A simple and efficient CRISPR/Cas9 system permits ultra-multiplex genome editing in plants

The development and maturation of the CRISPR/Cas genome editing system provides a valuable tool for plant functional genomics and genetic improvement.Currently available genome-editing tools have a limited number of targets,restricting their application in genetic research.In this study,we developed a novel CRISPR/Cas9 plant ultra-multiplex genome editing system consisting of two template vectors,eight donor vectors,four destination vectors,and one primer-design software package.By combining the advantages of Golden Gate cloning to assemble multiple repetitive fragments and Gateway recombination to assemble large fragments and by changing the structure of the amplicons used to assemble sg RNA expression cassettes,the plant ultra-multiplex genome editing system can assemble a single binary vector targeting more than 40 genomic loci.A rice knockout vector containing 49 sg RNA expression cassettes was assembled and a high co-editing efficiency was observed.This plant ultra-multiplex genome editing system advances synthetic biology and plant genetic engineering.

客体溶剂导向策略构筑异构的金属有机框架材料实现二氧化碳和甲烷的动力学分离

利用吸附分离技术实现二氧化碳和甲烷的分离是提高天然气品质的一种有效手段。然而,基于热力学分离的吸附剂对二氧化碳往往表现出很强的亲和力,因此再生过程会产生巨大的能耗。相较而言,尽管精准调控吸附剂孔径以实现吸附质扩散速率的巨大差异仍具有巨大挑战,动力学分离技术仍是变压吸附(PSA)过程的首选。本文报道了一种用于在亚埃尺度精准调控吸附剂孔径的客体溶剂导向策略,实现了二氧化碳和甲烷的高效动力学分离。基于4,4-(六氟异丙基亚甲基)-双(苯甲酸)和双核铜的轮桨型结构单元,我们构筑了一系列异构的金属有机框架材料。结果表明,得益于周期性扩张和收缩的孔道以及理想的孔径尺寸,CuFMOF·CH_(3)OH(CuFMOF-c)能够有效地捕获二氧化碳并阻碍甲烷的扩散,从而表现出优异的动力学分离性能,其具有极高的动力学选择性(273.5)和平衡-动力学综合选择性(64.2)。分子动力学(MD)模拟阐明了分离机制,固定床穿透实验验证了材料优异的分离性能。

Derivation of Cloud-Free-Region Atmospheric Motion Vectors from FY-2E Thermal Infrared Imagery

The operational cloud-motion tracking technique fails to retrieve atmospheric motion vectors(AMVs) in areas lacking cloud; and while water vapor shown in water vapor imagery can be used, the heights assigned to the retrieved AMVs are mostly in the upper troposphere. As the noise-equivalent temperature difference(NEd T) performance of FY-2E split window(10.3–11.5 μm, 11.6–12.8 μm) channels has been improved, the weak signals representing the spatial texture of water vapor and aerosols in cloud-free areas can be strengthened with algorithms based on the difference principle, and applied in calculating AMVs in the lower troposphere. This paper is a preliminary summary for this purpose, in which the principles and algorithm schemes for the temporal difference, split window difference and second-order difference(SD) methods are introduced. Results from simulation and cases experiments are reported in order to verify and evaluate the methods, based on comparison among retrievals and the "truth". The results show that all three algorithms, though not perfect in some cases,generally work well. Moreover, the SD method appears to be the best in suppressing the surface temperature influence and clarifying the spatial texture of water vapor and aerosols. The accuracy with respect to NCEP 800 h Pa reanalysis data was found to be acceptable, as compared with the accuracy of the cloud motion vectors.

Hybridization of metal–organic framework and monodisperse spherical silica for chromatographic separation of xylene isomers

Metal–organic frameworks(MOFs) packed in the column have been a promising candidate as the stationary phase for high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC). However, the direct packing of irregular MOF powder could raise some problems like high back pressure and low column efficiency in the HPLC separation. In this work, UiO-66 capable of separating xylenes was supported effectively on the surface of the monodisperse spherical silica microspheres by one-pot method. The hybridization of Ui O-66 and silica microspheres(termed UiO-66@SiO2 shell–core composite) was prepared by stirring the suspension of the precursors of Ui O-66 and\\COOH terminated silica in the N,N-dimethylformamide with heating. The shell–core composite material UiO66@SiO2 was characterized by SEM, TEM, PXRD and FTIR. Then, it was used as a packing material for the chromatographic separation of xylene isomers. Xylene isomers including o-xylene, m-xylene and p-xylene were efficiently separated on the column with high resolution and good reproducibility. Moreover, the Ui O-66@SiO2 shell–core composites packed column still remained reverse shape selectivity as Ui O-66 possessed, and the retention of xylenes was probably ascribed to the hydrophobic effect between analytes and the aromatic rings of the Ui O-66 shell. The Ui O-66@SiO2 shell–core composites obtained in this study have some potential for the separation of structural isomers in HPLC.

Individualized Design of the Ventilator Mask based on the Residual Concentration of CO2

OSAHS(Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome)is a respiratory disease mainly characterized by limited and repeated pauses of breathing in sleep.Currently,the optimal treatment is to apply CPAP(Continuous Positive Airway Pressure)ventilation on the upper airway of the patient through a household respiratory machine.However,if the ventilator mask is designed improperly,it might cause the residue and repeated inhalation of CO2,which will exert an adverse impact on the therapeutic effect.Present research numerically analyzed the CO2 transportation inside a commercial ventilator mask(Mirage SoftGel,ResMed,Australia)based on the reconstructed 3D numerical model of a volunteer's face and performed the improved design of the ventilator mask in terms of the CO2 residual concentration below the nostrils.The fluid dynamic analyses showed that at the end time of expiratory,the CO2 residual concentration below the nostrils is close to 4%.To improve the therapeutic effect,we changed the position of the exhaust holes and found that by moving the exhaust holes to the bottom of the ventilator mask,the CO2 residual concentration below the nostrils would be reduced to no more than 1%.This study established a near physiological computational model and provided a new method for the individualized design of the commercial ventilator mask.

ALM1, encoding a Fe-superoxide dismutase, is critical for rice chloroplast biogenesis and drought stress response

Chloroplasts are the center of plant life activities including photosynthesis,growth and development,and abiotic stress response.Chloroplast development and biogenesis in rice have been studied in detail,but how does abiotic stress affect chloroplasts is less studied.We obtained an albino mutant,alm1,whose chlorophyll content was greatly decreased.Transmission electron microscopy showed that chloroplast development in alm1 was blocked,especially in thylakoid-like structures,which could not form normally.The ALM1 gene encodes a chloroplast-localized superoxide dismutase.Full-length ALM1 successfully restored the non-albino phenotype,and in knockout lines,the albino phenotype reappeared.The ALM1gene is expressed mainly in young leaves.alm1 plants died as a consequence of excessive reactive oxygen accumulation after the third-leaf stage.A series of biochemical assays verified that ALM1 interacted with the OsTrxz protein,which is one of the components of plastid-encoded RNA polymerase (PEP) complexes.A western blot experiment indicated that ALM1 played an important role in stabilizing OsTrxz in rice.An overexpression test of ALM1 revealed that ALM1 can increase drought resistance by removing excess reactive oxygen in rice seedlings.This study suggests that ALM1 not only participates in rice chloroplast biogenesis,but also increases rice stress resistance by scavenging excess reactive oxygen.

A strategy to achieve high loading and high energy density Li-S batteries

Lithium-sulfur(Li-S) batteries are one of the most promising rechargeable storage devices due to the high theoretical energy density.However,the low areal sulfur loading impedes their commercial development.Herein,a 3 D free-standing sulfur cathode scaffold is rationally designed and fabricated by coaxially coating polar Ti_3 C_2 T_x flakes on sulfur-impregnated carbon cloth(Ti_3 C_2 T_x@S/CC) to achieve high loading and high energy density Li-S batteries,in which,the flexible CC substrate with highly porous structure can accommodate large amounts of sulfur and ensure fast electron transfer,while the outer-coated Ti_3 C_2 T_x can serve as a polar and conductive protective layer to further promote the conductivity of the whole electrode,achieve physical blocking and chemical anchoring of lithium-polysulfides as well as catalyze their conversion.Due to these advantages,at a sulfur loading of 4 mg cm^(-2),Li-S cells with Ti_3 C_2 T_x@S/CC cathodes can deliver outstanding cycling stability(746.1 mAh g^(-1) after 200 cycles at1 C),superb rate performance(866.8 mAh g^(-1) up to 2 C) and a high specific energy density(564.2 Wh kg^(-1) after 100 cycles at 0.5 C).More significantly,they also show the commercial potential that can compete with current lithium-ion batteries due to the high areal capacity of 6.7 mAh cm^(-2) at the increased loading of 8 mg cm^(-2).

All-solid-state flexible asymmetric supercapacitors with high energy and power densities based on NiCo_2S_4@MnS and active carbon

Electrode material based on a novel core–shell structure consisting of NiCo_2S_4(NCS) solid fiber core and Mn S(MS) sheet shell(NCS@MS) in situ grown on carbon cloth(CC) has been successfully prepared by a simple sulfurization-assisted hydrothermal method for high performance supercapacitor. The synthesized NiCo_2S_4@Mn S/CC electrode shows high capacitance of 1908.3 F g^(-1) at a current density of 0.5 A g^(-1) which is higher than those of NiCo_2S_4 and Mn S at the same current density. A flexible all-solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor(ASC) is constructed by using NiCo_2S_4@Mn S/CC as positive electrode, active carbon/CC as negative electrode and KOH/poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) as electrolyte. The optimized ASC shows a maximum energy density of 23.3 Wh kg^(-1) at 1 A g^(-1), a maximum power density of about7.5 kw kg^(-1) at 10 A g^(-1) and remarkable cycling stability. After 9000 cycles, the ASC still exhibited67.8% retention rate and largely unchanged charge/discharge curves. The excellent electrochemical properties are resulted from the novel core–shell structure of the NiCo_2S_4@Mn S/CC electrode, which possesses both high surface area for Faraday redox reaction and superior kinetics of charge transport. The NiCo_2S_4@Mn S/CC electrode shows a promising potential for energy storage applications in the future.

Solution‑Processed Transparent Conducting Electrodes for Flexible Organic Solar Cells with 16.61% Efficiency

Nonfullerene organic solar cells(OSCs)have achieved breakthrough with pushing the efficiency exceeding 17%.While this shed light on OSC commercialization,high-performance flexible OSCs should be pursued through solution manufacturing.Herein,we report a solution-processed flexible OSC based on a transparent conducting PEDOT:PSS anode doped with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid(CF3SO3H).Through a low-concentration and low-temperature CF3SO3H doping,the conducting polymer anodes exhibited a main sheet resistance of 35Ωsq−1(minimum value:32Ωsq−1),a raised work function(≈5.0 eV),a superior wettability,and a high electrical stability.The high work function minimized the energy level mismatch among the anodes,hole-transporting layers and electron-donors of the active layers,thereby leading to an enhanced carrier extraction.The solution-processed flexible OSCs yielded a record-high efficiency of 16.41%(maximum value:16.61%).Besides,the flexible OSCs afforded the 1000 cyclic bending tests at the radius of 1.5 mm and the long-time thermal treatments at 85°C,demonstrating a high flexibility and a good thermal stability.

Nb_(2)CT_(x) MXene: High capacity and ultra-long cycle capability for lithium-ion battery by regulation of functional groups

MXenes are well known for their potential application in supercapacitors due to their high-rate intercalation pseudocapacitance and long cyclability.However,the reported low capacity of pristine MXenes hinders their practical application in lithium-ion batteries.In this work,a robust strategy is developed to control the functional groups of Nb_2 CT_x MXene.The capacity of pristine Nb_2 CT_x MXene can be significantly increased by Li~+ intercalation and surface modification.The specific capacity of the treated Nb_2 CT_x is up to 448 mAh g^(-1) at 0.05 A g^(-1),and at a large current density of 2 A g^(-1) remains a high reversible capacity retention rate of 75% after an ultra-long cycle of 2000 cycles.These values exceed most of the reported pristine MXenes(including the most studied Ti_3 C_2 T_x) and carbon-based materials.It demonstrates that this strategy has great help to improve the electrochemical performance of pristine MXene,and the results enhance the promise of MXenes in the application of lithium-ion batteries.

Flavonoids of Rosa rugosa Thunb.inhibit tumor proliferation and metastasis in human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells

Rosa rugosa Thunb.is recognized as both medicine and edible in China.The article investigated the antitumor activity of rose flavonoids.Water-extracted rose flavonoids(RFW)and ethanol-extracted rose flavonoids(RFE)were achieved by extracting with distilled water and 70%ethanol,respectively.The effects of the two extracts on proliferation inhibition,apoptosis inducement and metastasis prevention of human HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines were tested,via optical/fluorescence microscopy,MTT detection,Transwell assay,flow cytometry and Western blot,etc.The results indicated that rose flavonoids at low concentration(10-40μg/mL)had a better inhibitory effect on migration and invasion of HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner,while rose flavonoids at high concentration(80-160μg/mL)could induce apoptosis of HepG2 cells by up-regulating the expression of pro-apoptotic proteins p53 and Bax,and down-regulating the expression of anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2,leading to the functioning of caspase-3 and caspase-9.The effect of RFE at the same concentration was significantly better than that of RFW.Conclusion,this study found that rose flavonoids had a certain inhibitory effect on proliferation and metastasis of human liver cancer cells HepG2,indicating the application of rose flavonoids in preventing and treating of liver cancer.

In-situ growth of nanowire WO_(2.72) on carbon cloth as a binder-free electrode for flexible asymmetric supercapacitors with high performance

For the first time,WO_(2.72) nanowires were in-situ grown on carbon cloth by a simple solvothermal reaction.The nanowire WO_(2.72)/carbon cloth(NW WO_(2.72)/CC) electrode showed good electrochemical performance with specific capacitance(C_s) reaching up to 398 F g^(-1) at a current density of 2 A g^(-1).The capacitance of 240 F g^(-1) was retained at a high current density of 16 A g^(-1).To further evaluate the energy storage performance,flexible asymmetric supercapacitors(FASC_s) were fabricated using the activated carbon/carbon cloth(AC/CC) as negative electrode and NW WO_(2.72)/CC as positive electrode,respectively.The FASC_s delivered a high energy density of 28 Wh kg^(-1) at a power density of 745 W kg^(-1) and 13 Wh kg^(-1) even at a high power density of 22.5 k W kg^(-1).More impressively,81% of the specific capacitance of the FASC_s was retained after 10,000 cycles,indicating excellent cycle stability.This work indicates the NW WO_(2.72)/CC holds a great potential for application in energy storage devices.

Adsorption and desorption of Cd in reclaimed soil under the influence of humic acid:characteristics and mechanisms

Exogenous humus can change the content and migration activity of cadmium(Cd)in soil.Humic acid(HA)is an important soluble humus component in soil.In order to explore the relationship between cadmium pollution mechanism and ecological environment of humic acid in reclaimed soil,the characteristics of humic acid adsorbing cadmium in alkaline conditions were studied.This study employed reclaimed soil from the Huainan mining area,China.The adsorption and desorption characteristics as well as influence mechanisms on the heavy metal cadmium(Cd)were explored under the influence of HA.The results show that:(1)When Cd concentration was low(0.2–10 mg/L),HA had little effect on Cd adsorption and desorption in reclaimed soil.When the Cd concentration was high(15–80 mg/L),HA had a great influence on the adsorption and desorption of Cd in reclaimed soil.The addition of HA can inhibit the adsorption of Cd by reclaimed soil and effectively improve the desorption capacity of Cd by reclaimed soil.(2)The kinetic curves of Cd adsorption and desorption of reclaimed soil with added HA show that both processes(adsorption and desorption)include two stages:rapid reaction and slow reaction.The adsorption of Cd by reclaimed soil under the influence of HA was 18.18%lower than that of normal reclaimed soil,and the increase of Cd desorption was 50.29%.(3)The factors affecting the adsorption and desorption of Cd in the soil were analyzed with gray theory,and their importance can be ordered as follows:Cd concentration>HA concentration>pH>temperature.Considering the influence of HA,a multi-factor coupling function model of adsorption and desorption of Cd in soil is established.This model provides theoretical guidance for the scientific prediction and evaluation of Cd environmental pollution risks in soil and will be useful for developing a new solution for engineering remediation of high concentration Cd contaminated soil.

Construction of polysulfides defense system for greatly improving the long cycle life of metal sulfide anodes for sodium-ion batteries

Metal sulfides are promising anode materials for sodium ion batteries(SIBs)due to their high theoretical specific capacity and abundant source.Nevertheless,significant challenges,including large volume change,sluggish Na^(+)transport kinetics and polysulfides intermediates,have greatly affect their long cycle stability.Unfortunately,the majority of current studies only focus on the first two aspects,but lack of sufficient attention and insights into the effect of polysulfides intermediates.Here,a porous of CoS_(x)(P-CoS_(x))electrode material is fabricated as an example to investigate the influence of polysulfides on its cycling performance.The results show that polysulfides cause a slight loss of reversible capacity during the battery cycling,while the failure of the battery is due to its significant fluctuations in reversible capacity after extensive cycles.Detailed analyses demonstrate that the intense fluctuation in capacity originates from the faster growth of dendrites caused by the reaction of sodium polysulfides with sodium foil and/or the reaction of elemental sulfur with sodium foil to penetrate the separator,resulting in a local short circuit.To suppress these undesirable side reaction,N,S co-doped porous carbon tubes(N,S-PC)rich in C–S and C–N bonds have been added to adsorb polysulfides and alleviate their reaction with sodium foil.As a result,the capacity of the P-CoS_(x) electrode with N,S-PC(P-CoS_(x)/N,S-PC)remains stable without significant fluctuations for 1000 cycles,which is much better than that of the pure P-CoS_(x) electrode(intense fluctuation in capacity after 320 cycles).Our work offers insights into the crucial influence of polysulfides on the cycle performance of the P-CoS_(x) anode and provides a feasible strategy to prolong the cycle life of metal sulfide anode for SIBs.

Metal–organic framework derived hierarchical porous TiO_2 nanopills as a super stable anode for Na-ion batteries

Hierarchical porous TiO_2 nanopills were synthesized using a titanium metal-organic framework MIL-125(Ti) as precursor. The as-synthesized TiO_2 nanopills owned a large specific surface area of 102 m^2/g and unique porous structure. Furthermore, the obtained TiO_2 nanopills were applied as anode materials for Na-ion batteries for the first time. The as-synthesized TiO_2 nanopills achieved a high discharge capacity of 196.4 m Ah/g at a current density of 0.1 A/g. A discharge capacity of 115.9 m Ah/g was obtained at a high current density of 0.5 A/g and the capacity retention was remained as high as 90% even after 3000 cycles. The excellent electrochemical performance can be attributed to its unique hierarchical porous feature.

Preventing inhomogeneous elemental distribution and phase segregation in mixed Pb-Sn inorganic perovskites via incorporating PbS quantum dots

Inhomogeneous Pb/Sn elemental distribution and the resulted phase segregation in mixed Pb-Sn halide perovskites would result in energy disorder(band structure and phase distribution disorder),which greatly limits their photovoltaic performance.Here,Pb S quantum dot has been synthesized and demonstrated as seeds for modulation crystallization dynamics of the mixed Pb-Sn inorganic perovskites,allowing an enhanced film quality and significantly suppressing phase segregation.With this additive power conversion efficiency of 8%and 6%is obtained under irradiation of full sunlight in planar and mesoporous structured solar cells in combination with CsPb_(0.5) Sn_(0.5)I_(2)Br inorganic perovskite,respectively.Our finding reveals exploring the actual Pb/Sn atoms location in perovskite structure and its influence on developing efficient and stable low-bandgap perovskite solar cells.

含十二烷基二亚丙三胺抗菌洗手液的制备及抗菌性能探究

为了制备含十二烷基二亚丙三胺(DDT)抗菌成分的洗手液,以AES-6501-NaCl、CAB-35-AES-NaCl、丙烯酸-2-丙烯酰胺-2-甲基丙磺酸、6502-NaCl(Na_(2)SO_(4))和聚乙二醇6000双硬脂酸酯(638)系统为研究对象,在这些体系中分别加入等质量分数的DDT,以体系的黏度与透光率为指标,来判断增稠体系与DDT的兼容性强弱。在此基础上,进一步进行单因素试验,优化洗手液的配方,制备出含DDT抗菌成分的洗手液。再对制得的洗手液进行了性能检测,包括稳定性、黏度、活性物含量、pH值、起泡高度及杀菌性能。实验结果表明:除638体系与DDT有一定兼容性外,其余增稠体系兼容性皆较差。制得的含DDT抗菌成分的洗手液各项性能指标均符合国家标准,且该复配洗手液在2 min的作用条件下对大肠杆菌、金黄色葡萄球菌平均杀菌率分别达到97.63%和98.96%。

金钱激励和社交激励对运动行为的促进作用:基于一项在线健身项目的实证研究

鉴于员工身体健康对工作的重要性,很多组织广泛开展健身运动鼓励员工锻炼身体。随着可穿戴设备(例如智能手环)和健身应用(手机健身应用)的广泛使用,越来越多的组织使用在线健身项目形式,员工使用可穿戴设备在线跟踪身体活动来完成健身任务。为了鼓励员工的参与性,在线健身项目通常采用金钱激励或社交激励策略。然而,当这两种类型的激励措施共同使用时,其交互作用却鲜有研究。此外,组织者也缺乏相应的科学知识以设置最佳水平的健身挑战。因此,本研究采用实证研究方法验证金钱激励和社交激励对员工锻炼行为的联合效应。基于国内一所大学在线健身项目的面板数据集,包括2578名参与者在100 d内的日常锻炼记录,本研究发现金钱激励和社交激励之间存在挤出效应——当存在未实现的金钱目标时,社交激励(即,社会支持和社会传染)的影响相对较弱;一旦实现了金钱目标,社交激励的影响将会变强。此外,本研究还发现当动态目标设定在最佳水平时,参与者的锻炼行为将最大化。本研究的结论将为组织者更好地设计在线健身项目提供理论指导。

Development and drought tolerance assay of marker-free transgenic rice with OsAPX2 using biolistic particle-mediated co-transformation

Abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and low temperature cause–losses in rice production worldwide. The emergence of transgenic technology has enabled improvements in the drought resistance of rice plants and helped avert crop damage due to drought stress.Selectable marker genes conferring resistance to antibiotics or herbicides have been widely used to identify genetically modified plants. However, the use of such markers has limited the public acceptance of genetically modified organisms. Marker-free materials (i.e., those containing a single foreign gene) may be more easily accepted by the public and more likely to find common use. In the present study, we created marker-free drought-tolerant transgenic rice plants using particle bombardment. Overall, 842 T_0plants overexpressing the rice ascorbate peroxidase-coding gene OsAPX2 were generated. Eight independentmarker-free lines were identified from T_1 seedlings using the polymerase chain reaction.The molecular characteristics of these lines were examined, including the expression level,copy number, and flanking sequences of OsAPX2, in the T_2 progeny. A simulated drought test using polyethylene glycol and a drought-tolerance test of seedlings confirmed that the marker-free lines carrying OsAPX2 showed significantly improved drought tolerance in seedlings. In the field, the yield of the wild-type plant decreased by 60% under drought conditions compared with normal conditions. However, the transgenic line showed a yield loss of approximately 26%. The results demonstrated that marker-free transgenic lines significantly improved grain yield under drought-stressed conditions.

Unraveling the reaction mechanism of low dose Mn dopant in Ni(OH)_(2) supercapacitor electrode

Mn doping is deemed as a promising strategy to improve the electrochemical performance of the a-Ni(OH)_(2)battery-type supercapacitor electrode.However,the internal structure evolution,the pathways and the dynamics of the proton/intercalated anion migration,as well as the functioning mechanism of Mn dopant to stabilize the layered structure during cycles remain unclear.Here,we unveil that irreversible oxidization of Mn^(3+)at the initial CV cycles,which will remain as Mn^(4+)in the NiO_(2)slabs after the first oxidization to effectively suppress the phase transformation fromα-Ni(OH)_(2)/γ-NiOOH toβ-Ni(OH)_(2)/β-NiOOH and further maintain the structural integrity of electrode.With a synergistic combination of theoretical calculations and various structural probes including XRD and^(2)H MAS solid state NMR,we decode the structure evolution and dynamics in the initial CV(cyclic voltammetry)cycles,including the absorption/desorption of hydrogen containing species,migration of intercalated anions/water molecules and the change of interlayer space.This present work elucidates a close relationship between doping chemistry and structural reliability,paving a novel way of reengineering supercapacitor electrode materials.
