RESUMEN
Morphology, crystallinity and electrochemical properties of Si powders fabricated by a mechanical milling process with milling time of 6-40 h were investigated by means of FESEM, XRD, Raman, TEM and cell test. Average size of Si powders was reduced to sub-micrometer scale after 10 h-milling and 40 nm-Si powders could be obtained at 48 h-milling. With increasing milling time, Si powders mostly changes from crystalline Si to amorphous one and the content of amorphous Si was increased. TEM result showed that a negligiable amount of crystalline Si remained even after 48 h-milling. Si electrode with 48 h-milled Si powders exhibited the best electrochemical properties in terms of capacity, efficiency and cycle performance: initial capacity of 3025 mAh g(-1), coulrombic efficiency of 79.4% and the capacity retention of 1000 mAh g(-1) (at 130 cycles). The good electrochemical properties of nano- and amorphous-Si are due to the high resistance against volume change and good reversibility of Li ion.
RESUMEN
The rpl3 gene and the rpl37 gene for Aspergillus nidulans ribosomal protein L3 (RPL3) and RPL37, which were identified as located on chromosome I and chromosome III, respectively, were isolated from chromosome-specific cosmid libraries. The nucleotide sequences of both of the rpl3 gene and the rpl37 gene identified the ORFs of 392 amino acids and 92 amino acids, respectively. Both of the two genes were present in a single copy. The expression of both genes together with two other house-keeping genes, the rps16 gene for RPS16 and the gene for gamma-actin, was analyzed during sexual development. All four genes showed nearly identical expression patterns in that each gene expression reached its maximum after 2 h, decreased thereafter, and increased again after 30-40 h of induction of sexual development.
