A Small Printed Quadrifilar Helical Antenna for BGAN/GPS Applications

This paper presents an element of a 2×2-element array antenna for Inmarsat BGAN/GPS applications. The element is an axial mode printed quadrifilar helical antenna that has been integrated with a compact feed network to provide sequential phase rotation for circular polarization (CP) radiation. The novel integrated lumped-element feed network is designed to provide a balanced RF power to the fou...

Structurally tailored graphene nanosheets as lithium ion battery anodes: an insight to yield exceptionally high lithium storage performance.

How to tune graphene nanosheets (GNSs) with various morphologies has been a significant challenge for lithium ion batteries (LIBs). In this study, three types of GNSs with varying size, edge sites, defects and layer numbers have been successfully achieved. It was demonstrated that controlling GNS morphology and microstructure has important effects on its cyclic performance and rate capability i...

Studies of Modified Hydrogen Storage Intermetallic Compounds Used as Fuel Cell Anodes

The possibility of substituting Pt/C with the hydrogen storage alloy MlNi3.6Co0.85Al0.3Mn0.3 as the anode active material of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell system has been analyzed. The electrochemical properties indicate that a much more electrochemically active anode is obtained by impregnating the active material loaded anode in a Nafion proton conducting polymer. Such performance impr...

Structured Silicon Anodes for Lithium Battery Applications

Pillar arrays fabricated on silicon substrates have been tested as potential anodes for lithium batteries. Electrodes of array characteristics, diameter 580 6 150 nm; fractional surface coverage 0.34; height 810 nm are reported here. Cyclic voltammetry ~CV! and cyclic galvanostatic tests of alloying/dealloying of electrochemically produced lithium with silicon were carried out, and results corr...
