AbstractElectrochromic materials and devices are enabling a variety of advanced technologies. Gel-based organic electrochromic molecules such as ethyl viologen diperchlorate are attractive options due to their simple device design and low cost processing options relative to the more expensive and complex transition metal oxide films. However, electrochromic devices are subject to extensive cycling in which failure and fatigue can eventually occur. This work presents the lifetime cycling performance of ethyl viologen diperchlorate-based electrochromic devices using two different anodic compounds, hydroquinone and ferrocene, which are cycled at different voltages, 3 V and 1.2 V, respectively. Multiple devices are cycled until failure with periodic device characterization via UV–Vis spectroscopy, electrical resistance and power measurement, and transition duration measurement. Devices with hydroquinone can transition quickly. Cycle times are $$\sim$$ ∼ 30 s in these samples, however, these samples also typically fail before 3000 cycles. On the other hand, devices using ferrocene transition more slowly (total cycle time $$\sim$$ ∼ 2 min), but have superior cycling performance with all samples surviving beyond 10,000 cycles while complying with ASTM E2141-14 standard.

The indium selenium (InSe) bilayer thin films of various thickness ratios, InxSe(1-x) (x = 0.25, 0.50, 0.75), were deposited on a glass substrate keeping overall the same thickness of 2500 Ǻ using thermal evaporation method under high vacuum atmosphere. Electrical, optical, and structural properties of these bilayer thin films have been compared before and after thermal annealing at different temperatures. The structural and morphological characterization was done using XRD and SEM, respectively. The optical bandgap of these thin films has been calculated by Tauc’s relation that varies within the range of 1.99 to 2.05 eV. A simple low-cost thermoelectrical power measurement setup is designed which can measure the Seebeck coefficient “S” in the vacuum with temperature variation. The setup temperature variation is up to 70°C. This setup contains a Peltier device TEC1-12715 which is kept between two copper plates that act as a reference metal. Also, in the present work, the thermoelectric power of indium selenide (InSe) and aluminum selenide (AlSe) bilayer thin films prepared and annealed in the same way is calculated. The thermoelectric power has been measured by estimating the Seebeck coefficient for InSe and AlSe bilayer thin films. It was observed that the Seebeck coefficient is negative for InSe and AlSe thin films.

Abstract. Low cost sensors (LCS) are an appealing solution to the problem of spatial resolution in air quality measurement, but they currently do not have the same analytical performance as regulatory reference methods. Individual sensors can be susceptible to analytical cross interferences, have random signal variability and experience drift over short, medium and long timescales. To overcome some of the performance limitations of individual sensors we use a clustering approach using the instantaneous median signal from six identical electrochemical sensors to minimise the randomised drifts and inter-sensor differences. We report here a low power analytical device (

Shear Thickening Fluids

This paper presents the feasibility of developing an electromechanical in-situ viscosity measurement technique by analyzing the detectability of small variations in the viscosity of different shear thickening fluids and their different compositions. Shear thickening fluid (STF) is a kind of non-Newtonian fluid showing an increasing viscosity profile under loading. STF is utilized in several applications to take advantage of its tunable rheology. However, process control in different STF applications requires rheological measurements, which cause a costly investment and long-lasting labor. Therefore, one of the most commonly used in-situ structural health monitoring techniques, electromechanical impedance (EMI), was used in this study. In order to actuate the medium electromechanically, a piezoelectric wafer active sensor (PWAS) was used. The variations in the spectral response of PWAS resonator that can be submerged into shear thickening fluid are analyzed by the root mean square deviation, mean absolute percentage deviation and correlation coefficient deviation. According to the results, EMI metrics provide good correlations with the rheological parameters of STF and thereby enabling quick and low-cost rheological control for STF applications such as vibration dampers or stiffness control systems.
