Title: Stability of current density impedance imaging II
This paper is a continuation of the authors earlier work on stability of Current Density Impedance Imaging (CDII) [R. Lopez, A. Moradifam, Stability of Current Density Impedance Imaging, SIAM J. Math. Anal. (2020).] We show that CDII is stable with respect to errors in both measurement of the magnitude of the current density vector field in the interior and the measurement of the voltage potential on the boundary. This completes the authors study of the stability of Current Density Independence Imaging which was previously shown only by numerical simulations.  more » « less

    Abstract Porous substrate electroporation (PSEP) is a promising new method for intracellular delivery, yet fundamentals of PSEP are not well understood, especially the intermediate processes leading to delivery. PSEP is an electrical method, yet the relationship between PSEP and electrical impedance remains underexplored. In this study, a device capable of measuring impedance and performing PSEP is developed and the changes in transepithelial electrical impedance (TEEI) are monitored. These measurements show TEEI increases following PSEP, unlike other electroporation methods. The authors then demonstrate how cell culture conditions and electrical waveforms influence this response. More importantly, TEEI response features are correlated with viability and delivery efficiency, allowing prediction of outcomes without fluorescent cargo, imaging, or image processing. This label‐free delivery also allows improved temporal resolution of transient processes following PSEP, which the authors expect will aid PSEP optimization for new cell types and cargos.

    Abstract A carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reinforced Nafion membrane (CNT/N) with reduced interfacial resistance was prepared and served as a promising ion exchange membrane for vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs). The reinforcement of CNT effectively enhanced the tensile properties of Nafion membranes. The electrochemical properties of CNT/N membrane were analyzed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and fitted with an analytical model to investigate the ionic and interfacial resistances. The EIS measurement reveals that the exposed CNT on the composite membrane surface significantly reduced the interfacial resistance of the membrane. The VRFB single cell performance of the CNT/N shows higher voltage efficiency (93% vs 89%) and energy efficiency (86% vs 83%) than recast Nafion at a current density of 40 mA cm−2. The cycling stability measurement showed that the discharge capacity retention of the VRFB cell equipped with CNT/N was greatly enhanced. The results suggest that the incorporation of CNT in ion exchange membrane is an effective approach for achieving lower membrane bulky and interfacial resistance, and thus, improving capacity retention, voltage, and energy efficiency.

    In system-level dynamic studies, grid-following inverter-based resources (IBRs) have been treated as current sources synchronized to the main grid via phase-locked-loops (PLL), while the interconnected transmission line is usually treated as a constant complex impedance. In this letter, we present the derivation of transient algebraic impedance of the transmission line and demonstrate its superiority over constant impedance. We show significant accuracy improvement in predicting transient stability and oscillations when the constant impedance is replaced by a transient algebraic impedance. Furthermore, we derive a small-signal model by use of the transient algebraic impedance and this model is successful in explaining the interaction between the PLL and the grid. On the other hand, if constant impedance is assumed, such stability issues cannot be predicted.

    Abstract Rechargeable alkali metal anodes hold the promise to significantly increase the energy density of current battery technologies. But they are plagued by dendritic growths and solid‐electrolyte interphase (SEI) layers that undermine the battery safety and cycle life. Here, a non‐porous ingot‐type sodium (Na) metal growth with self‐modulated shiny‐smooth interfaces is reported for the first time. The Na metal anode can be cycled reversibly, without forming whiskers, mosses, gas bubbles, or disconnected metal particles that are usually observed in other studies. The ideal interfacial stability confirmed in the microcapillary cells is the key to enable anode‐free Na metal full cells with a capacity retention rate of 99.93% per cycle, superior to available anode‐free Na and Li batteries using liquid electrolytes. Contradictory to the common beliefs established around alkali metal anodes, there is no repeated SEI formation on or within the sodium anode, supported by the X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy elemental depth profile analyses, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy diagnosis, and microscopic imaging.
