Electrode Impact on the Electrical Breakdown of Dielectric Elastomer Thin Films

Herbert Shea, Fabio Beco Albuquerque

Dielectric Elastomer Actuators (DEAs) enable the realization of energy-efficient and compact actuator systems. DEAs operate at the kilovolt range with typically microampere-level currents and hence minimize thermal losses in comparison to low voltage/high ...

Transparent Porous Conductive Substrates for Gas-Phase Photoelectrochemical Hydrogen Production

Kevin Sivula, Jun Ho Yum, Marina Caroline Michèle Caretti, Benjamin Goldman, Rebekah Anne Wells, Simon Nussbaum, Emeline Cécile Rideau, Loï Charles Carbone, Elizaveta Potapova Mensi, Linda Lazouni

Gas diffusion electrodes are essential components of common fuel and electrolysis cells but are typically made from graphitic carbon or metallic materials, which do not allow light transmittance and thus limit the development of gas-phase based photoelectr ...

Tribological behaviour of galvanic gold coatings reinforced with silica nanoparticles

Stefano Mischler, Anna Neus Igual Muñoz

Electroplated composite Au/SiO2 coatings on a nickel substrate have been produced by dispersing an emulsion of silica nanoparticles (20 nm in diameter) in an industrial hard-gold bath. The tribological behaviour of the Au/SiO2 coatings with different SiO2 ...

Fretting-corrosion behavior of electroless Ni-P/Ni-P-TiO2 coatings obtained on AZ91D magnesium alloy by a chromium-free process

Stefano Mischler, Angela Bermudez Castañeda

Ni-P electroless coatings are widely applied for protection of magnesium alloys and other materials due to the low energy consumption of the process and high resistance to corrosion and wear, properties that can be improved with the incorporation of partic ...

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

Stefano Mischler, Anna Neus Igual Muñoz

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 ...

Reproducibility warning: The curious case of polyethylene glycol 6000 and spheroid cell culture

Francesco Stellacci, Quy Ong Khac, Ahmet Bekdemir, Zhi Luo

Reproducibility of results is essential for a well-designed and conducted experiment. Several reasons may originate failure in reproducing data, such as selective reporting, low statistical power, or poor analysis. In this study, we used PEG6000 samples fr ...

Sodium plating and stripping from Na-β"-alumina ceramics beyond 1000 mA/cm2

Sophia Haussener, Corsin Battaglia, Daniel Alexander Landmann

Dendrite formation limits the cycle life of lithium and sodium metal anodes and remainsa major challenge for their integration into next-generation batteries, even whenreplacing the liquid electrolyte by a solid electrolyte. Voids forming in solid metal an ...

Tribological response of multilayered gold nickel coating deposited on fine turned surfaces

Stefano Mischler, Valentine Agnès Madeleine Magnin

Gold coating are widely used in industry due to their corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity and low contact resistance. However, friction and wear can limit their functionality and lifetime. This study addresses the degradation of a commercial fine ...

'Green' Cr(iii)-glycine electrolyte for the production of FeCrNi coatings: electrodeposition mechanisms and role of by-products in terms of coating composition and microstructure

Stefano Mischler, Johann Michler, Enrico Bertero

The electrodeposition of stainless steel-like FeCrNi alloys for miniaturised devices is appealing as it would allow combining excellent material properties (e.g. corrosion resistance, hardness, biocompatibility) at low-cost. However, conventional baths oft ...
