AbstractThe degradation of metal interconnects (ICs) in Solid Oxide Cells (SOCs) primarily results from chromium (Cr) oxide scale growth on stainless-steel substrates, causing ohmic loss and air-side electrode poisoning by Cr. This thesis addresses these c ...
This contribution presents an isotropic magnetic field probe with shaped frequency response in the band 100 kHz - 400 MHz to ponder the aggregate response according to the ICNIRP 2020 guidelines. The basic sensor is a printed loop which is modelled as a Th ...
The solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is a key component of a lithium-ion battery forming during the first few dischage/charge cycles at the interface between the anode and the electrolyte. The SEI passivates the anode-electrolyte interface by inhibiting ...
Fast and uniform ion transport within the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is considered a crucial factor for ensuring the long-term stability of metal electrodes. In this study, we present the fabrication of ultrathin artificial interphases consisting o ...
Aqueous zinc metal batteries with mild acidic electrolytes are considered promising candidates for large-scale energy storage. However, the Zn anode suffers from severe Zn dendrite growth and side reactions due to the unstable interfacial pH and the absenc ...
Modeling photoelectric effects in semiconductors with electrical simulators is demonstrated in typical 1-D and 2-D architectures. The concept is based on a coarse meshing of the semiconductor with the so-called generalized lumped devices, where equivalent ...
A lightweight, textile fabricated, haptic device consisting of an electrostatic adhesive clutch is introduced, which can constrain body movement when activated at low power (≈1 mW). The clutch electrodes are composite structures, prepared by coating copper ...
Traditionally, the safe operation of a battery energy storage system (BESS) is achieved by imposing conservative constraints on its DC bus current and voltage. By using a computationally efficient single particle model (SPM), we propose to replace these co ...
We present a fully integrated energy reservoir unit using a counter flow method for peak power delivery in space-constrained sensor systems. Recent advances in circuits have enabled significant reduction in the size of wireless systems such as implantable ...
Recent advances in circuits have enabled significant reduction in the size of wireless systems such as implantable biomedical devices. As a consequence, the battery integrated in these systems has also shrunk, resulting in high internal resistances (~10kΩ) ...
