Transcutaneous electrical stimulation is applied in a range of biomedical applications including transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). tDCS is a non-invasive procedure where a weak direct current (<2 mA) is applied across the scalp to modulate brain function. High-definition tDCS (HD-tDCS) is a technique used to increase the spatial focality of tDCS by passing current across the scalp...

Fuel electrode supported microtubular solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) fabricated at ICMA have been characterized in both solid oxide steam electrolyser (SOEC) and fuel cell modes. The cells consists of a fuel electrode supporting tube of Ni/YSZ with 40% porosity, 400 μm thickness, 2.4 mm diameter and 100-150 mm length, a 15 m thick YSZ electrolyte and a 50vol% LSM/YSZ composite air electrode of...

12-molybdophosphoric acid (pmo12) was encaged into hmor zeolite by “ship in a bottle”method in aqueous phase which is strongly retained and not easily leached from the host channels.the solid was characterized by xrd prior to using it for the electrode preparation. this compoundwas incorporated with a carbon paste electrode for cyclic voltammetric measurements. pmo12immobilized on the support u...

The direct electrochemistry of cytochrome c at a gold electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry using, as promoters, microperoxidase (the haem-undecapeptide obtained by hydrolysis of cytochrome c), Fe(III)-protoporphyrin IX or protoporphyrin-IX, all entrapped in a cellulose triacetate membrane. The results indicate that these immobilized systems strongly enhance the rate of electron tran...

All-solid-state sensors with polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-based membranes using off-the-shelf N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) and succinimide (Succ) ionophores were prepared using DOP (dioctyl phthalate) and NPOE (ortho-nitrophenyloctyl ether) as plasticizers. Good responses were obtained when NHS was used. The potentiometric response of the proposed electrode is independent of pH over the range 2-6. Th...

Preparation and performance of a cost effective silver sulfide based bromide selective membrane is described. A solid contact between membrane and body of the electrode was examined as an ion-selective electrode by determining S 2and Br ions by direct potentiometry. A linear response to bromide ion from 2 x 10 -5 to 10 -1 M with a slope of 57.3 mV per decade [Br ] is observed. The membrane has ...

The performance of solid oxide electrolysis (SOE) cells while operating in the natural gas assisted steam electrolysis (NGASE) mode was evaluated. The SOE cells used yttria-stabilized-zirconia (YSZ) as the oxygen ion conducting electrolyte, Co–CeO2–YSZ as the H2–H2O electrode, and Pd-doped CeO2 YSZ source as the CH4-oxidation electrode. The cell electrochemical performance was evaluated as a fu...
