Photocatalytic degradation of metronidazole in aqueous solution by niobate K<Subscript>6</Subscript>Nb<Subscript>10.8</Subscript>O<Subscript>30</Subscript>

The photocatalytic degradation of antibiotic metroni-dazole in aqueous solution by niobate K6Nb10.8O30 photocatalyst that was prepared using a soft-chemical method was studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and UV-Vis absorption spectrum. Metronidazole is very stable and is difficult to degrade under UV irradiation. K6Nb10.8O30 photocatalyst cannot degrade metronidazole without UV irradiation and shows very high photo-catalytic activity for the degradation of metronidazole under UV irradiation. The photocatalytic degradation rate of metronidazole increased with increasing the dosage of K6Nb10.8O30 photocatalyst. The photocatalytic degradation reaction of metronidazole by nio-bate K6Nb10.8O30 follows the first-order kinetic equation.     

Annealing temperature-dependent electrochemical properties of Aeroxide P25 TiO_2 nanoparticles as anode material for lithium storage

TiO_2 has been widely studied as an important electrode material for electrochemical energy storage.Understanding its relationship between textural properties and electrochemical characteristics is essential to boosting its practical performances. Herein, Aeroxide P25 TiO_2 nanoparticles annealing at different temperatures(400–600 °C) were investigated as an anode material of lithium ion battery. Their evolution in crystal phase and microstructural characteristics were characterized by XRD and BET surface analysis, and their lithium storage properties in half-cells were evaluated by various electrochemical analyses, including cyclic voltammetry, cycling testing, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. It was found that the lithium storage properties were critically dependent on the size of TiO_2 anode materials. Pristine P25 initially exhibited the highest initial discharge specific capacity due to its smallest particle size; however, rapid capacity loss occurred during extended cycling. The annealing process was found to effectively enhance the cycling stability of TiO_2 although possessing a large particle size and smaller surface area. Typically, P400 showed the best performances in cycling stability, capacity retention ratio, and rate capability, which is mainly attributed to the synergistic effect of high crystallinity, reasonable particle size, and less internal resistance. This study provides an instance of optimizing the textural properties of metal oxides for advanced LIB anode material applications.

Improving the rate capability of a SiO_x/graphite anode by adding LiNO_3

SiO_x/graphite anodes have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their high specific capacity.Unfortunately,a thick solid-electrolyte-interface,which is produced by the decomposition of carbonate-based electrolytes,impedes the diffusion of lithium ions and significantly limits the rate performance of this interesting anode for practical applications.In this work,a LiNO_3additive was introduced during the preparation of an anode electrode paste.The results of SEM,ex and in situ XRD and XPS showed that LiNO_3decomposed into LiN_xO_yand Li_3N,which deposited on the anode surface during the first discharge process.Due to the high ionic conductivity of LiN_xO_yand Li_3N,the rate performance of the SiO_x/graphite anode was significantly improved,showing a specific capacity nearly three times higher than that without the additive.In addition,the decomposition of the electrolyte during cycling was also suppressed by the LiN_xO_yand Li_3N inorganic salts because of their low electronic conductivity and superior robustness.Our approach is facile and easy to scale up,which will be of great significance for the commercialization of SiO_x/graphite anodes.     

A designed core-shell structural composite of lithium terephthalate coating on Li4Ti5O12 as anode for lithium ion batteries

A core-shell structural composite was synthesized with lithium terephthalate（Li₂C₈H₄O₄） coated on spinel Li₄Ti₅O₁₂（LTO）. The composite displays a capacity of about 200 mA h g^-1 and a good rate capability with two charge/discharge platforms at 1.55 and 0.8 V. The excellent cycling performance of the composite is attributed to the successful combination of high cycling stability of LTO and high specific capacity of Li₂C₈H₄O₄. In addition, an interesting phenomena is observed for the first time for this composite which is that lithium ions transfer between LTO and Li₂C₈H₄O₄ at a fast speed. This is investigated in details via the asymmetric charge/discharge measurement and cyclic voltammogram（CV）.The LTO/Li₂C₈H₄O₄ composite may have potential applications to be used as an anode material for the electric vehicle batteries, which is shallowly charged/discharged at ordinary times using the charge/discharge platform of LTO and fully charged/discharged at emergency to release the extra high capacity from Li₂C₈H₄O₄.     

Lithium lowers renal,cardiac and splenic ornithine decarboxylase activity in mice

Summary A single i.p. injection of lithium chloride (5–7.5 moles/g b.wt) in mice caused a 70–80% decrease in renal, cardiac and splenic ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity within 1 h, whereas pulmonary ODC activity was unaffected. Lithium chloride did not have any effect on ODC activity in vitro when added to homogenates of the tissues studied. We suggest that the effect of lithium on ODC activity is not direct, but mediated via e.g. hormonal or nervous influence.This study was supported by grants from the Swedish Medical Research Council (04X-02212, 14X-00028), and the Faculty of Medicine, University of Lund (Sweden).
