In this work, we designed a K_0.5MnO₂@MWCNT@Super P (KMP) composite electrode with P3-type layered structure as the cathode in PIBs through coprecipitation—high temperature sintering method. The SEM results show that the prepared KMP composite electrodes are secondary particles formed by three-dimensional network structures and particles through point–line contact and point–point contact. As a result, the composite electrode with a 7 : 2 : 1 weight ratio of K_0.5MnO₂, conductive carbon (Super-P: MWCNT = 1 : 1) and PVDF delivers a high initial discharge capacity of 112.7 mA h g^–1 at a current density of 20 mA g^–1 and 72.1 mA h g^–1 at 100 mA g^–1. And, it has a capacity retention of 44% at 100 mA g^–1 after 50 cycles. The results show that the unique three-dimensional network structure not only improves the conductivity of K_0.5MnO₂ material, but also effectively alleviates the volume change caused by K⁺ in the charging and discharging process.

It is responsible for the assembly of new viral particles in the infected cell. This process takes place at the plasma membrane of the cell, and is largely regulated by the interactions of Gag with the lipid matrix of the cell membrane. In this work, we used the inner field compensation method and electrokinetic measurements of the zeta potential in a liposome suspension to study the binding of the non-myristoylated HIV Gag polyprotein to model lipid membranes. To quantify the affinity of the protein for charged and uncharged lipid bilayers, Gag adsorption isotherms were constructed and binding constants were calculated. It was shown that the protein is able to interact with both types of membranes with approximately the same intrinsic binding constants (<i>K</i>_PC = 8 × 10⁶ M^–1 and <i>K</i>_PS = 3 × 10⁶ M^–1).

However, its characteristics such as quantum efficiency, morphology, and crystal structure parameters require optimization, which can be achieved by applying the most suitable method for the obtaining of the material. One of the fairly simple methods is the anodic oxidation of silver or its alloys in alkaline media, which allows obtaining oxide phases with a controlled composition and predictable properties by varying the concentration of the alloy components and electrolysis mode. The purpose of this work is to reveal the features of anodic formation and to determine the photoelectrochemical characteristics of silver(I) oxide on silver–palladium alloys in deaerated 0.1 M KOH solution. The regularities of the anodic formation of Ag(I) oxide on alloys of the Ag–Pd-system with the palladium atomic fraction from 0.05 to 0.20 in deaerated 0.1 M KOH solution were studied by non-stationary electrochemical methods of cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry with synchronous recording of photocurrent, and photopotential measurements. The phase composition of the alloys (alpha phase) was determined from the results of X-ray diffractometry. Chemical composition was determined by energy dispersive microanalysis. Photoelectrochemical parameters were calculated from the results of the photocurrent and photopotential measurements.
