Enhancing Li-S Battery Performance with Porous Carbon from Hanji by Yunju Choi, Jaeyeong Lee, Jong-Pil Kim, Sei-Jin Lee, Euh Duck Jeong, Jong-Seong Bae, Heon-Cheol Shin

“…In addition, flake carbon-coated separators (FCCSs) were integrated into Li-S cells to further enhance their performance, achieving a high initial specific capacity of approximately 1200 mAh/g and maintaining a capacity of 620 mAh/g after 100 cycles. In contrast, cells with conventional polypropylene separators exhibited lower initial capacities (946 mAh/g), which decreased to 366 mAh/g after 100 cycles. …”

Host selection is not a universal driver of phyllosphere community assembly among ecologically similar native New Zealand plant species by Anya S. Noble, Jaber Abbaszadeh, Charles K. Lee

“…Results We detected significant correlations between host species identity and mānuka phyllosphere communities that are consistent with a dominant role of host selection in the assembly of the mānuka phyllosphere microbiome. In contrast, the phyllosphere community compositions of neighbouring, ecologically similar native plants were highly variable, suggesting that stochastic processes, such as dispersal, had a stronger influence on the phyllosphere microbiomes of those non-mānuka plants compared to the phyllosphere microbiome of mānuka. …”

Ionothermal Synthesis of a Novel 3D Cobalt Coordination Polymer with a Uniquely Reported Framework: [BMI]2[Co2(BTC)2(H2O)2] by Il-Ju Ko, Hyun-Chang Oh, Yong-Jun Cha, Chae Hyeok Han, Eun-Young Choi

“…Similar ionothermal reactions with different [EMI]Br and [PMI]Br as the reaction media have been previously reported to produce [EMI]2[Co3(BTC)2(OAc)2] (compound A1) and [PMI]2[Co2(BTC)2(H2O)2] (compound B1), respectively. In contrast with the trinuclear secondary building unit of A1, the framework structure of B1 and B2 consists of dinuclear secondary building units in common, but with subtle distinction posed by the different size of the incorporated cations. …”
