Oxygen vacancies engineering is widely acknowledged as a potent strategy for augmenting the electrochemical performance of metal oxides in the realm of supercapacitors. Researchers from Jinan School of Materials Science and Engineering, Shandong University, China published their study Activated carbon induced oxygen vacancies-engineered nickel ferrite with enhanced conductivity for supercapacitor application. In recent research by Prof. Jianqiang Bi’s team, NiFe2O4−δ, characterized by a profusion of...

In this video, prof. Sam Ben-Yaakov explains how fuses and circuit breakers works base on the basic physics of I2t dissipation. This video explains basic fuse operation principles and LTSpice simulation is used to demonstrate impact of I2t to its function.
