Lithium Storage in Titania Films: Unification of Insertion Electrode and Supercapacitor Concepts

This book presents a comprehensive investigation of charge storage in a mixed conductor (general materials case). As it includes bulk and boundary zones, it leads to a unification of battery insertion electrode and supercapacitor storage concepts, which are unnecessarily considered as two separate phenomena. Following and extending the quantitative concept of job-sharing storage, a generalized picture that encompasses bulk and space charge storage (insertion electrode and supercapacitor storage) is developed. The system under consideration is titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin films, in which lithium is inserted, and the results are evaluated as a function of distance from the current collector. Measuring the capacity as a function of size enables distinguishing between bulk storage (lithium ions and electrons stored in TiO2) and space charge storage at the interface (lithium ions stored on the TiO2 side of the interface to the current collector, and electrons on the current collector's side). Variation of size and nature of the current collector allows optimizing the ratio of energy to power density, which was not possible before. In the same context, this thesis investigates the space charge behavior in a discretized manner rather than by using the analytical Poisson-Boltzmann function. In this way, a more precise definition and demarcation of electrode and double layer capacity is achieved. This thesis opens new avenues for tailoring power versus energy density in examples of practical interest, addressing one of the central challenges in energy research. This book benefits students and researchers interested in defect chemistry, electrochemistry, and energy storage research.

Innovative and Functionalized Polymers

This Reprint collects selected contributions from the Special Issue dedicated to innovative and functionalized polymers, offering an updated overview of recent advances in polymer science and engineering. In recent years, significant progress has been achieved in the development of natural and synthetic polymers with enhanced mechanical, thermal, electrical, and surface properties, expanding their potential across multiple high-value applications. Modern strategies for polymer processing and modification include chemical functionalization, incorporation of nano- and micro-scale fillers, fabrication of hybrid and composite systems, and advanced manufacturing techniques that enable precise control over morphology and structural architecture. The possibility of tailoring composition, porosity, interface properties, and three-dimensional organization has paved the way for next-generation materials designed for flexible electronics, sensing technologies, energy systems, soft devices, and biomedical applications. This Reprint highlights interdisciplinary research focused on the design, development, characterization, and practical implementation of advanced polymer-based materials. It provides a comprehensive perspective on current trends and emerging directions in the field, emphasizing multifunctionality, performance optimization, and application-driven innovation.

Gemini 9A

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Gemini 9A (officially Gemini IX-A) was a 1966 manned spaceflight in NASA's Gemini program. It was the 7th manned Gemini flight, the 13th manned American flight and the 23rd spaceflight of all time (includes X-15 flights over 100 kilometres (62 mi)). Stafford and Cernan became the first backup crew to fly in space since Scott Carpenter replaced Deke Slayton on MA-7. The original prime crew for Gemini IX, Elliott See (Command Pilot) and Charles Bassett (Pilot), were both killed on February 28, 1966 (four months before the mission) when their plane crashed into the McDonnell building in St. Louis, Missouri where their spacecraft was being built.

Samuil Yurievich Guz ( December 5, 1905, Melitopol, Russia - May 29, 1969, Zaporozhye, USSR) was an important innovator in Soviet Metallurgical Industry and one of the founders of the Soviet Titanium Industry.Samuil Yurievich Guz was born to a Jewish family in South-Western Russia (currently Ukraine), and received his engineering degree in 1927 from the evening division of rabfak, Odessa, (currently Ukraine). He worked at the Dneprovsky Magnesium Works (currently Zaporozhye Titanium-Magnesium Plant) in Zaporozhye, USSR (currently Ukraine). He fought in the Winter War of 1939-1940.

Bernard 70

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Bernard 70 was a 1920s design for a French single-seat monoplane fighter aircraft by the Société des Avions Bernard. It was not built but was developed into a racing monoplane designated the Bernard S-72. It was further developed into single-seat fighters, the Bernard 74 and Bernard 74, although only two of the fighters were built.

Dornier Do K
