The demand to increase energy density of rechargeable batteries for portable electronic devices and electric vehicles reduce the cost grid-scale storage necessitates exploration new chemistries electrode materials batteries. open framework-structure Prussian-blue has recently been demonstrated as a promising cathode host variety monovalent multivalent cations with tunable working voltage discha...

Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) with controlled nano-geometry were synthesized from a single precursor (potassium hexacyanoferrate) in the presence of three different reagents, namely, polyethylenimine (PEI), tetrahydrofuran (THF)/H 2 O , and 2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)-ethyl-trimethoxysilane (EETMS)/cyclohexanone, which enabled nucleation stabilization PBNPs variable plasmonic activities for s...

The quality of microscopic image of cryostat sections that had been subjected to microwave assisted fixation was compared with that resulting from conventional air drying of the sections. The role of microwaves in producing rapid special stains on cryostat sections was also assessed. Methods used permitted stains such as periodic acid Schiff, alcian blue, Gordon and Sweets's reticulin, Masson F...
