Abstract: A process for producing a lithium titanium phosphate based solid electrolyte material is disclosed, the process comprising the steps of: (i) providing a solution comprising a Li source material, a Ti source material, a P source material and optionally a Si source material and/or a source material of a metal M, wherein M is selected from the group of Al, Ga, Ge, In, Sc, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Fe, Y, the lanthanides or a combination thereof; (ii) generating an aerosol from the solution; (iii) subjecting the generated aerosol to flame pyrolysis to form a particulate precursor material therefrom; and (iv) subjecting the particulate precursor material to field-assisted sintering to form the lithium titanium phosphate based solid electrolyte material. Furthermore, disclosed are a solid electrolyte material obtainable through said production process and articles comprising the same.

Abstract: The invention relates to the electrodialytic production of ammonia and sulfuric acid from ammonium-sulfate-rich (waste) waters. An object of said invention was to provide a process for recovering ammonia and sulfuric acid from waters containing ammonium sulfate in high concentrations. The process should be practicable on an industrial scale and have good energy efficiency. This problem is solved by a combination of electrodialysis and water electrolysis. It results in ammonium sulfate being split back into ammonia and sulfuric acid. Unlike conventional three-chamber processes, the process of the invention employs a cell having only two compartments, which can however be multiply parallelized within the stack. This type of scale-up is much more cost-effective than connecting multiple cells in parallel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of cell lysis for forming at least one pore in the cell wall and/or cell membrane of a cell in an aqueous medium for release of at least one intracellular target protein and/or lipid from the cell into the aqueous medium, including subjecting the cell with the intracellular target protein and/or lipid in the aqueous medium to an electrohydraulic comminution; and separating the target protein and/or lipid from the cell. The electrohydraulic comminution is brought about by a pulse current source. The cell in the aqueous medium is subjected to electrical impulse discharges between at least two electrodes of an underwater radio path of a container at a specific operating voltage, impulse energy, and pulse frequency, and at least one pore is formed in the cell wall and/or cell membrane.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a peptide consisting of a sequence of 5 or 6 to 30, preferably 6 to 12, most preferably 10 to 12 amino acids, wherein (a) at least ?, preferably at least ½ of said amino acids are amino acids having a functional group or a side chain which is positively charged at neutral pH; and (b) at least two amino acids, preferably at least three are histidines.

Abstract: A process can be used for the functionalization of graphene material by mixing graphene material with at least one silane. The functionalized graphene material is useful, for example, in thermoplastics.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a peptide consisting of a sequence of 5 to 30, preferably 6 to 12, most preferably 10 to 12 amino acids, wherein (a) at least ? of said amino acids have a functional group or side chain which is negatively charged at neutral pH; (b) amino acids which do not have a functional group or side chain which is negatively charged at neutral pH, if present, meet one or both of requirements (i) and (ii): (i) none of them has a functional group or side chain which is positively charged at neutral pH; and (ii) at least one of them has a side chain which does not bear a net charge at neutral pH or which has a functional group or side chain that does not bear a net charge at neutral pH.
