Comparative study of anion exchange membranes for low-cost water electrolysis
No full textVarious anion-exchange membranes (AEMs) were studied in the electrolysis cell using the non-precious metal-based catalysts showing the good potential of selected AEMs in low-cost water electrolysis application. The 0.1–1 M potassium hydroxide electrolyte is applied for high performance electrolysis process, whereas the usage of pure water leads to the significant AEM resistance increase. The post mortem MEA analysis, using SEM is performed to study the structure and morphology of catalyst layers transferred from the electrodes prepared by catalyst coated substrate approach. The importance of the catalyst layer–membrane interface and the binder used to bond the catalyst layer is discussed. AEM electrolysis safety aspect in terms of the hydrogen crossover through the 28 μm thin A-201 membrane is studied. The linear dependency of the permeated hydrogen flux on current density is shown. Hydrogen content in the anode outlet gas is less enough to ensure high safety of the AEM electrolysis technology in the operating currents rang

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Insight into the adsorption of a liquid organic hydrogen carrier, perhydro-i-dibenzyltoluene (i = m, o, p), on Pt, Pd and PtPd planar surfaces
No full textLiquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs) are considered to be safe and efficient hydrogen storage media with high hydrogen storage capacities. Adsorption of the LOHC perhydro-i-dibenzyltoluene (i = meta (m), ortho (o), para (p)) isomers on (100), (110) and (111) planar surfaces of Pd, Pt and a 50 : 50 PtPd alloy were investigated, using density functional theory with van der Waals corrections. The calculated heats of formation of the isomers indicated that all the isomers considered were energetically stable. Surface selectivity to isomer adsorption was investigated, using isomer adsorption preference and energies. The (110) surface was found to be highly preferred by the different isomers, compared with both the (100) and the (111) surfaces. Among the isomers, isomer–surface attachment occurred most often in the case of perhydro-m-dibenzyltoluene and perhydro-o-dibenzyltoluene adsorption. The LOHC isomer adsorption on different surfaces was found to be spontaneous, energetically stable and exothermic, with high isomer adsorption preference for Pt and PtPd surfaces, compared with Pd surfaces. This indicates the ease of loading of the LOHC on Pt and PtPd surfaces, for subsequent dehydrogenation
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Mapping the Discipline of the Olympic Games An Author-Cocitation Analysis
No full textThe authors conducted an author cocitation analysis on prominent authors writing about the Olympics during the 1990s. Author cocitation is an established bibliometric technique that can be used to measure the relative similarities of topics written about by the cited authors. This enables a visual representation of the “intellectual space” of the discipline, in this case the Olympics, to be created for the period under review. So core and peripheral research areas are identified, along with their major contributors. The representation appears as a two-dimensional cluster-enhanced map. Subject expertise was then applied to the results to place labels on the generated clusters of authors and their topics
