Capacitive de-ionisation: An electrochemical perspective

Electrochemical Capacitive Desalination Behavior of Activated Carbon Fibers

Introduction Capacitive deionization (CDI), which is ion electrosorption onto the surface of porous materials to remove ions from aqueous solutions, may serve as an energy-efficient alternative for the desalination of brackish water comparing with conventional desalination methods such as membrane separation and thermal distillation [1]. The CDI process operates at low direct voltages. Ions ads...

Faradaic and Capacitive Components of the CNT Electrochemical Responses

The nature of the electrochemical responses from carbon nanotubes (CNTs), capacitive (physical), or Faradaic (chemical, also named p-doping or n-doping) remain controversial. In this chapter, the literature is reviewed and discussed trying to elucidate if some of the two processes prevails, how the presence of chemical reactions can be elucidated and which properties, specific from the chemical...

Biomedical Perspective of Electrochemical Nanobiosensor

Electrochemical biosensor holds great promise in the biomedical area due to its enhanced specificity, sensitivity, label-free nature and cost effectiveness for rapid point-of-care detection of diseases at bedside. In this review, we are focusing on the working principle of electrochemical biosensor and how it can be employed in detecting biomarkers of fatal diseases like cancer, AIDS, hepatitis...

Beam Dynamics in an Ionisation Cooling Channel

The Neutrino Factory has been proposed as a facility to provide an intense source of neutrinos suitable for the measurement of neutrino oscillation parameters and a possible CP violating phase to unprecedented precision. In the Neutrino Factory, neutrinos are produced by the decay of a muon beam with 20-50 GeV per muon. Initially, the muon beam occupies a large volume in phase space, which must...
