Ionic Diodes in Water Desalination & Purification

Marken F., Madrid E., Aaronson B.D.B., McKeown N.B., University of Bath, UK

Ionic rectifiers (or ionic diodes) work like electronic diodes, but allow ion flow to be controlled. We have developed novel ionic diode devices based on ionomer and polymer materials coated onto microholes to typically 5 [...]

Tunneling Negative Differential Resistance in Flexible Silicone Graphite Composites

Littlejohn S.D., Nogaret A., Crampin S., University of Bath, UK

Developing flexible electronic materials with the ability to amplify signals is a major challenge for bioelectronics. The next step in developing an active nervous system calls for a flexible electronic material that produces a signal [...]

Acid Transformation of TiO2 Nanotubes to Nanoparticles

Bavykin D.V., Lapkin A.A., Friedrich J.M., Walsh F.C., University of Bath, UK

Transformation of TiO2 nanotubes in the presence of sulfuric acid to TiO2 nanoparticles was studied. The possible physico - chemical reasons for such transformations are critically discussed.
