Abstract Zn powder is considered as a potential metal anode for aqueous Zn‐ion batteries. However, restricted ion/electron transfer and volume effect‐caused electrical contact failure in conventional polymer binder composited anodes deteriorate their electrochemical performance. Here, high‐performance soft solid‐like viscoelastic composite proposed based on an oligomer gluing strategy. Benefiti...

Innovative rechargeable batteries that can effectively store renewable energy, such as solar and wind power, urgently need to be developed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. All-solid-state batteries with inorganic solid electrolytes and electrodes are promising power sources for a wide range of applications because of their safet...

As freon is limited in its use as a generator for aerosol inhalation, powder particles are used as an alternative for inhalation therapy. The pulmonary deposition and clearance of inhaled powder particles was studied by positron emission tomography (PET) in ten patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and in five normal controls. The powder, 5 microm in mean diameter, was wate...

Preparation and investigation of several metal ion complexes with 4dimethylaminobenzylidenepyruvate (DMBP), 2choro-4-dimethylaminobenzylidenepyruvate (2-ClDMBP), 4-metoxybenzylidenepyruvate (4-MeOBP), cynnamylidenepyruvate (CP) have been investigated in aqueous solution [5-8, 13, 17]. In the solid state, several metal-ion complexes with DMBP, 4-MeO-BP and CP, have also been prepared and investi...

This literature survey is performed as a part of the Philips Solid state course It deals with powder formation in silane contain ing plasma s In recent studies substantial progress has been made A detailed powder formation mechanism has evolved which also accounts for the occurence of a so called tran sition Based on the understanding of the particle formation mechanism and the dynamics of part...

The insolubilization of cadmium in the soil of a naturally cadmium-contaminated paddy field was studied using an atomized iron powder and an extracting reagent. Cadmium in the soil was extracted into the water phase by calcium chloride. The extracted cadmium was deposited on the iron powder. The deposition of cadmium was significantly influenced by calcium chloride, since the surface area of th...

Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) is an additive manufacturing process with capabilities that include: producing new part directly from 3 Dimensional Computer Aided Design (3D CAD) model, building new part on the existing old component and repairing an existing high valued component parts that would have been discarded in the past. With all these capabilities and its advantages over other additive m...

Nano-fabrication technologies for patterned structures made from thin films are reviewed. A classification is made to divide the patterning technologies in two groups namely with and without the using a mask. The more traditional methods as well as a few new methods are discussed al in relation with the application. As mask less methods we discussed direct patterning with ions including FIB, na...

In previous work we reported investigations on the acceleration of shock waves by energy deposition and a heavy-ion scenario for an experimental investigation of this effect. This has recently been complemented by additional analytic results. A heavy ion beam gives the unique opportunity to create a scenario in which a running shock wave experiences almost homogeneous energy deposition in both ...
