Monodisperse hollow silica nanospheres (HSNSs) with an outer diameter of ∼300 nm and shell thickness of ∼50 nm were prepared via a spontaneous dissolution–regrowth process of solid silica nanospheres (SSNSs) in NaBH4 aqueous ...

In this paper we report the thermal conductivity of several commercial and non-commercial Li-ion secondary battery electrode materials with and without electrolytesolvents. We also measure the Tafel potential, the ohmic ...

Most of the work performed in this study has concentrated on the thermal decomposition of biomass. This was done because to the simple fact that biomass is mainly composed of volatiles that evaporates prior to the gasification ...

The pyrolysis kinetics of Norway spruce, its bark, and their torrefied products was studied. Thermogravimetry (TGA) was employed with linear and stepwise heating programs. Altogether 36 TGA experiments were evaluated ...

CO2 capture with alkanolamines has been in use since 1930, where 2-ethanolamine (MEA) is the most studied absorbent for post-combustion. In order to prevent degradation, it is important to understand the degradation ...

Zr70Ni16Cu6Al8 bulk metallic glass samples were cast and prepared for tensiletesting. Tensile tests were done at temperatures 77 K, 150 K and 295K, over a range of effective strain rates between 10−5 and 10−1/s in order ...

Energy goestructures - geoenergi-konstruksjoner - er en type grunnvarmepumpe der konstruksjoner i bakken blir utnyttet til å hente ut eller lagre termisk energi i bakken. Energikonstruksjonene finnes i dag som energivegger, ...

This study focuses on the role of the combined gas diffusion layer and membrane on thermal diffusion coefficient and its effects on water transport in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell. Thermal diffusion coefficients ...

We study the thermal effects on the frictional properties of atomically thin sheets. We simulate a simple model based on the Prandtl-Tomlinson model that reproduces the layer dependence of friction and strengthening effects ...
