  • Nano-porous alumina sensor
    Patent number: 8132457
    Abstract: A nano-sensor including a substrate including pores formed thereon and a detecting mechanism for detecting changes in capacitance due to the presence of a substance. A method of measuring humidity by sampling air with the nano-sensor, detecting changes in capacitance, and determining the relative humidity of air. A method of detecting the presence of a substance by taking a sample with the nano-sensor, detecting changes in capacitance, and determining the presence of a substance. A method of making the nano-sensor by forming nano-pores on a substrate, and forming, on the surface of the substrate, a detecting mechanism for detecting changes in capacitance due to the presence of a substance.

  • Metal-coated carbon surfaces for use in fuel cells
    Publication number: 20060234039
    Abstract: A method of coating a carbon article with a metal by cyclic voltammetrically electrodepositing the metal on the carbon article, thereby forming a metal coating on the carbon article and the metal-coated carbon article made by the method. A metal-coated carbon article having a carbon article and a metal coating disposed on an exterior surface of the carbon article, the coating being present in an amount less than about 0.1 mg/cm2.
