The subject of this work is the study of the electrochemical promotion of catalysis (EPOC), also called non-Faradaic electrochemical modification of catalytic activity (NEMCA). In this phenomenon, application of small currents or potentials on catalysts in ...
A method to create an array of sub-5 nm nanogaps with self-aligned holes in a protective polymer overlayer is presented. The parallel formation of the nanogaps, intended for electrical sensing of biomolecules in an aqueous environment, is achieved by elect ...
A device for monitoring the adsorption of target molecules on a substrate, the device comprising a substrate (1), at least a portion of which is formed as a thin dielectric layer. A first, modified surface (2) of the layer has ionizable groups of the subst ...
A planar solid oxide fuel cell repeating unit, 50 cm2 in total active electrode size, consisting of an anode supported electrolyte cell bearing two 7 mm holes for fuel and air injection, and contacted to two dense metal current collector plates ...
The use of nanowire crossbars to build devices with large storage capabilities is a very promising architectural paradigm for forthcoming nanoscale memory devices. However, this new type of memory devices raises questions regarding how to test their correc ...
Using petrol as a main source of energy, during the 20th century, has caused considerable amounts of damage among which are atmospheric pollution and global warming. At the same time, many geologists and economists expect that the discovery rate of new pet ...
A method for the fabrication of metallic nanoparticles in large quantities by electrochemical discharges is presented. In an aqueous electrolyte, large current density (similar to 1 A/mm(2) at similar to 20 V) leads to the formation of a 'gas film' around ...
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 ...
A novel catalytic reactor with dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) at atmospheric pressure was developed for the abatement of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The novelty of DBD reactor is the metallic catalyst serving also as the inner electrode. The cat ...
This paper describes the working principle of a DC magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) micropump that can be operated at high DC current densities (J) in 75-μm-deep microfluidic channels without introducing gas bubbles into the pumping channel. The main design featu ...
