Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) were fabricated by applying reproducible thin, dense La0.75Sr0.25Cr0.5Mn0.5normalO3−δ (LSCM) anode and La0.8Sr0.2MnO3−δ (LSM) cathode films to yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolytes by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis. A gold grid was applied to the anode film by lithography and plating, enabling adequate electrical contact while maintaining an open surface area for reaction. Alignment of the two electrode films and correct placement of the reference electrode enabled the separation of the anode and cathode impedance responses. Although the open-circuit voltage (OCV) of the LSCM|YSZ|LSM fuel cell at 700°C with humidified normalH2 fuel was close to that predicted by the Nernst equation, the anode polarization resistance was large (23Ω⋅cm2) . The addition of Pd to the anode film led only to a small decrease in polarization resistance, indicating that oxygen ion conductivity was the limiting factor for normalH2 fuel. The OCV for CH4 was close to that when an inert gas (He) was supplied to the anode. This OCV increased to 0.87 V upon addition of Pd to the LSCM film surface. This indicates that the bare LSCM film is limited by a low CH4 activation activity.

The use of typical neuroleptics has always been the mainstay of treatment for delirium following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Given the recent application of atypical neuroleptics to various psychiatric conditions formerly treated with typical neuroleptics, one questions whether this new class of drugs is superior to its predecessor in treating delirium post-TBI. We present a case of one patient with TBI-induced delirium where in fact the use of the typical mid-potency neuroleptic, loxapine, appeared to have a better clinical effect over the atypical neuroleptic, olanzapine.
