Kinetics of lithium ions in high capacity anode for energy storage
The research on energy storage devices such as lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is vital for electric vehicles (EVs), electronic devices and grid-scale energy storage. According to... -
Kinetics of protein and protein mixture adsorption at the air/water interface
Many proteins exhibit a lag in lowering the surface tension at the air-water interface. The origin of this lag is not well understood either experimentally or theoretically. The... -
Interfacial / surface retention / delivery of perfumes from different surface...
This proposal is part of a funded (CASE) project, aimed at understanding the delivery of benefit actives (perfumes) to interfaces and the development of new self-assembled... -
