We explore electro-catalytic properties of a system consisting of platinum and palladium nanoparticles dispersed over a nanotubular self-organized TiO2 matrix. These electrodes prepared by electroess and microemulsion of palladium and palladium nanoparticles on to TiO2 nanotubes, respectively. Titanium oxide nanotubes were fabricated by anodizing titanium foil in ethylene glycol (EG) fluoride-c...

Background: Sachse cold knife is conventionally used for optical internal urethrotomy to manage urethral strictures. In this procedure, the complications and recurrence rates are relatively high. We suggest combined electro cutter and cold knife as a success alternative in the management of intractable anterior urethral strictures. Methods: In this prospective...

Abstract To meet the booming demand of high‐energy‐density battery systems for modern power applications, various prototypes rechargeable batteries, especially lithium metal batteries with ultrahigh theoretical capacity, have been intensively explored, which are intimated new chemistries, novel materials and rationally designed configurations. What happens inside is associated interaction multi...

BACKGROUND Bipolar electro-coagulation has a reported efficacy in treating epilepsy involving functional cortex by pure electro-coagulation or combination with resection. However, the mechanisms of bipolar electro-coagulation are not completely known. We studied the acute cortical blood flow and histological changes after bipolar electro-coagulation in 24 patients with intractable temporal lobe...

Title of Document: EVALUATION AND MODELING OF ELECTROCHEMICAL MIGRATION ON PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS Xiaofei He, PhD, 2014 Directed by: George Dieter Chair Professor Michael G. Pecht, Assistant Research Scientist Michael H. Azarian, Department of Mechanical Engineering Electrochemical migration (ECM) is the growth of conductive metal filaments on a printed circuit board (PCB) through an electrolyt...

Abstract Efficient and low-cost materials are highly demanded to improve the sluggish kinetics stability of direct urea fuel cells for large-scale commercialization. In this study, modification conventional nickel phoaphide (NiP) by cobalt doping via facile solvothermal method simultaneously dispersing prepared phosphide (CoNiP) on poly (aniline-co-pyrrole)/reduced graphene oxide (PPy@PANI/rGO)...

We present a new theoretical and numerical framework for modelling mechanically-assisted corrosion in elastic-plastic solids. Both pitting stress cracking (SCC) can be captured, as well the pit-to-crack transition. Localised is assumed to dissolution-driven formulation grounded upon film rupture-dissolution-repassivation mechanism presented incorporate influence of passivation. The model incorp...
