Supercapacitors store energy electrochemically and have advantages over ordinary batteries, such as being faster to charge and discharge, having longer lifespans and being more cost-effective. The ...
But it can also serve as an effective electrode material when electrochemically engineered for that purpose. The Chalmers team, led by Professor Leif Asp, has been working on this for years ...
When electrochemically activated via external wires, the hinges form mountain and valley folds and act to splay open and rotate the panels, allowing the robot to change its coverage area and ...
The team simulated earthquake conditions in a lab and, under a microscope, they found that stressed quartz could electrochemically deposit gold onto its surface. "The results were stunning," study ...
"The stressed quartz not only electrochemically deposited gold onto its surface, but it also formed and accumulated gold nanoparticles," said study co-author Professor Andy Tomkins, from the ...
"The stressed quartz not only electrochemically deposited gold onto its surface, but it also formed and accumulated gold nanoparticles," he said. "Remarkably, the gold had a tendency to deposit on ...
Aditya Mohite at Rice, and Henry Snaith at Oxford. "We engineered our solar cells through two steps: using robust polymer hole transport material to block electron injection; using electrochemically ...
