Neutron diffraction with isotopic substitution has been used to characterize the bulk liquid structure of the technologically relevant electrolyte solution, 1 M tetrapropylammonium bromide (TPA Br) in acetonitrile (acn), and of pure deuterated acetonitrile. Empirical potential structure refinement modeling procedures have been used to extract detailed structural information about solvent-solven...

Capacitor-couple technique used to lower snapbacktrigger voltage and to ensure uniform ESD current distribution in deep-submicron CMOS on-chip ESD protection circuit is proposed. The coupling capacitor is realized by a poly layer right under the wire-bonding metal pad without increasing extra layout area to the pad. A timing-original design model has been derived to calculate the capacitor-coup...

A plastic crystal, solid electrolyte was prepared by mixing tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate salt, (C4H9)4-NPF6, (10 molar %) with succinonitrile, SCN, (N≡C−CH2−CH2−C≡N), [SCN-10%TBA-PF6]. The resultant waxy material shows a plastic crystalline phase that extends from −36°C up to its melting at 23°C. It shows a high ionic conductivity reaching 4×10-5 S/cm in the plastic crystal phase (15°...

-Multilayer ceramic chip capacitor CDR-05 (MIL part number) is one of the most used parts in ISRO’s satellite program. Cracks evolved in ceramic chip capacitors CDR-05 (size: 1825and dielectric: X7R) of two different makesduring soldering process are studied in this paper. It has been observed that CDR-05 capacitors of one particular make (Manufacturer-A) more prone to crack during soldering on...

Electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) that store electrical energy in the interface between an electrolyte and a solid electrode are favorable storage systems demonstrate high-power density, excellent cycle stability, low environmental impact. To increase operating voltage improve capacitance of EDLCs, it is essential to investigate relationship degradation process structural properties acti...

An aqueous metal ion capacitor comprising of a zinc anode, oxidized carbon nanotubes (oCNTs) cathode, and a zinc sulfate electrolyte is reported. Since the shuttling cation is Zn2+, this typical metal ion capacitor is named as zinc-ion capacitor (ZIC). The ZIC integrates the divalent zinc stripping/plating chemistry with the surface-enabled pseudocapacitive cation adsorption/desorption on oCNTs...
