Summary Advancing lithium-ion battery technology requires the optimization of cycling protocols. A new data-driven methodology is demonstrated for rapid, accurate prediction cycle life obtained by protocols using a single test lasting only 3 cycles, enabling rapid exploration protocol design spaces with orders magnitude reduction in testing time. We achieve this combining lifetime earl...

Background and Objectives: Previous studies have indicated that lithium may increase the level of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which in turn improves the recovery of patients with stroke. In this controlled trial we evaluated the effect of lithium on BDNF serum level in patients with ischemic stroke. Methods: In this randomized controlled...

  The effects of gentamicin, lithium and combination of these drugs on ultrastructural morphology of rat submandibular glands were studied. Daily intraperitoneal injection of 40 mg/kg of gentamicin which causes chronic salivary gland toxicity, led to a marked decrease in gland's dry weight and total protein concentration but did not affect DNA content. Electron micrograph (EM) of submandibular ...

Current electrolytes for lithium batteries are usually composed of at least two chemical compounds, an organic solvent such as a cyclic carbonate and salt LiPF6. Here, the concept using single-component electrolyte is demonstrated in based on new borate ionic liquids room temperature. The design this class (LiILs) asymmetrically substituted central tetracoordinate boron atom with oligoethylene ...

Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) electrodes with fractal granularity are reported. They were made from a starting material prepared in water by a low cost, easy and environmentally friendly hydrothermal method, thus avoiding the use of organic solvents. Our method leads to pure olivine phase, free of the impurities commonly found after other water-based syntheses. The fractal structures consist...

Lithium is an element which has been used as salts of chloride or carbonate for many years in the treatment of some psychological disorders such as mania, bipolar or schizophrenic diseases. Chronic application of lithium may induce some serious nephropathies such as natriuresis, renal tubular acidosis, tubulointerstitial nephritis progression to progressive chronic kidney disease and hypercalce...

Lithium–aluminum layered double hydroxides (LDHs) selectively sorb lithium from brines, concentrating and purifying this critical element for subsequent conversion to active battery components. Lithium ion partitioning into lattice vacancies within the LDH structure is enhanced with iron doping. However, process leads a highly coupled set of intercalation interactions whose mechanisms are chall...

Large-scale energy storage systems are of critical importance for electric grids, especially with the rapid increasing deployment of intermittent renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. New cost-effective systems that can deliver high energy density and efficiency for such storage often involve the flow of redox molecules and particles. Enhancing the mass and electron transport is crit...

After having analyzed the different causes of macroscopic displacements of photocarriers in LiNbO 3, the corresponding photoinduced changes of refractive index are computed for the short-circuited and open circuited crystal. It is shown in the second case that total or selective erasure can be performed, using a coherent substraction technique. REVUE DE PHYSIQUE APPLIQUÉE TOME 10, NOVEMBRE 1975...
