We show the effect of a very small addition of LiClO4 to tetraethyl ammonium perchlorate (TEAP) in acetonitrile on the electro-reduction of molecular oxygen (ORR) at a rotating ring (Pt) glassy carbon (GC) disk electrode. ...

The addition of ceria (CeO2) nanoparticles to the cathode of a lithium-oxygen battery results in increased capacity, lower overpotentials and better cyclability. To shed light on the mechanisms of this performance enhancement, ...

Increased neuronal oxidative stress (OxS) induces deleterious effects on signal transduction, structural plasticity and cellular resilience, mainly by inducing lipid peroxidation in membranes, proteins and genes. Major ...

The dismutation of electrochemically generated soluble lithium superoxide with the formation of a lithium peroxide deposit on Au has been studied by addition of lithium ions and following the mass uptake detected by the ...

Ex situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used to study the morphology of oxygen reduction products in the LiPF6–dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) electrolyte, i.e. Li2O2 on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) surface. ...

Population aging has increased the prevalence of chronic non-communicable diseases, including psychiatric disorders such as depression and bipolar spectrum disorders (BSDs). Evidence suggests that such disorders are ...

The high theoretical energy density of lithium-oxygen batteries brings the promise of higher performance than existing batteries, but several technological problems must be addressed before actual applications are made ...
