Thermal coarsening of individual titanate nanowires and their assemblies: Surface vs. bulk diffusion

László Forró, Luca Rossi, Endre Horvath, Sergiy Katrych, Massimo Spina, Laurent Syavoch Bernard, Xavier Berdat

The thermal coarsening of titanate nanowires was investigated from room temperature to 1000 degrees C by AFM, SEM, XRD and Raman spectroscopy. Phase transformation kinetics and the external morphology were studied in two configurations: i) as individual an ...

Mechanical response of layered titanate nanowires

László Forró, Luca Rossi, Endre Horvath, Raphaël Foschia

The mechanical response of individual titanate nanowires (H2Ti3O7), synthesized in an upscaled production (kg/month) was investigated by means of an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) in nanomechanical spectroscopic mode. Because of their layered structure, bes ...

Tailoring thermal conduction in anatase TiO2

László Forró, Luca Rossi, Endre Horvath, Xavier François Mettan, Helmuth Berger, Andrea Pisoni, Jacim Jacimovic, Péter Szirmai

Thermal conductivity (κ) plays an essential role in functional devices. It is advantageous to design materials where one can tune κ in a wide range according to its function: single-crystals and nanowires of anatase polymorph of titanium dioxide, broadly u ...

Assessment of hydropower potential in wastewater systems and application to Switzerland

Anton Schleiss, Luca Rossi, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Philippe Heller, Irene Almeida Samora

Energy recovery through local hydropower generation is a way of coping with high electricity expenditures in wastewater systems (WWS). Installing small hydropower plants within WWS is already in some countries eligible for incentive policy mechanisms to re ...
