TL;DR: In this article, the biopolymer guar gum (GG) is applied as the binder for a silicon nano-particle (SiNP) anode of a lithium-ion battery for the first time.
Abstract: Binders have been reported to play a key role in improving the cycle performance of Si anode materials of lithium-ion batteries. In this study, the biopolymer guar gum (GG) is applied as the binder for a silicon nanoparticle (SiNP) anode of a lithium-ion battery for the first time. Due to the large number of polar hydroxyl groups in the GG molecule, a robust interaction between the GG binder and the SiNPs is achieved, resulting in a stable Si anode during cycling. More specifically, the GG binder can effectively transfer lithium ions to the Si surface, similarly to polyethylene oxide solid electrolytes. When GG is used as a binder, the SiNP anode can deliver an initial discharge capacity as high as 3364 mAh g−1, with a Coulombic efficiency of 88.3% at the current density of 2100 mA g−1, and maintain a capacity of 1561 mAh g−1 after 300 cycles. The study shows that the electrochemical performance of the SiNP anode with GG binder is significantly improved compared to that of a SiNP anode with a sodium alginate binder, and it demonstrates that GG is a promising binder for Si anodes of lithium-ion batteries.

TL;DR: The Zhu-jiang (Pearl River) estuary and its adjacent continental shelf in the Northern South China Sea (SCS) is unique in that its drainage basin is located entirely in a subtropical zone with heavy population development, and therefore represents an important regime for biogeochemical studies on how large rivers influence continental shelves.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of graphene-confined 3D transition metals (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu) were screened, yet only single Fe atoms could catalyze the methane conversion, and they found that methane conversion proceeds on the O-FeN4-O active site along a radical pathway to produce CH3OH and CH3OOH first, and then the generated CH3HO can be further catalyzed to form HOCH2OOH and HCOOH at room temperature.
