Optimal Integration of Hybrid Supercapacitor and IPT system for a Free Catenary Tramway

2017

The aim of the presented paper is the study of an optimal integration of Supercapacitor based storage system and Inductive Power Transfer system for the free-catenary operation of a tramway. The paper starts from the definition of the Inductive Power transfer pad system and proposed an optimal integration strategy for the correct size of on-board supercapacitors and the inductive energy transfer.

Bottom-Up, On-Surface-Synthesized Armchair Graphene Nanoribbons for Ultra-High-Power Micro-Supercapacitors

2020

Bottom-up-synthesized graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with excellent electronic properties are promising materials for energy storage systems. Herein, we report bottom-up-synthesized GNR films employed as electrode materials for micro-supercapacitors (MSCs). The micro-device delivers an excellent volumetric capacitance and an ultra-high power density. The electrochemical performance of MSCs could be correlated with the charge carrier mobility within the differently employed GNRs, as determined by pump–probe terahertz spectroscopy studies.

Modelling, Simulation and Characterization of a Supercapacitor in Automotive Applications

2020

The energy storage is one of the most discussed topics among Electrical Vehicles (EVs) research. Currently, supercapacitors (SCs) are collecting even more attention due to their unique features such as high-power density, high life cycle and lack of maintenance. In this paper, a supercapacitor model suitable for the simulation in automotive applications is identified. The model parameters are estimated and used to simulate the behaviour of a commercial SCs bank in different operating conditions. The model is finally validated considering experimental results.

Intercalation effect on hyperfine parameters of Fe in FeSe superconductor with Tc = 42 K

2015

57Fe-Mossbauer spectra of superconducting beta-FeSe, the Li/NH3 intercalate product and a subsequent sample of this intercalate treated with moist He gas have been measured in temperature range 4.7 - 290 K. A correlation is established between hyperfine parameters and critical temperature Tc in these phases. A strong increase of isomer shift upon intercalation is explained by a charge transfer from the Li/NH3 intercalate to the FeSe layers resulting in an increase of Tc up to 42 K. A significant decrease of the quadrupole splitting above 240 K has been attributed to diffusive motion of Li+ ions within the interlamellar space.

Intercalation chemistry of superconducting zirconium and hafnium nitride halides

2001

Abstract Lithium intercalation in MNX (M=Zr, Hf; X=Cl, Br) may lead to superconducting compounds with critical temperatures up to 24 K. Electrochemical lithiation experiments agree with the results obtained with chemical methods, as samples with larger capacity on discharge are also those having larger lithium contents after chemical lithiation. Variations exist in the electrochemical profiles of different batches for these compounds indicating differences in the intercalation reaction pathway. High-resolution electron microscopy images confirm the structural model isotypic to SmSI for β-MNX phases. The major part of crystals from ZrNX as well as from the HfNCl samples showing a high lithiu…

Enhanced CDW Transitions in Nb3X4(X = S, Se, Te): Intercalation and Surface Effects

2004

A x Nb 3 X 4 (A = In, Tl, ZnHg; X = S, Se, Te) compounds show CDW instabilities dependent on the type and concentration of intercalate. Tl or In intercalation flattens the Fermi surfaces and supports CDW formation. In the corresponding DOS spectrum the Fermi level is shifted towards coincidence with a small peak, derived mainly from the Nb dz 2 orbital. Localized modulated regions observed in STM images of Nb 3 X 4 at room temperature represent precursor effects to full CDW formation.

Day-night differences in the sensitivity of adrenoceptors in the Syrian hamster pineal gland: an in vivo iontophoretic study.

1989

Abstract Investigations on the regulation of pineal melatonin synthesis in the Syrian hamster revealed distinct differences compared to this well-understood mechanism in rat. E.g., a circadian profile of pineal norepinephrine (NE) is absent, there is no β-adrenoceptor sensitivity during daytime and adrenergic receptor supersensitivity is not easily achieved. To elucidate the action of NE on pineal receptor sites, the effects of iontophoretic application of adrenergic compounds on spontaneous electrical discharge rates of pinealocytes were investigated during day- and nighttime. Following application of either NE, isoproterenol or clonidine, cells were activated, inhibited or not affected. W…

Circadian and Infradian Activity Rhythms in the Mammalian Pineal Body

1982

The neuroendocrine nature of the pineal organ is well established. Linked to the optic system via postganglionic sympathetic fibres coming from the superior cervical ganglia, the parenchymal cells of the pineal synthesize serotonin from tryptophan and convert it to melatonin, the most widely studied pineal substance, and other indoleamines. Melatonin synthesis is stimulated by noradrenaline released from intrapineal sympathetic nerve fibres, involving β-adrenergic mechanisms and the adenyl cyclase-cAMP-system. The rate-limiting enzyme of melatonin formation is serotonin-N-acetyltransferase (NAT) that converts serotonin to N-acetylserotonin. Hydroxyindole-O-methyltransferase (HIOMT) catalyze…
