Boosting Charge Storage in Ferri/Ferrocyanide‐Based Alkaline Redox Flow Batteries

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
By modifying the solvation environment, cation engineering through Li+ substitution of traditional K+ or Na+ boosts the alkaline solubility of the ferri/ferrocyanide catholyte redox couple, providing a viable pathway to overcome the long‐standing challenge of energy density limitations for aqueous redox flow batteries (RBFs).

Blood concentrations of p,p′-DDE and PCBs in harriers breeding in Spain and Kazakhstan [PDF]

open access: yesScience of The Total Environment, 2018
Organochlorine compounds (OC) are of interest in current biomonitoring studies because of their well-known persistence, accumulation capacity and the adverse effects they caused in the past. P,p'-DDE has been shown to cause severe reproductive failures and population declines in birds of prey. However, there are knowledge gaps regarding OC exposure for
