RESUMEN
Electrolyte engineering is a feasible strategy to realize high energy density lithium metal batteries. However, stabilizing both lithium metal anodes and nickel-rich layered cathodes is extremely challenging. To break through this bottleneck, a dual-additives electrolyte containing fluoroethylene carbonate (10 vol.%) and 1-methoxy-2-propylamine (1 vol.%) in conventional LiPF6 -containing carbonate-based electrolyte is reported. The two additives can polymerize and thus generate dense and uniform LiF and Li3 N-containing interphases on both electrodes' surfaces. Such robust ionic conductive interphases not only prevent lithium dendrite formation in lithium metal anode but also suppress stress-corrosion cracking and phase transformation in nickel-rich layered cathode. The advanced electrolyte enables Li||LiNi0.8 Co0.1 Mn0.1 O2 stably cycle for 80 cycles at 60 mA g-1 with a specific discharge capacity retention of 91.2% under harsh conditions.
RESUMEN
The total haemocyte count (THC), phenoloxidase activity, respiratory burst (release of superoxide anion), superoxide dismutase activity, and phagocytic activity and clearance efficiency to the pathogen Lactococcus garvieae were measured when freshwater giant prawns Macrobrachium rosenbergii (16.2 +/- 2.1 g) were individually injected with saline, or dopamine at 0.5, 5.0, or 50.0 pmol prawn(-1). The results show that a transient period of immunosuppression occurred between 2 and 8 h after injection of dopamine for all immune parameters except circulating haemocytes and all immune parameters returned to control values within 8-16 h after receiving dopamine. Injection of dopamine also significantly increased the mortality of M. rosenbergii challenged with the pathogen L. garvieae. These results suggest that stress-inducing dopamine suppresses the immune system, which in turn promotes the susceptibility to L. garvieae in M. rosenbergii.
