Stainless steel based dye solar cells have been upscaled from small, laboratory size test cells of 0.32 cm2 active area to 6 cm x 6 cm "mini-modules" with active areas ca. 15 cm2. Stainless steel works as the photoelectrode substrate whilst the counter electrode is prepared on indium-doped tin oxide coated polyethyleneterephtalate or polyethylenenaphtalate plastic foil (fluorine-doped tin oxide...

RAPOPORT, STANLEY I., AND WADE H. MARSHALL. Measurement of cortical pH in spreading cortical depression. Am. J. Physiol. 206(5) : I 177-1180. 1g64.-The pH of the rabbit cortex was measured during the course of spreading cortical depression. Spreading cortical depression was elicited by chemical (group I) and by electrical (group II) means. Cortical d-c potential changes were recorded separately...

A miniature Clark-type oxygen sensor has been integrated with a microstructure using a novel fabrication technique. The oxygen chip consists of a glass substrate with a three-electrode configuration, which is separated and connected by a groove, and a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) container with an immobilized PDMS oxygen-permeable membrane. The assembly of the different substrates only uses th...

Two challenges for improving the performance of air cathode, single-chamber microbial fuel cells (MFCs) include increasing Coulombic efficiency (CE) and decreasing internal resistance. Nonbiodegradable glass fiber separators between the two electrodes were shown to increase power and CE, compared to cloth separators (J-cloth) that were degraded over time. MFC tests were conducted using glass fi...

The impedance measurement between a pair of flush-mounted electrodes was used to measure the characteristics of a stratified near-wall bubbly flow. The variation in cross electrode impedance with liquid layer thickness and mixture void fraction was examined using numerical simulations and static experiments. The experimental realization of the measurement system was used to measure the solid fr...

A PVC membrane Fe(III) ion selective electrode has been constructed using a new macrocyclic asmembrane carrier.The electrode exhibits a good potentiometric response for Fe(III) over a wideconcentration range 1.0×10-4 to 1.0×10-1M with a slope 19.4±0.5 mV/decade a and a working pHrange of 6.5-9.0. It has a fast response time ≤30s.The best performance was observed with themembrance having the 30....

A PVC ion-selective membrane electrode based on Cd-tetraphenyl porphyrine as a carrier was prepared fordetermination of MnO4- ion. This electrode revealed good selectivity toward permanganate ion over a widevariety of anions. Effects of some experimental parameters such as nature of the plasticizer, the amounts ofcarrier and additive, and concentration of the internal solution on the potential ...
