Abstract: A wavelength multiplexing device is disclosed. When light is irradiated on a first longitudinal end region of a metal nano-structure, surface plasmon polaritons are generated in the first longitudinal end region. The surface plasmon polaritons and the light are coupled with each other to form first coupled surface plasmon polaritons, wherein the first coupled surface plasmon polaritons propagate along and on a surface of the metal nano-structure. When the first coupled surface plasmon polaritons reach a two-dimensional material layer, excitons are induced in the two-dimensional material layer, wherein the induced excitons and the first coupled surface plasmon polaritons are coupled with each other to form second coupled surface plasmon polaritons. The second coupled surface plasmon polaritons propagate along and on a surface of the metal nano-structure toward a second longitudinal end thereof.

Abstract: A flow field including graphene foam for a fuel cell. The flow field is made of graphene foam that enhances mass transport and suffers no corrosion under operating conditions of the fuel cell when compared with conventional flow fields. In addition, compressed graphene foam has smaller in-plane pores due to the compression and has more tortuous pathways for flowing reactants, thereby increasing retention time of reactants and accelerating diffusion of reactants into a gas diffusion layer (GDL). Further, large through-plane pores inside the graphene foam transport reactants to entire areas of a catalyst layer, and faster flow velocity compared with the conventional membrane electrode assembly (MEA) is derived from a decreased flow field width due to compression. Therefore, mass transport of reactants and products is enhanced, and performance of the fuel cell is improved at high current density regions.
