The applications of Li-ion batteries in the electronics and vehicle industry is increasing at a very rapid pace. This is primarily due to superior properties such as high specific energy storage and power as well as wider operation temperature ranges. Additional potential for improved properties is connected to capacity losses with time and the the...
Electron dynamics and plasma-infusion are crucial for understanding plasma and materialrecycling, cooling, and the plasma-material interactions (PMI) for plasma facing surfaces for applications such as fusion energy and space propulsion. Notably, we have shown that new materials such as volumetrically complex materials (VCMs) can improve plasma dev...

Owning to limited supply of lithium for Li-ion batteries, the development of non-Li-ion batteries (such as Na+, K+ Mg2+, Ca2+, and Al3+ ion batteries) has attracted significant research interest. In this work, by means of the first-principles calculations, we systematically investigated the performance of chalcogenide-terminated MXenes Ti2CT2 (T = ...

Objective. Basic, translational and clinical neuroscience are increasingly focusing on large-scale invasive recordings of neuronal activity. However, in large animals such as nonhuman primates and humans—in which the larger brain size with sulci and gyri imposes additional challenges compared to rodents, there is a huge unmet need to record from hu...

Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a good alternative for assessing total body water in newborns. However, the lack of standardization of the method for its use in the neonatal population raises doubts about its reliability and external validation. To compare resistance (R) and reactance (Xc) values measured by BIA with electrodes placed in ...
Uporovno točkovno varjenje bakra v praksi predstavlja velik izziv, saj je baker eden od najboljših električnih in toplotnih prevodnikov, kar neugodno vpliva na generiranje toplote v zvarni coni. Pri aplikaciji zatesnitve bakrene cevi imamo opravka tudi s plastično deformacijo stene, ki lahko povzroči razpoke v materialu na mestu preoblikovanja. V d...

We report high-current density operating alkaline (water) electrolyzers (AELs) based on platinum on Vulcan (Pt/C) cathodes and stainless-steel anodes. By optimizing the binder (Nafion ionomer) and Pt mass loading (mPt) content in the catalysts coating at the cathode side, the AEL can operate at the following (current density, voltage, energy effici...
This paper presents the evaluation of some electrodes based on polymeric conductive membranes (polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG)) for sensor applications. The electrodes were developed using textile support (weave structure-based 100% cotton yarns) and applying conductive membrane layers deposited...
Cost-effective, simple, and easily reproducible synthesis methods of polymers are of profound significance when it comes to extracting high battery performance metrics from polymeric redox-active materials. This work reports a procedure for the solvothermal synthesis of a poly(hydroquinonyl-benzoquinonyl sulfide) (PHBQS) polymer and the development...
