Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- An innovative solid carbonate-oxide composite and related fuel cell (FC) technology is reported, It was discovered that solid carbonate-ceria composite (SCC) electrolytes were highly conductive with the material conductivity level varying from 0.001 to 0.2 S cm(-1) between 400 and 600 degreesC, and related FCs reached a power density between 200 and 600 mW cm(2) at a Current density of 300-1200 mA cm(-2) in the same temperature region. The SCCs were discovered to possess both oxide-ion (originating from the ceria phase) and proton (from the carbonate phase) conduction. Being an all-solid ceramic FC. the SCC can effectively reduce the material corrosion problem that is serious for the molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs). On the other hand, the innovative FC technology based on the SCC electrolytes developed in this work is similar to solid oxide fuel cells (SOF'Cs) and different from the MCFCs based on their ionic transport and FC processes, which facilitates a development of new type of advanced FC technology.

Inclusive V-0 production cross sections from 920 GeV fixed target proton-nucleus collisions
- 2003
-
In: European Physical Journal C. Particles and Fields. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1434-6044. ; 29:2, s. 181-190
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Inclusive differential cross sections dsigma(pA)/dx(F) and dsigma(pA)/dp(t)(2) for the production of K-S(0), Lambda, and (&ULambda;) over bar particles are measured at HERA in proton-induced reactions on C, Al, Ti, and W targets. The incident beam energy is 920 GeV, corresponding to roots = 41.6 GeV in the proton-nucleon system. The ratios of differential cross sections dsigma(pA)(K-S(0))/dsigma(pA)(Lambda) and dsigma(pA)((&ULambda;) over bar)/dsigma(pA) (Lambda) are measured to be 6.2 +/- 0.5 and 0.66 +/- 0.07, respectively, for x(F) approximate to -0.06. No significant dependence upon the target material is observed. Within errors, the slopes of the transverse momentum distributions da,Ald t also show no significant dependence upon the target material. The dependence of the extrapolated total cross sections sigma(pA) on the atomic mass A of the target material is discussed, and the deduced cross sections per nucleon sigma(pN) are compared with results obtained at other energies.

Measurement of the b(b)over-bar production cross section in 920 GeV fixed-target proton-nucleus collisions
- 2003
-
In: European Physical Journal C. Particles and Fields. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1434-6044. ; 26:3, s. 345-355
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Using the HERA-B detector, the b (b) over bar production cross section has been measured in 920 GeV proton collisions on carbon and titanium targets. The b (b) over bar production was tagged via inclusive bottom quark decays into J/psi by exploiting the longitudinal separation of J/psi --> l(+)l(-) decay vertices from the primary proton-nucleus interaction. Both e(+)e(-) and mu(+)mu(-) channels have been reconstructed and the combined analysis yields the cross section sigma(b (b) over bar) = 32(-12)(+14)(stat) (+6)(-7)(sys) nb/nucleon.

Aggregate manganese Schiff base moieties by terephthalate or acetate : Dinuclear manganese and trinuclear mixed metal Mn-2/Na complexes
- 2003

In: Inorganic Chemistry. - : American Chemical Society (ACS). - 0020-1669 .- 1520-510X. ; 42:11, s. 3540-3548

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A reaction system consisting of terephthalic acid, NaOH, inorganic Mn(II) or Mn(III) salt, and salicylidene alkylimine resulted in dinuclear manganese complexes (salpn)(2)Mn-2(mu-phth)(CH3OH)(2) (1, salpn = N,N'-1,3-propylene-bis(salicylideneiminato); phth = terephthalate dianion), (salen)(2)Mn-2(mu-phth)(CH3OH)(2) (2, salen = N,N'-ethylene-bis(salicylideneiminato)), (salen)(2)Mn-2(mu-phth)(CH3OH)(H2O) (3), and (salen)(2)Mn-2(mu-phth) (4), while the absence of NaOH in the reaction led to a mononuclear Mn complex (salph)Mn(CH3OH)(NO3) (5, salph = N,N'-1,2-phenylene-bis(salicylideneiminato)). In addition, a trinuclear mixed metal complex H{Mn2Na(salpn)(2)(mu-OAc)(2)(H2O)(2)}(OAc)(2) (6) was obtained from the reaction system by using maleic acid instead of terephthalic acid. Five-coordinate Mn ions were found in 4 giving rise to an intermolecular interaction and constructing a one-dimensional linear structure. Antiferromagnetic exchange interactions were observed for 1-3, and a total ferromagnetic exchange of 4 was considered to stem from intermolecular magnetic coupling. H-1 NMR signals of phenolate ring and alkylene (or phenylene) backbone of the diamine are similar to those reported in the literature, and the phth protons are at -2.3 to -10.1 ppm. Studies on structure, bond valence sum analysis, and magnetic properties indicate the oxidation states of the Mn ions in 6 to be +3, which are also indicated by ESR spectra in dual mode. Ferromagnetic exchange interaction between the Mn(III) sites was observed with J = 1.74 cm(-1). A quasireversible redox pair at -0.29V/0.12V has been assigned to the redox of Mn-2(III)/Mn(III)Mn(II), implying the intactness of the complex backbone in solution.

Cost-effective perovskite for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (ITSOFC)
- 2001
-
In: Journal of New Materials for Electrochemical Systems. - 1480-2422. ; 4:4, s. 253-258
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Low lanthanum containing perovskite, Ca0.9La0.1MnO3 (CLM) was synthesized. The material was characterized and examined as a cathode for the intermediate temperature (400 to 650C) solid oxide fuel cell (ITSOFC) applications. ITSOFCs using this cost-effective perovskite as a cathode displayed an excellent cell performance: between 300 and 1500 mA/cm(-2) (100 to 500 mWcm(-2)) for temperatures ranging from 450 to 600 degreesC. The role of AgO as additive to the perovskite has also showed an enhancement in the fuel cell performance.

Electric resistance of single-walled carbon nanotubes under hydrostatic pressure
- 2001
-
In: Solid State Communications. - : Elsevier B.V.. - 0038-1098 .- 1879-2766. ; 118:1, s. 31-36
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The electric resistance of single-walled nanotube mats has been studied systematically under both ambient and high hydrostatic pressures up to 1.5 GPa. Both the temperature dependence of the resistance and the magnetoresistance indicate that electrical transport occurs by variable range hopping, apparently in 2D. We suggest that this unexpected dimensionality arises from a fractal network of tubes and bundles. Under hydrostatic pressure (HP) the resistance still shows 2D variable range hopping and decreases with increasing HP. An irreversible increase in localization length and DOS is induced below 0.5 GPa. The behavior is reversible and due to strong interaction of tubes from 0.5 GPa up to 1.05 GPa. These results indicate that 2D variable range hopping occurs within bundles.
