FeO@uio66 core-shell composite for detection of electrolyte leakage from lithium-ion batteries.

FeOis an environmentally friendly gas sensing material with high response, but the cross-response to various analytes and poor thermal stability limit its practical applications. In this work, we prepared FeO@uio66 core-shell composite via a facile method. The selective response to volatile organic compounds, especially to electrolyte vapors of lithium-ion batteries, as well as long-term stability of FeO@uio66 has been dramatically enhanced compared to pure FeO, due to the preconcentrator feature and thermal stability of the uio66 thin shell.

Radio frequency pasteurization and heating uniformity of canned pineapple.

This research investigated heating uniformity and pasteurization of canned pineapple using radio frequency (RF) energy. Experiments were conducted in a 6 kW, 27.12 MHz pilot-scale RF system.

MOF-Derived Porous Hollow CoO@ZnO Cages for High-Performance MEMS Trimethylamine Sensors.

Trimethylamine (TMA) sensors based on metal oxide semiconductors (MOS) have drawn great attention for real-time seafood quality evaluation. However, poor selectivity and baseline drift limit the practical applications of MOS TMA sensors. Engineering core@shell heterojunction structures with accumulation and depletion layers formed at the interface is regarded as an appealing way for enhanced gas sensing performances.

Enhanced performance of nano-Bi2WO6-graphene as pseudocapacitor electrodes by charge transfer channel.

The nano-Bi2WO6/reduced graphene oxide composite obtained by a simple hydrothermal reaction demonstrates a larger specific capacitance of 922 F/g at a charge and discharge currents of 3 A/g with longer cycle life. The As comparison, pristine Bi2WO6 nanoparticles have poor specific capacitance of 574 F/g at a charge and discharge currents of 2 A/g with weak cycle life. Though analyzing the Cyclic voltammetry curves, it is found that there are two oxidation reaction occurring in the materials: oxidation of Bi (III) to Bi (IV) and Bi (III) to Bi (V).

The β-modification of trizinc borate phosphate, Zn(3)(BO(3))(PO(4)).

Crystals of β-Zn(3)(BO(3))(PO(4)) have been grown by the Kyropoulos method. The asymmetric unit contains three Zn sites, three B-atom sites (all with symmetry 3), two P sites (both with m symmetry) and nine O-atom sites (four with m symmetry). The fundamental building units of the title structure are isolated BO(3) triangles and PO(4) tetra-hedra, which are bridged by ZnO(4) tetra-hedra or ZnO(5) trigonal bipyramids through common O atoms, leading to a three-dimensional framework structure.
