This work elucidates the manufacturing of lithium titanate (Li4Ti5O12, LTO) electrodes via the aqueous process using sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), guar gum (GG) or pectin as binders. To avoid aluminum current collector dissolution due to the rising slurries’ pH, phosphoric acid (PA) is used as a pH-modifier. The electrodes are characterized in terms of morphology, adhesion strength and e...

We study a relativistic plasma containing charged chiral fermions in an external electric field. We show that with the presence of both vector and axial charge densities, the electric field can induce an axial current along its direction and thus cause chirality separation. We call it the chiral electric separation effect (CESE). On a very general basis, we argue that the strength of CESE is pr...

the shape of a solar collector is an important factor in solar-to-thermal energy conversion. conical shape is one of the stationary and symmetric shapes that can be employed as a solar water heater. flow rate of working fluid on the solar collector has an important effect on the efficiency of the collector. the present study is an experimentally investigated of the performance of the solar coni...
