Novel Method to Boost Capacity of Energy Sources for Portable Electronics

Researchers from Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech), Moscow State University (MSU), and Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) have suggested a new method to substituting carbon atoms with nitrogen atoms in the supercapacitor’s crystal lattice and created a novel capacity enhancement technique based on carbon lattice alteration with the help of plasma.

Researchers Identity a New Method to Dramatically Boost Battery Lifetime

Researchers at Harvard University have been developing an organic aqueous flow battery for many years, but despite this, they have encountered a major challenge—the organic anthraquinone molecules that fueled their revolutionary battery were gradually decomposing over time, decreasing the battery’s long-term usefulness.

High Purity H3O+ Reactant Ions Enable Simple Interpretation of Vocus PTR-TOF Data

Vocus PTR-TOF mass spectra are dominated by protonated peaks and free of significant contributions from non-PTR reaction and therefore easily interpreted and quantified.

Calibrating Vocus PTR-TOF Sensitivity Using a Subset of VOC Standards

The Vocus PTR-TOF routinely detects a very large number of VOCs, including many for which standards are not available. It is possible to calibrate for all detected compounds with good accuracy based on simple measurements of a small number of VOC standards.
