We report on the usage of Carbon Nanowalls (CNW) synthesized by a PECVD process as electrode material for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). In order to substitute the platinum based catalysts in fuel cells, graphene is a promising candidate. Carbon Nanowalls are a graphene modification with good accessibility and a con…

We present a-Si:H/µc-Si:H tandem solar cells on laser textured ZnO:Al front contact layers. Direct pulsed laser interference patterning (DLIP) was used for writing arrays of one-dimensional micro gratings of submicron period into ZnO:Al films. The laser texture provides good light trapping which is indicated by an inc…

Sulfonated carbons were explored as functionalized supports for Ni nanoparticles to hydrodeoxygenate (HDO) phenol. Both hexadecane and water were used as solvents. The dual-functional Ni catalysts supported on sulfonated carbon (Ni/C-SO3H) showed high rates for phenol hydrodeoxygenation in liquid hexadecane, but not i…

The effect of bamboo portions and beating revolution on paper made from Gigantochloa scortechinii was determined. The bamboo was pulped using soda- anthraquinone (AQ) pulping comparing two pulping conditions (alkali 15 & 20%, temperature 160 & 170°C) for different bamboo portions consisted of top, middle and bottom. H…

Low-emitting cotton fabric with low infrared emissivity near to 0.795 at the wavebands of 8–14 µm was prepared using mesoporous carbon-aluminum doped zinc oxide (C-AZO) coatings. The effects of binders, the content of C-AZO composites, coating thickness and roughness of fabrics on the infrared emissivity were investig…

We present theoretical scaling and computational analysis of nanostructured free surfaces formed in chiral liquid crystals (LC) and plant-based twisted plywoods. A nemato-capillary model is used to derive a generalized equation that governs the shape of cholesteric free surfaces. It is shown that the shape equation in…

ABSTRACT The ability for polymers and additives to physically mix in many industrial applications is dictated by a combination of kinetic and thermodynamic factors. The presence of moisture may complicate the mixing performance as water can interact at various degrees with each of the components; this depends on the h…

Zonal flows (ZF) play a crucial role in regulating ion temperature gradient (ITG) turbulence. In previous global gyrokinetic simulations [1] using the ORB5 code with the adiabatic electron model, it was observed that long-lived ZF structures, leading to a corrugated transport and temperature gradient pattern, could de…

Ni‐P\nano‐ZrO2composite coatings were obtained on the AISI 304 steel substrate by the electroless method from a bath containing dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB). This cationic surfactant prevents ZrO2agglomeration in the bath and affects the ZrO2content in the coating, hence it alters functional properties of t…

We calculate the magnetization of the helical metallic surface states of a topological insulator. We account for the presence of a small sub-dominant Schrödinger piece in the Hamiltonian in addition to the dominant Dirac contribution. This breaks particle-hole symmetry. The cross-section of the upper Dirac cone narrow…

Low-velocity dynamic compression tests were carried out to reveal the failure mechanism and the energy absorption capacity of multilayered woven lattice sandwich panels. Dynamic compression coupled with shear deformation results in typical softening deformation after the peak stress. The load–displacement curve is cha…

Abstract The lowest drag shape of fixed volume in Stokes flow has been known for some 40 years. It is front–back symmetric and similar to an American football with ends tangent to a cone of $60^{\circ }$ . The analogous convex axisymmetric shape of fixed surface area, which may be of interest for particle design in ch…
