The results reported here are significant for better understanding and further design of zinc finger targeting compounds.Capacitive deionization (CDI), which is based on ion electrosorption on the surface of electrically charged electrodes, has attracted widespread attention as a novel, cost-effective and environment-friendly desalination technology. Carbon materials are widely used as CDI electrodes due to their high specific surface area (SSA), superior conductivity, and better stability. Many research efforts have been made to further enhance the CDI performance of carbon materials. In this review, the performance-enhancing strategies of various carbon materials including activated carbon, porous carbon, carbon aerogels, carbon nanotubes and graphene are systematically presented. We also explain the significance of the development of CDI technology and identify where further work is urgently required and where challenges are still faced.Formation of composition conserving defects is an inherent feature that appears in compounds for thermoelectric applications during the processes of their fabrication. Different types of such defects including exchange antisite defects, Schottky defects, and triple-, quatro- and penta-defects in TiNiSn are considered. Density functional theory calculations of the energy of formation of these defects are carried out. It is demonstrated that their formation may lead to a significant decrease of the band gap (Eg), simultaneously causing a transformation to p-type or semi-metal conductivity in this material. The role of nanopores is discussed. It is shown that preparing nanoporous compounds may be an efficient way to create p-type TiNiSn, simultaneously decreas
