UV-vis spectrophotometry is utilized to measure the relative efficiency of lithium acetate, tetrabutylammonium trifluoroacetate, and triethylamine as catalysts for the conversion of 4-methoxycinnamic acid to 4-methoxy-beta-bromostyrene. In acetonitrile-water as solvent, the efficiency order is lithium acetate > triethylamine > tetrabutylammonium trifluoroacetate. For triethylamine as catalyst, solvent-dependent order is acetonitrile-water > dichloromethane > acetonitrile. Using triethylamine as catalyst (5-20 mol %), cinnamic acids, and propiolic acids are converted to corresponding beta-bromostyrenes and 1-halo-1-alkynes in 60-98% isolated yields within 1-5 min.

A new type of cadmium (Cd) ion cell surface adsorbent was developed by integrating bacteriophage display peptide library technology with cell surface display technology. Cd chelating resin served as the target molecule in screening experiments, leading to the identification of four Cd -binding peptides. These peptides were introduced into via the pYD1 plasmid using lithium acetate heat shock transformation.

Article Synopsis
  • Energy storage systems are vital for technology and everyday life, with lithium-ion batteries being a major area of research.
  • The study focuses on improving the cathode material, specifically the NCM111 composition, through techniques like doping and coating.
  • By using lithium carbonate instead of more commonly used lithium sources like lithium acetate or hydroxide during the sol-gel process, the developed sample showed enhanced stability and performance during high voltage cycling.

Gangliosides are sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipids that play an essential role in many biological and pathophysiological processes. They are present in high amounts in the central nervous system and their abnormal metabolism or expression has been observed in many diseases. We have developed and validated a sensitive capillary electrophoresis laser-induced fluorescence (CE-LIF) method for the separation and quantification of oligosaccharides digested from nine gangliosides of high biological relevance.

A novel double-network conductive hydrogel based on lithium acetate/gelatin/polyacrylamide (PAAM) was synthesized by heating-cooling and subsequent γ-ray radiation-induced polymerization and cross-linking. Owing to the hydrogen bonding interaction between lithium acetate, physical cross-linked gelatin, and chemical cross-linked PAAM, the resultant hydrogel exhibited high tensile strength (1260 kPa), high ionic conductivity (35.2 mS cm), notch-insensitivity (tensile strength 415 kPa, elongation at break 872% with transverse notch), and extensive strain monitoring range (0.
