This study demonstrates the application of the composite of multi-walled carbon nanotube polyvinylchloride (MWCNT-PVC) based on Bismarck Brown R for gallium sensor. MWCNT has a role to enhance the hydrophobicity of the membrane, which leads to a more stable potential signal. In addition by applying polypyrrol on the surface of this sensor a reduction in the drift of potential occurred and equilibrium potential was achieved faster. Compared to previous studies, using a stainless steel disc instead of a wire electrode causes to obtain an easily and more homogeneous coated electrode. The sensor shows a good Nernstian slope of 19.70?±?0.37?mV?decade?1 in a wide linear range concentration of 1.0?×?10?7 to 1.0?×?10?2?M of Ga(NO3)3. The detection limit of this electrode was 7.7?×?10?8?M of Ga(NO3)3. This proposed sensor is applicable in a wide pH range of 2 to 8. It has a short response time of about 8?s and has a good selectivity over twenty four various metal ions. The practical analytical utility of this electrode is demonstrated by measurement of Ga(III) in rock and different water samples. 相似文献
The hydrogen adsorption (storage) studies upon Ni/A1203 nano-composite prepared by metal organic chemical vapor deposition technique (MOCVD) exploiting single source molec ular precursor (SSP) approach were carried out. The Ni/A1203 nano-composite is prepared in cold walled MOCVD reactor by the decomposition of SSP, [H2AI(OtBu)]2, on a substrate holding Ni(acac)2 powder. The SSP is a reducing agent which reduces Ni+2 to Ni0 and works as source for Al203 matrix in which the Ni0 is dispersed. The resulting Ni/A1203 nano-composite is characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, and EDX. The hydrogen adsorption (storage) studies are performed using home-made Sievert's type apparatus. The hydrogen storage studies reveal that approximately 2.9% (mass ratio) hydrogen can be stored in the Ni/A1203 nano-composite. The results show that Ni/A1203 nano-composite can be a po- tential candidate for hydrogen storage which can be used for onboard fuel purposes. 相似文献
Using a minimal-coupling-scheme we investigate the quantum Brownian motion of a particle in an anisotropic-dissipative-medium under the influence of an arbitrary potential in both relativistic and non-relativistic regimes. A general quantum Langevin equation is derived and explicit expressions for quantum-noise and dynamical variables of the system are obtained. The equations of motion for the canonical variables are solved explicitly and an expression for the radiation-reaction of a charged particle in the presence of a dissipative-medium is obtained. Some examples are given to elucidate the applicability of this approach. 相似文献
To analyze the input/output behavior of simulation models with multiple responses, we may apply either univariate or multivariate Kriging (Gaussian process) metamodels. In multivariate Kriging we face a major problem: the covariance matrix of all responses should remain positive-definite; we therefore use the recently proposed “nonseparable dependence” model. To evaluate the performance of univariate and multivariate Kriging, we perform several Monte Carlo experiments that simulate Gaussian processes. These Monte Carlo results suggest that the simpler univariate Kriging gives smaller mean square error. 相似文献
Bottom emitting organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) can suffer from lower external quantum efficiencies (EQE) due to inefficient out‐coupling of the generated light. Herein, it is demonstrated that the current efficiency and EQE of red, yellow, and blue fluorescent single layer polymer OLEDs is significantly enhanced when a MoOx(5 nm)/Ag(10 nm)/MoOx(40 nm) stack is used as the transparent anode in a top emitting OLED structure. A maximum current efficiency and EQE of 21.2 cd/A and 6.7%, respectively, was achieved for a yellow OLED, while a blue OLED achieved a maximum of 16.5 cd/A and 10.1%, respectively. The increase in light out‐coupling from the top‐emitting OLEDs led to increase in efficiency by a factor of up to 2.2 relative to the optimised bottom emitting devices, which is the best out‐coupling reported using solution processed polymers in a simple architecture and a significant step forward for their use in large area lighting and displays. 相似文献
Nanocomposites of polyaniline(PANI) and the macrocycle thiacalix[4]arene tetra sulfonate(TCAS) were successfully synthesized in feed ratios of 1:0.25, 1:0.50 and 1:0.75 by three prevail synthetic methods, i.e. in situ polymerization, emulsion polymerization and solution casting technique. The structures of the nanocomposites were confirmed by FTIR, UV-Vis, XRD, SEM, and TEM techniques. The conductivity was measured by a four probe method. The conductivity was recorded to be as high as 105 × 10 2S cm 1for the nanocomposite with a nanometer size structure and homogeneously distributed morphology. The electroactivity of the nanocomposites was approved by cyclic voltammetry(CV) and impedance spectroscopy technique(EIS). The antioxidant ability and thermal property of the composites were further studied. Preliminary studies have evidenced the production of conductive nanocomposites with good thermal property and relatively good solubility in N-methyl 2-pyrrolidone(NMP), with the antioxidant activity reaching up to 80%. 相似文献
In the present article, a terminal sliding mode control strategy has been proposed in order to address the synchronization problem for a class of perturbed nonlinear systems with fixed convergence time and input quantization. The proposed protocol guarantees the fixed-time convergence of the sliding manifold to the origin, which means that the convergence time of the proposed sliding manifold does not change on the variations of initial values, different from typical control methods. Here, the hysteresis quantizer, as a specific type of quantizer with nonlinear sector-bounded, is applied in order to quantize the input signal. The proposed quantized control scheme vigorously prevents the potential adverse chattering phenomenon which is experienced in the common quantization methods. The proposed controller does not need the limiting criteria related to considered parameters of quantization compared to recent control approaches. Finally, the designed controller is implemented on the perturbed Genesio–Tesi (G–T) chaotic systems to verify effectiveness and strength of the proposed method.
