One of the ways to increase the efficiency of the desalination process in membrane systems is to use intensive current modes. Recently, the phenomenon of space-charge breakdown was theoretically described for desalination under intensive current modes. The space-charge breakdown is a decrease in the magnitude and size of the extended space charge regions (SCRs) of opposite signs, formed at the cation- and anion-exchange membranes in the desalination channel, when they approach each other. Therefore, this phenomenon negatively affects the intensity of electroconvection and the efficiency of mass transfer in membrane systems. We report the results of the first theoretical analysis of the space-charge breakdown in the galvanostatic electric mode, which is generally used in the research and operation of membrane systems. For this purpose, a one-dimensional model of the ion transfer of the electrolyte solution in the section of the desalination channel at the direct current is developed. The regularities of changes in the extended SCRs in the galvanostatic mode are determined. A relation is obtained for the onset time of the space-charge breakdown, which makes it possible to determine the parameters of the effective operation of the membrane system.

High-voltage FinFET with floating poly and high-k material for enhanced intrinsic gain and safe operating area.
Sci Rep
November 2024
Department of Electrical Engineering, Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), Pohang, 37673, South Korea.
We propose a new drain-extended FinFET (DeFinFET) that can improve the intrinsic gain (g/g) and the electrical safe operating area (SOA). This structure features a novel utilization of the drain potential by using a floating poly (FP) and split high-k material (HK) on the drain and drift regions. This method effectively controls the potential drop profile within the drift region, which makes a uniform electric field distribution in the gate-on state.

Separation of triacylglycerol (TAG) isomers by cyclic ion mobility mass spectrometry.

Triacylglycerols (TAGs), a major lipid class in foods and the human body, consist of three fatty acids esterified to a glycerol backbone. They can occur in various isomeric forms, including sn-positional, cis/trans configurational, acyl chain length, double bond positional, and mixed type isomers. Separating isomeric mixtures is of great interest as different isomers can have distinct influence on mechanisms, such as digestibility, oxidative stability, or lipid metabolism.

Throughout the history of power systems, power cables have been used to securely and efficiently distribute electrical energy to the destined locations. Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), a commonly used insulator in high-voltage cables, have several desirable properties, such as low dielectric loss, high dielectric constant, high thermal conductivity, enhanced thermal stability, and superior resistance against electrical stress. However, further improvements of XLPE's performance are needed.
