Article Synopsis
- Proton-conducting solid oxide fuel cells (P-SOFCs) are more promising than oxygen-ion-conducting cells (O-SOFCs) because they operate at lower temperatures, but they face mechanical stresses at high temperatures that affect their electrical conductivities.
- This research uses molecular dynamics modeling to analyze the mechanical and conductive behaviors of Y-doped BaZrO (BZY) electrolytes in P-SOFCs, focusing on their performance at temperatures between 673 K and 873 K.
- It finds that Y doping and other factors decrease the Young's moduli and that proton diffusion rates change with different types of strain, ultimately affecting proton conductivity through various mechanisms like proton trapping and distribution.
Foot and mouth disease induced by foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) is severe threat to cloven-hoofed domestic animals. The gene 3Dpol in FMDV genome encodes the viral RNA polymerase, a vital element for FMDV replication. In this study, a conserved 3D-7414shRNA targeting FMDV-3Dpol gene was designed and injected into pronuclear embryos to produce the transgenic goats.
