Structural and Electrical Conductivity Studies of Spinel Li4Ti5O12 Anode Thin Films Grown by RF Magnetron Sputtering

Prasad K.H., Arumugam R., Srinadhu E.S., Satyanarayana N., Pondicherry University, IN

All-solid-state rechargeable batteries with high energy density are the most promising energy storage devices for electric vehicles and other portable electronic devices. Among the available energy sources, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are more suitable, since these [...]

Real-time simulation and data analytics for grid-scale energy storage applications in the Southeast

Taube B., Johnson R., Leufkens P., Thompson C., McQuilling A., Southern Research, US

Southern Research, with support from EPRI, the Department of Energy, the State of Alabama and Southeast (SE) regional electric utilities, is developing a new Energy Storage Research and Test Center (ESRC) focused on serving the [...]

Identifying key applications for cost-effective deployment of energy storage systems in the Southeastern United States

Taube B., Leufkens P., Thompson C., McQuilling A., Southern Research, US

At Southern Research, we have developed a framework to identify key attributes of operational deployments in the Southeast, evaluate the economic impact of such deployments, and understand how stacked benefits can enable the cost-effective deployment [...]

Energy Storage Standards Development and Defining Best Practices for System Evaluation

Taube B., Leufkens P., Thompson C., McQuilling A., Southern Research, US

Energy storage systems (ESS) are beginning to be implemented in the Southeastern United States, and their applications and impact on the grid are not have not been characterized or understood in a systematic way. Southern [...]

Ocean Thermal Energy for Abatement of Global CO2 Emissions

Panchal C.B., E3Tec, US

In the past two centuries, fossil fuel supplied by coal, petroleum and natural gas has played a key role in establishing the modern world economy. When the global demand for electricity increased from 8.3 million [...]

Solar Updraft Tower Using Compost Waste Heat and Transpired Solar Collectors

Anderson K., Ang A., Osorio R., California State Polytechnic University at Pomona, US

This paper explores the use of ways to enhance energy production capability in Solar Updraft Towers (SUT) by using compost waste heat (CWH) and transpired solar collectors (TSC) in unison. The SUT is also referred [...]

Enzyme Immobilization on magnetic nanoparticles for enhancing biocatalysis

Liu C., Institute of Process Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, CN

Magnetic nanoparticles have a wide range of applications in catalysis, separation, magnetic resonance imaging and drug delivery. This talk focuses on the synthesis, functionalization and application of magnetic nanoparticles for improving biocatalysis. Great progress in [...]

Nanoporous thin film fabrication via magnetron sputtering and O2 plasma ashing process

Han S.H., Jang S.W., Hwang S., Hwang S.H., Hwang S., Hwang S.H., Korea Institute of Science and Technology, KR

We report a new method of fabricating nanoporous catalytic thin films. In the first step, metal–carbon thin films were prepared by reactive magnetron sputtering, using various metallic targets (Au, Ag, Pt, Cu, Ni, Ti) as [...]

Azide-alkyne cycloaddition by recyclable heterogeneous Cu catalysts on reverse phase silica gel

Jang Y., Kim H., Lim M., Rhee H., Hanyang University, KR

Previously, we developed heterogeneous Pd catalysts immobilized onto functionalized reverse phase silica gel. These catalysts were applied to Suzuki cross coupling reactions and the hydrogenation reactions in water with good results. In this study, Cu [...]

Pd nanoparticles immobilized onto polymer-inorganic hybrid support: Synthesis, characterization and catalytic activity on Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions in water

Lim M., Kim H., Jang Y., Rhee H., Hanyang University, KR

The development of heterogeneous metal catalysts supported on a solid support has attracted attention. This catalyst system has the advantages of ease of catalyst separation and reusability, and has higher reactivity due to the larger [...]
