The present study describes a novel strategy for preparing thin Silicon 2D and 3D electrodes for lithium ion batteries by a spin coating method. A homogeneous and stable suspension of Si nanoparticles (SiNPs) was prepared by dispersing the nanoparticles in 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) or in the room temperature ionic liquid 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (Pyr14T...

Abstract Electrode materials with high specific surface area (area per volume or weight) and high conductivity are crucial for high power generation in microbial fuel cells (MFCs). In this paper, a novel hollow natural fiber template (kapok) is introduced to serve as the MFC anode. Advanced microscopy sho...

An electrochemistry model was developed to analyse the J-V characteristics of a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) water electrolyser for hydrogen production. The Butler-Volmer equation and water transport characteristics through electrolyte membrane were employed to simulate the electrode activation overpotential and membrane ohmic overpotential, respectively. The modeling results are found to agr...

A procedure was proposed to mimic marine microbial fuel cell (MFC) in liquid phase. A graphite anode and a stainless steel cathode which have been proven, separately, to be efficient in MFC were investigated. A closed anodic compartment was inoculated with sediments, filled with deoxygenated seawater and fed with milk to recover the sediment's sulphide concentration. A stainless steel cathode, ...

The anode electrode material is a crucial factor for the overall performance of a microbial fuel cell (MFC). In this study, a plain carbon paper modified with the CNT/MnO2 nanocomposite was used as the anode for the MFC and a mixed culture inoculum was used as the biocatalyst. The modified anode showed better electrochemical performance than that of plain carbon paper, and Brunauer Emmett Telle...

The purpose of the study is to assess the selectivity of intradural peripheral nerve activation in primates using a multiple contact cuff electrode. The cuff electrode consisted of four platinum contacts and was implanted around ventral nerve root L5 in the cauda equina. A constant current stimulator delivered single biphasic stimulation pulses. Four monopolar (using a surface indifferent anode...

devices originally described by Clark and Bargeron1 in 1959 provide a simple, rapid and reproducible means of detecting and localizing intracardiac shunts. Their clinical application has been well documented in the past five years.25 This paper will describe a modification of the platinum electrode and its application and a modification of the method of hydrogen gas administration. The advantag...

Inorganic solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are nonflammable alternatives to the commercial liquid-phase electrolytes. This enables use of lithium (Li) metal as an anode, providing high-energy density and improved stability by avoiding unwanted chemical reactions. Among different types SSEs, garnet-type witness a rapid development considered one top candidates pair with Li due their high ionic co...

A 3D nitrogen-doped graphene aerogel (N-GA) as an anode material for microbial fuel cells (MFCs) is reported. Electron microscopy images reveal that the N-GA possesses hierarchical porous structure that allows efficient diffusion of both bacterial cells and electron mediators in the interior space of 3D electrode, and thus, the colonization of bacterial communities. Electrochemical impedance sp...
