Catholyte‐Free Composite Cathodes Break the Energy Density Barrier of All‐Solid‐State Lithium Batteries

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
All‐solid‐state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) with conventional catholyte‐based composite cathodes have a theoretical energy density limit of approximately 400 Wh kg–1 and 900 Wh L–1. The design of catholyte‐free composite cathodes can break this barrier and improve the theoretical energy density up to 500 Wh kg–1 and 1000 Wh L–1. ABSTRACT The gravimetric

Effect of Pretreatment Methods on the Proximate Composition, Antinutritional Factors, Antioxidants Properties, and In Vitro Antidiabetic Activities of Hypsizygus ulmarius

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
The effect of pretreatment methods on the proximate content, antinutrient factors, antioxidant, and in vitro antidiabetic activities of elm oyster mushroom was studied. It was observed and statistically concluded that soaking in 0.5% salt solution for 5 min had the least deteriorating effect on the antioxidant and in vitro antidiabetic activities ...
