One-Pot Bottom-Up Synthesis of SiO₂ Quantum Dots and Reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) Nanocomposite as Anode Materials in Lithium-Ion Batteries by Sanjaya Brahma, Cheung-Yi Wang, Yi-Hsuan Huang, Wen-Feng Lin, Jow-Lay Huang

“…Here, crystalline SiO₂ quantum dots (QDs) of 3–5 nm size were grown within the layers of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) by a solution mode chemical growth process at a relatively low temperature (100 °C). The composite was applied as a negative electrode in a Li-ion half-cell battery and the electrochemical investigation confirmed a distinct first-cycle discharge/charge capacity (~865 mAhg⁻¹/387 @ 51 mAg⁻¹). …”

Impacts of Kaolin and Pinoline foliar application on growth, yield and water use efficiency of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) grown under water deficit: A comparative study by Ahmed AbdAllah

“…The results revealed that deficit irrigation (DI) significantly reduced the relative water content of the leaves (RWC), CO2 assimilation rate (P-net), marketable yield, while canopy temperature (CT) and WUE were increased. Results indicated that KPF under DI effectively enhanced the physiological activities and marketable yield production, while reduced sunscald fruits and those with blossom-end rot symptoms (unmarketable yield), particularly under 60%DWA, but it did not compensate the negative effects under 80%DWA. …”

Evaluation of the Comprehensive Effects of Biodegradable Mulch Films on the Soil Hydrothermal Flux, Root Architecture, and Yield of Drip-Irrigated Rice by Zhiwen Song, Guodong Wang, Quanyou Hao, Xin Zhu, Qingyun Tang, Lei Zhao, Qifeng Wu, Yuxiang Li

“…In contrast, BM-B₁ and BM-B₂ exhibited excessively rapid degradation rates, leading to significant fluctuations in soil moisture and temperature, thereby negatively affecting water supply and nutrient uptake and ultimately restricting root growth and development. (3) The entropy weight (EW) technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) model results revealed that although the PM treatment was more advantageous in terms of soil temperature, root dry weight, and soil moisture content, BM-B₃ provided a slightly higher yield than the PM treatment did and offered the advantage of biodegradability, making it a preferred alternative to conventional mulch film. …”
