There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Full Summary:

No summary paragraph submitted.

Self-polymerized dopamine is a versatile coating material that has various oxygen and nitrogen functional groups. In a recent publication, the Energy Storage and Conversion Laboratory, led by Assistant Professor Seung Woo Lee,  demonstrated the redox-active properties of self-polymerized dopamine on the surface of few-walled carbon nanotubes (FWNTs), which can be used as organic cathode materials for both Li- and Na-ion batteries. The hybrid electrodes produced by the team exhibited a high rate-performance and excellent cycling stability, suggesting that self-polymerized dopamine is a promising cathode material for organic rechargeable batteries.
