3.1 The Cell Membrane – Anatomy & Physiology

Figure 3.1.1 – Phospholipid Structure and Bilayer: A phospholipid molecule consists of a polar phosphate "head," which is hydrophilic and a non-polar lipid "tail," which is hydrophobic. Unsaturated fatty acids result in kinks in the hydrophobic tails. The phospholipid bilayer consists of two adjacent sheets of phospholipids, arranged tail to tail.

A Mediated Li–S Flow Battery for Grid-Scale Energy Storage

Lithium–sulfur is a "beyond-Li-ion" battery chemistry attractive for its high energy density coupled with low-cost sulfur. Expanding to the MWh required for grid scale energy storage, however, requires a different approach for reasons of safety, scalability, and cost. Here we demonstrate the marriage of the redox-targeting scheme to the engineered Li solid electrolyte interphase (SEI ...
