Abstract:
A method for fabricating a fuel cell component includes the steps of providing a mask having a plurality of radiation transparent apertures, a radiation-sensitive material having a sensitivity to the plurality of radiation beams, and a flow field layer. The radiation-sensitive material is disposed on the flow field layer. The radiation-sensitive material is then exposed to the plurality of radiation beams through the radiation transparent apertures in the mask to form a diffusion medium layer with a micro-truss structure.
Abstract:
A chemical sensor is disclosed. The chemical sensor is an electronic device including in specific embodiments a first transistor and a second transistor. The first transistor includes a semiconducting layer made of a first semiconductor and carbon nanotubes. The second transistor includes a semiconducting layer made of a second semiconductor, and does not contain carbon nanotubes. The two transistors vary in their response to chemical compounds, and the differing response can be used to determine the identity of certain chemical compounds. The chemical sensor can be useful as a disposable sensor for explosive compounds such as trinitrotoluene (TNT). The electronic device is used in conjunction with an analyzer that processes information generated by the electronic device.
Abstract:

At least one of the cathode or the anode has a rigid polymer matrix with an active material and elongated electrically conducting material having ion conducting moieties bonded thereto within the polymer matrix.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are solvent free, dry coating processes for applying a layered material such as graphene, nanoplate graphite, etc., to a substrate. The applied layered material is devoid of any dispersant and substantially uniform in thickness. Generally, a layered material precursor composition is mixed with a milling medium so that the milling medium is coated with the layered material. The substrate is then contacted with the coated milling medium. The layered material on the milling medium transfers to the substrate to form a coating on the substrate. Such processes may be especially useful for applying conductive films onto a polymeric substrate without the need for additives such as a surfactant or a polymeric binder.

Abstract:
A method including activating an electronic device, such as an organic thin film transistor, by exposing the device to non-ionizing radiation while the device is under an electrical field. Activation of the transistor increases the field effect mobility of the transistor.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are substrates which have been dry coated with a layered material. Generally, a layered material precursor composition is mixed with a milling medium so that the milling medium is coated with the layered material. The substrate is then contacted with the coated milling medium. The layered material on the milling medium transfers to the substrate to form a coating on the substrate. In particular, conductive films can be formed on a substrate without the need for additives such as a surfactant or a polymeric binder.
