FIELD-DIRECTED FABRICATION OF HIERARCHICAL STRUCTURES TOWARD ELECTROCHEMICAL APPLICATIONS
Balram, Anirudh; 0000-0002-8755-6663 (2017-08-25)The ubiquity of hierarchical structures in nature indicates an inherent advantage to having morphological features comprised of multiple length scales. Such structures help maximize interfacial surface area, allowing for ... -
Micro/Nanoencapsulated Phase Change Materials (PCMs) toward High Temperature Thermal Energy Storage Applications
Zhang, Hanfei; 0000-0001-6595-396X (2017-08-25)Thermal energy is one of the most important renewable energy sources because of its abundancy. However, despite the long history of people practically trying to harvest thermal energy, the efficiency of thermal energy ... -
THE EFFECT OF CONTROLLED NANOMATERIAL DEPOSITION TOWARDS ELECTRODES FOR MICROBIAL FUEL CELLS AND ELECTROLYSIS CELLS
Steinhoff, Bryan Dennis (2019-08-19)Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) and microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) are relatively new energy harvesting technologies that utilize the bacteria in wastewater or other organic-rich aqueous media to produce either electricity ... -
Thermally charging capacitor: A new protocol to accurately measure the thermoelectric potential
Phalak, Amit (2022-12-20)Harvesting energy from waste heat would benefit in creating sustainable systems. Specifically, thermoelectric energy conversion can be used for low-grade waste heat recovery. However, the efficiency of conventional solid-state ...
