An investigation between the efficiency of degradation by graphite electrode and the Ni/graphite modified electrode has been carried out. The different effects of concentration, current density and temperature on the rate of degradation were studied. This study shows that the rate of the degradation is more for Ni doped modified graphite electrode. UV-Visible spectra before and after degradation of the dye solution were observed. The thin film formation of Ni or encapsulated in graphite rod is observed by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM & EDAX). The instantaneous current effectiveness values of different experimental conditions are evaluated. The anodic oxidation by Ni/ graphite modified electrode showed the complete degradation of aqueous solution indigocarmine, which is confirmed by UV-Visible and chemical oxygen demand (COD) measurements. The dye is converted into CO2, H2O and simpler inorganic salts. The results observed for reuse of modified electrodes indicate that the Ni/graphite modified electrode would be a promising anode for electrochemical degradation of indigocarmine. This method can be applied for the remediation of waste water containing organics, cost-effective and simple.展开更多

The novel tank PV/T system combines photovoltaic cell, heat absorbing plate and hot-water storage tank which expands the heat exchange area, shortens the heat transfer path and saves the module installation space. A prototype system is constructed and tested in a cold weather condition and then compared with a heat pipe PVT system. The experimental results indicate that during the 10 days’ testing, the electrical, thermal and overall efficiency of the tank PV/T system ranges from 14.3% to 15.6%, 38.6% to 43.8% and 53.1% to 58.1%, respectively, while the heat pipe PVT system ranges from 10.9% to 12.2%, 39.3% to 41.2% and 50.5% to 53.4%, respectively. Based on these data, the electrical and thermal efficiency curve of the system with the novel tank-PVT system and heat pipe PVT system were generated. According to the comparison result, it shows that the novel tank-PVT system has a better thermal and electrical efficiency. This system provides a new design method for the development of the PV/T systems, which has a potential for PV/T systems building integration in the future.展开更多
