Abstract:We have investigated laser ablation as a microfabrication approach to produce micro fuel cells (MFCs) in silicon. Picosecond pulses (15 ps) at a wavelength of 355 nm are used to make all of the MFC structures. To assess the benefits and drawbacks of laser ablation, reference cells have been produced by deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) using matching geometries. Ablated and etched cells have been evaluated and compared side by side. Our conclusion is that picosecond laser ablation is very well suited for MFC fabrication. The ablated cells match or excel DRIE-microfabricated cells in terms of current and power densities. Ablated MFCs achieved 47.6 mW cm -2 of power density and 121 mA cm -2 current density.

Abstract. This article reviews major micro-and nanolithography techniques and their applications from commercial micro devices to emerging applications in nanoscale science and engineering. Micro-and nanolithography has been the key technology in manufacturing of integrated circuits and microchips in the semiconductor industry. Such a technology is also sparking revolutionizing advancements in nanotechnology. The lithography techniques including photolithography, electron beam lithography, focused ion beam lithography, soft lithography, nanoimprint lithography and scanning probe lithography are discussed. Furthermore, their applications are summarized into four major areas: electronics and microsystems, medical and biotech, optics and photonics, and environment and energy harvesting.

“…Ethanol, methanol and butanol can also be used as fuels to replace the fossil fuels currently in use [283][284][285][286][287]. There exist also so-called direct-methanol fuel cells that have the potential to be miniaturized and applied in consumer electronics [288][289][290]. Alcohols are directly used as solvents in production of medicines, perfumes and essential oils [282,285].…”

Abstract:The treatment of volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions is a necessity of today. The catalytic treatment has already proven to be environmentally and economically sound technology for the total oxidation of the VOCs. However, in certain cases, it may also become economical to utilize these emissions in some profitable way. Currently, the most common way to utilize the VOC emissions is their use in energy production. However, interesting possibilities are arising from the usage of VOCs in hydrogen and syngas production. Production of chemicals from VOC emissions is still mainly at the research stage. However, few commercial examples exist. This review will summarize the commercially existing VOC utilization possibilities, present the utilization applications that are in the research stage and introduce some novel ideas related to the catalytic utilization possibilities of the VOC emissions. In general, there exist a vast number of possibilities for VOC OPEN ACCESSCatalysts 2015, 5 1093 utilization via different catalytic processes, which creates also a good research potential for the future.
