IMPORTANCE OF THE FIELD Conventional metabolism studies in early stages of drug development include in vitro tests, often based on hepatic cells and cell extracts, as well as in vivo tests on the basis of animal models. Complementary to these existing techniques, the electrochemical study of oxidative metabolism reactions is gaining increasing attention. Electrochemistry (EC) allows the fast de...

An acousto-electrochemical technique is presented which, for the first time, offers the potential for measuring the flux of dissolved species in a liquid resulting from bubbles of a specific chosen size in the population. Laboratory trials are presented, but the device itself was damaged in the surf zone and no data was obtained from the ocean deployment. Nevertheless, the preceding laboratory ...

The transfer of chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-grown graphene is the prerequisite for many applications. Herein, we introduce a simple and eco-friendly electrochemical technique to transfer graphene using agarose gel as the solid electrolyte and a mechanical support layer for graphene sheets. This transfer technique will be a perfect candidate for the industrial applications of graphene.

Abstract Electrochemical models play a significant role in today’s rapid development and enhancement of lithium-ion batteries. For instance, they are applied for design process optimization. More recently, model parameter identifiability gaining interest as thorough parameterization is key to reliable simulation results. Especially electrochemical often prone unidentifiability overfitting due t...

Activated carbon (AC) is a useful and environmentally sustainable catalyst for oxygen reduction in air-cathode microbial fuel cells (MFCs), but there is great interest in improving its performance and longevity. To enhance the performance of AC cathodes, carbon black (CB) was added into AC at CB:AC ratios of 0, 2, 5, 10, and 15 wt % to increase electrical conductivity and facilitate electron tr...
