The science and technology of ultracapacitors are reviewed for a number of electrode materials, including carbon, mixed metal oxides, and conducting polymers. More work has been done using microporous carbons than with the other materials and most of the commercially available devices use carbon electrodes and an organic electrolytes. The energy density of these devices is 3¯5 Wh/kg with a power density of 300¯500 W/kg for high efficiency (90¯95%) charge/discharges. Projections of future developments using carbon indicate that energy densities of 10 Wh/kg or higher are likely with power densities of 1¯2 kW/kg. A key problem in the fabrication of these advanced devices is the bonding of the thin electrodes to a current collector such the contact resistance is less than 0.1 cm2. Special attention is given in the paper to comparing the power density characteristics of ultracapacitors and batteries. The comparisons should be made at the same charge/discharge efficiency.

Chemical structures and performance of perovskite oxides.

The important greenhouse effect of methane (more than an order of magnitude greater than CO2) makes it essential to eliminate/control the methane emission from natural gas engines/power plants and petroleum industries. Catalytic combustion of methane is favored over homogeneous combustion, because the former greatly facilitates the oxidative destruction of methane. Moreover, use of catalysts for methane combustion in gas-turbines affords lower working temperatures (as compared to gas-fired turbines) and thermodynamically limits NOx (which is an extremely harmful environmental pollutant) emission. A large amount of work has been undertaken to develop catalysts both for controlling methane emission as well as for generating power in high temperature natural gas-turbines. This review will address the different issues related to the variety of catalysts which have been employed for methane/lower alkane combustion. Although all the related important aspects of the combustion catalysts will be addressed, greater emphasis will be placed on recent work in this field.
