Abstract: The present disclosure is generally related to modified filamentous fungal strains (cells) comprising enhanced protein productivity phenotypes, wherein such modified strains are particularly well-suited for growth in submerged cultures (e.g., large-scale production of proteins for industrial/commercial applications). Thus, certain embodiments of the disclosure are related to such variant (modified) strains of filamentous fungus derived (obtained) from parental strains comprising a gene encoding a native GEF1 protein, wherein the variant strain comprises a genetic modification which disrupts or deletes a gene encoding a native GEF1 protein, wherein the variant strain comprises an increased protein productivity phenotype (i.e., relative to the parental strain) when grown/cultivated/fermented under the same conditions.

Abstract: A method for producing a membrane electrode comprises a thermal transfer printing step, a thermal combining step, a carbon paper attaching step and a hot-pressing step. The invention realizes the continuous automatic production of the membrane electrode and improves the production efficiency and the quality of the membrane electrode.

Abstract: In the technical field of lithium ion batteries, disclosed is a wet synthesis method of a high-nickel NCMA quaternary precursor. The method includes synthesizing solid tiny crystal nuclei of the NCMA quaternary precursor in a first reactor, and prompting the crystal nuclei of the quaternary precursor to grow to a certain particle size in a second reactor, wherein in the first reactor, an upper feeding mode is used to continuously produce the solid tiny crystal nuclei of the NCMA quaternary precursor. In the second reactor, an upper-and-lower dual feeding mode is used to prompt the continuous growth of the solid tiny crystal nuclei of the NCMA quaternary precursor. During a washing process, the NCMA quaternary precursor is washed with a mixed alkali solution of sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide at certain concentration, so that Na can be reduced below 50 ppm and sulfur can be reduced below 800 ppm.

Abstract: The present invention provides a simple, non-destructive and versatile method that enables layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly to be performed on virtually any substrate. A novel catechol-functionalized polymer which adsorbs to virtually all surfaces and can serve as a platform for LbL assembly in a surface-independent fashion is also provided.
