Here, flexibleand tailorable quasi‐solid‐state microsized Ag/Zn batteries (micro‐AZBs)were designed by combining mask‐assisted spray printing and electrochemicaldeposition strategies. The micro‐AZBs display ultrastable outputvoltage, excellent energy, and power densities, as well as stable cycling performance.Furthermore, the micro‐AZBs with desired shapes can be designedin series or in parallel on a flexible chip to output improved voltage or currentwith the internal connection. More importantly, the microelectrodes could besprayed on various substrates. Flexible micro‐AZBs could be achieved onflexible substrates and tailorable micro‐AZBs are obtained when they arefabricated on clothes. They exhibit stable electrochemical performance evenunder bending or cutting states. The novel design of such quasi‐solid‐statemicro‐AZBs would pave a way for the miniaturization and integration ofenergy storage devices.展开更多

EDDF has been extracted from human erythrocytes. The changes of Ca2+ levels in cytoplasm ([Ca2+],) and nucleus ([Ca2+]n) have been observed using a laser scanning confocal microscope together with fluo-3/AM as a calcium indicator. Flow cytometric technique was used to study the effect of EDDF on cell cycle and apoptosis of VSMC. [Ca2+]j and [Ca2+]n were significantly decreased through several different pathways: ( i) it reduced the Ca2+ influx by blocking L-type voltage-dependent calcium channel (L-VDC) and R-type voltage-dependent calcium channel (R-VDC); (ii) it inhibited the Ca2+ release from inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate (IP3) sensitive calcium store; and (iii) activated Ca2+-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum (展开更多

Among various energy storage devices, aqueous zinc ion batteries(ZIBs) are one of the promising candidates due to their low cost, good safety, high energy and power densities. However, the conventional cathodes of aqueous ZIBs were often prepared by mixing active materials with binders and conductive additives and then coating them onto current collectors. The resultant cathodes often suffer from unsatisfied flexibility. Herein, we fabricated freestanding reduced graphene oxide/NaV_3O_8·1.5H_2O(RGO/NVO) composite films with interlinked multilayered architecture by a vacuum filtrating process. Such composite films exhibit excellent mechanical property and high electronic conductivity. Owing to unique architecture, they display a high capacity of 410 mA h g^(-1) and excellent cycling performance up to 2000 cycles with a high capacity retention of 94%. Moreover, RGO/NVO composite films can directly serve as the cathodes of flexible aqueous ZIBs. As a proof of concept,flexible ZIBs were assembled based on the composite films. Impressively, they exhibit stable performance at different bending states, demonstrating great potential application in flexible energy storage devices.展开更多

文摘The recent boom in large-scale energy storage system promotes the development of lithium-oxygen batteries because of their high theo retical energy density.However,their applications are still limited by the sluggish kinetic,insoluble discharge product deposition and the undesired parasitic reaction.Herein,the free-standing nitrogen doped reduced graphene oxide/Co(OH)_(2)(NRGO/Co(OH)_(2)) composite films were prepared by a facile hydrothermal method,The NRGO/Co(OH)_(2) composite films display interconnected three-dimensional conductive network,which can not only promote the diffusion of O2 and the transport of electrolyte ions,but also provide abundant storage space for discharge products.Moreover,the introduction of nitrogen-containing functional groups results in improved conductivity and electron adsorption ability,which can facilitate electron transport and enhance the surface catalytic activity.Combining with excellent catalytic performance,the lithium-oxygen batteries with NRGO/Co(OH)_(2) composite film cathodes deliver low charge overpotential and excellent cycling performance.
