Engineering MoS2 nanosheets on spindle-like α-Fe2O3 as high-performance core–shell pseudocapacitive anodes for fiber-shaped aqueous lithium-ion capacitors by Man, Ping, Zhang, Qichong, Zhou, Z., Chen, Mengxiao, Yang, Jiao, Wang, Zhe, Wang, Zhixun, He, B., Li, Q., Gong, W., Lu, W., Yao, Y., Wei, Lei

“…Further density functional theory calculations reveal that the MoS2@α-Fe2O3 nano-heterostructure possesses better electrical conductivity and stronger adsorption energy of Li+ than those of the individual MoS2 and α-Fe2O3. By paring with the self-standing LiCoO2/CNTF battery-type cathode, a prototype quasi-solid-state FALIC with a maximum operating voltage of 2.0 V is constructed, achieving impressive specific capacitance (253.1 mF cm−2) and admirable energy density (39.6 mWh cm−3). …”

Effects of various surface treatments on the storage life of guava (Psidium guajava L) at 10°C by Mohamed, Suhaila, Kyi, Khin Ma Ma, Yusof, Salmah

“…The use or various surface treatments to prolong storage life of guavas at 10°C was examined. LDPE shrinkwrap was most effective in reducing weight loss and maintaining the firmness of guava (most likely indicating its effectiveness in alleviating water stress), followed by clingwrap packaging and 200 g litre−1 palm oil emulsion coating. …”
