Water Soluble Polymers as Proton Exchange Membranes for Fuel Cells
The relentless increase in the demand for useable power from energy-hungry economies continues to drive energy-material related research. Fuel cells, as a future potential power source that provide clean-at-the-point-of-use power offer many advantages such as high efficiency, high energy density, quiet operation, and environmental friendliness. Critical to the operation of the fuel cell is the ...
متن کاملProbing alamethicin channels with water-soluble polymers
Channel access resistance has been measured to estimate the characteristic size of a single ion channel. We compare channel conductance in the presence of nonpenetrating water-soluble polymers with that obtained for polymer-free electrolyte solution. The contribution of the access resistance to the total alamethicin channel resistance is 10% for first three open channel levels. The open alameth...
متن کاملWater soluble polymers in tumor targeted delivery.
The rationales for the use of water soluble polymers for anticancer drug delivery include: the potential to overcome some forms of multidrug resistance, preferential accumulation in solid tumors due to enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, biorecognizability, and targetability. The utility of a novel paradigm for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma in an experimental animal model, wh...
متن کاملHybrid bio-photo-electro-chemical cells for solar water splitting
Photoelectrochemical water splitting uses solar power to decompose water to hydrogen and oxygen. Here we show how the photocatalytic activity of thylakoid membranes leads to overall water splitting in a bio-photo-electro-chemical (BPEC) cell via a simple process. Thylakoids extracted from spinach are introduced into a BPEC cell containing buffer solution with ferricyanide. Upon solar-simulated ...
متن کاملHybrid solar cells
Historically, conventional solar cells were built from inorganic materials such as silicon. Although the efficiency of such conventional solar cells is high, very expensive materials and energy intensive processing techniques are required. Hybrid and photoelectrochemical (dye sensitized) solar cells have been the cheap alternatives for conventional silicon solar cells. A hybrid solar cell consi...
