AI Article Synopsis
- A new cold cathode arc discharge filament-based H ion source (HNIS) has been created with a low-power igniter that extends the filament's lifespan.
- The prototype can produce H ion beam currents up to 12 mA at 50 keV in pulse mode, with a peak arc power of 27 kW using a triode extraction system.
- The article discusses the initial testing of the HNIS and the magnetic field setup designed to differentiate co-extracted electrons from the H ion beam, supported by experiments and 3-D simulations.
Article Abstract
A cold cathode arc discharge filament based multicusp H ion source (HNIS) has been developed using an innovative low power igniter system working in a glow discharge regime to achieve a longer lifetime of the filament. This HNIS is cesium-free and its experimental prototype generates a maximum H ion beam (HNIB) current of 12 mA at 50 keV beam energy in pulse mode with a peak arc power of 27 kW using the triode extraction system. This article presents the results of initial commissioning of the HNIS and steering magnetic field used to separate out the co-extracted electrons from HNIB, verified through experiments and 3-D ion beam simulations.

Recently, ionic thermoelectric supercapacitors have gained attention because of their high open circuit voltages, even for ions that are redox inactive. As a source of open circuit voltage (electromotive force), an asymmetry in electric double layers developed by the adsorption of ions at the electrode surfaces kept at different temperatures has previously been proposed. As another source, the Eastman entropy of transfer, which is related to the Soret coefficient, has been considered.

This study presents the development of a solar-driven thermally regenerative electrochemical cell (STREC) for continuous power generation. Key innovations include dual-function carbon-based electrodes for efficient solar absorption and electrochemical reactions, a transparent and ultrainsulating silica aerogel to maximize solar spectrum transmission while minimizing heat loss, and a compact heat exchanger to recover heat from hot cell streams. Under 1 sun conditions, the STREC achieves a power density of 912.

Aqueous zinc-based batteries have garnered the attention of the electrochemical energy storage community, but they suffer from electrolytes freezing and sluggish kinetics in cold environments. In this Review, we discuss the key parameters necessary for designing anti-freezing aqueous zinc electrolytes. We start with the fundamentals related to different zinc salts and their dissolution and solvation behaviours, by highlighting the effects of anions and additives on salt solubility, ion diffusion and freezing points.

The development of flexible, intelligent, and lightweight optoelectronic devices based on flexible transparent conductive electrodes (FTCEs) utilizing silver nanowires (AgNWs) has garnered increasing attention. However, achieving low surface resistance, strong adhesion to the flexible substrate, low surface roughness, and green degradability remains a challenge. Here, a composite electrode combining natural polymer cellulose nanofibers (TCNFs) with AgNWs was prepared.
