In asymmetric supercapacitors, transition metal selenates are promising electrodes, but their capacity are limited by a single redox center. To further enhance the performance of transition metal selenates, NiCoSeO (NCSeO) doped with N and Cl was prepared on nickel-plated carbon cloth (NCSeO-NCl-NiCC). During electrochemical reactions, NCSeO can be converted to M(OH) (M = Ni/Co) and OH is replaced by N and Cl.

In this paper, a well-hydrated iron selenate (FeSeO) sheath is constructed around FeOOH nanorods by a facile electrochemical activation, demonstrating the unique multifunction in fasting charge diffusion, promoting the dissociation of HO, and inhibiting the irreversible phase transition of FeOOH to inert γ-FeO, which endow the hydrated sheath coated Fe-based anodes with an impressive rate capability and superior durability. Thanks to the comprehensive performance of this Fe-based anode, the assembled AHESD delivered a high energy density of 117 Wh kg with the extraordinary durability of almost 100% capacity retention after 40 000 cycles.

Aim Of The Study: The objective was to evaluate cytotoxicity and the acute, subacute toxicity, and in vitro antioxidant activity of S.
In order to obtain homogeneous polysaccharides with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, a response surface method (RSM) was used to compare the polysaccharide extraction rate of hot water extraction and ultrasonic-assisted extraction from . The optimal conditions for ultrasonic-assisted extraction were determined as follows: an extraction temperature of 60 °C, an extraction time of 60 min, a solid-liquid ratio of 40 g/mL, and an ultrasonic power of 70 W. An SVP ( polysaccharides) extraction rate of 1.

Firstly, a series of oxygen and terminal methyl moiety co-modified g-CN (CNNx) has been systematically prepared by using N-Hydroxysuccinimide (HOSu) as a novel copolymerized precursor and urea. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrated that the presence of oxygen can lower the binding energy for the C-C bond to make the terminal modification easier.

However, as an insurmountable bottleneck, the severe capacity fading and poor cyclability derived from the inactive transition hinder their commercial application in asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs). In this work, driven by the "oxygen pumping" mechanism, oxygen-vacancy-rich Fe@Fe O @Fe C@C nanoparticles that consist of a unique "fruit with stone"-like structure are developed, and they exhibit enhanced specific capacity and fast charge/discharge capability.

However, the absence of advanced electrode materials with high structural stability has become the most critical factor hindering the development, which is closely related to the poor interface combination between the active substances and flexible collectors. Herein, a unique rigid layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanorod array with the mesocrystalline feature is created using the NiO-Ni layer as the inducer by the electrodeposition strategy.

The development of urbanization has changed the original land cover and exacerbated the urban heat island effect, seriously affecting the sustainable development of the ecological environment. Research on urban heat island characteristics and land cover changes in five major urban agglomerations in China to provide a reference for preventing thermal environmental risks and urban agglomeration construction planning. This paper estimates the surface urban heat island intensity (SUHII) of the five major urban agglomerations in China from 2003 to 2019 based on Google Earth Engine (GEE) through the urban-rural dichotomy, analyzes their trends through the Sen + M-K trend analysis method, and combines the detrending rate matrix to analyze the impact of land cover type shift on urban heat island change.
