Abstract The chemical and microstructural features of poly(styrenesulfonic acid) (PSSA)-grafted poly(ethylene-co-tetrafluoroethylene) (ETFE) polymer electrolyte membranes (ETFE-PEMs) through preparation procedures and grafting degree (GD) are investigated by solid-state 13C cross polarization/magic angle spinning solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (13C CP/MAS NMR) spectra, atomic force microscope (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Doppler broadening (DB) of positron-annihilation radiation measurement. Especially,...

Abstract In the present work, composites of SnO2 and biocarbon from cashew residue were applied and reported for the first time as anode materials of Li-ion batteries. The composites were developed via a two-step synthesis route consisting of pretreating the cashew residue to create biocarbon, followed by compositing the biocarbon with SnO2. The calcination temperatures were...

Abstract Safety concerns in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) poses safety risks due to flammable liquid electrolytes and dendrite formation. Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) offer a safer alternative, though limited by low ionic conductivity and poor dendrite resistance. In this study, a SPE based on poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) was modified to by blending with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)...

Abstract The approach for detecting trace amounts of microplastics using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) faces a significant challenge because the size of individual nanoparticles is considerably smaller than that of microplastics. Therefore, it is imperative to develop a type of nanoparticle that can form a larger surface area while still preserving excellent surface plasmon properties...

Abstract Advanced cryptographic devices employ multiscale countermeasures to bolster resilience against side-channel analysis (SCA). In masking-based defenses, secure substitution-boxes (S-boxes) and effective masking schemes are paramount. Additionally, the time-based hiding techniques, leveraging multiple clocks for individual encryption operations, offer significant protection. This article introduces a novel multiscale countermeasure: an improved tower field masking scheme integrated...

Abstract Let D be a division ring with center F, and let n > 1 be an integer. A known result due to Kursov asserts that if D is finite-dimensional over F, then the commutator width of the general linear group GLn(D) is at most one greater than that of GLn(D). In the absence of the finite-dimensionality assumption, recent research has made significant...

Abstract In this work, we investigated the thermoelectric properties of MoS2 thin films deposited on SiO2/Si wafer substrates as prepared by the radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering technique. A fixed sputtering power of 200 W was maintained for 30 min to facilitate thin film deposition. After thin film deposition, as-deposited thin films were annealed by the vacuum annealing...
