    Using 2917 pb1\rm{pb}^{-1} of data accumulated at 3.773~GeV\rm{GeV}, 44.5~pb1\rm{pb}^{-1} of data accumulated at 3.65~GeV\rm{GeV} and data accumulated during a ψ(3770)\psi(3770) line-shape scan with the BESIII detector, the reaction e+eppˉe^+e^-\rightarrow p\bar{p} is studied considering a possible interference between resonant and continuum amplitudes. The cross section of e+eψ(3770)ppˉe^+e^-\rightarrow\psi(3770)\rightarrow p\bar{p}, σ(e+eψ(3770)ppˉ)\sigma(e^+e^-\rightarrow\psi(3770)\rightarrow p\bar{p}), is found to have two solutions, determined to be (0.059±0.032±0.0120.059\pm0.032\pm0.012) pb with the phase angle ϕ=(255.8±37.9±4.8)\phi = (255.8\pm37.9\pm4.8)^\circ (<<0.11 pb at the 90% confidence level), or σ(e+eψ(3770)ppˉ)=(2.57±0.12±0.12\sigma(e^+e^-\rightarrow\psi(3770)\rightarrow p\bar{p}) = (2.57\pm0.12\pm0.12) pb with ϕ=(266.9±6.1±0.9)\phi = (266.9\pm6.1\pm0.9)^\circ both of which agree with a destructive interference. Using the obtained cross section of ψ(3770)ppˉ\psi(3770)\rightarrow p\bar{p}, the cross section of ppˉψ(3770)p\bar{p}\rightarrow \psi(3770), which is useful information for the future PANDA experiment, is estimated to be either (9.8±5.79.8\pm5.7) nb (<17.2<17.2 nb at 90% C.L.) or (425.6±42.9)(425.6\pm42.9) nb

    © 2016 The Electrochemical Society. Inorganic-organic nanostructured hybrid membranes based on polyethersulfone (PES)-polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) were prepared with mesoporous silica materials. All the hybrid membranes showed the similar phosphoric acid (PA) uptake. However, the proton conductivity of the PA-PES-PVP membrane was significantly increased after the addition of the inorganic fillers, especially for the amino-functionalized hollow mesoporous silica (NH2-HMS). The cell performance test also confirmed the superiority of the PES-PVP membranes with the inorganic fillers. The highest peak power density at 180 oC reached up to 480 mW cm-2 for the NH2-HMS based composite membrane fuel cell, which is 92.7 % higher than that of the PA-PES-PVP membrane fuel cell at the identical condition. The outstanding performance of the inorganic-organic hybrid membranes might be due to the facilitated proton transportation in the ordered mesoporous channels, and the great water retention of the inorganic fillers
