Controlling the sustainability and shape change of the zinc anode in rechargeable aqueous Zn/LiMn2O4 battery
Xiong, Wenlong; Yang, Dongjie; Hoang, Tuan K. A.; Ahmed, Moin; Zhi, Jian; Qiu, Xueqing; Chen, Pu (Elsevier, 2018-11-01)The use of thixotropic gel electrolytes in the rechargeable hybrid aqueous battery improves the battery performance but it is required to have a corrosion inhibitor in the gel electrolyte. These inhibitors are not always ... -
Effect of well-dispersed surface-modified silica nanoparticles on crystallization behavior of poly (lactic acid) under compressed carbon dioxide
Sarikhani, K.; Nasseri, R.; Lotocki, V.; Thompson, Russell B.; Park, Chul B.; Chen, Pu (Elsevier, 2016)In this work, the crystallization behavior of poly (lactic acid) (PLA)/amine-modified silica nano- composites at different loadings of amine-modified silica (1, 2, and 8 wt %) under isothermal, non- isothermal, and isothermal ... -
Improved performance of the rechargeable hybrid aqueous battery at near full state-of-charge
Xiong, Wenlong; Yang, Dongjie; Zhi, Jian; Hoang, Tuan K. A.; Qiu, Xueqing; Chen, Pu (Elsevier, 2018-05-01)For the first time, a green lignin/silica nanocomposite (LSC) is introduced to the rechargeable hybrid aqueous Zn/LiMn2O4 battery (ReHAB) as additive in the cathode formulation. Lignin acts as a key role to regulate and ... -
Peptide and peptide-carbon nanotube hydrogels as scaffolds for tissue & 3D tumor engineering
Sheikholeslam, Mohammadali; Wheeler, Scott D.; Duke, Keely G.; Marsden, Mungo; Pritzker, Mark; Chen, Pu (Elsevier, 2018-03-15)The use of hybrid self-assembling peptide (EFK8)-carbon nanotube (SWNT) hydrogels for tissue engineering and in vitro 3D cancer spheroid formation is reported. These hybrid hydrogels are shown to enhance the attachment, ... -
