Effects of the Addition of TiO2 Nanoparticles for Polymer Electrolytes Based on Porous Poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene)/Poly(ethylene oxide-co-ethylene carbonate) Membranes
In order to ameliorate the performance of polymer electrolytes, we report on a novel solvent-free polymer electrolyte filled with viscous poly(ethylene oxide-co-ethylene carbonate) (P(EO-EC)) into a porous membrane. In addition, to enhance the conductivity and [...]
Supported Mixed Metal Nanoparticles and PFA-Nafion Nanocomposite Membrane for Low Temperature Fuel Cells
Chan K-Y, Ren J.W., Liu J., Wang H.T., Ding J., Tsang K.Y., Lee T.J., The University of Hong Kong, HK
Performance of low temperature fuel cells depends critically on the nanostructures of the material components in the electrodes and membranes. Some studies are reported here for 1) mixed metal nanoparticles supported on mesoporous carbon and [...]
Nano Architecture MEA for Next Generation Fuel Cell
The Schneider-Picard (SP) method for industrial monolayer and ultra-thin film deposition has shown a great effectiveness for the production with nano scale architecture for fuel cell Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA). Today, MEA's are built in [...]
Viscoelastic Relaxation and Molecular Mobility of Hyperbranched Poly(epsilon-caprolactone)s in Their Melt State
The dynamic viscoelastic relaxation behavior and the molecular mobility of hyperbranched poly(epsilon-caprolactone)s (HPCLs) possessing the molecular architectural variation and their linear counterpart, linear poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (LPCL), were characterized and evaluated in conjunction with their specific molecular [...]
Synthesis and Characterization of a Series of Star-Branched Poly(epsilon-caprolactone)s with Nanoscale Molecular Architectural Variation
In this study, a series of star-branched poly(epsilon-caprolactone)s (SPCLs) was synthesized with nanoscale molecular architectural variation in arm numbers and lengths by ring-opening polymerization under bulk condition. Arm numbers were varied to be 3, 4, [...]
Synthesis and Characterization of Nanostructured Undoped/Doped CuO Films and their Application in Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting
Metal oxide semiconductors are the most promising materials for photoelectrochemical production of hydrogen on account of a) easy availability, b) low cost, c) simple preparation methods and d) stability. The nanostructured metal oxides are in [...]
Color-Masked and Nano-Size Catalysts Embedded in Polymers for Reducing Dioxin Emission
People have begun to make polymer containing catalysts for dioxin decomposition. To make high functional polymer containing catalysts for dioxin decomposition, catalysts have very small size and are colorless for their various application. The objectives [...]
Microchannel Reactor Stacked by Brazing Method
Yu S.P., Lee S.J., Lee W.Y., Kim C.S., Lee S.J., Lee W.Y., Song K.S., Korea Institute of Energy Research, KR
Each stack of microstructured stainless steel and aluminum plates was coated and brazed in vacuum. As a supporter of catalyst, the coating layer was formed by sol-gel method and anodizing respectively. Though the number of [...]
Diamond Growth on an Array of Seeds: The Revolution of Diamond Production
Industrial diamond production was pioneered by General Electric Company of U. S. in 1957 and followed by De Beers of S. Africa in 1961. The two companies optimized the production of diamond grits by heating [...]
Novel Magnetic Separable Nano-Carriers For Chemical Catalysis & Bio-Catalysis
Tsanga S.C., Tamb K., Gaoa X., Yua C.H., Yua K.K.M., Yeunga C.M.Y., Yua C.H., Yua K.K.M., University of Reading, UK
Separation of nanosize catalyst from product in liquid phase has been a major problem in industry. Thus the facilitated separation of a small magnetic body carrying catalytically active species is of a tremendous interest however; [...]
