Wirelessly powered miniature wearable vital signs monitor

Marzencki M., Kaminska B., Simon Fraser University, CA

In this work, we propose a novel system that employs a long range inductive link to recharge a small battery on-board a wearable device. One end of the link is integrated into the wearable device [...]

A Permselective Layered Silicate Modified by Acid-treatment and Its Use for Blocking of Methanol Crossover in DMFC

Yoo H., Kim J.H., Kwak S-Y, Seoul National University, KR

Layered silicates currently find uses in ion-exchange, adsorption, catalysis and fabrication of nanocomposites. Several layered silicates have channel systems or open frameworks within layers. They can be used to solve the problem for direct methanol [...]

Charge/Discharge Property and Cycle Life of Li4Ti5O12/LiCoO2-LiNi1-x-yCoxAlyO2 Cell for Electricity Storage Applications: Effect of Cell Design Parameters

Song M.-S., Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology, KR

In this work, Li4Ti5O12 has been used as an anode material in lithium-ion batteries for electricity storage applications, which operate under intermittent cycling conditions with higher charge/discharge rates than 4C (i.e., current extracting the full [...]

Poly(2,5-benzimidazole) Based Polymer Electrolyte Membranes for High Temperature Fuel Cell Applications

Bao X.J., Liu Q.T., Loughborough University, UK

In this study, two methods, direct mixing polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanos (POSS) with poly(2,5-benzimidazole) (ABPBI) and in-situ synthesis were employed to prepare ABPBI based composite membrane materials, respectively. The morphologies of pristine and composite membranes were [...]

Shape Selective Nano-Catalyst for Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (DMFC) Applications

Hunyadi Murph S., Fox E.B., Serkiz S.M., Colon-Mercado H., Savannah River National Laboratory, US

Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) have recently attracted much interest as a promising alternative to conventional batteries, especially in portable electronic devices. DMFCs, however, have several disadvantages including high cost, largely as a result of [...]
