The main objective of this study was to investigate biocompatibility and provide in vivo pharmacological and toxicological evidence for further investigation of the possibility of pH sensitive ion exchange resin microsphere for clinical utilizations. Acute toxicity study and general pharmacological studies were conducted on the pH sensitive ion exchange resin microsphere we prepared. The genera...

Gel electrolytes have attracted increasing attention for solid-state supercapacitors. An ideal gel electrolyte usually requires a combination of advantages of high ion migration rate, reasonable mechanical strength and robust water retention ability at the solid state for ensuring excellent work durability. Here we report a zwitterionic gel electrolyte that successfully brings the synergic adva...

Electrically induced ionic motion offers a new way to realize voltage-controlled magnetism, opening the door generation of logic, sensor, and data storage technologies. Here, we demonstrate an effective approach magneto-ionically electrically tune exchange bias in Gd/Ni$_{1-x}$Co$_{x}$O thin films (x=0.50, 0.67), where neither layers alone is ferromagnetic at room temperature. The Gd capping la...

A series of adsorption tests were conducted to analyze the sorption capacity of attapulgite. Ions such as cobalt, nickel, lead and cadmium were adsorbed from waste solutions onto attapulgite surface. Adsorption depletion tests were performed as a function of solid to liquid ratio, conditioning time, heavy metal ion concentration, and pH to identify the mode and extent of interactions in the sys...

This paper presents an extended version of the local lattice deformation model of solid solutions (J. T. Iiyama, I974b). It has been assumed previously that a foreign atom fixed in a crystal causes local lattice deformation, which prevents another foreign atom from occupying the deformed zone. The resulting entropy of the solid solution from this model can explain the particular behaviour of io...

Lithium ion conductors and concomitantly the topic of Li solid state diffusion have become enormously popular in recent years. The annual number of publications increased from 1991, the year when the Li ion battery was introduced into the market, up to this day by factors of some tens. This is mainly due to the quest for better materials and performances of Li ion batteries, the leading electro...

Innovative rechargeable batteries that can effectively store renewable energy, such as solar and wind power, urgently need to be developed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. All-solid-state batteries with inorganic solid electrolytes and electrodes are promising power sources for a wide range of applications because of their safet...
