This study introduces and analyzes a novel system for algal biofuel production that synergistically integrates algal wastewater treatment with hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of wastewater biosolids...
View ArticleCooperation behavior between heterogeneous cations in hybrid batteries
A cooperation behavior of Zn2+ and Li+ to conduct charges in a Zn/LiFePO4 battery is disclosed. When Li+ dissolves into the electrolyte, Zn2+ would deposit, and vice versa. In light of this...
View ArticleStepwise versus pseudo-concerted two-electron-transfer in a...
A triad based on triarylamine donors, an iridium dipyrrin sensitiser and a naphthalene diimide acceptor is investigated using fs-pump–probe spectroscopy at two different pump wavelengths. Excitation...

The World Health Organization (WHO) released the fourth edition of Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality in July, 2011. In this edition, the drinking-water guideline for uranium (U) was increased to...
View ArticleReversible Helical Unwinding Transition of a Self-Assembling Peptide Amphiphile
A designed peptide amphiphile C16-KKFFVLK self-assembles into nanotubes and helical ribbons in aqueous solution at room temperature. A remarkable unwinding transition, leading to twisted tapes, is...
View ArticleCurved fluid membranes behave laterally as an effective viscoelastic medium
The lateral mobility of membrane inclusions is essential in biological processes involving membrane-bound macromolecules, which often take place in highly curved geometries such as membrane tubes or...
