Abstract: Herein is described a photoelectrode and a rechargeable lithium-ion photobattery comprising the photoelectrode. The photoelectrode comprises a transition metal oxide component and a discrete conductive carbon component. The transition metal oxide component comprises a single transition metal oxide material having an average pore size of at least 5 nm. The discrete conductive carbon component has a thickness of 50 ?m or less. Herein is also disclosed a method of preparing the photoelectrode and the use of said photoelectrode in a photobattery system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to alkaline earth metal carbonate particles comprising a coating of aliphatic carboxylic acids and/or their salts, and their use as fillers in plastic materials or as extenders in offset ink.

Abstract: A composition and method for cleaning metal and for inhibiting corrosion of metal. The composition is composed of an alkaline metal salt, a surfactant, and a corrosion inhibitor with a pH in the range from about 7.5 to less than 10, and is preferably silicate free. The corrosion inhibitor is provided in the form of a combination of a triazole compound and an alkali metal borate. The composition can be employed to clean metal surfaces as an aqueous concentrate or aqueous solution.

Abstract: A metal cleaning composition useful in an aqueous solution comprises an alkali metal salt and a corrosion inhibitor. The corrosion inhibitor is provided in the form of zinc phosphate compounds such as zinc orthophosphate.
