Two-dimensional (2D) covalent organic framework as efficient cathode for binder-free lithium-ion battery by Yao, Chang-Jiang, Wu, Zhenzhen, Xie, Jian, Yu, Fei, Guo, Wei, Xu, Zhichuan Jason, Li, Dong-Sheng, Zhang, Shanqing, Zhang, Qichun

“…A binder-free cathode was obtained by mixing 70 wt % PPTODB and 30 wt % carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as a conductive additive. Promoted by the fast kinetics of electrons/ions, high electrochemical activity, and effective π-π interaction between PPTODB and CNTs, LIBs with the as-prepared cathode exhibited excellent electrochemical performance: a high specific capacity of 198 mAh g-1 , a superb rate ability (the capacity at 1000 mA g-1 can reach 76 % of the corresponding value at 100 mA g-1 ), and a stable coulombic efficiency (≈99.6 % at the 150th cycle). …”

Tracking oxidation-induced alterations in fibrin clot formation by NMR-based methods by Lau, Wai-Hoe, White, Nathan J., Yeo, Tsin Wen, Gruen, Russell L., Pervushin, Konstantin

“…DOSY NMR measurement of fibrinogen protons demonstrated that the diffusion coefficient of fibrinogen increased by 17.4%, suggesting the oxidized fibrinogen was more compact and fast motion in the prefibrillar state. 2D-NMR analysis reflected that water protons existed as bulk water (T₂) and intermediate water (T₂ᵢ) in the control plasma fibrin. …”

Selective laser melting of ceramic particles strengthened stainless steel by Zhai, Wengang

“…In contrast, selective laser melting (SLM), or it can be called laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), is potentially a simple method to fabricate dispersed particles strengthened composites, because its small melting zone (~100 μm in width and depth) and fast cooling rate (106 - 108 K/s) help to prevent the particles from segregation. …”

Tantalum based amorphous thin films as copper diffusion barrier by Yan, Hua

“…This dissertation presents a study of Ta-based Cu diffusion barrier for advanced semiconductor technology. With the fast development of semiconductor industry, a novel barrier is required in order to address two challenges in the back-end-of-line technology: enhancing the interconnect reliability of back-end-of-line and reducing resistance-capacitance delay faced during further scaling of semiconductor devices. …”
