Towards airflow sensors with energy harvesting and wireless transmitting properties
Volume 9, Issue 5 , May 2018, Pages 311-319
Abstract
The rapidly growing demand for even more detailed low-cost measurements of weather and environmental conditions, including wind flow, asks for self-sustained energy solutions that eliminate the need for external recharge or replacement of batteries. Today’s wind measurement market is ... Read More)
Investigation of new antifrictional/frictional nanocomposites based on PTFE matrix filled with Fe-doped carbon nanoparticles
Volume 9, Issue 5 , May 2018, Pages 320-325
Abstract
The present work is dealing with the study of a nano-compositional material which was obtained on the basis of PTFE with 2.5÷10wt% of core-shell type Fe-doped carbon nano-tubes and carbon nano-particles as fillers. The PTFE samples without the fillers were prepared too. Weight wear, friction coefficient ... Read More)
Preparation of polymer nano-photocatalysts by using triton X-100 to improve performance of photocatalytic hydrogen generation
Volume 9, Issue 5 , May 2018, Pages 326-330
Abstract
Organic semiconducting polymer nano-particles, as nano-photocatalysts for light driven proton reduction, have been prepared by using Triton X-100 as surfactant. The nano-photocatalysts prepared by Triton X-100 showed well dispersibility in water and no precipitation observed after photocatalysis. The ... Read More)
Phosphorus/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite for high-performance anode of sodium-ion batteries
Volume 9, Issue 5 , May 2018, Pages 331-335
Abstract
The red phosphorus is considered as a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to its high theoretical capacity of 2596 mAh/g. However, red phosphorus suffers from some limitations, such as low electronic conductivity, and huge volume expansion in the process of discharging. Herein, ... Read More)
Recent advances in lithium-air batteries
Volume 9, Issue 5 , May 2018, Pages 336-344
Abstract
Lithium (Li)-ion batteries will play a key role in the electrification of transport, including electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). However, the present energy storage of Li-ion batteries cannot meet the requirements of transportation in terms of driving range and safety. ... Read More)
Fabrication and magnetic properties of Sol-Gel derived NiZn ferrite thin films for microwave applications
Volume 9, Issue 5 , May 2018, Pages 345-352
Abstract
We present a new solution-phase, sol-gel based spin-coating method to fabricating high quality, nickel zinc ferrite (NZFO) thin films. The effect of annealing temperature on the microstructure, static magnetic properties and X-band FMR linewidth and resonance field was investigated. Furthermore, the ... Read More)
Symmetrical and unsymmetrical squaraine sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells: present day advances and future challenges
Volume 9, Issue 5 , May 2018, Pages 353-362
Abstract
The requirement for energy is ever increasing in the past few years due to the need for the innovation of clean energy and eco-friendly technologies. Symmetric and asymmetric squaraine dyes have received increasing attention and great potential for use as squaraine sensitizers for application in dye-sensitized ... Read More)
Effect of electrode material on piezoelectric output of PVDF sensor with electrospun nanofiber web
Volume 9, Issue 5 , May 2018, Pages 363-368
Abstract
The electrospun PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) nanofiber web is commonly agreed on a kind of new sensitive materials for the sensor testing the dynamic pressure and energy harvesting, and has the characteristics of fast response and high sensitivity of pressure. As a result of the nanofiber web, it must ... Read More)
A sensitive electrochemical aptasensor based on single wall carbon nanotube modified screen printed electrode for detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7
Volume 9, Issue 5 , May 2018, Pages 369-374
Abstract
Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E.coli O157:H7), is an extremely infectious and potentially fatal water and food-borne pathogen, responsible for numerous hospitalisations and deaths all over the world. Herein we reported the development of simple and label-free electrochemical aptasensor based on single wall ... Read More)
Isothermal aging characteristics of rare earth magnesium hexaaluminate based advanced thermal barrier coatings
Volume 9, Issue 5 , May 2018, Pages 375-382
Abstract
The isothermal aging characteristics of rare earth magnesium hexaaluminate (REMHA) based thermal barrier coatings (TBC) such as lanthanum magnesium hexaaluminates (LMHA), Neodymium doped LMHA (LNMHA) and LNMHA-Yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG) composite were evaluated at 1400 °C and compared with standard ...
