AbstractSolid-state based battery technology offers, in principle, the largest temperature range (from room temperature to 500 °C) of any battery technology. In fluoride based batteries, the chemical reaction used to create electrical energy is a solid-state reaction of a metal with fluoride anion [1]. Among the various types of solid preparation techniques, the mechanochemical synthesis has been recognized as a powerful route to novel, high-performance, and low-cost materials [2]. Thus, a mixed and highly disordered fluoride phase with retained cubic symmetry can be obtained with a very high Fˉ diffusivity [3].In our group, a series of new electrolytes was developed, namely LaF3-BaF2-KF solid solutions, using mechanosynthesis method. The cubic structure of the product was confirmed by XRD. The nanoscale nature and morphology of the samples were characterized by SEM and TEM. First Solid-state electrochemical cells were built with LiF based composite cathode, LaF3-BaF2-KF derived electrolyte and Fe based composite anode.

General Electric (G.E.) and Picker generators are currently installed in many research laboratories all over the United States. These units are old and do not satisfy the modern requirements for X-ray generators. Instabilities of high voltage and tube current complicate the experiment. To maintain G.E. and Picker generators is becoming more and more expensive due to the high cost of vacuum tubes and replacement parts. To replace old generators with new high performance commercial units can cost even more and requires additional adaptations. In the present paper another alternative is proposed, which assumes the replacement of vacuum tube mA and KV controls with solid state circuits using the old G.E. or Picker high voltage transformers. This alternative allows rejuvenation of old generators without difficulties of reinstallation and does not require adaptations to the existing experimental X-ray equipment. The combination of old high voltage transformers with modern solid state control devices provides high performance at low cost. For this purpose the control device was designed and is described below.

Thermoelectrics enables thermal and electrical energy conversion or device cooling without any moving parts. It has remained a significant challenge to manufacture compact and high performance thermoelectric modules in a large volume using the conventional methods because of their drawbacks in practice, such as the long processing time and misalignment of individual thermoelectric elements. Selective laser melting (SLM) based additive manufacturing approach might offer a unique method to fabricate the low cost, reliable, highly efficient, scalable, and environmentally friendly thermoelectric modules. To understand the thermodynamic and hydrodynamic phenomenon during the SLM processing is of critical importance to ensure high quality products. In this paper, we developed a model which can be used to guide the SLM manufacturing of thermoelectric material with other nanoparticles embedded for higher thermoelectric performance. This physical model based on the continuous equations had the ability to analyze the fluid flow driven by buoyancy force and surface tension, which can be used to analyze the influence of the process parameters on the pool size, particle segregation, as well as temperature distribution within the powder bed. This information is very useful for developing robust SLM for thermoelectric device fabrication.

In this paper, Pine needles (PNs) were used to synthesize porous activated carbon by the carbonization and activation processes. The material for PNs were carbonized at 600 °C and activated at 800 °C(denoted as AC-800) show typical amorphous character, and display porous structures with high specific surface areas 2729 m2/g via XRD and BET measurements. As the electro-active material, AC-800 electrode exhibit ideal capacitive behaviors in aqueous electrolytes, and the maximal specific capacitance is as high as 286 F/g at the current density of 1 A/g. Furthermore, AC-800 electrode shows excellent electrochemical cycle stability with ~94 % initial capacitance being retained after 2000 cycles. The desirable capacitive performances enable the PNs to act as a new biomass source of carbonaceous materials for high performance supercapacitors and low-cost electrical energy storage devices.
