Electrochemical Impedance Imaging via the Distribution of Diffusion Times [PDF]
We develop a mathematical framework to analyze electrochemical impedance spectra in terms of a distribution of diffusion times (DDT) for a parallel array of random finite-length Warburg (diffusion) or Gerischer (reaction-diffusion) circuit elements.

Preparation of controlled porosity carbon aerogels for energy storage in rechargeable lithium oxygen batteries [PDF]
Porous carbon aerogels are prepared by polycondensation of resorcinol and formaldehyde catalyzed by sodium carbonate followed by carbonization of the resultant aerogels in an inert atmosphere. Pore structure of carbon aerogels is adjusted by changing the
