TiFe-based alloys are solid-state hydrogen storage materials operated at room temperature (RT). The current study presents a systematic approach for solving the activation issue (difficulty in first hydrogenation), one of major obstacles to practical application TiFe alloys, via use secondary AB2 phase. Based on Ti–Fe–Cr ternary phase diagram, containing 80 at% Ti(Fe,Cr) (AB phase) and 20 Ti(Fe,Cr)2 (AB2 were designed; Cr concentrations AB systematically varied while maintaining fixed...
Titanium iron (TiFe) alloy is a room-temperature hydrogen-storage material, and it absorbs hydrogen via two-step process to form TiFeH then TiFeH2. The effect of V addition in TiFe was recently elucidated. substitution for Ti sublattice lowers P2/P1 ratio, where P1 P2 are the equilibrium plateau pressure TiFe/TiFeH TiFeH/TiFeH2, respectively, thus restricts hydrogenation within narrow range. focus present investigation optimize content such that maximum usable storage capacity can be...
A variety of perfluorocycloalkenyl (PFCA) aryl ether monomers and polymers with enchained triarylamine units were successfully synthesized, characterized reported here. These are highly thermally stable show variable thermal properties. Successful conversion the newly synthesized TAA perfluorocyclopentenyl (PFCP) via formylation EAS demonstrates synthetic versatility moiety provides an excellent option for application specific post polymerization reactions. The cross-linking behavior PFCP...
We report on a surfactant free, simple chemical synthesis, material properties, electrochemical behavior, and device performance of semi-polycrystalline polyaniline- multiwalled carbon nanotube (SPani-MWNT) composite as supercapacitor electrode. The specific capacitances (Csp) exhibit unique, yet interesting pattern attributable to the presence crystalline phases in material. Csp is 359 F g-1 at current density (CD) 1 A g-1, declines lower value 257 5 gains higher 444 10 3-electrode cell...
