Fuel Cells are electrochemical devices that are able to directly convert chemical energy to electrical energy, without any Carnot limitation. Hence, their energy efficiencies are relatively high. Among the various types of fuel cells, solid oxide fuel cell ...
The catalytic activity for the gas phase combustion of ethylene of an IrO2 film, used as electrode in a solid electrolyte cell, can be increased by polarizing the metal-solid electrolyte interface. The catalytic activity remains higher even after current i ...
Capacitors in metal-insulator-metal structure have been fabricated with different bottom electrodes. It has been found that the observed losses are enormous at gigahertz frequencies unless due care is taken not only for the conductivity of the bottom elect ...
The electrochemical promotion of heterogeneous catalytic reactions is a new development which draws the attention of the scientific community as much to fundamental research as to the possible direct applications of this phenomenon in automotive and in ind ...
Recent progress made in our lab. in the field of electrochem. promotion of heterogeneous catalytic gas reactions is reviewed. The phenomenon consists of electrochem. polarization of the catalyst/solid electrolyte interface resulting in a dramatic, non-Fara ...
A simple and reliable method which allows one to distinguish between the two major microscopic scenarios for the suppression of the switching polarization (P-r(s)), i.e., pinning of ferroelectric domain walls (DWs) through the Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 film (PZT) (bulk ...
Perovskite derived Ni catalysts offer the remarkable benefit of regeneration after catalyst poisoning or Ni particle growth through the reversible segregation of Ni from the perovskite-type oxide host. Although this property allows for repeated catalyst re ...
The perovskite-type mixed oxide La0.3Sr0.55Ti0.95Ni0.05O3−δ (LSTN) is demonstrated to exhibit the remarkable property of structural regeneration, where Ni can be reversibly exsoluted from the host perovskite lattice resulting in a regenerable Ni catalyst f ...
