3D yolk-shell NiGa2S4 microspheres confined with nanosheets for high performance supercapacitors
Liu, S.,Kim, K.,Yun, J.,Kundu, A.,Sankar, K. V.,Patil, U.,Ray, C.,ChanJun, S. Royal Society of Chemistry 2017 Journal of Materials Chemistry A Vol.5 No.13
<P>Recent advances in the development of two-dimensional transition-metal chalcogenides (2D TMCs) have opened up new avenues for supercapacitor applications. However, they still suffer from limited specific capacitance and poor rate capability due to their poor interfacial properties and simple geometry. Here, we propose a facile strategy for the synthesis of yolk-shell NiGa2S4 microspheres comprising crumpled nanosheets supported on nickel foam. The robust structure not only highly facilitates the electron and charge transportation but also efficiently alleviates the volume expansion during redox reactions, contributing to excellent electrochemical behaviors in terms of specific capacitance and rate capability. Significantly, an asymmetric supercapacitor based on the prepared NiGa2S4 as the positive electrode and N, S-codoped graphene/Fe2O3 (N, S-G/Fe2O3) as the negative electrode delivers a high energy density of 43.6 W h kg(-1) at a power density of 961 W kg(-1) and retains an energy density of 22.2 W h kg(-1) even at 15 974 W kg(-1). These impressive results may provide a new perspective to develop high energy and power density storage systems for practical applications.</P>

<P>NiO has been intensively studied as a promising electrode material for supercapacitors because of its high theoretical specific capacitance, well-defined redox behavior, and good chemical compatibility with nickel foam. However, it still suffers from inferior rate capability and cycling stability because of the simple component and random structural integration. Herein, we report a tunable sulfuration process of NiO nanosheets constructed on porous nickel foam for supercapacitor applications. The resulting NiO/Ni3S2 with distinct structural features exhibits an ultra-high specific capacitance of 2153 F g(-1) at a current density of 1 A g (1), and the capacitance is retained at 1169 F g (1) even at a current density as high as 30 A g (1). An asymmetric supercapacitor device fabricated with NiO/Ni3S2 as the positive electrode and activated carbon as the negative electrode delivers high energy and power densities (52.9 W h kg(-1) at 1.6 kW kg(-1); 26.3 W h kg(-1) at 6.4 kW kg(-1)), and good cycling stability (a capacitance retention of 92.9% over 5000 cycles).</P>

Human lung adenocarcinoma, the most prevalent form of lung cancer, is characterized by many molecular abnormalities. K-ras mutations are associated with the initiation of lung adenocarcinomas, but K-ras-independent mechanisms may also initiate lung tumors. Here, we find that the runt-related transcription factor Runx3 is essential for normal murine lung development and is a tumor suppressor that prevents lung adenocarcinoma. Runx3−/− mice, which die soon after birth, exhibit alveolar hyperplasia. Importantly, Runx3−/− bronchioli exhibit impaired differentiation, as evidenced by the accumulation of epithelial cells containing specific markers for both alveolar (that is SP-B) and bronchiolar (that is CC10) lineages. Runx3−/− epithelial cells also express Bmi1, which supports self-renewal of stem cells. Lung adenomas spontaneously develop in aging Runx3+/− mice (∼18 months after birth) and invariably exhibit reduced levels of Runx3. As K-ras mutations are very rare in these adenomas, Runx3+/− mice provide an animal model for lung tumorigenesis that recapitulates the preneoplastic stage of human lung adenocarcinoma development, which is independent of K-Ras mutation. We conclude that Runx3 is essential for lung epithelial cell differentiation, and that downregulation of Runx3 is causally linked to the preneoplastic stage of lung adenocarcinoma.

The study was carried out to evaluate leucaena seeds as a protein replacement of mustard seed cake (MSC) in the concentrate mixture of growing lambs. Fifteen owing male lambs (Local${\times}$Corridale) with an average body weight of 16.3 kg were allocated into three dietary treatments (T1, T2, and T3) with five animals in each group. Animals were offered dry mixed grass, berseem hay and concentrate mixture to meet their nutrient requirements. In concentrate mixture of T1, (Control) MSC was used as protein source, while in T2 and T3 groups, 25 and 50% of MSC was replaced by leucaena leucocephala seeds. On completion of three months (90 days) of feeding, a digestion cum-metabolism trial was conducted to determine DMI, nutrient utilization, and nitrogen balance. Changes in body weight were recorded at 15 day internals and eating patterns were recorded for 3 consecutive days at the end of the feeding trial. MSC had higher CP contents than leucaena seeds (27.0%). Mimosine contents in leucaena seeds were 1.1 compared to 0.2 and 0.4% in concentrate mixture of T2 and T3 group, respectively. Dry matter intake varied non-significantly ($79.3{\pm}1.2$ to $83.4{\pm}1.3g/kg$ $w^{0.75}$) across the dietary treatments. Digestibility of DM and cell wall polysaccharides (NDF, ADF. Cellulose and hemicellulose) were comparable, however CP digestibility was relatively lower in leucaena luecocephala seeds based groups (T2 $45.5{\pm}1.7$ and T3 $46.7{\pm}3.5$) compared to MSC supplemented group (T1 $47.7{\pm}0.9%$). The growth rate of lambs was non-significantly higher in T1 ($79.2{\pm}5.4$) compared to T2 ($73.8{\pm}8.8$) and T3 ($73.9{\pm}7.0$), respectively. The animals were in positive nitrogen balance and N-balance varied from 1.8 to 2.9 g/d across treatment groups. The eating rate (% of total offered) of concentrate up-to 15 min was relatively higher in T1 (82.4) than T2 (74.2) and T3 (77.8%). However no effect of leucaena seeds was recorded on total DMI of animals. The results of the study revealed that the inclusion of up to 50% leucaena seeds, as protein source in concentrate mixture of lambs had no adverse effect on DMI, nutrient utilization, eating patterns, nitrogen balance and growth performance of lambs.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>One-dimensional (1D) nanostructure exhibits excellent electrochemical performance because of their unique physico-chemical properties like fast electron transfer, good rate capability, and cyclic stability. In the present study, Co<SUB>3</SUB>(PO<SUB>4</SUB>)<SUB>2</SUB> 1D nanograsses are grown on Ni foam using a simple and eco-friendly hydrothermal technique with different reaction times. The open space with uniform nanograsses displays a high areal capacitance, rate capability, energy density, and cyclic stability due to the nanostructure enhancing fast ion and material interactions. Ex-situ microscope images confirm the dependence of structural stability on the reaction time, and the nanograsses promoted ion interaction through material. Further, the reproducibility of the electrochemical performance confirms the binder-free Co<SUB>3</SUB>(PO<SUB>4</SUB>)<SUB>2</SUB> 1D nanograsses to be a suitable high-performance cathode material for application to hybrid supercapacitor. Finally, the assembled hybrid supercapacitor exhibits a high energy density (26.66 Wh kg<SUP>−1</SUP> at 750 W kg<SUP>−1</SUP>) and longer lifetimes (80% retained capacitance after 6000 cycles). Our results suggests that the Co<SUB>3</SUB>(PO<SUB>4</SUB>)<SUB>2</SUB> 1D nanograss design have a great promise for application to hybrid supercapacitor.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Binder-free cobalt phosphate cathode for hybrid supercapacitor. </LI> <LI> Stable structure and good electrochemical interaction confirmed via morphology. </LI> <LI> Uniform and direct growth enhances the electrochemical performance. </LI> <LI> The OH<SUP>−</SUP> ions more favor for large energy storage than NO<SUB>3</SUB> <SUP>−</SUP> ions. </LI> <LI> Ex-situ analysis confirms the influence of morphology on cyclic stability. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>

<P>The current study deals with the fabrication and characterization of blended nanofibrous scaffolds of tropical tasar silk fibroin of Antheraea mylitta and poly (D'-caprolactone) to act as an ideal scaffold for bone regeneration. The use of poly (D'-caprolactone) in osteogenesis is well-recognized. At the same time, the osteoconductive nature of the non-mulberry tasar fibroin is also established due to its internal integrin binding peptide RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) sequences, which enhance cellular interaction and proliferation. Considering that the materials have the required and favorable properties, the blends are formed using an equal volume ratio of fibroin (2 and 4 wt%) and poly (D'-caprolactone) solution (10 wt%) to fabricate nanofibers. The nanofibers possess an average diameter of 152 +/- 18 nm (2 % fibroin/PCL) and 175 +/- 15 nm (4 % fibroin/PCL). The results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy substantiates the preservation of the secondary structure of the fibroin in the blends indicating the structural stability of the neo-matrix. With an increase in the fibroin percentage, the hydrophobicity and thermal stability of the matrices as measured from melting temperature T-m (using DSC) decrease, while the mechanical strength is improved. The blended nanofibrous scaffolds are biodegradable, and support the viability and proliferation of human osteoblast-like cells as observed through scanning electron and confocal microscopes. Alkaline phosphatase assay indicates the cell proliferation and the generation of the neo-bone matrix. Taken together, these findings illustrate that the silk-poly (D'-caprolactone) blended nanofibrous scaffolds have an excellent prospect as scaffolding material in bone tissue engineering.</P>

A 42-year-old female with immunoglobulin A deficiency and recurrent sinopulmonary infections underwent thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Follow-up $^{123}I$ scintigraphy demonstrated diffuse pulmonary uptake, suggesting metastatic disease. However, subsequent pathologic, biochemical and radiographic testing proved that she was in fact disease free, and the initial $^{123}I$ pulmonary uptake was identified as a false positive. Inflammatory conditions may rarely cause iodine uptake in non-thyroidal tissues due to local retention, organification, and/or immunologic utilization. To avoid exposing patients to unnecessary treatments, it is critical for clinicians to recognize that comorbid pulmonary conditions may mimic metastatic PTC on radioiodine scintigraphy.
