DANIEL BROSNAN: Comparison of Anatase Titania to Titanate Nanotubes in a Thin-Film Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell with Liquid and Solid Electrolyte (Under the direction of Professor Laurie McNeil) In this project, the properties of anatase titanium dioxide and titanate nanotubes were compared with respect to their function as a constituent material for the active layer of a dye-sensitized solar cell...

While much energy storage research focuses on the performance of individual components, such as the electrolyte or a single electrode, few investigate the electrochemical system as a whole. This research reports on the design, composition, and performance of a Zn/MnO2 battery as affected by the manufacturing method and next-generation gel polymer electrolyte composed of the ionic liquid [BMIM][...

The interaction of angiotensin II (ANG II) with membrane was studied by measuring conductance and current-voltage characteristics (IVC) of bilayer lipid membranes (BLM) prepared of a mixture of egg lecithin with cholesterol, and of gramicidin D-modified membranes of the same composition. Addition of physiological concentrations of ANG II (approx. 15 mumol/l) into the electrolyte (1 mol/l KCl, p...

A study is presented on the effect of temperature on unidirectional active ion transport, resting electrolyte equilibrium (electrolyte composition), and oxygen consumption in isolated frog skin. The aims were twofold: first, to find out whether the rate of active transport can be changed without affecting the Na + and K + balance of skin itself; second, to arrive at minlmal ANa/AO2 values by co...

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) characterization for electrochemical processes in Lithium Thionyl Chloride reserve primary battery is shown. Two different electrolyte compositions are used to distinguish the changes EIS response. Galvanostatic at discharge technique obtain Kramers-Kronig compatible data battery. The analyzed by means of Equivalent Circuit models. analysis shows pre...

Abstract The paper discusses the challenges associated with performance of zinc‐ion batteries (ZIBs), such as side reactions that lead to reduced capacity and lifespan. strategies for mitigating in ZIBs, including additives, electrolyte‐electrode interface modification, electrolyte composition optimization, are explored. Combinations these approaches may be necessary achieve best ZIBs. However,...

Grey relational analysis is useful for the multi-input, discrete data and uncertain experimental study. Developed in this paper is the application of the grey relational analysis for optimizing the electropolishing of 316L stainless steel with multiple performance characteristics. The processing parameters (temperature, current density, and electrolyte composition) are optimized with considerat...

IPTME, Loughborough University of Technolom, LEI 1 3TU, UK " 9 7 z777$ __ Abstract P.9 F" Compositionally modulated alloy (CMA) coatings can be synthesised electrochemically The technique is performed by electrodeposition from a plating bath usually containing two different metal ions The alloy modulation is attained through pulsing the voltage or current between two or more pre-optimised level...
