A symmetric micro-supercapacitor is constructed by electrochemically depositing manganese oxide onto micro-patterned current collectors. High surface-to-volume ratio of manganese oxide and short diffusion distance between electrodes give an ultra-high areal capacitance of 56.3 mF cm(-2) at a current density of 27.2 μA cm(-2).

In the present study, cobalt sulphide was successfully synthesised via a simple, one-step hydrothermal route. The material has been characterised infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, electron microscopy (FESEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). FTIR spectrum reveals peak at 1126 cm-1, which corresponds to S-O bending mode, 663 represents stretching. According XRD analysis, formed with CoS1.097 configurati...

Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a promising desalination technology, which operates at low pressure, low temperature, requires little infrastructure, and has the potential to consume less energy for brackish water desalination. However, CDI devices consume significantly more energy than the theoretical thermodynamic minimum, and this is at least partly due to resistive power dissipation. We he...

BACKGROUND Domestication is an important and contested concept. Insects are used as food worldwide, and while some have been described as domesticated and even 'semi-domesticated', the assumptions and implications of this designation are not clear. The purpose of this paper is to explore these aspects of insect domestication, and broader debates in domestication studies, through the case of edi...

DOI: 10.1002/aenm.201400753 techniques. This is due to the heavy weight of the metal current collectors and the use of binders. [ 1,2 ] To improve the overall specifi c capacity of an electrode, high capacity active materials and light-weight current collectors should be used. With ten times higher theoretical capacity, abundance, non-toxicity, and low cost, Si has attracted extensive attention...

Automatic memory management techniques eliminate many programming errors that are both hard to find and to correct. However, these techniques are not yet used in embedded systems with hard realtime applications. The reason is that current methods for automatic memory management have a number of drawbacks. The two major ones are: (1) not being able to always guarantee short real-time deadlines a...
