Designed formation of hollow particle-based nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers for high-performance supercapacitors by Chen, Li-Feng, Lu, Yan, Yu, Le, Lou, Xiong Wen (David)

“…By embedding ultrafine zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) nanoparticles into electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN), the as-prepared composite nanofibers are carbonized into hierarchical porous nanofibers composed of interconnected nitrogen-doped carbon hollow nanoparticles. Owing to its unique structural feature and the desirable chemical composition, the derived HPCNFs-N material exhibits much enhanced electrochemical properties as an electrode material for supercapacitors with remarkable specific capacitance at various current densities, high energy/power density and long cycling stability over 10 000 cycles.…”

Negative density dependence promotes persistence of a globally rare yet locally abundant plant species Oenothera coloradensis by Stears, AE, Heidel, B, Paniw, M, Salguero-Gómez, R, Laughlin, DC

“…<p>Identifying the mechanisms underlying the persistence of rare species has long been a motivating question for ecologists. Classical theory implies that community dynamics should be driven by common species, and that natural selection should not allow small populations of rare species to persist. …”
