Abstract Nucleation is the first step in granulation where powder and liquid contact. Two types of nucleation wet processes are proposed. Drop controlled nucleation, one drop forms nucleus, occurs when drops hitting surface do not overlap (low spray flux Ψ a ) must quickly into bed (short penetration time t p ). If either criterion met, mixing characteristics will dominate (mechanical dispersion regime). Granulation experiments were performed with lactose powder, water, PEG200, 7% HPC...
Abstract Growth in the Li-ion battery market continues to accelerate, driven primarily by increasing need for economic energy storage electric vehicles. Electrode manufacture slurry casting is first main step cell production but much of manufacturing optimisation based on trial and error, know-how individual expertise. Advancing science that underpins electrode critical adding value chain. Overcoming current barriers requires advances materials, technology, in-line process metrology data...
High energy and power density are key requirements for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. One way to improve the former is reduce binder conductive additive content. Carbon black an important that facilitates electronic conduction in batteries affects domain although it only occupies 5–8% of electrode mass. However, function structure carbon on short- long-range contacts pores still not clear has been systematically researched detail. In this work, five blacks with different BET surface...
Article Critical evaluation of stability constants for nucleotide complexes with protons and metal ions the accompanying enthalpy changes was published on January 1, 1991 in journal Pure Applied Chemistry (volume 63, issue 7).
Electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) employing ionic liquid electrolytes are the subject of much research as they promise increased operating potentials, and hence energy densities, when compared with currently available devices. Herein we report on influence particle size distribution activated carbon material performance based EDLCs. Mesoporous was ball-milled for increasing durations resultant powders characterized physically (using laser diffraction, nitrogen sorption SEM)...
Calendering is an essential process step to manufacture electrodes for lithium-ion batteries. The relationship between the various component material properties and calendering conditions has a large impact on battery performance. In this work, Discrete Element Method (DEM) was used investigate electrode structure evolution under different conditions. initial positions of active (AM) particles were obtained from uncalendered microstructure characterised experimentally by X-ray tomography...

During nucleotide excision repair (NER) in bacteria the UvrC nuclease and short oligonucleotide that contains DNA lesion are removed from post-incision complex by UvrD, a superfamily 1A helicase. Helicases frequently regulated interactions with partner proteins, immunoprecipitation experiments have previously indicated UvrD interacts UvrB, component of complex. We examined this interaction using 2-hybrid analysis surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy, found N-terminal domain unstructured...
Transcription-coupled DNA repair (TCR) is a subpathway of nucleotide excision (NER) that triggered when RNA polymerase stalled by damage. Lesions targeted TCR are repaired more quickly than lesions the transcription-independent "global" NER pathway, but mechanism underlying this rate enhancement not understood. Damage recognition during bacterial depends upon UvrA, which binds to damage and loads UvrB onto DNA. Bacterial additionally requires Mfd protein, translocase removes transcription...
Lithium-ion battery (LIB) performance can be significantly affected by the nature of complex electrode microstructure. The carbon binder domain (CBD) present in almost all LIB electrodes is used to enhance mechanical stability and facilitate electronic conduction, understanding CBD phase microstructure how it affects coupled transport processes crucial optimization. In this work, influence microporosity has been studied detail for first time, enabling insight into relationships between...

The conventional method of manufacturing lithium-ion battery electrodes employs a complex slurry casting process with solvents that are not environmentally friendly and parameters often difficult to control. This study explores solvent-free dry electrode fabrication Co- Ni-free LiMn2O4 (LMO) cathodes using fibrillated polymer, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). A thick, (265–368 μm, 30–64 mg cm–2) LMO cathode was prepared successfully for the first time. Altering conductive additives in...
Fundamental aspects of the biochemistry Type III restriction endonucleases remain unresolved despite being characterized by numerous research groups in past decades.
