Phase transition, electrochemistry, and structural studies of high rate Lix V3O8 cathode with nanoplate morphology

Structural and kinetic behavior of lithium-vanadium-oxide (LixV3O8) cathode is studied as lithium-ion battery electrode. The morphology of LixV3O8is found to be nanoplates with nanorods as minor constituents.

Infiltration velocity and thickness of flowing slag film on porous regractory of slagging gasifiers

Two analytical formulations that describe the fluid interactions of slag with the porous refractory linings of gasification reactors have been derived. The first formulation considers the infiltration velocity of molten slag into the porous microstructure of the refractory material that possesses an inherent temperature gradient in the direction of infiltration. Capillary pressures are assumed to be the primary driving force for the infiltration.

Analytical derivation of equivalent functional form of explicit J–V model of an illuminated solar cell from physics based implicit model

Recently a simple explicit model was introduced to represent theJVcharacteristics of an illuminated solar cell with parasitic resistances and bias dependent photocurrent asj=(1vm)/(1+αv), here the normalized voltage,vand normalized current densityjcan be represented asv=V/V
