Titanium and some of its alloys exhibit excellent anti-corrosive and biocompatibility properties due to rapid formation of a passive film on their surfaces when exposed to the atmosphere. However, such materials present ...

Rechargeable solid-state batteries have long been considered an attractive power source for a wide variety of applications, and in particular, lithium-ion batteries are emerging as the technology of choice for portable ...

This paper analyses the electrocatalytic performance of a 60%NiO/Ce0.9Zr0.1O2 anode under reducing atmospheres, using a symmetric cell configuration, [anode/electrolyte/anode], with Samaria doped Ceria (SDC) as electrolyte. ...

Graphite, the usual anode material for current technology of lithium ion batteries (LIB), has great advantages and its processing is widely known and industrially feasible. For improving the anode's capacity, recent research ...

This study aims to review novel materials for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) applications covered in literature. Thence, it was found that current SOFC operating conditions lead to issues, such as carbon surface deposition, ...

Porous TiO2 coatings were obtained by anodic oxidation in spark discharge conditions, varying the range of current density (200-3000 A m−2) and the electrolyte concentration (H2SO4; 1 and 4 M). The samples were characterized ...
