Fe-Mn-O composite oxides with various Fe/Mn molar ratios were prepared by a simple coprecipitation method followed by calcining at 600 °C, and carbon-coated oxides were obtained by pyrolyzing pyrrole at 550 °C. The cycling and rate performance of the oxides as anode materials are greatly associated with the Fe/Mn molar ratio. The carbon-coated oxides with a molar ratio of 2:1 exhibit a stable reversible capacity of 651.8 mA h g(-1) at a current density of 100 mA g(-1) after 90 cycles, and the capacities of 567.7, 501.3, 390.7, and 203.8 mA h g(-1) at varied densities of 200, 400, 800, and 1600 mA g(-1), respectively. The electrochemical performance is superior to that of single Fe3O4 or MnO prepared under the same conditions. The enhanced performance could be ascribed to the smaller particle size of Fe-Mn-O than the individuals, the mutual segregation of heterogeneous oxides of Fe3O4 and MnO during delithiation, and heterogeneous elements of Fe and Mn during lithiation.

The purpose of this review is to gain attention about intro the advanced and green technology that has dual action for both clean wastewater and produce energy. Water scarcity and the continuous energy crisis have arisen as major worldwide concerns, requiring the creation of ecologically friendly and sustainable energy alternatives. The rapid exhaustion of fossil resources needs the development of alternative energy sources that reduce carbon emissions while maintaining ecological balance.

The solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) strongly determines the stability and reversibility of aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs). In traditional electrolytes, the nonuniform SEI layer induced by severe parasitic reactions, such as the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), will exacerbate the side reactions on Zn anodes, thus leading to low zinc utilization ratios (ZURs). Herein, we propose to use methoxy ethylamine (MOEA) as a nucleophilic additive, which has a stronger nucleophilic characteristic than water, with the advantage of an abundance of nucleophilic atoms.

Although microbial fuel cells (MFC) could be a promising energy source, their implementation is largely limited by low performance. There are several approaches to overcome this issue. For example, MFC performance can be enhanced using redox mediators (RM) capable of transferring electrons between microorganisms and MFC electrodes.

Background: Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a leading known genetic cause of intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorders (ASD)-associated behaviors. A consistent and debilitating phenotype of FXS is auditory hypersensitivity that may lead to delayed language and high anxiety. Consistent with findings in FXS human studies, the mouse model of FXS, the Fmr1 knock out (KO) mouse, shows auditory hypersensitivity and temporal processing deficits.

This research presents a straightforward and economically efficient design for a microbial fuel cell (MFC) that can be conveniently integrated into a borehole to monitor natural attenuation in groundwater. The design employs conventional, transparent, and reusable PVC bailers with graphite tape and granular activated carbon to create high surface area electrodes. These electrodes are connected across redox environments in nested boreholes through a wire and variable resistor setup.
