Summary: In this study, the variations in the capacitance of a positive electrode based on CNTOH were evaluated using cyclic voltammetry. It was found that the discharge characteristics of LOB were significantly influenced by oxygen concentration polarization. Additionally, the decrease in maximum discharge capacity was correlated with the reduction in C-DL, while the increase in C-PC was attributed to the accumulation of side products formed during discharging and charging.

Summary: A series of Co-free Li-rich layered oxides, Li1.24Mn0.62-xNi0.14FexO2 (x=0, 0.01, 0.02 and 0.03), were synthesized by a self-combustion reaction. Fe doping was found to affect the lattice structure and bonding, as indicated by changes in the unit cell size calculated from diffraction patterns and shifts in vibrational frequencies observed in Raman spectra. The doped samples showed improved capacity retention and minor decreases in specific capacity in lithium cells, with Li1.24Mn0.60Ni0.14Fe0.02O2 demonstrating a specific capacity of 235 mAhg(-1) with 94% capacity retention after 150 cycles. These positive effects were attributed to alterations in point defectivity, changes in transport properties identified by cyclic voltammetry, and improved structural resilience compared to the undoped material in postmortem analyses.

Summary: The design and optimization of microalgae processes have historically not taken into account the impact of cell-to-cell heterogeneity. However, recent experimental evidence suggests that this heterogeneity can be crucial in cultivation and downstream processes. Population balance equations (PBEs) provide a powerful approach for modeling cell-to-cell heterogeneity. This review discusses the potential of PBEs for analyzing and designing microalgae processes, with a focus on the univariate size/mass structured PBE.

Summary: Graphene and its derivative, reduced graphene oxide (RGO), are attracting great interest due to their unique properties. However, the tendency of RGO to aggregate in water restricts its application. In this study, water-dispersible RGO was prepared through a novel method using graphene oxide (GO) enriched with additional carboxyl groups and followed by chemical reduction. The reactivity of GO with succinic anhydride was experimentally investigated and confirmed through various techniques. This method offers a sustainable and scalable approach for the preparation of water-dispersible RGO, which could have broad applications.
