Synthesis, characterization, and properties of nickel-cobalt layered double hydroxide nanostructures
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
Nickel-cobalt layered double hydroxides (Ni-Co-LDH) have recently been examined for their potential as battery-type hybrid supercapacitors made from metal hydroxide electrode materials, due to their unique spatial structure, ...
Replacement policies for age and working numbers with random life cycle
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
It has been modeled for several replacement policies in literatures that the whole life cycle or operating interval of an operating unit should be finite rather than infinite as is done with the traditional method. However, ...
