Ni-rich positive electrodes for Li-ion batteries can provide enhanced initial discharge capacity yet suffer from significant degradation upon cycling. Fluorination of NMC811 results in a retention more than 90% after 100 cycles cycling to 4.4 VLi. The increased stability F-modified be attributed the modification oxide electronic structures, where density functional theory calculations shows tha...

In chemical analysis and electrochemical catalysis modified electrodes have been used in a wide range. In addition to the several methods of electrode modification reported in literature, the sol-gel route offers a possibility of preparing ceramic like films under rather mild conditions. This enhances the possibility of incorporation of temperature sensitive particles such as enzymes, microorga...

The use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for energy harvesting devices is preferable due to their unique mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. On the other hand, microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are promising devices to recover carbon-neutral energy from the organic matters, and have been hindered with major setbacks towards commercialization. Nanoengineered CNT-based materials show remarkable e...

The material balance used previously in one-dimensional mathematical models of porous electrodes is invalid when there is a nonzero volume change associated with the reaction. It is shown here how the material balance should be modified either to account for a loss in volume, or to account for an inflow of electrolyte from the header into the active pores. A one-dimensional mathematical model i...

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a pivotal role in various industrial applications [1]. It is an essential mediator in pharmaceutical, clinical, and environmental research. In addition, it is a byproduct of highly selective oxidases and an important contaminant in several industrial products and wastes [2]. Therefore, a reliable and economical method for the determination of H2O2 is of great sign...
