Chunfu Lin,Li Lu,Yuelong Xin,Fuquan Cheng,Man On Lai,Henghui Zhou 한국진공학회 2014 Applied Science and Convergence Technology Vol.23 No.2

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become popular electrochemical devices. Due to the unique advantages of LIBs in terms of high operating voltage, high energy density, low self-discharge, and absence of memory effects, their application range, which was primarily restricted to portable electronic devices, is now being extended to high-power applications, such as electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electrical vehicles (HEVs). Among various anode materials, Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) is believed to be a promising anode material for high-power LIBs due to its advantages of high working potential and outstanding cyclic stability. However, the rate performance of LTO is limited by its intrinsically low electronic conductivity and poor Li+ ion diffusion coefficient. This review highlights the recent progress in improving the rate performance of LTO through doping, compositing, and nanostructuring strategies.

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become popular electrochemical devices. Due to the unique advantages of LIBs in terms of high operating voltage, high energy density, low self-discharge, and absence of memory effects, their application range, which was primarily restricted to portable electronic devices, is now being extended to high-power applications, such as electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electrical vehicles (HEVs). Among various anode materials, $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ (LTO) is believed to be a promising anode material for high-power LIBs due to its advantages of high working potential and outstanding cyclic stability. However, the rate performance of LTO is limited by its intrinsically low electronic conductivity and poor $Li^+$ ion diffusion coefficient. This review highlights the recent progress in improving the rate performance of LTO through doping, compositing, and nanostructuring strategies.

Effects of Molecular Structure of Carboxyl-Containing Vinyl Monomers on Sizing Properties of Feather Keratin Graft Copolymer

Manli Li,Enqi Jin,Zhiyong Qiao,Yuting Xiong 한국섬유공학회 2019 Fibers and polymers Vol.20 No.9

In order to study the effects of molecular structure of carboxyl-containing vinyl monomers on applicationperformance of feather keratin (FK) graft copolymer for warp sizing, three kinds of carboxyl acids, i.e. acrylic acid (AA),methacrylic acid (MAA), and itaconic acid (IA), were grafted onto molecular chains of FK through initiation of K2S2O8-NaHSO3 redox system. FK-g-PAA, FK-g-PMAA, and FK-g-PIA with similar grafting ratios around 31 % were prepared assizing agents. Major sizing properties of the three grafted keratins were studied in terms of water-solubility, apparentviscosity, contact angles of sizing paste on cotton fibers, mechanical properties of sizing film, and adhesion to fibers. It wasfound that sizing properties of the grafted FK strongly depended on molecular structure of the carboxyl-containing vinylmonomers. In view of overall performance of the grafted keratin sizes, the most appropriate carboxyl-containing vinylmonomer should be AA.

Effects of Alkyl Chain Length of Aliphatic Dicarboxylic Ester on Degradation Properties of Aliphatic-Aromatic Water-Soluble Copolyesters for Warp Sizing

Manli Li,Enqi Jin,Zhiyong Qiao,Rongli Zhao 한국섬유공학회 2018 Fibers and polymers Vol.19 No.3

In order to study the effects of alkyl chain length of aliphatic dicarboxylic ester (ADE) monomers on enzymatic and hydrolytic degradation properties of aliphatic-aromatic water-soluble copolyesters for warp sizing, dimethyl terephthalate, dimethyl isophthalate-5-sulfonic sodium, and ADE monomers with various alkyl chain lengths were copolymerized through a two-step method, i.e. transesterification and polycondensation. The enzymatic and hydrolytic degradation properties of the copolyesters were studied in terms of reduction rates of molecular weight, glass transition temperatures, and surface morphology after being cultivated for 24-96 h. It was found that, enzymatic degradation of the copolyesters strongly depended on alkyl chain length of ADE monomers. After being enzymatically degraded for 96 h, reduction rate of molecular weight of the copolyester using dimethyl malonate as ADE monomers could reach 22.2 %. Meanwhile, the hydrolytic degradation of the copolyesters was not directly related to the alkyl chain length.

Li Du,Man-man Li,Bai-Xia Zhang,Shuai-Bing He,Ya-Nam Hu,Yun Wang 셀메드 세포교정의약학회 2015 셀메드 (CellMed) Vol.5 No.4

Literatures and experimental studies have shown that Prunella has an effect on anti-hypertension, however, its components are complicated, so that it is still difficult to clear the specific roles of its various components in blood pressure regulation in. So we decide to systematically study the anti-hypertension mechanism of Prunella. We integrated multiple databases and constructed molecular interaction network between the chemical constituents of Prunella Vulgaris and hypertension based on entity grammar systems model. The network has 262 nodes and 802 edges. Then we infer the interactions between chemical compositions and disease targets to clarify the anti-hypertension mechanism. Finally, we found Prunella could influence hypertension by regulating apoptosis, cell proliferation, blood vessel development and vasoconstriction, etc. Thus this study provides reference for drug development and compatibility, and also gives guidance for health care at a certain extent.

cDNA cloning, expression, and immunolocalization of gonadinhibiting hormone (GIH) in Litopenaeus vannamei

Guang-li Li,Si-ping Deng,Shu-na Jiang,Man Ye,Hua-pu Chen,Siuming F. Chan,Chun-hua Zhu 한국유전학회 2015 Genes & Genomics Vol.37 No.10

In this study, the full-length GIH cDNA sequence from Litopenaeus vannamei was cloned from the eyestalk by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and rapid amplification of cDNA ends. The fulllength GIH cDNA was 865 bp with a 288 bp open-reading frame, which encoded a 96 amino acid prepro-GIH with 17 amino acid signal peptide. L. vannamei GIH (LvGIH) can be classified as a member of type-II crustacean hyperglycemic hormone polypeptide family. LvGIH shares 93.8 and 66.7 % amino acid sequence identity with GIH from Penaeus monodon, and the molt-inhibiting hormone from Marsupenaeus japonicas, respectively. By quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR), LvGIH mRNA transcripts were detected in fertilized eggs, nauplius, zoea, mysis and juveniles of 25, 35 and 40 days old. LvGIH transcript levels increased significantly with the development from fertilized eggs to juveniles. LvGIH transcript levels were highest in juveniles at 35 days old. By RT-PCR, LvGIH mRNA transcripts were detected only in the eyestalks and brains but not in the muscles, intestines, gills, heart, hepatopancreas, ovaries and testes of adults, and there was no difference in the expression level of LvGIH between males and females. Using the P. monodon anti-GIH antibody, we showed that LvGIH was located mainly in the XO-SG and slightly in axon, with similar fluorescence intensity found in XO and SG. To summarize, we have cloned and characterized the GIH of the shrimp L. vannamei. In addition to the GIH properties described in other crustaceans, a peak of LvGIH expression was identified at the time of sexual differentiation (i.e., day 35 larvae) suggesting that LvGIH may also be involved in the control of this process.
