The MIT team reported its initial findings in a preprint posted on bioRxiv , an online preprint server, on March 20
This table makes it clear: the how is just as important as the what
Transmission electron microscopy and BODIPY staining Samples collected from each infection stage were fixed in 2.5% ( v/v ) glutaraldehyde at 4 C overnight, and were washed with 0.1 M phosphate buffer saline (PBS), post-fixed in 1% ( w/v ) osmic acid for 2 h, washed again with 0.1 M PBS, dehydrated sequentially with ethanol gradient, and infiltrated with epoxy
The high performance and excellent stability were attributed to the great surface area, hierarchical porous network, and high porosity of the j-HPC, which allowed rapid ion/electrolyte transport and offered more space for storing Na + and PF 6 ions
