Revealing the in-depth structure-property relationship and designing specific capacity electrodes are particularly important for supercapacitors. Despite many efforts made to tune the composition and electronic structure of cobalt oxide for pseudocapacitance, insight into the [CoO] octahedron from the microstructure is still insufficient. Herein, we present a tunable [CoO] octahedron microstructure in LiCoO by a chemical delithiation process.

Conducting polymers with high theoretical capacitance and deformability are among the optimal candidates for compressible supercapacitor electrode materials. However, achieving both mechanical and electrochemical stabilities in a single electrode remains a great challenge. To address this issue, the "Polymer Chainmail" is proposed with reversible deformation capability and enhances stability because of the steric hindrance and charge compensation effect of doped anions.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study examined how nitrogen and phosphorus levels affect biodiesel production from the algae Scenedesmus obliquus, using glucose for carbon, finding that phosphorus boosts biodiesel output even when nitrogen is low.
  • - S. obliquus was grown in soybean wastewater, achieving impressive removal rates for carbon oxygen demand (72%), total nitrogen (95%), and total phosphorus (54%) after 8 days.
  • - The research showed a notable increase in fatty acid productivity (99.3 mg·L·d), outperforming previous glucose-based methods, indicating that managing nitrogen and phosphorus stages can enhance biodiesel production while treating wastewater sustainably.

Silver was reclaimed from silver-plating wastewater by using a pulsed electric field (PEF) combined with static cylinder electrodes (SCE). The conditions that produced the maximal silver recovery rate (RR(Ag)) (99%) were as follows: average retention time of 10 min, interelectrode gap of 50mm, solution pH of 9.0, temperature of 45 degrees C, initial Ag(I) concentration of 1000 mg L(-1), PEF pulse frequency of 1200 Hz, current density of 5.

Objective: To explore the effects of lead on the thyroid function of occupationally exposed workers.

Method: 157 workers occupationally exposed to lead in a smelting factory were investigated. The concentration of lead in air at workshop was measured by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry (FAAS) and the levels of blood lead (PbB) by atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS), zinc protoporphyrin (ZPP) by ZnPP meter, as well as the indexes of thyroid function, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (T(3)), thyroxin (T(4)), free T(3) (FT(3)), and free T(4) (FT(4)) in serum by radioimmunoassay.
