Membrane transfer process for the creation of low-noise solid state nanopore devices
… is particularly attractive because it is label-free, rapid, and intrinsically single molecule. However, the ability to infer molecular properties with nanometer precision, either in size or sequencing, is obscured by noise in the measurement. The precision of this inference can be significantly …

Layer-by-layer assembly of conducting membranes for photoelectrochemical cells
… arrays into an ion-conducting, ultrathin polymer membrane. The choice of LbL platform and the properties of the silicon surface control the film morphology, generating either a conformal coating around each wire or a bridging film across the top of the array. Multilayer transfer printing is used …

Evaporation from nanopores : probing interfacial transport
… studied for decades, the fundamental understanding of evaporation, which is necessary for making full use of evaporation, remains limited up to date. It is in general difficult to experimentally characterize the interfacial heat and mass transfer during evaporation. In this thesis, we …

Nano-scale Glucose Fuel Cells for Energy Harvesting in the Human Body Based on Proton Conduction in Cerium Oxide
… proton-conducting electrolyte ceria and a free-standing membrane device architecture, the novel ceramic-electrolyte glucose fuel cell can be scaled down to a thickness below 400 nm. The ceramic-electrolyte glucose fuel cell is biocompatible by materials choice, and unlike …

Transport and Structure in Fuel Cell Proton Exchange Membranes
… poly(perfluorosulfonic acid) copolymer membrane for fuel cells, Nafion, were compared. Species transport (protons, methanol, water) in hydrated membranes was found to correspond with the water-self diffusion coefficient as measured by pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance (PFG …
