Abstract Controlled breakdown has recently emerged as a highly accessible technique to fabricate solid-state nanopores. However, in its most common form, controlled creates single nanopore at an arbitrary location the membrane. Here, we introduce new strategy whereby is performed by applying electric field between on-chip electrode and electrolyte solution contact with opposite side of We demon...

We have developed highly efficient, ambient temperature, solid-state ionic conductors (SSICs) for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) by doping a molecular plastic crystal, succinonitrile (SN), with trialkyl-substituted imidazolium iodide salts. High performance SSICs with enhanced ionic conductivity (2-4 mScm⁻¹) were obtained. High performance solid-state DSSCs with power conversion efficiency ...

Zero-current ion-flux has a great influence on the characteristics of the ion-selective electrodes. In this work the improvement of analytical performance of all-solid-state Pb(2+)-selective membrane electrodes was demonstrated by adjusting the transmembrane ion flux. The study is focused on the relationship between the conditioning solution and the linear working range of the obtained electrod...

The governing reaction mechanisms, and the electrode material compositions and structures, that controls the efficiency of the solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC) need to be identified and well-understood for significant technological improvements. Our study on the oxygen electrodes focuses on specifically the effect of electrode crystal structure and morphol...

Room temperature electrochemical deposition of transition metal chalcogenide (MoSx) on 3D-printed nanocarbon fibers based electrodes for custom shaped solid-state supercapacitor.

objectives: scaling and root planing (srp) is one of the most commonly used procedures during periodontal treatment. the aim of this study was to evaluate the root surface roughness after srp with erbium: yttrium aluminum garnet (er:yag) laser compared to ultrasonic and hand instruments.   materials and methods: in this experimental study, 56 extracted sound single-rooted teeth with moderate le...

background and objectives: bacillus species are attractive industrial organisms due to their rapid growth rates leading to a short fermentation cycle and for their capacity to secrete important enzymes and proteins such as xylanase into the extracellular medium. considering the industrial importance of xylanase, in this current study, bacillus spp. were isolated from different soils and were sc...

In the field of spintronics, the archetype solid-state two-terminal device is the spin valve, where the resistance is controlled by the magnetization configuration. We show here how this concept of spin-dependent switch can be extended to magnetic electrodes in solution, by magnetic control of their chemical environment. Appropriate nanoscale design allows a huge enhancement of the magnetic for...
