Bubble translation at low-frequency actuation in a resonator-shaped microfluidic chamber by Shang, Xiaopeng, Huang, Xiaoyang, Yang, Chun

“…The experimental results show that under the actuation at 1 kHz, the bubbles are observed to occur near the center of the chamber, grow up in size and then move upstream against the main flow. The bubble translation upstream against the main flow is attributed to the attraction of the image bubbles which exist behind the chamber sidewall.…”

Oxidation-etching preparation of MnO2 tubular nanostructures for high-performance supercapacitors by Zhu, Jixin, Shi, Wenhui, Xiao, Ni, Rui, Xianhong, Tan, Huiteng, Lu, Xuehong, Hng, Huey Hoon, Ma, Jan, Yan, Qingyu

“…The polycrystalline MnO2 nanotubes can be further converted to porous nanobelts and sponge-like nanowires by annealing in air. Among all the types of MnO2 nanostructures prepared, tubular MnO2 nanostructures composed of assembled nanosheets show optimized charge storage performance when tested as supercapacitor electrodes, for example, delivering an power density of 13.33 kW·kg–1 and a energy density of 21.1 Wh·kg–1 with a long cycling life over 3000 cycles, which is mainly related to their features of large specific surface area and optimized charge transfer pathway.…”
