The global transition to sustainable energy systems requires breakthroughs in electrochemical storage technologies that are not only safe but also resource efficient. Solid-state batteries (SSBs), which use superionic solid electrolytes (SEs) instead of flammable liquid electrolytes, are at the forefront of this transformation. In general, SEs promise increased safety, access to high-voltage cathode and metal anode chemistries, and new avenues for circular design and recyclability. However, to reach their f

A combined computational-experimental approach determines k 0 from cyclic voltammetry ( α + β ≠ 1), validated with the ferro/ferricyanide couple.

Gallium (Ga)-based liquid metals have garnered increasing attention in applications across different disciplines. Soft electronics and electrocatalysis benefit from the intriguing potential-dependent properties of Ga-based liquid metals, which include high conductivity, fluid-like properties, and a dynamic native oxide skin. Yet, the connection between the applied potential and the compositional and structural evolution of liquid metals remains underexplored at the nanoscale. This study investigates the rea

The development of photoelectrochemical (PEC) systems for solar fuel production has been focused mainly on the fabrication and study of highly efficient materials. However, when the main target is to increase performance in terms of photocurrent densities, the selection of operating conditions becomes inconsistent due to ad hoc approaches preferred by researchers to maximise photocurrent densities at the expense of stability, scalability and practical application. The operating conditions for increased stab

Electrolysis is usually performed under constant potential or current, but pulsed electrolysis has received growing attention over the last years, especially in the context of CO2 reduction where favourable impacts on product selectivity are observed. However, the mechanism at play remains under debate. Among the most often reported contributions are the modified mass-transport of reactants at the electrode, the oxidation of metal catalyst during anodic steps or the morphological reconstruction of the surfa

Conducting polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) doped with iron(III) tris-p-toluenesulfonate (PEDOT:Tos) having metallic conductivity was coated onto fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass and plain glass substrates and used as a counter electrode (CE) in a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) with a [Co(bpy)3]3+/2+ complex redox shuttle. DSCs with PEDOT:Tos/glass CE yielded power conversion efficiencies (PCE) of 6.3%, similar to that of DSCs with platinized FTO glass CE (6.1%). The PEDOT:Tos-based cou

In this report, we first introduce operator splitting as a way to solve nonlinear reaction-diffusion PDEs. We then present a flux-limiting technique for anisotropic diffusion problems that allows to recover the discrete maximum principle. Finally, we implement a simple action potential model, which allows us to represent the evolution of the transmembrane potential of a stimulated cell, and investigate the effect of anisotropic diffusion on the positivity of this potential.

In the diffusion model of chemical reactions, the encounter (reaction) rate between reactant particles is governed by the Smoluchowski equation, which is a diffusion equation in a field of forces. We consider crowded environments where the particles diffuse through a “liquid” of like particles. Assuming that the liquid-like short-range structure around the reactant gives rise to an effective (osmotic) barrier leads us to map a complicated many-body problem to a one-dimensional problem. This allows us to des

A modular approach for the synthesis of cage structures is described. Reactions of [(arene)RuCl2]2 [arene = p-cymene, 1,3,5-C6H3Me3, 1,3,5-C6H3(i-Pr)3] with formyl-substituted 3-hydroxy-2-pyridone ligands provide trinuclear metallamacrocycles with pendant aldehyde groups. Subsequent condensation reactions with di- and triamines give molecular cages with 3, 6, or 12 Ru centers in a diastereoselective and chemoselective (self-sorting) fashion. Some of the cages can also be prepared in one-pot reactions by mix

The catalytic activity of [CpOsBr2(PPh3)] in conjunction with Mg has been evaluated for atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) and cyclization (ATRC) reactions. The Os complex enabled these reactions to be performed with similar efficiency as that of the analogous Ru complex [CpRuCl2(PPh3)]. The olefin complex [CpOsBr(H2C=CHPh)(PPh3)] was obtained by reduction of [CpOsBr2(PPh3)] with Mg in the presence of an excess of styrene, whereas an analogous Ru complex was not observed. Kinetic investigations sugge

A solid oxide fuel (SOFC) cogenerates heat and electricity with high efficiency. Electricity is produced by the electrochemical reaction of a fuel (H2, CO, CH4) and an oxidant gas (O2, air). The SOFC standard design is based on an anode-supported electrolyte. The anode is composed of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and nickel oxide (NiO). NiO is reduced in situ into metallic nickel during the first use of the fuel cell. Porosity is formed to compensate the volume shrinkage induced by the reduction (40 vol%

The locally-resolved degradation behavior was studied during 1900 hours in an SOFC repeat-element. In-situ measurements of local electrochemical performance were made on 18 locations over a segmented anode-supported cell. The evolution of local current densities, overpotentials and area-specific resistances was studied, showing a reorganization of the electrochemical reaction with time. The extent and the spatial distribution of degradation were established for different electrochemical reactions steps usin

In bypass graft surgery, surgeons have turned to synthetic materials such as polyethylene terephthalate (Dacron) and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) when lacking sufficient and suitable arteries or veins for the procedure. However, due to their low patency in small-caliber bypass surgery (

The spark assisted chem. engraving (SACE) of glass has been investigated using current/voltage measurements combined with photographs of the tool electrode under different regimes. Depending on the applied potential, different domains have been identified. At low potentials (25 V), there are strong current fluctuations mainly due to bubble coalescence. The authors speculate that in this r

The electro-combustion of water sol. polymeric contaminants such as polyacrylates (PA) in aq. acid soln. using a B-doped diamond anode was studied by bulk electrolysis in 1 mol/dm3 HClO4 under galvanostatic conditions in a wide range of PA concns. and current densities. In all cases complete electro-combustion of PA was achieved and this is the 1st successful report for the electro-combustion of sol. org. polymers. The exptl. COD and instantaneous current efficiency values are well predicted from a theor. m

Thin films of neodymium-modified bismuth titanate Bi3.44Nd0.56Ti3O12 (BNT) were grown on Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrates using chemical solution deposition method. The capacitors made by applying top Au electrodes on BNT films showed significantly improved values of the remanent polarization as compared to that using bismuth titanate Bi4Ti3O12 (BT) films. The 2P(r) value for the BNT capacitors was determined to be equal to 38 muC/cm(2) at an applied voltage of 24 V, whereas, for Bi4Ti3O12 ( BT) capacitors a valu

Solid epoxy resins are produced at Vantico SA by catalyzed reactions of a low-mol. wt. liq. resin (RBL) with bisphenol A (BPA). These reactions lead to solid epoxy resins, which are used in surface coatings or adhesives. The chain lengthening step (advancement reaction) is based on the reaction of the epoxy functional group with the phenolic hydroxyl group leading to the formation of a secondary hydroxyl group. These secondary hydroxyl groups can also react with epoxy groups to form branched mols. The autho

Synthetic B-doped diamond thin film electrodes were tested for electroanal. detection of 2-naphthol. This redox reaction was studied by cyclic voltammetry in aq. acidic soln. Well-resolved oxidn. waves were obsd. and the voltammetric peaks exhibited naphthol concn. dependence. Linear calibration curves were obtained after a simple electrochem. anodic pretreatment.
