Abstract A transimpedance amplifier circuit as well as an instrumental amplifier circuit were used to measure current densities of a zinc-air battery with an integrated segmented current collector foil. Error calculation showed that the transimpedance amplifier is superior to the used instrumental amplifier, but both methods provide valuable and consistent results. They both showed comparable results with operando insight into the current distribution of the battery. The knowledge about those distributions is essential to avoid fast degradation of battery materials and irreversible capacity loss due to heterogeneous dissolution of the anode during discharge. In this work we showed that oxygen starvation as well as gas flow rate leads to large current gradients. It was also demonstrated that heterogeneous current distributions on cathode side induces also a heterogenous dissolution behavior on the anode, resulting in irreversible capacity loss.

We report an effective approach to fabricate layered-spinel capped nanotube assembled 3D Li-rich hierarchitectures as a cathode material for Li-ion batteries. The resultant material exhibits a reduced first-cycle irreversible capacity loss, rapid Li-ion diffusion rate and excellent cycle stability.

In this work a simple double beam spectrophotometer detector for the nucleic acid detection has been designed. The developed system contains photodiodes as a sensor, logarithamatic transimpedance amplifier circuit and filter circuit.The developed prototype design accuracy is validated by running a RNA sample and the result shows that our simplified developed setup detects the present of RNA in the sample.

Natural graphite anodes were treated by different methods to improve their cyclability. We tried following methods; heat-treatment at 550oC for graphite powder, addition of carbon black for electrode and VC (vinylene carbonate) in electrolyte. All methods decreased capacity fade rate during constant cycling. The addition of carbon black decreased capacity fade significantly but increased irreversible capacity much at first cycle. Heat-treatment and VC were also effective for cycling and irreversible capacity loss.
