Investigation on the Effect of Different Mild Acidic Electrolyte on ZIBs Electrode/Electrolyte Interface and the Performance Improvements With the Optimized Cathode.

Zinc ion batteries (ZIBs), as promising alternatives of lithium ion batteries (LIBs), have aroused revived interest in the energy storage field recently. To obtain good performance, the choice of electrolyte plays a vital role. Therefore, in this work, three kinds of aqueous electrolyte have been assessed for interfacial effect and ZIB performance.

Biodegradation characteristics and bioaugmentation potential of a novel quinoline-degrading strain of Bacillus sp. isolated from petroleum-contaminated soil.

Quinoline and its derivatives are widely considered to be environmental pollutants. In this study, the biodegradation characteristics and bioaugmentation potential for a novel strain were described. The strain, named Q2, which could utilize quinoline as the sole carbon, nitrogen and energy source, was isolated and identified as a Bacillus sp.
