Gigahertz to terahertz radiation sources based on cold-cathode vacuum electron technology are pursued, because its unique characteristics of instant switch-on and power saving are important to military and space applications. Gigahertz gyrotron was reported using carbon nanotube (CNT) cold-cathode. It is reported here in first time that a fully-sealed CNT cold-cathode 0.22 THz-gyrotron is reali...

Developing cheap electrocatalysts for cathodic oxygen reduction in neutral medium is a key factor for practical applications of microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Natural hematite was investigated as a low-cost cathode to improve the performance of microbial fuel cells (MFCs). With hematite-coated cathode, the cell current density stabilized at 330.66 ± 3.1 mA·m−2 (with a 1000 Ω load) over 10 days un...

5-aminosalicylic acid (5-asa) is currently prepared by electrochemical reduction of 5-nitrosalicylic acid (5-nsa) in acidic media. in this work, electrolytic reduction of 5-nsa in alkaline media is presented. reactionconditions and parameters such as anode and cathode electrodes, electrolyte type, reaction time, temperature,current, and the ph for isolation of product are investigated. the yiel...

LiMn2O4 spinel cathode materials have been successfully synthesized by solid-state reaction. Surface of these particles were modified by nanostructured LiFePO4 via sol gel dip coating method. Synthesized products were characterized by thermally analyzed by Thermogravimetric and Differential Thermal Analysis(TG/DTA), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron...

The aim of the present work is to introduce a high performance cathode for magnesium-ion batteries. A simple ball mill process is employed to synthesize (V2O5)1−x (Graphene Nanoplatelets (GNP))x nanocomposite, (where x = 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 wt.% GNP). The synthesized samples are characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique, impedance spectroscopy...

LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 nanorods wrapped with graphene nanosheets have been prepared and investigated as high energy and high power cathode material for lithium-ion batteries. The structural characterization by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy indicates the LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 nanorods prepared from β-MnO2 nanowires have ordered spinel structure with P4332 sp...
