Abstract: The invention provides a composite-coated nano-tin negative electrode material, which comprises a tin-based nanomaterial, a nano-copper layer coated on the surface of the tin-based nanomaterial and a conductive protective layer coated on the surface of the nano-copper layer. The nano-copper layer can inhibit the volume expansion of nano-tin, keep the nano-tin material from cracking, avoid direct contact between nano-tin and electrolyte to form stable SRI and increase the conductivity of the electrode. Coating a conductive layer on the surface of the nano-copper layer can effectively inhibit the oxidation of nano-copper, thus improving its electrochemical performance. The composite-coated nano-tin negative electrode material according to the invention is used as a negative electrode material of a lithium-ion battery, has excellent electrochemical performance, and has potential application prospects in portable mobile devices and electric vehicles.

Abstract: Gellan gum products having an increased bulk density are provided that include a gellan gum co-precipitated with a co-precipitation agent to form a co-precipitated gellan composition. The co-precipitation agent and the gellan gum are present in the co-precipitated composition in a weight ratio effective to produce the gellan gum product, in which the gellan gum product bulk density is greater than a bulk density of the gellan gum precipitated, dried, and milled without the co-precipitation agent. This greater bulk density is about 0.30 g/mL or greater. Methods are provided for preparing a gellan gum product having an improved bulk density, in which the gellan gum product bulk density is greater than a bulk density of the gellan gum precipitated, dried, and milled without the co-precipitation agent. This greater bulk density is about 0.30 g/mL or greater.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a degradation rate of an artificial bone in vitro, a degradation method, and an artificial bone are disclosed. The apparatus includes: a variable resistor; and a wearable component, comprising: a metal wire electrically connected in series with the variable resistor and configured to generate an alternating magnetic field; and an insulating textile layer by which the outside of the metal wire is covered.

Abstract: A method for genetic transformation of edible mushrooms is provided relating to the technical field of genetic transformation of Agaricus bisporus, enoki mushroom and shiitake. The disclosed method for genetic transformation of Agaricus bisporus includes: inoculating Agaricus bisporus liquid mycelia into a foxtail-millet-grain culture medium, and pre-culturing them at 20-25° C. until Agaricus bisporus mycelia grow on surfaces of foxtail millet grains. This method uses the foxtail millet grains as an attachment matrix, and during the pre-culturing and co-culturing, the culture substrate is shaken up every day. The method for genetic transformation of enoki mushroom or shiitake includes: inoculation of enoki mushroom mycelia or shiitake mycelia, activated culturing of agrobacterium, and agrobacterium infecting a foxtail millet grain-enoki mushroom mycelium matrix or a foxtail millet grain-shiitake mycelium matrix.
