This paper discusses the importance of the temperature drying process on some silane films in order to obtain a coating with specific properties (stability in time, resistance to corrosion attack and compactness) that would make them appropriate to be used as anticorrosive protection layers. Electrochemical techniques such as open circuit potential and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were employed in order to characterize the investigated deposited silane films on aluminium substrate. The validation of the experimental electrochemical impedance spectroscopy data was carried out using the comparison of the validation coefficient versus the Pearson coefficient computed for a a=0.05.
This paper introduces a method of reconditioning lithium-polymer batteries which are no longer performing as expected. The reconditioning process consists of consecutive charging/discharging steps at controlled currents and is followed by an evaluation procedure, in order to determine the actual performances of the reconditioned batteries. For the evaluation of the characteristics of the Li-polymer batteries, one has measured the charging capacity, the discharging capacity and the internal resistance. However, after the reconditioning stage, one must look for a new application for these batteries, as the reconditioned batteries are seldom behaving as the new ones to be used for the same initial designated application. We manufactured and tested a cold jump-start system, particularly useful in the case of cars flat batteries or cars batteries starting failure. The advantages of this system consist in their reduced mass and volume and a very powerful starting current, comparable to that of high capacity lead acid batteries, the system being able to act as multiple starting aids.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
