In the present study, we reported a novel type of proton transport material comprised of “liquid” nano carbon (2) embedded in a polymer matrix to form proton conducting nanocomposit. The nanocomposit exhibits excellent proton transport [...]
Nanoporous Silicon Membrane Based Micro Fuel Cells for Portable Power Sources Applications
In this paper the formation of nanoporous silicon membranes and evaluation of their usage for the solid electrolyte in miniature direct formic acid fuel cells compatible with silicon micro-fabrication technology is reported. Nanoporous silicon membranes [...]
Pt and Pt-Ru/Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposites Synthesized in Supercritical Fluid as Electrocatalysts for Low-Temperature Fuel Cells
In recent years, the use of supercritical fluids (SCFs) for the synthesis and processing of nanomaterials has proven to be a rapid, direct, and clean approach to develop nanomaterials and nanocomposites. The application of supercritical [...]
TiN/GaN- Metal/Semiconductor Multilayers for Thermionic Energy Conversion Devices
This work deals with investigation of metal/semiconductor nitrides for potential application as solid state thermionic energy converters. TiN/GaN multilayers were deposited on Sapphire and MgO substrate using reactive pulsed laser deposition. This is the first [...]
Catching Mr. Big with the Small – ‘To Infinitesimal and Beyond”
In some parts of the world, the tax revenue from fuels is a big incentive for criminal syndicates to smuggle fuel and launder markers that are used to designate low tax fuels. These activities cost [...]
Nanotechnology – Disruptive Technologies for Electric Utility Systems. Challenges and Opportunities.
Within the next 25 years, the electric power utility system in the U.S. will face a number of serious challenges. These will include issues related to diminishing supplies and increasing costs of fossil fuels, the [...]
Nano-Hetero Structure for direct energy conversion
The direct conversion of nuclear energy becomes possible in hetero-nanostructures. To convert the kinetic energy of the fission product into electricity it has to be created a nanostructure formed from a repetitive conductor-insulator structure generically [...]
Synthesis and characterization of a highly cross linked PEGME and PEG for solid electrolyte and its application in dye-sensitized solar cells
The replacement of liquid electrolyte in dye sensitized solar cells by gel and solid electrolyte is one approach towards the improvement of properties of electrolyte such as leakage and evaporation of liquid to operate for [...]
