Disordered carbons obtained from cherry stones were tested as electrodes for lithium batteries and their properties compared with those of short multiwalled carbon nanotubes (s-MWCNT), proposed candidates use in these electrochemical devices. Cells cycled (up to 100 cycles) over a wide range rates (C/10 5C). Previously, structural, textural, morphological examined by X-ray diffraction patterns, adsorption data, electron microscopy images (scanning transmission microscopy), respectively. All...
The discharge products of ether-based Li–O2 cells were grown directly on common carbon-coated TEM grids and observed by oxidation-state-sensitive full field transmission soft X-ray microscopy (TXM). acquired data have permitted to quantify localize with spatial resolution the distribution oxygen in these samples (i.e., lithium superoxide, peroxide, carbonates) appreciate several compositional, structural, morphological aspects. Most peroxide particles had a toroidal shape, often central hole...
Cherry stones (CS), a lignocellulosic material abundantly generated by the agrarian industry in Valle del Jerte (Cáceres province, Spain), were used as precursor preparation of granular activated carbon chemical activation with H3PO4. After previous contact dilute H2SO4 solution, CS first soaked H3PO4 solution (i.e., at H3PO4-to-CS ratios ranging between 0.64 and 5.78) 85 °C, resultant heterogeneous mixture was oven-dried 120 °C for 24−48 h. Then, acid-impregnated heated from ambient...
Abstract A novel electrochemical cell design is proposed to allow fast, reproducible and highly efficient convective transport of dissolved substances screen‐printed three‐electrode strips mounted on miniaturized plastic vessels, with the goal improving detection limits in disposable stripping field sensors. The experimental configuration has been tested for accumulation selected heavy metals ions Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), codeposited bismuth a carbon disk working electrode before by square...
Carbon free-radicals are used as soluble redox mediators to catalyze ORR and enhance the discharge of Li–O<sub>2</sub> batteries.
In the 21st century, academics must recognise value of incorporating e-learning activities in teaching order to provide students opportunity interact and engage with peers collaborative learning. To achieve this, a Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) activity was introduced 2nd 3rd year Mechanical Industrial Design Engineering degrees, aim enhancing aspects such as global manufacturing reverse engineering. This also used an approach internationalise curriculum which is...
The main aim of this study was to assess the efficacy water hyacinth stem as insulation material by analysing its thermal and acoustic performance. Several particleboards composites were prepared adding either binders or blending with other construction materials. During preparation samples, various factors including sample thickness, average particle size in degree compaction, type binder used taken into consideration. Particleboards manually compacted particles range 1–2 mm a 14 thickness...
