Sinter-Resistant Nickel Catalyst for Lignin Hydrogenolysis Achieved by Liquid Phase Atomic Layer Deposition of Alumina

Jeremy Luterbacher, Songlan Sun, Farzaneh Talebkeikhah

Lignin hydrogenolysis is a key step in the sustainable production of renewable bio-based chemicals and fuels. Heterogeneous metal catalysts have led to high yields but they rapidly deactivate, notably due to nanoparticle sintering and carbonaceous deposit ...

Processability, microstructure and precipitation of a Zr-modified 2618 aluminium alloy fabricated by laser powder bed fusion

Christian Leinenbach, Xavier Maeder

Additive manufacturing offers the opportunity to produce complex geometries from novel alloys with improved properties. Adapting conventional alloys to the process-specific properties can facilitate rapid implementation of these materials in industrial pra ...

Three-dimensional in situ imaging of single-grain growth in polycrystalline In2O3:Zr films

Quentin Thomas Jeangros, Monica Morales Masis, Michael Elias Stückelberger

Understanding grain morphology and kinetics of solid-phase crystallization is important for controlling the functional properties of polycrystalline materials. Here, in situ coherent X-ray diffraction imaging and transmission electron microscopy elucidate ...

Effect of Y2O3 dispersoids on microstructure and creep properties of Hastelloy X processed by laser powder-bed fusion

Christian Leinenbach

Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) was used to consolidate powders of a Ni-Cr-Fe-Mo alloy (Hastelloy X) blended with 1 wt% Y2O3 nanometric powders. The nearly-dense, crack-free specimens, with and without oxide dispersion strengthening (ODS), exhibit high-aspe ...

Theory of spontaneous grain boundary roughening in high entropy alloys

William Curtin, Carolina Baruffi

High Entropy Alloys (HEAs) are a new broad class of near-random solid solution alloys that can possess some impressive mechanical and physical properties including high stability against grain growth (i.e. low grain boundary (GB) mobility). Here, it is sho ...

Investigation in Crystal Growth/Morphology and Interface Engineering of Perovskite Solar Cells by Different Deposition Methods

Nadja Isabelle Desiree Klipfel

A new and promising technology has emerged to compete with traditional silicon photovoltaic semiconductors. The low material and processing costs and high-power conversion efficiencies of organic-inorganic metal halide perovskites make these a promising te ...

Bifunctional additive 2-amino-3-hydroxypyridine for stable and high-efficiency tin-lead perovskite solar cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Yi Zhang, Bing Zhang, Keith Gregory Brooks

Tin-lead (Sn-Pb) mixed perovskite has received widespread attention due to its suitable band gap width and high optical absorption coefficients. However, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of Sn-Pb mixed perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is still low due to ...

Skyrmion Control and Phase Transitions in Cu2OSeO3

Thomas Schönenberger

Magnetic skyrmions are nanometric and non-trivial spin textures with non-zero topological charge. Their robustness against perturbations and the possibility to control them using external stimuli make them ideal candidates for future spintronic application ...

Demonstrating and Unraveling a Controlled Nanometer-Scale Expansion of the Vacancy Defects in Graphene by CO2

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Kuang-Jung Hsu, Luis Francisco Villalobos Vazquez de la Parra

A controlled manipulation of graphene edges and vacancies is desired for molecular separation, sensing and electronics applications. Unfortunately, available etching methods always lead to vacancy nucleation making it challenging to control etching. Herein ...

Mechanics of alkali-silica reaction in concrete across scales

Emil Gallyamov

Alkali-silica reaction occurs in concrete between the alkalis contained in the pore solution and silica in the aggregates. Generation of ASR products gives rise to the internal pressures that cause expansion and cracking. Due to its deleterious effect on c ...
