Can Environmental Toxins Cause Obesity In Children? on PNN

Can Environmental Toxins Cause Obesity In Children?: "I get a little skeptical about medical studies sometimes. Maybe you do, too. You’ll hear that some food or other is not good for you, then a few months later, another one disproving it, and so on, until you don’t know what to believe. Pretty often, if you look at who’s funding the study (For example, “milk is good for you” says a study funded by the American Dairy Association), you’ll get your answer. So when a study comes along that doesn’t have that “smell” about it, my little ears perk up."

Electrodeposition and electrochemical properties of novel ternary tin-cobalt-phosphorus alloy electrodes for

Scopus : "Porous Sn-Co-P alloy with reticular structure were prepared by electroplating using copper foam as current collector. The structure and electrochemical performance of the electroplated porous Sn-Co-P alloy electrodes were investigated in detail. 

Experimental results illustrated that the porous Sn-Co-P alloy consists of mainly SnP0.94 phase with a minor quantity of Sn and Co3Sn2. Galvanostatic charge-discharge tests of porous Sn-Co-P alloy electrodes confirmed its excellent performances: at 50th charge-discharge cycle, the discharge specific capacity is 503 mAh g-1 and the columbic efficiency is as high as 99%. It has revealed that the porous and multi-phase composite structure of the alloy can restrain the pulverization of electrode in charge/discharge cycles, and accommodate partly the volume expansion and phase transition, resulting in good cycleability of the electrode"
