ESM of ionic and electrochemical phenomena on the nanoscale [electronic resource].

Operation of energy storage and conversion devices is ultimately controlled by series of intertwined ionic and electronic transport processes and electrochemical reactions at surfaces and interfaces, strongly mediated by strain and mechanical processes. In a typical fuel cell, these include chemical species transport in porous cathode and anode materials, gas-solid electrochemical reactions at grains and triple-phase boundaries (TPBs), ionic and electronic flows in multicomponent electrodes, and chemical and electronic potential drops at internal interfaces in electrodes and electrolytes. Furthermore, all these phenomena are sensitively affected by the microstructure of materials from device level to the atomic scales. Similar spectrum of length scales and phenomena underpin operation of other energy systems including primary and secondary batteries, as well as hybrid systems such flow and metal-air/water batteries.

History of mechanical technology and mechanical design 2012 : selected peer reviewed papers from the 9th International Conference on History of Mechanical Technology and Mechanical Design, (ICHMTMD2012), March 23-25, 2012, Taiwan

The present volume consists of selected papers from the proceedings of the International Conference on History of Mechanical Technology and Mechanical Design -2012 (ICHMTMD2012). This conference evolved from the China-Japan International Conference on History of Mechanical Technology (CJICHMT). More than 100 papers, from Mainland China, Taiwan and Japan were submitted, to the present conference. All of the papers were subjected to peer review by at least two expert referees, and the best papers were selected for publication in this volume.
