11/17/2014Determinant Factor of Cell Performance
The SOFC group developed a novel method that embeds Pt voltage probes into triple-phase boundary, and initiatively obtained the unit cell with inner voltage probes. The quantitative contributions of the anode, the cathode, and the electrolyte to cell performance were also investigated and found:(1)The cell output performance was determined by the property of electrode/elect...
11/10/2014Novel Antireflection Coatings Featuring Hollow Nanostructures for Photovoltaic Applications -A recipe for antireflection coatings with high transparency and long-term durability
Antireflection (AR) coatings on photovoltaic glass with high transparency and long-term durability are highly desired not only for conventional crystalline silicon modules, but also thin-film modules. Researchers have made continuous progress in developing such AR coatings.
11/10/2014Colorimetric Detection and Efficient Removal of Heavy Metallic Ions
The research group led by Prof. Aiguo Wu developed a rapid qualitative and quantitative detection of small molecules of cysteine by silver nanoprisms, through anti-etching mechanism. The detection limit reached 10 nM.
11/05/2014Single-Step Laser Precision Manufacturing Process for 3D Irregular Holes
Prof. Wenwu Zhang’s Group developed a single-step laser precision manufacturing process for 3D irregular holes. The research achievement has great significance in improving gas film cooling hole processing technology for aircraft engines.
03/26/2014Patterned Ni-P Alloy Films Prepared by “Reducing-Discharging” Process and the Hydrophobic Property
In 2013, Prof. Xuedong Wu’s Group at NIMTE prepared Patterned tailored hydrophobic films designed by synergy effect of electrochemical deposition and chemical deposition. The film morphology changes and the roughness of film surfaces gradually become bigger with the increased solution temperature. The gradually increased film roughness leads to the film’s hydrophobicity c...
