Wearable self-powered biosensors

Wearable self-powered biosensors are devices that operate without an external electronic power source or onboard battery and that use a biorecognition detection element to relay sensing information. Such devices are becoming more widespread following the larger trend of more ubiquitous wearable devices in general. Self-powering can be a particularly important characteristic in situations where replacing/recharging a battery is either impossible or impractical. Most wearable self-powered biosensors rely primarily on enzymatic reactions to supply the energy required for operation, but there are also other innovative approaches that combine multiple signal transduction techniques to simultaneously provide power and produce a detection signal. Areas of needed research include developing higher power energy harvesting techniques and more wearable self-powered biosensor devices that have integrated low-power wireless electronics.

The Relationship between the Relative Solvating Power of Electrolytes and Shuttling Effect of Lithium Polysulfides in Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

Relative solvating power, that is, the ratio of the coordination ratios between a solvent and the reference solvent, was used to probe the quantitative structure–activity relationship of electrolyte solvents and the lithium polysulfide (LiPS) dissolution in lithium–sulfur batteries. Internally referenced diffusion‐ordered nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (IR‐DOSY) was used to determine the diffusion coefficient and coordination ratio, from which the relative solvating power can be easily measured. The higher the relative solvating power of an ethereal solvent, the more severe will be the LiPS dissolution and the lower the coulombic efficiency of the lithium–sulfur battery. A linear relationship was established between the logarithm of relative solvating power of a solvent and the degree of LiPS dissolution, rendering relative solvating power an important parameter in choosing the electrolyte solvent for lithium–sulfur batteries.     

Nanostructured Electrodes for High‐Performance Pseudocapacitors

The depletion of traditional energy resources as well as the desire to reduce high CO₂ emissions associated with energy production means that energy storage is now becoming more important than ever. New functional electrode materials are urgently needed for next‐generation energy storage systems, such as supercapacitors or batteries, to meet the ever increasing demand for higher energy and power densities. Advances in nanotechnology are essential to meet those future challenges. It is critical to develop ways of synthesizing new nanomaterials with enhanced properties or combinations of properties to meet future challenges. In this Minireview we discuss several important recent studies in developing nanostructured pseudocapacitor electrodes, and summarize three major parameters that are the most important in determining the performance of electrode materials. A technique to optimize these parameters simultaneously and to achieve both high energy and power densities is also introduced.     

Separation of63Ni traces from low and medium level radioactive wastes produced during the operation of nuclear power reactors

Current progress in membranes for fuel cells and reverse electrodialysis

The deterioration of the environmental situation has led to the need to restructure the world’s power industry, and clean renewable power sources are coming to the forefront. This review deals with recent advances in the development of promising ion-exchange membrane materials for two types of application that have been intensely developing recently, namely, hydrogen energy and reverse electrodialysis. Special attention is paid to the comparison of two properties of membranes, conductivity and selectivity, that are competing but fundamentally important in both areas. Perfluorinated sulfonic acid membranes now play a dominant role in hydrogen power engineering, as they provide not only high proton conductivity but also chemical stability and low gas permeability. The review also covers other types of membrane materials, including anion exchange membranes, polybenzimidazoles and hybrid membranes containing inorganic nanoparticles that have been actively developed in recent years. The milder operating conditions of membranes in reverse electrodialysis units allow one to use less expensive non-perfluorinated membranes, including grafted ones. It is of note that in devices of this type, the selectivity of membranes to the transfer of oppositely charged ions is a more important parameter.     

Nanomaterials for rechargeable lithium batteries

Energy storage is more important today than at any time in human history. Future generations of rechargeable lithium batteries are required to power portable electronic devices (cellphones, laptop computers etc.), store electricity from renewable sources, and as a vital component in new hybrid electric vehicles. To achieve the increase in energy and power density essential to meet the future challenges of energy storage, new materials chemistry, and especially new nanomaterials chemistry, is essential. We must find ways of synthesizing new nanomaterials with new properties or combinations of properties, for use as electrodes and electrolytes in lithium batteries. Herein we review some of the recent scientific advances in nanomaterials, and especially in nanostructured materials, for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.

The effect of surface wettability on induction and growth of neurites from the PC-12 cell on a polymer surface

Surface properties of polymeric devices that are used to regenerate nervous damage are a point to be considered for axon regeneration in nerve system. In our previous studies, we prepared a wettability gradient on polyethylene (PE) surfaces using a corona discharge treatment from a knife-type electrode whose power increases gradually along the sample length. The PE surfaces were oxidized gradually with increasing power. The effect of surface wettability on the different types of cells has an important role for cell adhesion and proliferation. The purpose of this study is to investigate neurite formation on polymer surfaces with different wettability. Induction and growth of neurites from the rat pheochromocytoma (PC-12) cells attached on the polymer surfaces with different hydrophilicity were investigated using the wettability gradient PE surfaces prepared by a corona discharge treatment. Neurites were investigated for number and length of neurites in terms of surface wettability. It was observed that neurite formation of PC-12 cells was increased more onto the positions with moderate hydrophilicity of the wettability gradient surface than onto the more hydrophobic or hydrophilic positions. From those results, it could be assumed that initial adhesion of PC-12 cells was caused by more calf serum (CS) protein than nerve growth factor (NGF), whereas the neurite formation of PC-12 cells was caused by more NGF than CS protein. It follows from what has been said thus far that PC-12 cells are a differentiated neuronal phenotype with a long neurite at around the position 2.5 cm (water contact angle of about 55 deg). In conclusion, surface wettability plays an important role for neurite formation on the polymer surfaces for axon regeneration.
