Sandwich-like Catalyst–Carbon–Catalyst Trilayer Structure as a Compact 2D Host for Highly Stable Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

Herein, we propose the construction of a sandwich-structured host filled with continuous 2D catalysis–conduction interfaces. This MoN-C-MoN trilayer architecture causes the strong conformal adsorption of S/Li₂S_x and its high-efficiency conversion on the two-sided nitride polar surfaces, which are supplied with high-flux electron transfer from the buried carbon interlayer. The 3D self-assembly of these 2D sandwich structures further reinforces the interconnection of conductive and catalytic networks. The maximized exposure of adsorptive/catalytic planes endows the MoN-C@S electrode with excellent cycling stability and high rate performance even under high S loading and low host surface area. The high conductivity of this trilayer texture does not compromise the capacity retention after the S content is increased. Such a job-synergistic mode between catalytic and conductive functions guarantees the homogeneous deposition of S/Li₂S_x, and avoids thick and devitalized accumulation (electrode passivation) even after high-rate and long-term cycling.     

Trovacenchemie. 13 [1] Weg und Irrweg zu Di([5]trovacenyl)keton

Trovacene Chemistry. 13 [1] On Being Lead and Mislead in the Synthesis of Di([5]trovacenyl)ketone Di([5]trovacenyl)ketone ( 3¨ ) has been prepared from lithio‐[5]trovacene and dimethylcarbamoyl chloride and studied by X‐ray diffraction, cyclic voltammetry, magnetic susceptometry and EPR spectroscopy. Slight variation of the synthetic protocol affords an unusual trinuclear complex 5 ? that is also fully characterized. Spin‐spin exchange interaction is smaller in 3¨ than in 1,1‐di([5]trovacenylethene ( 2¨ ), which differs from 3¨ by a replacement of O for CH₂. The novel trinuclear complex 5 ? , however, displays exchange coupling very similar to that observed in 1‐methoxy‐2,5,6‐tri([5]trovacenyl)benzene ( 7 ? ). In both cases, an unsymmetrical triangular arrangement of S = 1/2 centers is encountered. These findings are discussed in terms of the nature of the respective spacers.     

Design and Fabrication of Composite Smart Structures with High Electric and Mechanical Performances for Future Mobile Communication

In this paper, we have developed a load-bearing outer skin for antennas, which is termed a composite smart structure (CSS). The CSS is a multilayer composite sandwich structure in which antenna layers are inserted. A direct-feed stacked patch antenna is considered. A design procedure including the structure design, material selection, and design of antenna elements in order to obtain high electric and mechanical performances is presented. An optimized honeycomb thickness is selected for efficient radiation and impedance characteristics. High gain conditions can be obtained by placing the outer facesheet in the resonance position, which is at about a half wavelength distance from the ground plane. The measured electrical performances show that the CSS has a great bandwidth (over 10%) and a higher gain than an antenna without a facesheet and has excellent mechanical performances, owing to the composite laminates and honeycomb cores. The CSS concept can be extended to give a useful guide for manufacturers of structural body panels and for antenna designers.

Sol-gel entrapment of monoclonal anti-atrazine antibodies

We report the successful doping of a sol-gel matrix with an antibody, retaining its ability to bind free antigen from an aqueous solution. The particular system described is monoclonal anti-atrazine mouse antibody which was entrapped in SiO₂ sol-gel matrices, prepared from tetramethoxysilane by several methods. Atrazine was selected as a model compound for this study, within the framework of the development of immunochemical-based methods for monitoring pesticide residues and other organo-synthetic environmental contaminants. Nanogram quantities of atrazine were applied on SiO₂ sol-gel columns doped with this antibody, and the amount of eluted antigen was determined by Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA). Under appropriate sol-gel-forming conditions, high amounts of atrazine were bound to the sol-gels, ranging between 60% and 91% of the amount applied to the column. The combination of the properties of the sol-gel matrix (e.g., stability, inertness, high porosity, high surface area and optical clarity), together with the selectivity and sensitivity of the antibodies, enable extension of this feasibility study to development of a novel group of immunosensors which could be used for purification, concentration and monitoring of a variety of residues from different sources.Contribution from the Agricultural Research Organization (ARO), Bet Dagan, Israel.

A generalized sandwich theorem

It is proved for an arbitrary commutative ring A with identity and any integer n3 that if H is a subgroup of GL_n(A) normalized by E _n(A,q), then there is an ideal of A such that E _n(A,) H GL _n (A, (:q⁴⁰).Furthermore, is uniquely determined up to a certain equivalence relation on the set of ideals of A. The result extends a theorem of Bak, by removing a stability condition he uses on A.     

A simple direct enzyme immunoassay of antibodies based on the differences in diffusion rates in a gel of a synthetic antigen and of its complex with antibodies

A simple direct enzyme immunoassay for semiquantitative detec tion of antibodies is suggested. It is based on the difference in diffusion rates in a gel for a synthetic low-mol-wt antigen and of its complexes with antibodies to be detected. Sensitivity and specificity of the devel oped assay are equal to an ELISA method. The assay has been tested with antibodies against HIV protein gp41 in rabbit serum. Possible applications and limitations of the method are discussed.
