The "dual-layer sulfur cathode" strategy: An InS/BiS@rGO heterostructure as an interlayer/modified separator for boosting the areal capacities of lithium-sulfur batteries.

The specific energies and energy densities of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are influenced by various cell parameters, including the sulfur loading, the sulfur weight percentage in the cathode, and the electrolyte/sulfur ratio. An InS/BiS@rGO heterostructure was obtained by growing indium sulfide nanoparticles on the surface of bismuth sulfide nanoflowers in a graphene oxide (GO) solution via a one-step solvothermal approach. This structure was introduced as a modified separator/dual-layer sulfur cathode for Li-S batteries.

Temperature effect on vibrational properties of crystalline Dibenz[a,h]anthracene.

Vibrational properties associated with the intra- and intermolecular bonding of the crystalline Dibenz[a,h]anthracene at low temperatures are investigated by Raman scattering. A complete characterization of phonon spectra is given for this material. In the 120-150 K temperature region, several lattice modes show abrupt changes of splitting and the discontinuities in the temperature shift, but no emergence of new modes.

High-Resolution Microscopy to Learn the Nuclear Organization of the Living Yeast Cells.

The spatial organization of the nucleus is a key determinant in all genome activities. However, the accurate measurement of the nuclear organization is still technically challenging. Here, the technology NucQuant we created previously was utilized to detect the variation of the nuclear organization, including the heterogeneity of the nuclear geometry, the change of the NPC distribution along different cell cycle stages during interphase, and the organization of the nucleolus.
