Journal Article Summary And Analysis

This document is not meant to be a substitute for a formal laboratory report. The Lab Report Assistant is simply a summary of the experiment’s questions, diagrams if needed, and data tables that should be addressed in a formal lab report. The intent is to facilitate students’ writing of lab reports by providing this information in an editable file which can be sent to an instructor.

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

As explained by IDTech Ex report that the flexible electronics market will reach over $76 billion by 2023[1],while the market for flexible, thin, stretchable and bendable batteries will grow to become about $471 million industry by 2026[2]. Additionally, the product is considered the most promising energy storage device with low carbon dioxide emission. The energy density of the lithium ion battery range between 120-170 Wh Kg-1 and 250-380 Wh l-1 more higher than Ni-Cd and Lead-acid[3]. LIB has three major electronically active components namely anode, electrolyte, and cathode. The anode is the negative electrode that releases electrons into an external circuit during a discharge process that involves the oxidation of chemical reactions. On the other hand, the cathode is the positive electrode that is reduced during a reaction. Notably, the lithium ions are stored within the cathode after a cell is discharged. Both cathode and anode stores energy while on charge, and releases it on discharge[4]. Cathode materials have relatively high electrochemical potentials while anode materials have low potentials. This design approach helps maximize the battery’s output voltage. The final active component of the LIB is the electrolyte. It is a mixture of a set of organic solvents containing disassociated lithium salts that enables Li+ transportation between the anode and the cathode. Besides, other complementary components, such as current collectors attached to the

Will the state fulfill the desires of the community like it promises? Many Denver residents of the article Colorado Aims to Expand a Main Artery, but beleaguered Neighbors Balk do not think so; nor the author Julie Hurwitz. Despite the expansion helping with the flow of traffic, it is causing many negative impacts on the current residents. It is the city’s most controversial topic.

There is not an exact path as to where the electrons are supposed to go, so where the peas landed showed us the different regions of high and low density. Also in this lab, the quantum mechanical model shows that there is not a set spot as to how the electrons are going to go.

Researchers are charged up about biobatteries, contrivances able to harness prevalent biological processes to engender electricity. Most biobatteries are unable to engender sizably voluminous amounts of potency, but researchers recently developed a prototype version that has the potential to be lighter and more potent than the batteries typically found in today's portable electronic contrivances, including smartphones.

There are different kinds of batteries in the market currently, such as coin cells, cylinder cell, prismatic cell and pouch cell. They all have different geometries, but in this chapter we will only focus on pouch battery. The following Fig.5-1 shows the structure of the pouch battery that we used in this study.

One type of FCs is microbial fuel cell (MFC) that uses an active microorganism as a biocatalyst in an anaerobic anode compartment for production of bioelectricity. Although electrical current produced by bacteria was observed by Potter in 1911, more useful functions were developed during the next 50 years. finally, in the first of 1990s, MFC known as a promising technology to achieve energy and teat

While Lithium based batteries have allowed electronic products to become more portable, current applications of lithium based batteries are starting to show the limitations of the current technology. These limitations include aspects such as energy density, charge rate, and the usable lifetime of the battery. Furthermore, over the past decade safety concerns of lithium ion batteries have become more and more apparent in both industrial and consumer uses of lithium based batteries.

Third, a science article used is from ABC Science. Finally, the science papers used were pages 130-139 from the 34th volume of Biomaterial. The time frame used for this research was from January 1st 2013 to the present.

As was reflected upon under the chemistry subtitle, the batteries have been designed, and retain their designs, to specifically fit their uses. Though the size of the lead acid batteries does not allow for the powering of small portable devices such as watches,

A neuroprosthetic implant is an interface between neurons and external devices to restore or supplement the function of the nervous system lost during injury or disease. There have been considerable strides made in the field of neuroprosthetics, with varying degrees of success. The treatment of many neurological disorders has improved due the implantation of macro and microdevices into neural tissue. As prosthetic implants need to be placed in direct contact with tissue, biocompatibility becomes an important aspect to be taken into consideration during their design. Acute and chronic inflammatory responses occur on the insertion of

Pye’s article on crosslinked, gel-matrix polymers in supercapacitors excited me when I saw it. It demonstrated that in the near future new “battery” technologies would turn the current battery related drawbacks a distant memory. To my amazement, Pye stated that the researchers working on the project expect the new supercapacitors to be between 1,000 to 10,000 times more powerful than current capacitors. While this may sound dubious, Pye is a writer for Plastics Engineering Magazine and presented himself as an expert on the subject. His work was well

The electron microscope has become one of the most widely utilized instruments for materials characterization. An electron microscope is a scientific instrument that allows us to “see” objects so small that they cannot be seen in any other way. (CITE) Electron microscopes have allowed scientists to see individual molecules and atoms for the first time.

Moreover, toxins pile up in the body, especially outside of the cells due to poor bio-electric membrane voltage, which makes it possible for the toxins to stick to the membrane. This activity inhibits the natural flow of water into the cells as well as exit of nucleic waste out of the cells. As a result, the functioning of the cells is compromised until the level whereby toxins penetrate the cell membranes and thus reaching a level whereby the process is irreversible. Moreover, the body’s design has many organs that are attuned to the electromagnetic phenomena. For example, the brain produces electromagnetic fields that are both different and separate from those produced by the heart; a mechanical wave sound is vibrated by the tympanic membrane while the eyes record individual photon packets. As such, the human body is actively involved in the production and control of bioelectricity.
