We review herein several important aspects of surface chemistry in Li-ion batteries, and discuss the use of ionic liquids (ILs) for rechargeable Li batteries. We explored the suitability of ILs for 5 V cathodes and Li-graphite anodes. Some advantages of th ...
Modeling a vanadium redox flow battery (VRB) is intrinsically a multiphysics task based on electrochemistry and fluid mechanics. The electrochemical model predicts the stack voltage and determines the internal losses and the vanadium concentrations within ...

Environmental energy is becoming a feasible alternative for many low-power systems, such as wireless sensor nodes. Designing an environmentally powered device faces several challenges: choosing the exact type of the energy harvester, the energy storage ele ...
Scooters are a well-established transport system for short distances – particularly within cities. Currently, the majority of scooters are petrol powered. Their engines typically exhibit bad efficiencies and thus contribute to global warming by CO2 product ...
Tuning of the catalytic reaction rate by electric polarization of the interface between an electron conducting catalyst and an ion conducting support, called electrochemical promotion of catalysis (EPOC), is most often fully reversible. Its state-of-the-ar ...
uel cell based systems are a promising alternative to batteries in man-portable power generation applications. These micro power generation processes must operate fully autonomously and automatically without the intervention of operators. Operational consi ...
This paper reports on medium term tests of anode-supported five-cell short stacks, as well as on some separate anode development. Two stacks were operated under steady-state conditions: one with unprotected metal interconnects, H2 fuel and 0.35Acm−2 (40% f ...
Microsystem technologies (MST) have become the basis of a large industry. The advantages of MST compared to other technologies provide opportunities for application in implantable biomedical devices. This paper presents a general and broad literature revie ...
Ultracapacitors, also called electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLC) or supercapacitors, may improve the performance of conventional electrolytic capacitors in terms of specific energy, or improve the performance of rechargeable batteries in terms o ...
Pyroelectric sensor has each pixel's secondary electrode made with no contact with other secondary electrodes. The pyroelectric sensor consists of a series of pixels (12A) with primary (14) and secondary (28) electrodes on opposite surfaces of a thin porou ...
