Effect of PAN Oxidation on the Electrochemical Lithium Insertion/Deinsertion Behavior of Resultant Carbons by Aleksandra Piotrowska, Krzysztof Kierzek, Jacek Machnikowski

“…It gives reversible capacity (Crev) near 420 mAh g−1 with a reasonable coulombic efficiency during cycling of ~99% and a moderate low voltage capacity of 100 mAh g−1. Extensive oxidation enhances overall 1st discharge cycle capacity to 870 mAh g−1 and Crev to 560 mAh g−1; however, large irreversible capacity (Cirr) and poor cycleability are serious drawbacks of all carbons from oxidized PAN. …”

Implications of high-resolution velocity and strain rate observations for modelling of Greenlandic tidewater glaciers by Dominik Fahrner, Pablo J. González, Douglas W. F. Mair, James M. Lea

“…Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has been used extensively to determine the surface ice flow velocity of tidewater glaciers and investigate changes in seasonal or annual ice dynamics at medium spatial resolution (⩾100 m). However, assessing tidewater glacier behaviour at these resolutions risks missing key details of glacier dynamics, which is particularly important for determination of strain rates that relate to crevasse formation, depth, and ice damage. …”
