Polyethylene glycol-mediated genetic transformation and fluorescent labelling of Colletotrichum sublineola for studying sorghum anthracnose pathogenicity

One-step synthesis of Cl-doped Li4Ti5O12 has been achieved by solution method at a low temperature (40 degrees C) during the electrode fabrication process of Li-ion batteries. The Cl-doped Li4Ti5O12 has a higher specific capacity than the pristine Li4Ti5O12. According to the SEM and XRD results, the doping of Cl does not destroy the intrinsic structure of Li4Ti5O12. The specific capacity of Cl-doped Li4Ti5O12 at 0.2 C, 0.5 C, 1 C, and 2 C rates in the range of 1-3 V is 179.0, 160.2, 149.4, and 132.3 mAh g(-1), respectively. Compared with the pristine Li4Ti5O12 material, the specific capacities are increased by 16.2%, 13.5%, 18.1%, and 16.7%, respectively. The CV results show that the Cl-doped Li4Ti5O12 material has a higher lithium ion transport rate compared with the pristine Li4Ti5O12. EIS measurements show that Cl doping can effectively decrease charge transfer impedance and facilitate Li+ ion diffusion. Overall, the Cl-doped Li4Ti5O12 anode material prepared by a solution method has higher ionic conductivity and better electrochemical performance compared with the pristine Li4Ti5O12 anode material.
