We develop a model for a regenerative hydrogen-chlorine fuel cell (rHCFC) including four voltage loss mechanisms: hydrogen electrode activation, chlorine electrode activation, chlorine electrode mass transport, and ohmic loss through the membrane. The dependences of each of these losses as a function of two “operating parameters,” acid concentration and temperature; and five “engineering parame...

INTRODUCTION Tremulous jaw movement (TJMs) in rats can be induced pharmacologically by striatal dopaminergic manipulation or electrolytic lesion of ventrolateral striatum (VLS). This tremor has neurochemical, anatomical and electromyographic (EMG) characteristics similar to those of tremor in Parkinson patients. However, the EMG characteristics of tremors generated by electrolytic lesion to the...

In the present study, the effect of the medial septal (MS) lesions on exploratory activity in the open field and the spatial and object recognition memory has been investigated. This experiment compares three types of MS lesions: electrolytic lesions that destroy cells and fibers of passage, neurotoxic - ibotenic acid lesions that spare fibers of passage but predominantly affect the septal nonc...

In a previous study involving the inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation in brain mitochondria by electrical currents, it was observed that the effect varied with the kind of conductive substance used in the construction of the electrode (Abood, 1954). Electrodes constructed of either gold or an alloy of silver and gold were most effective, while silver and platinum electrodes were least effec...

Water electrolysis is one of the most promising approaches for producing hydrogen. However, it has been hindered by sluggishness anodic oxygen evolution reaction. In this work, we fabricated Ru-Co-Mn trimetallic alloy nanoparticles on N-doped carbon support (RuCoMn@NC) via pyrolysis-adsorption-pyrolysis process using ZIF-67 as a precursor. The RuCoMn@NC catalyst exhibited excellent electrocatal...

Abstract Electrolysis is the process of decomposition liquid, containing ions by passing electricity through it. This achieved an electrolyzer. An alkaline water electrolyzer uses electrical energy to break chemical bond between hydrogen and oxygen in electrolytic medium. The performance depends upon various parameters like temperature, pressure, ohmic overpotential, activation etc. In this stu...

The constant advance in the development of piezoelectric materials for energy harvesting has demanded new implementations electronics field. property these been considered an source low-power devices; nevertheless, units that provide are usually adapted to just one device. This aspect complicates process, taking into account amount time needed harvest; therefore, this research inquired at first...
