The choice of ionic-liquid-like monomers (ILM) for single-ion conducting polyelectrolytes (SICPs) is crucial for the performance of all-solid-state lithium batteries. In the current study, we propose a novel approach for development of SICPs via design and synthesis of a new ILM with long poly(ethylene oxide) spacer between methacrylic group and (trifluoromethane)sulfonylimide anion. Its homopolymer shows an ionic conductivity that is ∼5 orders of magnitude higher (9.

The present study is the first report on typical features of the complete chloroplast genome sequence of four local and endangered species including , and from Kazakhstan using Illumina sequencing technology. The comparative analyses revealed that the complete genomes of four species were highly conserved in terms of total genome size (152.

Endemic species biodiversity analysis has a critically important global value for the development of conservation strategies. The rare onion is a narrow-lined endemic species, with natural populations located in the extreme climatic conditions of the Kazakh Altai.

The endangered species is a relict plant of the Ice Age and natural populations are located in extreme climatic conditions of Kazakstan's Altai Mountains. Mobile genetic elements and other interspersed repeats are basic components of a eukaryote genome, which can activate under stress conditions and indirectly promote the survival of an organism against environmental stresses.
