The effect of the evaporation rate on electrochemical measurements with paper-based analytical devices and its minimisation by enclosure with adhesive tape
(Elsevier, 2019-02-15)
In this work, the effect of liquid evaporation on electrochemical measurements with electrochemical paper-based devices (ePADs) is studied. The time evolution of cyclic voltammograms of ferricyanide is used to study the ...
All-in-One Gel-Based Electrochromic Devices: Strengths and Recent Developments
(MDPI, 2018-03-10)
Electrochromic devices (ECDs) have aroused great interest because of their potential
applicability in displays and smart systems, including windows, rearview mirrors, and helmet
visors. In the last decades, different ...
Improved Thermal Insulating Properties of Renewable Polyol Based Polyurethane Foams Reinforced with Chicken Feathers
(MDPI, 2019-12-03)
In the present work, sustainable rigid polyurethane foams (RPUF) reinforced with chicken
feathers (CF) were prepared and characterized. The bio-based polyol used to formulate the foams
was obtained from castor oil. This ...
Fully Biodegradable Biocomposites with High Chicken Feather Content
(MDPI, 2017-11-09)
The aim of this work was to develop new biodegradable polymeric materials with high
loadings of chicken feather (CF). In this study, the effect of CF concentration and the type of
biodegradable matrix on the physical, ...
Build-To-Specification Vanillin and Phloroglucinol Derived Biobased Epoxy-Amine Vitrimers
(MDPI, 2020-10-22)
Epoxy resins are widely used in the composite industry due to their dimensional stability,
chemical resistance, and thermo-mechanical properties. However, these thermoset resins have
important drawbacks. (i) The vast ...
Aero Grade Epoxy Vitrimer towards Commercialization
(MDPI, 2022-08-04)
Traditional crosslinked aero grade epoxy resins have excellent thermal-mechanical properties
and solvent resistance, but they cannot be remolded, recycled, or repaired. Vitrimers can be
topologically rearranged via an ...
Digitalization of Battery Manufacturing: Current Status, Challenges, and Opportunities
(WILEY, 2021-12-09)
As the world races to respond to the diverse and expanding demands for electrochemical energy storage solutions, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) remain the most advanced technology in the battery ecosystem. Even as unprecedented ...
Influence of the Ambient Storage of LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 Powder and Electrodes on the Electrochemical Performance in Li-ion Technology
(MDPI, 2022-07-28)
Nickel-rich LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 (NMC811) is one of the most promising Li-ion battery cathode materials and has attracted the interest of the automotive industry. Nevertheless, storage conditions can affect its properties ...
Enhanced Biodegradability in Soil of Chicken Feather by Steam Explosion for Potential Application in Agricultural Biodegradable Plastics
(MDPI, 2023-09-08)
Feather waste is a major issue from an economic and environmental point of view. Even
though there are already routes for the valorisation of feathers into fertilisers and feather meal, these
are considered to have low ...
From Lab to Manufacturing Line: Guidelines for the Development and Upscaling of Aqueous Processed NMC622 Electrodes
(The Electrochemical Society, 2023-01-24)
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have facilitated the transition to a more sustainable energy model. Paradoxically, current high energy cathodes are industrially processed using organic solvents, which are deleterious for the ...
