging and cycling with LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 as the positive electrode in a full...

The objective of this research was in-vitro germination and callus induction of Onosma bulbotrichum (O. bulbotrichum) as a medicinal herb which belongs to Boraginaceae family. For germination, the seedswere cultured on growth regulator-free MS medium and for callus induction, seeds were sown on modified MS medium containing different concentrations of kinetin (kn)- Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) an...

Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC) are a promising technological alternative to conventional pn-junction solar cells, and therefore attract considerable scientific interest. Different attempts have been made to replace the liquid electrolyte by a solid state hole conducting organic or inorganic medium. This contribution compares electrical properties of three different types of DSSCs. First, we ...

Researchers add serum to a classical medium at concentrations of 5 to 10% (v/v) to grow cellsin-vitro culture media. Unfortunately, serum is a poorly defined culture medium componentas its composition can vary considerably while serum-free cell culture media are an excellentalternative to standard serum-containing media and offer several major advantages. Advantagesof us...

In nonaqueous Mg batteries, inactive adsorbed species and the passivation layer formed from reactive with impurities in electrolyte seriously affect metal/electrolyte interface. These adlayers can impede passage of Mg2+ ions, leading to a high plating/stripping overpotential. Herein, we report properties new additive, bismuth triflate (Bi(OTf)3), for synthesizing chlorine-free enhance initial c...
