Low-Temperature Dynamics of Water Confined in Unidirectional Hydrophilic Zeolite Nanopores

Livia Eleonora Bove Kado, Umbertoluca Ranieri, Maria Rescigno

The dynamical properties of water molecules confinedin the unidirectionalhydrophilic nanopores of AlPO4-54 are investigated withquasi-elastic neutron scattering as a function of temperature downto 118 K. AlPO4-54 has among the largest pores known foralumin ...

Bragg edge tomography characterization of additively manufactured 316L steel

Roland Logé, Christian Leinenbach, Efthymios Polatidis, Markus Strobl, Nikola Kalentics

In this work we perform a neutron Bragg edge tomography of stainless steel 316L additive manufacturing samples, one as built via standard laser powder bed fusion, and one using the novel three-dimensional (3D) laser shock peening technique. First, we consi ...

Systematic design of millisecond gasification reactor for the incorporation of gas-sieving nanopores in single-layer graphene

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Kuang-Jung Hsu, Luis Francisco Villalobos Vazquez de la Parra, Shiqi Huang, Shaoxian Li

Etching an ensemble of vacancy defects (nanopores) in single-layer graphene (SLG) to obtain a high density of nanopores with an effective size that enables high-performance gas sieving is challenging. This is because nanopore nucleation and expansion are u ...

Multipulsed Millisecond Ozone Gasification for Predictable Tuning of Nucleation and Nucleation-Decoupled Nanopore Expansion in Graphene for Carbon Capture

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Mounir Driss Mensi, Kuang-Jung Hsu, Luis Francisco Villalobos Vazquez de la Parra, Mostapha Dakhchoune, Shiqi Huang, Guangwei He, Heng-Yu Chi, Wan-Chi Lee

Predictable and tunable etching of angstrom-scale nanopores in single-layer graphene (SLG) can allow one to realize high-performance gas separation even from similar-sized molecules. We advance toward this goal by developing two etching regimes for SLG whe ...

Millisecond lattice gasification for high-density CO2- and O2-sieving nanopores in single-layer graphene

Emad Oveisi, Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Mounir Driss Mensi, Marina Micari, Luis Francisco Villalobos Vazquez de la Parra, Mostapha Dakhchoune, Shiqi Huang, Shaoxian Li, Deepu Joseph Babu

Etching single-layer graphene to incorporate a high pore density with sub-angstrom precision in molecular differentiation is critical to realize the promising high-flux separation of similar-sized gas molecules, e.g., CO2 from N2. However, rapid etching ki ...

Crystallization of gas-selective nanoporous graphene by competitive etching and growth: a modeling study

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Soumajit Dutta

A robust synthesis methodology for crystallizing nanoporous single-layer graphene hosting a high density of size-selective nanopores is urgently needed to realize the true potential of two-dimensional membranes for gas separation. Currently, there are no c ...

Mass loss of density currents travelling over pourous bed

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Sara Venuleo

Polluted liquids leaking from their storages over the surrounding gravel beds or oil spilling into aquifers, are examples of gravity currents moving over a porous terrain. Density-driven flows provoked by saline or temperature differences or turbidity curr ...

Hydro-chemo-mechanical behavior of a sand/bentonite mixture upon wetting paths

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Donatella Manca

Sand/bentonite (S/B) mixtures are considered as backfilling materials for nuclear waste storage. The paper presents an experimental campaign that was carried out to investigate the swelling behavior of a S/B mixture, under different hydro-chemo-mechanical ...
