The performance of the electrode depends on two important factors namely microstructure and morphology and the effect of doping. These two factors influence the type of cathode materials that can be chosen for the battery. Intercalation and deintercalation happen along particular crystallographic planes and headings, so higher crystallinity enhances terminal

The use of nano-materials and extreme precision micro-engineering has the potential for great improvement in the world of electronics and information technology by providing smaller, faster, and more powerful computers and this has been at the forefront of the nanotechnology commercialization . Great examples of how nanotechnology is currently being used in these fields are products such as processors, data storage, and memory components made with nano-materials, TVs, monitors and even smartphone screens that use organic light-emitting diodes (OLED), and waterproof electronics such as smartphones due to the application of nano-coatings

Fullerenes are molecules composed entirely of carbon in the form of a hallow sphere, ellipsoid, tube, or plane. In this experiment, the purpose is to use cyclic voltammetry to infer about the electron transfer in MOs of fullerenes and understand orbital energy and composition. The first part of the experiment is an electrochemical characterization of C60. A sample of C60 ¬is dissolved and transferred into an electrochemical cell. Cyclic voltammetry, a potential wave form is used for determination of formal redox potentials, detection of chemical reactions that precede or follow the electrochemical reaction and evaluation of electron transfer kinetics.

All the data was fitted satisfactorily using the equivalent circuit shown in Fig. 7. Where, Rs, CPE1 and R1 represent solution resistance, a constant- phase element corresponding to the double layer capacitance and the charge transfer resistance, respectively. CPE2 and R2 were added to account for the electrical elements of the outer layer. The following formula expressed the electrode impedance, Z, as follow:

Simplifying the schematics, a battery is comprised of at least one galvanic cell, which contains two or more half cells, a reduction cell and an oxidation cell. The electrode and electrolyte solution are contained in the half cells, and the chemical reactions in the two half cells provide the energy for the galvanic cell operations (Chieh). The two electrodes, or battery terminals, produce electricity through a series of electromagnetic reactions between the anode, cathode, and electrolyte (Marshall, Charles, & Clint, 2000). Two or more electrically charged atoms/molecules, known as ions, from the electrolyte bond with the anode (negative terminal) in the oxidation reaction. This produces a compound, where one or more electrons are then released. Simultaneously, the cathode substance (positive terminal), ions, and free electrons also combine into compounds during the reduction reaction with the cathode. Basically, the cathode or positive terminal of the battery is absorbing the electrons produced from the anode or negative terminal, creating electricity. Therefore, electrons flow from anode to cathode (AUS-e-TUTE, 2017), and electrical energy is

The results recorded in (table 30) and (figure 32) Indicated that Cu+2 activated the enzyme at 0.01M concentration by 1.2 fold and the activity gradually decrease by increasing the metal concentration to 0.1M with activity 51.29U/mg protein. Na+ ion activate the enzyme when added with 0.1M by

The microbial fuel cell (MFC) is an upsurging technology in the field of bio-energy generation along with wastewater treatment. The microbial fuel cell generates energy with the help of microbes that makes it green future source of energy. In MFC, anaerobic microbes degrade organic matter and produce hydrogen ions (H+) and electrons (e-) at the anode. H+ ion diffuses through the proton exchange membrane (PEM); and e- are transported through an electrode via an external circuit to the cathode. At a cathode, e- and H+ ions combine with oxygen to form water (H2O), this results in power generation [1]. MFC has limited open circuit voltage (OCV) of 1.14 V because of the standard redox potential of NADH/ NAD+ and O2/H2O of -0.32 V and +0.82 V

Since proton takes part in the oxidation of MTX, the pH value of solution will greatly influence the Ipa [45]. The effects of stripping pH value of the PBS buffer solution on the electrochemical performance of MTX were also tested with the pH varying from 3.0 to 9.0 using 0.05 M PBS buffer and theresults were depicted in Fig. 9.The results showed a maximum of Ipa when the buffer solution pH was 4.0 (Fig. 9). Therefore, in subsequent experiments, the stripping was carried out in 0.05 mol L-1 phosphate buffer with pH

When exposed to sunlight, the the top layer of plasmonic nanoparticle discs produces hot electrons. After this step is complete, it is vital that the hot electrons are alienated from the electron holes, in order to preserve their energy. The middle layer of aluminum plays its part, as it causes for the electron holes to gravitate toward it. The bottom layer of nickel oxide traps the hot electrons, while allowing for the electron holes to pass through. If the device is immersed in water, the molecules can then be broken down into simpler

I will then cut the potato chips with the help of the ruler and scalpel and name the three chips as test 1,2,3.

Capacitance-voltage (C-V) characterization is a non-destructive technique which determines the charge distribution and identifies the presence of interface states in semiconductors when the applied biasing voltage participates in the carrier capture and emission at interface traps [14,15]. Such traps are charged leading to the production of a dipole layer at the interface. Small modulation in the AC bias will change the barrier height, and the position of the Fermi level will shift relative to its equilibrium position. Thus, the characteristics of the device will be changed [15,16].

CPA was used due to its high time resolution and is discussed in detail in Section 2.4. In order to achieve effective voltammetry when using enzymes, they must first be immobilised onto a suitable electrode surface through which a current may be transduced. The immobilisation of an enzyme may be executed through the simple adsorption of the molecules onto the electrode surface as previously discussed in Chapter 1, Section

The paper reports that a double walled carbon nanotube (DWNT) was fabricated for the purposes of conducting transport experiments. These DWNTs were fabricated by a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)-compatible process. First a vertical array of DWNTs were grown on a silicon chip used as a substrate by a catalytic chemical vapour deposition

The anodic oxidation of a catechol generates a reactive o-benzoquinone that can be used to trigger a number of interesting reactions [1-5] and play an important role in the redox electron transport chains of living systems [6-8] for example, vitamine K is known to play an important role in blood coagulation mechanism and also in photosynthesis, vitamine E is important factor in electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation.
