In various examples, an anode, which may be for a metal ion-conducting electrochemical device, comprises a metal member; and a metal conducting coating, which may be an epitaxial (e.g., a homoepitaxial) metal conducing coating, disposed on at least a portion of the metal member (e.g., all portions of the metal member that would be or are in contact with the electrolyte of the metal ion-conducting electrochemical device). A metal conducting coating or an anode may be formed by electrodeposition in the presence of a field.

The present application relates to expanded graphite and exfoliated graphene oxide. More specifically, the present application relates to process for their preparation and uses thereof. The present application includes a process for preparing expanded graphite comprising: mixing graphite with H2SO4/H3PO4 to form a first mixture; adding KMnO4 to the first mixture to form a second and mixture; adding at least one Fe(III) salt to the second mixture under conditions to form a solid graphite-intercalated compound; separating the solid graphite-intercalated compound from the second mixture; and heating the solid graphite-intercalated compound under conditions to provide the expanded graphite. The present application also includes a process for preparing exfoliated graphene oxide comprising: compressing expanded graphite to form a flexible graphite foil; immersing the flexible graphite foil in a solution comprising at least one alkali metal hydroxide and optionally at least one oxidizing agent, and applying voltage under conditions to electrochemically exfoliate the flexible graphite foil to provide the exfoliated graphene oxide.

The invention is a high-throughput voltage screening crystallographic device and methodology that uses multiple micro wells and electric circuits capable of assaying different crystallization condition for the same or different proteins of interest at the same of different voltages under a humidity and temperature controlled environment. The protein is solubilized in a lipid matrix similar to the lipid composition of the protein in the native environment to ensure stability of the protein during crystallization. The invention provides a system and method where the protein is transferred to a lipid matrix that holds a resting membrane potential, which reduces the degree of conformational freedom of the protein. The invention overcomes the majority of the difficulties associated with vapor diffusion techniques and essentially reconstitutes the protein in its native lipid environment under “cuasi” physiological conditions.
