Nanostructured silicon coupled with Iron Oxide Magnetic Nanoparticles as Enhanced Desorption/Ionization on Silicon Mass Spectrometry for Phosphopeptide Analysis

Chen W.Y., Cheng Y.C., Lin C.H., Tsao C.W., National Central University, TW

Stem cells can differentiated into various cell types which can be used to repair damage organs in regenerative medicine applications. The cell regulation process such as cell division, differentiation, and apoptosis are deeply related to [...]

Simulation of a High Compliant Micro Electromagnetic Generator for Energy Harvesting

Chen S.J., Wu G-Y, National Central University, TW

A micro electromagnetic generator for vibration energy harvesting is modeled and simulated. This prototyping electromagnetic generator converts change of magnetic flux to induced electromotive force (EMF) from environmental vibration energy. The mechanical FEA was conducted [...]

Oxygen Reduction Reaction Enhancement of PdCo/C Electrocatalysts Driven by Oxidation Treatment

Wang K-W, National Central University, TW

One of the key issues for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) is to reduce or replace expensive Pt cathode catalysts. Although the development of non-Pt, such as Pd-Co catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction [...]

Pt-Au Core/Shell Nanorods: Preparation and Applications as Electrocatalysts for Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Liu C-W, National Central University, TW

Nanostructured materials have been studied intensively due to their board potential applications in the energy field. A great deal of effort has been devoted to developing high efficient nanocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). In [...]

Re-dispersible ZrO2 powders for transparent high RI nanocomposite

Chiang A.S.T., Sun Y.S., Wang S-H., National Central University, TW

Previous products of nano-ZrO2 usually come in the form of dispersed sol. When they are to be used in organic/inorganic composite, the solvent accompanied may not be compatible with the target polymer system. We have [...]

Metal-Semiconductor-Metal Ultraviolet Detectors Utilizing Ge Nanocrystals Active Medium on Si Substrate

Hong J.W., Lo S.Y., Wu P.J., Yeh R.H, National Central University, TW

Since the observation of photoluminescence from porous Si, nanocrystalline Si and Ge have extensively been studied because it would open a possibility for indirect-gap semiconductors for optoelectronic applications. Nayfeh et al. reported ultraviolet (UV) detectors [...]
