Studies On Polymer Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells ——Introduction Of The Studies On The Electrochemistry Of Conducting Polymers In Cas Key Laboratory Of Organic Solids (Ⅱ), Yong-Fang Li

Journal of Electrochemistry

Polymer light-emitting electrochemical cell (LEC) is composed of a conjugated polymer(CP)/polymer electrolyte blend film sandwiched between an ITO anode and an Al cathode. When a bias voltage greater than Eg/e (where Eg is the energy gap of the CP, e is the electron charge) is applied on the two electrodes, the CP in the polymer blend film at the anode side will be oxidized (to form a p-doped region), and that at the cathode side will be reduced (to form a n-doped region), then a p-i-n junction will be produced. Light-emission occurs in the intrinsic region between the p- and …


A Study Of Metal Borides As High Capacity Anode Materials For Aqueous Primary Batteries, Ya-Dong Wang, Xin-Ping Ai, Han-Xi Yang Feb 2005

A Study Of Metal Borides As High Capacity Anode Materials For Aqueous Primary Batteries, Ya-Dong Wang, Xin-Ping Ai, Han-Xi Yang

Journal of Electrochemistry

The transition metal borides VB2 and TiB2 were tested as high capacity anode materials and their electrochemical behaviors were studied by cyclic voltammetry and discharge measurements. The experimental results indicated that transition metal borides VB2 and TiB2 electrodes can deliver exceptionally high discharge capacity of over 3100 mAh/g and 1 600 mAh/g respectively, corresponding to 11- and 6-electron oxidation reaction, although their parent elements V, Ti and boron, are almost completely electrochemically inert. The different electrochemical activitis were probably due to the electrochemical activation of boron, which clamp the potential to passivation for Ti and activity …

Journal of Electrochemistry

The cyclic voltammetry curves of sulfide mineral electrodes or corresponding carbon paste electrodes in NaCl electrolytes have been obtained in this study. The experimental results indicate that acetylene black (revealed) the electro-catalytic propertyin the electrogenerative-leaching process of sulfide minerals. The output currentand potential of carbon paste electrodes were increased to some degrees while the activation energies were lower.

Preparation Of Poly (Bromophenol Blue) Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode And Its Electrocatalytic Activity, Wei Chen, Hong-Bin Luo, Xin-Hua Lin

Journal of Electrochemistry

A film of poly (bromophenol blue) was formed on a glassy carbon electrode by using cyclic voltammetry. A stable film could be obtained with a potential range from -1.0 V to +1.8 V (vs.Ag/AgCl). The experimental results showed that the poly (bromophenol blue) modified glassy carbon electrode could catalyse the oxidation of ascorbic acid. It decreased the oxidation potential by about 270mV but increased the peak current. Meanwhile, this electrode showed a good linear current response for the ascorbic acid range from 2.5 to 250 (g/mL).

Research On Phenol Wastewater Treatment By Electrochemical Oxidation, Tian-Cheng Li, Shen-Lin Zhu

Journal of Electrochemistry

Electrochemical oxidation is an effective technology for the phenol wastewater treatment, and the anode properties are important to the electrochemical oxidationefficiency. The over-potentials of oxygen evolution have been measured for thestainless steel, feasible graphite and SnO2/Ti anode respectively. Moreover, the synthetic phenol wastewater was treated by the electrochemical oxidation with the stainless steel or feasible graphite anodes. The experimental results showed that the order of the over-potential is SnO2/Ti > graphite > stainless steel; meanwhile, the COD values of purified water were approaching to or less than 100 mg·L-1, and the phenol concentrations in the purified …

Results of the investigation of the operation of explosive-driven high-voltage shock wave ferromagnetic generators (FMGs) in the open circuit and charging modes are presented. FMGs are based on the transverse (when the shock wave propagates across the magnetization vector M) shock demagnetization of Nd2Fe14B hard ferromagnetic energy-carrying elements of diameter 2.22 cm and length 2.54 cm (volume 8.5 cm3). In the charging mode the capacitance of capacitor banks compatt was varied from 18 to 36 nF. The energy transferred to the capacitor bank reached 0.38 J. FMGs provided pulsed powers of 35-45 kW in times ranging from 10 to 15 …

Power Analysis And Optimization Techniques For Energy Efficient Computer Systems, Wissam Chedid, Chansu Yu, Ben Lee

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

Reducing power consumption has become a major challenge in the design and operation of to-day’s computer systems. This chapter describes different techniques addressing this challenge at different levels of system hardware, such as CPU, memory, and internal interconnection network, as well as at different levels of software components, such as compiler, operating system and user applications. These techniques can be broadly categorized into two types: Design time power analysis versus run-time dynamic power management. Mechanisms in the first category use ana-lytical energy models that are integrated into existing simulators to measure the system’s power consumption and thus help engineers to …

An electrical breakdown model for liquids in response to a submicrosecond(∼100ns) voltage pulse is presented, and quantitative evaluations carried out. It is proposed that breakdown is initiated by field emission at the interface of pre-existing microbubbles. Impact ionization within the microbubble gas then contributes to plasma development, with cathode injection having a delayed and secondary role. Continuous field emission at the streamer tip contributes to filament growth and propagation. This model can adequately explain almost all of the experimentally observed features, including dendritic structures and fluctuations in the prebreakdown current. Two-dimensional, time-dependent simulations have been carried out based on a …
