Pseudocapacitive charge storage materials offer the opportunity to bridge the gap between high energy density battery materials and high power density electrical double layer capacitor materials through the rational design of transition metal oxide nanoscale architectures. The research reported in this paper describes the origins and development of pseudocapacitance in MoO 2 . Micron-size particles of MoO 2 exhibit a reversible monoclinic to orthorhombic phase transition upon lithium insertion/d

The transport and deposition behavior of Escherichia coli O157: H7 was investigated in saturated packed-bed columns and micromodel systems over a range of ionic strength (IS) (1, 10, and 100 mM) and pH (5.8, 8.4, and 9.2) conditions. At a given IS, elevated solution pH resulted in decreased deposition as a result of the increase in the measured zeta potential of the quartz sand. This deposition trend was consistent with predictions from classic Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory. Con

Three series of polymers were carefully formulated with increasing amounts of template while keeping the polymer components constant. The number of binding sites (N) and the number average association constant (K(n)()) were calculated for each polymer in a series, using equations adapted from the literature describing molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). The trends of N and K(n)() for each series of polymers, which were graphed versus percent template, suggest multiple functional monomers in t

Experiments were conducted using enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 cells to investigate the influence of extracellular macromolecules on cell surface properties and adhesion behavior to quartz sand. Partial removal of the extracellular macromolecules on cells by a proteolytic enzyme (proteinase K) was confirmed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyses. The proteinase K treated cells exhibited more negative electrophoretic mobility (EPM) at an ionic strength (IS) < or = 1 m
