Rechargeable Lithium-Oxygen Batteries

Researchers have efficiently resolute two of the utmost exciting issues surrounding lithium-oxygen batteries and in the route made a working battery with almost 100 per cent coulombic effectiveness. The four-electron transformation for lithium-oxygen electrochemistry is highly reversible which couples the electron hoarding of lithium-oxygen, otherwise called lithium-air, batteries.
The high hypothetical vitality thickness of lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries and their moderately light weight have made them the Holy Grail of battery-powered battery frameworks. In any case, long-standing issues with the battery's science and strength have kept interest. Two of the more major issues include the intermediate of the road of the cell chemistry (superoxide, LiO2) and the peroxide item (Li2O2) responding with the permeable carbon cathode, corrupting the cell from inside. Likewise, the superoxide expends the natural electrolyte all the while, which enormously constrains the cycle life.
At the point when natural electrolyte changed to a more steady inorganic liquid salt and the permeable carbon cathode to a bifunctional metal oxide impetus, at that point by working the battery at 150 C, it is discovered that the steadier item Li2O is framed rather than Li2O2. This outcome in an exceptionally reversible Li-oxygen battery with a coulombic productivity moving toward 100 per cent.

By storing O2 as lithium oxide (Li2O) rather than lithium peroxide (Li2O2), the battery not just kept up phenomenal charging qualities, it accomplished the greatest four-electron move in the framework, along these lines expanding the hypothetical vitality storing by 50 per cent.

Novel aspects of Nanotubes

A nanotube is a tubular particle made out of an extensive number of carbon atoms. Nanotubes having a wide range of application in various fields such as Photovoltaic cells , targeted drug delivery, automobile industries, aerospace so on.  Now as per the recent studies, Researchers state that the weak van der Waals forces between the inner surface of the nanotube and the water molecules are strong enough to snap the oxygen and hydrogen atoms into place. In the case of a two-dimensional ice, the molecules freeze regardless of the temperature and research provides valuable insight on ways to leverage atomic interactions between nanotubes and water molecules to fabricate nanochannels and energy-storing nanocapacitors. Scientists built molecular models of carbon and boron nitride nanotubes with adjustable widths. They found boron nitride is best at obliging the state of water when the nanotubes are 10.5 angstroms wide. The scientists definitely realized that hydrogen particle...

Nano indentation for the determination of visco-elastic properties of polymer

For a few periods, circular space has been utilized with the end goal of materials qualities, for example, versatile modulus, hardness and flexible plastic properties. One of the primary drivers for the prevalence of these estimations was that with a spherical indenter and adequately low loads basically flexible distortions could be gotten. The contact issue can be explained generally just by settling understood Hertz conditions and the flexible constants of the material are easily figured. Such thought was extremely productive likewise for assurance of visco-elastic properties of polymers , where low distortions would prompt concealment of the irreversible stream of the material and the visco-versatile properties of the polymer could in this manner be resolved. This would be an incredibly preferred standpoint over as often as possible performed space with Berkovich indenter , where promptly the points of confinement of plastic stream are come to and the distortion is unavoidabl...
