The development of proton exchange membranes as electrolytes for polymer electrolyte fuel cells operating at intermediate temperatures has been achieved combining two approaches: the preparation a cross-linked and formation covalent organic/inorganic hybrids. A covalently sulfonated polyetheretherketone with elevated degree sulfonation (DS = 0.8) was prepared by reaction HSO3Cl (SOPEEK). No degradation PEEK detected upon sulfonation, but only cross-linking via sulfonic groups SO2 moieties...
Plastics are widely produced due to their stability and ease of manufacturing, but many them quickly become a waste, breaking down into microplastics nanoplastics. While methods for the identification characterization plastic particles well consolidated, small size nanoplastics presents challenges detection analysis. Furthermore, difficulty identifying nanoplastics, analytical studies concerning effect on cells comprehensive spectroscopic still lacking. In this paper, we overcome obstacle by...
Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) is a widely used non-invasive approach with therapeutic purposes since it provides physical stimulation minimal thermal effects. The skin epithelium the first barrier of human body that interfaces LIPUS and subjected to highest intensity. Little known about impact on surface.

The increasing interest in stretchable conductive composite materials, that can be versatile and suitable for wide-ranging application, has sparked a growing demand studies of scalable fabrication techniques specifically tailored geometries. Thanks to the combination conductivity robustness carbon nanotube (CNT) materials with viscoelastic properties polymer films, particular their stretchability, "surface composites" made CNT on polymeric films are promising way obtain low-cost, conductive,...
Tungsten carbide (WC) is the most important tungsten compound, and main component of WC-Co cermet composites. are widely used engineering materials due to combination high hardness strength with toughness plasticity metallic binder. The direct synthesis WC from concentrate containing ∼70% WO3 has been achieved by carbothermic reduction. Mineral/carbon black mixtures were prepared planetary ball milling subjected annealing at 1150 °C in flowing Ar. Specific leaching treatments have developed...
Abstract Composite membranes made‐up of sulphonated polyetheretherketone (SPEEK, DS = 0.5) and a silylated hybrid organic–inorganic derivative polyphenylsulphone (SiSPPSU, 2) were prepared characterised. The water methanol uptake, as well thermal properties, blend containing 5 10 wt.‐% SiSPPSU evaluated. electrochemical performance the was evaluated by impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tested in direct fuel cell (DMFC) station. presence modified properties SPEEK, allowing to increase its terms...
With the aim of supporting thermodynamic modeling phase equilibria molten salt mixtures, this article investigates solid phases present in NaNO3 and KNO3 binary mixtures. To that end, an innovative approach based on combined use high-temperature Neutron Scattering Analysis Differential Scanning Calorimetry was proposed. A not reported before detected close to solidus curve central part diagram, its diffraction pattern assigned a mixed nitrate phase, i.e. solution two salts.
Molten salt (MS) mixtures are used for the transport (HTF-heat transfer fluid) and storage of heat (HSM-heat material) in Concentration Solar Plants (CSP). In general, alkaline earth-alkaline nitrate/nitrite employed. Along with its upper stability temperature, melting point (liquidus point) a MS mixture is one main parameters which defines usefulness as HTF HSM medium. As result, we would like to develop predictive model will allow us forecast freezing points different compositions; thus...
Reversible solid oxide cell (RSOC) technology allows use of a single device to efficiently derive chemicals from power (power-to-fuel) and (fuel-to-power). Fuel flexibility is key aspect, as developing SOCs able operate on fuels other than hydrogen can ease their integration into existing infrastructure. In addition, H2O and/or CO2 reduction favorable in SOECs polarization losses are reduced at high temperature. Here, composite fuel electrode, 60 wt.% La0.6Sr0.4Fe0.8Mn0.2O3−δ (LSFMn) 40 (5...
