Abstract: An electrode for use in a device such as a secondary battery may include a first layer having first active particles adhered together by a binder, a second layer having second active particles adhered together by a binder, and an interphase layer interposed between the first and second layers. In some examples, the interphase layer may include an interpenetration of the first and second particles, such that substantially discrete fingers of the first layer interlock with substantially discrete fingers of the second layer.

Abstract: The present invention provides additive manufacturing methods of forming multilayer energy storage devices on a surface by formulating all components of the multilayer energy storage device into liquid compositions and: (1) applying a first liquid current collector composition above the surface to form a first current collector layer above the surface; (2) applying a first liquid electrode composition above the first current collector layer to form a first electrode layer above the first current collector layer; (3) applying a liquid electrically insulating composition above the first electrode layer to form an electrically insulating layer above the first electrode layer; (4) applying a second liquid electrode composition above the electrically insulating layer to form a second electrode layer above the electrically insulating layer; and (5) applying a second liquid current collector composition above the second electrode layer to form a second current collector layer above the second electrode layer.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel beta glucosidase and a process for extraction of a beta-glucosidase from Rauvolfia serpentine useful for the cleaving of beta-1,4 linkage of PNPG and to convert other gluco-conjugates such as strictosidine and raucaffricine into their corresponding aglycon such as vomilenine, commercially through immobilizing the enzyme. The ? glucosidase enzyme has shown maximum activity in the acid pH range, with high optimum temperature using PNPG as substrate. The crude enzyme, when stored at 4° C., was quite stable for 6 days with 50% loss of activity. The enzyme was activated in presence of FeSO4 in the assay mixture.
