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. …”

Rotor angle stability-constrained dispatch and control of large-scale wind penetrated power system by Yuan, Heling

“…In general, four main effects on power system transient stability are: 1) wind generation has no contribution to system inertia and system with synchronous generators replaced by wind turbines will lead to reduction of inertia, 2) power electronics converter-based interfacing is added when wind turbines are implemented, which will change the dynamic behavior of the system, 3) power dispatch of synchronous machines will change fast to compensate wind power variation, 4) the magnitude and direction of power flows will fluctuate quickly and randomly in the transmission lines. …”
