Impedance Spectroscopy, AC Conductivity, and Conduction Mechanism of Iron(II) Chloride/Polyvinyl Alcohol/Polyvinylpyrrolidone Polymer Blend

Superdiffusive Conduction: AC Conductivity with Correlated Noise

We present evidence of the existence of a superdiffusive regime in systems with correlated disorder for which localization is suppressed. An expression for anomalous electrical conductivity at low frequencies is found by using a generalized Langevin equation whose memory function accounts for the interactions between the carriers. New mechanisms inducing a superdiffusive conductivity are discus...

Study of Ionic Conductivity Profiles of the Air Cathode of a PEMFC by AC Impedance Spectroscopy

A characterization of the ionic conduction of the active layer of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell ~PEMFC! cathode by ac impedance measurement at open-circuit potential conditions was conducted. Porous electrode theory was used to derive a compact equation, ]2F& 2 /]y 1 ] ln f(y)/]y 3 ]F& 2 /]y 2 R/ f (y)(1 1 jV)F& 2 5 0, to solve for the impedance response of a cathode at open-circuit ...

Investigation on Thermal Conductivity and AC Impedance of Graphite Suspension

Over the past decade, some groups have reported that nanofluids, which are liquids containing suspensions of nanoparticles, have substantially higher thermal conductivity than that of the base fluids. However, the reported high thermal conductivity sometimes cannot be reproduced. Theoretically, potential mechanisms leading to this enhancement are still under scrutiny. In this thesis, we present...

PES/Quaternized-PES Blend Anion Exchange Membranes: Investigation of Polymer Compatibility and Properties of the Blend

Polyethersulfone (PES)-based anion exchange blend membranes were prepared from quaternized-PES (Q-PES) and N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) casting solutions with water as coagulant via non-solvent induced phase inversion. The compatibility of the blend system was investigated through thermodynamic studies while membrane formation was determined using the cloud point techni...
