• Polyacrylonitrile-Nanofiber-Based Gel Polymer Electrolyte for Novel Aqueous Sodium-Ion Battery Based on a Na4Mn9O18 Cathode and Zn Metal Anode 

  Zhang, Yongguang; Bakenov, Zhumabay; Tan, Taizhe; Huang, Jin (MDPI, 2018-08-02)

  A gel polymer electrolyte was formed by trapping an optimized Na+/Zn2+ mixed-ion aqueous electrolyte in a polyacrylonitrile nanofiber polymer matrix. This electrolyte was used in a novel aqueous sodium-ion battery (ASIB) ...
• Three-Dimensional Hierarchical Porous Structure of PPy/Porous-Graphene to Encapsulate Polysulfides for Lithium/Sulfur Batteries 

  Zhang, Yongguang; Bakenov, Zhumabay (MDPI, 2018-08-09)

  Herein, we demonstrate the fabrication of a three-dimensional (3D) polypyrrole-coatedporous graphene (PPy/PG) composite through in-situ polymerization of pyrrole monomer on PG surface. The PPy/PG displays a 3D hierarchical ...
• Black Hole Bounces on the Road to Quantum Gravity 

  Malafarina, Daniele (MDPI, 2018-08-28)

  Quantum resolutions of the space-time singularity at the end of gravitational collapse may provide hints towards the properties of a final theory of Quantum-Gravity. The mechanism by which the singularity is avoided and ...
• L Chromosome Behaviour and Chromosomal Imprinting in Sciara Coprophila 

  Singh, Prim B.; Belyakin, Stepan (2018-09-03)

  The retention of supernumerary chromosomes in the germ-line of Sciara coprophila is part of a highly-intricate pattern of chromosome behaviours that have fascinated cytogeneticists for over 80 years. Germ-line limited ...
• Revisiting the Effect of Slag in Reducing Heat of Hydration in Concrete in Comparison to Other Supplementary Cementitious Materials 

  Moon, Hoon; Ramanathan, Sivakumar; Suraneni, Prannoy; Shon, Chang-Seon; Lee, Chang-Joon; Chung, Chul-Woo (MDPI, 2018-09-27)

  Blast furnace slag (SL) is an amorphous calcium aluminosilicate material that exhibits both pozzolanic and latent hydraulic activities. It has been successfully used to reduce the heat of hydration in mass concrete. ...
