Spinel Protective Coatings for Solid Oxide Cell (SOC) Interconnects (ICs)

AbstractThe degradation of metal interconnects (ICs) in Solid Oxide Cells (SOCs) primarily results from chromium (Cr) oxide scale growth on stainless-steel substrates, causing ohmic loss and air-side electrode poisoning by Cr. This thesis addresses these c ...

Ionic Liquid Gating of SrTiO3 Lamellas Fabricated with a Focused Ion Beam

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Evgeny Mikheev, Amelia Emily-Kay Estry

In this work, we combine two previously incompatible techniques for defining electronic devices: shaping three-dimensional crystals by focused ion beam (FIB), and two-dimensional electrostatic accumulation of charge carriers. The principal challenge for th ...

Tribological properties of gold matrix composite coatings with carbon nanocapsules containing ionic liquid lubricants

Stefano Mischler

Self-lubricating, gold matrix composite coatings were produced by electrochemical codeposition of carbon nanocapsules filled with ionic liquid (IL) from a colloidal galvanic bath on a nickel electrode. The tribological response of the composite coatings wa ...

Oxide versus Nonoxide Cathode Materials for Aqueous Zn Batteries: An Insight into the Charge Storage Mechanism and Consequences Thereof

Alfredo Pasquarello, Assil Bouzid

Aqueous Zn-ion batteries, which are being proposed as large-scale energy storage solutions because of their unparalleled safety and cost advantage, are composed of a positive host (cathode) material, a metallic zinc anode, and a mildly acidic aqueous elect ...

Method to Measure Area Specific Resistance and Chromium Migration Simultaneously from Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Interconnect Materials

Jan Van Herle, Michele Bianco

Chromium evaporation is identified as a major degradation mechanism in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stacks. The major chromium source is the commonly used stainless steel interconnects, thus raising a need for protective coatings on the interconnect steel. ...

Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells on Quasi-mono Wafers

Christophe Ballif, Antoine Descoeudres, Matthieu Despeisse, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Loris Barraud, Jan Haschke, Raphaël Monnard, Brahim Aissa

We applied hydrogen passivation, gettering and a combination of both to quasi-mono (qm) wafer material to enhance its bulk lifetime and prepared silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells. We find that while our applied hydrogen passivation alone seems not t ...

Thin films for Healthcare Acquired Infections (HAIs) prevention

Sami Rtimi

This thesis addresses the preparation of antibacterial surfaces for hospital facilities taking biomedical thin polymer films, textiles and catheter as probes. Magnetron sputtering is used to apply the coatings leading to fast bacterial inactivation in the ...

Influence of Zinc Anisotropy on Solidification Microstructures: Experimental Results and Phase-Field Simulations

Alexandre Durussel

Due to a distortion of its hexagonal unit cell along the c-axis compared to hexagonal-close-packed metals (c/a = 1.856 instead of 1.633), zinc is characterised by a large anisotropy of its solid-liquid interfacial energy. While previous studies have focuse ...

Three-dimensional polymeric microtiles for optically-tracked fluidic self-assembly

Jürgen Brugger, Alcherio Martinoli, Massimo Mastrangeli

Self-assembly (SA) is a bio-inspired key coordination mechanism for swarms of intelligent agents as well as a pervasive bottom-up methodology for the fabrication of heterogeneous micro- and nanosystems. Analytical studies of SA at small scales are therefor ...
