Dual-mode MRI contrast agents consisting of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (SPION) cores and gadolinium ions associated with the ionic chitosan protecting layer were synthesized studied. Gadolinium introduced into coating via direct complex formation on nanoparticles surface, covalent attachment or electrostatically driven deposition preformed Gd complex. The modified SPIONs having hydrodynamic diameters ca. 100 nm form stable, well-defined dispersions in water have excellent...

The models of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), which are available in the open literature, may be categorized into two non-overlapping groups: microscale or macroscale. Recent progress computational power makes it possible to formulate a model combines both approaches, so-called multiscale model. novelty this modeling approach lies combination description transport phenomena and electrochemical reactions’ with fluid dynamics heat mass transfer an SOFC. In work, mathematical cell takes account...

In this research, we investigate the connection between an observed enhancement in solid oxide fuel cell stack performance and evolution of microstructure its electrodes. A three dimensional, numerical model is applied to predict porous ceramic-metal electrode on basis morphology. The features a non-continuous computational domain based digital reconstruction obtained using focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) nanotomography. Butler–Volmer equation used compute charge...
