Tailoring the coefficient of thermal expansion of ternary nickel alloys through compositional control and non-contact measurements

The majority of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are made of silicon, however, future applications will be used in extreme environments, especially at elevated temperatures, and require materials with enhanced properties. Use of metal alloys in these applications will require microscale manufacturability, a balance of physical and mechanical properties and dimensional stability. Here in this paper, we emphasized dimensional stability by reducing the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and present an optical non-contact method for measuring the thermal expansion of planar thin films. A combinatorial approach was employed to determine the CTE of nickel-molybdenum-tungsten (Ni-Mo-W) sputter deposited films over a range of compositions, and the addition of Mo and W is shown to significantly decrease and provide a route for tailoring the CTE with compositional control. Ni-Mo-W alloys were revealed to have CTE values ranging from 8–12 × 10 -6 /°C, matching that of commercial glass substrates that are employed in numerous MEMS devices.

Enhancement of oxidative dehydrogenation over cerium-doped nickel niobium catalysts and analysis of batch-to-batch variability

Nickel based catalysts are inexpensive and efficient for use in the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane. NiO doped with niobium and cerium shows increased ethylene production. Small amounts of Ce doped onto a NiNb catalyst led to increased Ni activity. The catalyst that had the highest ethylene production rate per g of catalyst had 1 atom% Ce, 86 at% Ni, and 13 at% Nb (1CeNiNb) while, if surface area is incorporated into the calculation, the catalyst that had the highest ethylene production rate per m 2 was the 0.5CeNiNb catalyst. The ethylene production rates of these Ce-containing catalysts are 27 %-127 % higher than those with NiNb alone previously reported in the literature. Here, to fully understand how cerium affects the NiNb catalyst, the Ce content and effect on active sites has been fully characterized over multiple batches. In doing this, light has been shed on batch-to-batch variability. Characterization techniques such as powder X-ray diffraction, hydrogen temperature programmed reduction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and methanol adsorption were used.

Consequences of long-term water exposure for bulk crystal structure and surface composition/chemistry of nickel-rich layered oxide materials for Li-ion batteries

Water exposure of layered nickel-rich transition metal oxide electrodes, widely used in high-energy lithium-ion batteries, has detrimental effects on the electrochemical performance, which complicates electrode handling and prevents implementation of environmentally benign aqueous processing procedures. Elucidating the degradation mechanisms in play may help rationally mitigate/circumvent key challenges. Here, the bulk structural consequences of long-term (>2.5 years) deuterated water (D2O) exposure of intercalation materials with compositions Li x Ni 0.5 Co 0.2 Mn 0.3 O 2 (NCM523) and Li x Ni 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O 2 (NCM811) are studied by neutron powder diffraction (NPD). Detailed inspection of the NPD data reveals gradual formation of a secondary crystalline phase in all exposed samples, not previously reported for this system. This unknown phase forms faster in liquid- compared to vapor-exposed compounds. Structural modelling of the NPD data shows a stable level of Li/Ni anti-site defects and does not indicate any significant changes in lattice parameters or hydrogen-lithium (D + /Li + ) exchange in the structure. Consequently, the secondary phase formation must take place via transformation rather than modification of the parent material. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data indicate formation of LiHCO 3 /Li 2 CO 3 at the surface and a Li-deficient oxide in the sub-surface region of the pristine compounds, and the presence of adsorbed water and transition metal hydroxides at the exposed sample surfaces.

Direct reuse of graphite and lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) recovered from ultrafast-laser ablation debris in Li-ion battery electrodes

Here we demonstrate that debris collected from the ultrafast-laser ablation of graphite anodes can be directly reused in a lithium-ion battery with little to no negative effects on electrochemical performance. Further, we show that while post-ablation NMC (LiNi 0.33 Mn 0.33 Co 0.33 O) cathode debris will require additional processing before being incorporated into an electrode, its critical materials (nickel, manganese, and cobalt) are not lost during ablation and can be recovered for recycling. Pre- and post-ablation materials are characterized with a suite of diagnostics, including SEM, TEM, X-ray CT, EDS, and XRD, to study changes in material morphology, composition and crystal structure. Graphite exhibited little to no morphological or compositional changes and a slight annealing of its crystal structure. NMC underwent profound morphological and crystallographic changes, but retained its elemental composition. Finally, post-ablation materials were re-manufactured into electrodes and cycled vs lithium metal. Graphite showed equal or better capacity and Coulombic efficiency compared to pre-ablation electrodes, while the post-ablation NMC exhibited severely reduced electrochemical performance. Furthermore, we discuss the outlook for application of this work to advanced manufacturing lines that produce next-generation, laser-patterned electrodes.

The impact of nickel concentration and stacking fault energy on deformation mechanisms in high-purity austenitic Fe-Cr-Ni alloys

Understanding how composition affects deformation mechanisms in austenitic stainless steels is essential for developing accurate predictive models of stress-induced failures and stress corrosion cracking. Nickel (Ni), an element classified as a critical element, plays a crucial role in these processes. It is important to examine how Ni concentration influences stacking fault energy (SFE) and, consequently, the deformation mechanisms of austenitic stainless steels. However, in commercial stainless steels, the effects of other alloying elements and impurities can obscure Ni's role, complicating efforts to isolate its impact. Here, in this study, we use two high-purity Fe-Cr-Ni alloys to investigate how Ni concentration and SFE interact to alter deformation mechanisms and induce martensitic transformation. By combining in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) tensile testing and post-mortem electron microscopy with density functional theory simulations, we gain precise insights into these phenomena. We find that the Fe18Cr10Ni (wt%) alloy, with its low SFE, exhibits higher stacking fault probability, deformation-induced martensitic transformation, and a lesser increase in dislocation density with plastic strain. In contrast, the Fe18Cr14Ni (wt%) alloy, with its higher SFE, shows enhanced deformation twinning and greater dislocation density with increasing strain. These findings from high-purity ternary alloys provide valuable insights that can guide the search for alternative elements to replace Ni while achieving similar effects on phase stability and deformation behavior.

Copper-nickel electroplating of 3D-printed acrylonitrile butadiene styrene for interference and radiation shielding applications

Here, in this study, electromagnetic and radiation shielding structures were fabricated by 3D printing acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) structures via fused filament fabrication and electroplating with copper (Cu) and nickel (Ni) metals. Prior to electroplating, the printed ABS materials were made conductive by surface electrodeposition of polypyrrole (PPy). ABS adsorbs the pyrrole monomer, which subsequently polymerizes via oxidation forming conductive PPy layer on the printed structures. The successful anchoring of PPy layer can be attributed to its hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions with ABS. Thermal analysis, optical, and electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive X-ray were employed to characterize the printed shielding structures, while the interference and radiation shielding effectiveness were evaluated using a spectrum analyzer and dosimeter, respectively. The interference shielding was found to be effective at 60 ± 5 dB over relatively small frequency range. Shielding was also apparent against gamma and X-ray ionizing rays, but more significantly effective against beta rays. Furthermore, the Cu/Ni coating was able to reduce any heat-induced dimensional changes for the 3D printed ABS substrate without compromising the mechanical integrity.

Selective determination of grain size in the electrodeposition of nanocrystalline nickel foils

There are many synthesis methods through phase space to produce nanostructures in metals. Condensation methods with rapid solidification are extensively explored from the gas or liquid phase. In particular, electrodeposition using pulsed currents favors continuous nucleation in the processing of structures to produce free-standing sheets as well as protective coatings for surfaces. An analysis approach used to develop the method for refining the structure and surface finish for nanocrystalline gold-copper alloy coatings relates the energy in each deposition pulse to the constituent grain size that forms during growth. Application is now pursued to evaluate a select determination of the grain size for nanocrystalline nickel foils synthesized by pulsed electrodeposition. The mechanical behaviors of hardness and rate-sensitivity of strength are assessed as function of grain size.

Molecular dynamics study of interstitial He clusters in nickel

This study presents a molecular dynamics analysis focusing on the behavior of interstitial helium (He) clusters in nickel (Ni), examining their formation, stability, and migration energetics. Consistent with previous research, we found that the binding energies of interstitial helium within a helium cluster are positive and increase with the cluster size, indicating a preference for helium atoms to cluster together. However, our findings also reveal that while the formation energy increases monotonically with cluster size, the increase in binding energy is non-monotonic. Importantly, small He clusters were observed to be thermally unstable at reactor operational temperatures (approximately 600 K), with the He 2 cluster exhibiting instability even at room temperature. With a binding energy of 0.49 eV for a He 4 cluster, we hypothesize that for helium bubbles to form via homogeneous nucleation (i.e., through trap mutation) at reactor operating temperatures, the helium concentration must be high enough to facilitate the formation of helium clusters of at least size 4 or larger. As expected, interstitial helium and small helium clusters are highly mobile. This mobility was observed not only at room temperature but also at temperatures as low as approximately 200 K. Furthermore, the mean squared displacement method has been utilized to determine the migration barriers and the corresponding prefactors for clusters ranging from He 1 to He 6

Defect engineering in nickel via electrodeposition following low temperature annealing

Electrodeposited nickel coatings are characterized by high densities of crystalline defects including dislocations, growth twins, and hydrogen bubbles/voids, arising from the non-equilibrium nature of deposition. While these metastable features influence as-deposited properties, their evolution under low temperature annealing remains unexplored. Here, in this study, we demonstrate that low temperature annealing (200 °C) induces significant microstructural rearrangement without grain growth, enabling defect engineering through thermally assisted dislocation motion and twin boundary migration. Notably, we observe faceted twin boundaries and dislocation organization into extended networks, which have been rarely reported under such annealing conditions. These transformations are attributed to hydrogen-assisted defect mobility, facilitated by the release or redistribution of hydrogen trapped during deposition. These structural transformations correlate with a significant enhancement in mechanical properties, including a twofold increase in yield strength and improved ductility. Our findings highlight the role of trapped hydrogen in mediating low-temperature defect mobility and twin boundary evolution, offering a unique pathway for microstructural tuning of metallic coatings through controlled annealing.

First-principles study of the structures and redox mechanisms of Ni-rich lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxides

To reduce the cobalt (Co) content in lithium-ion batteries, Ni-rich (high-Ni) lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxides (NMC) are pursued as one of the next-generation cathode materials. However, there is still debate on the crystal and electronic structures of the baseline, LiNiO 2 . Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations were performed to provide a theoretical understanding of Ni-rich NMC. First, it was found that the commonly used $R\bar{3}m$ structure for LiNiO 2 is metallic, contrary to the experimentally reported mix-conducting behavior. Among the four different space groups, $R\bar{3}m$, C2/m, P2 1 /c, and P2/c, P2/c with charge disproportionation of Ni 2+ and Ni 4+ is the most energetically stable and semiconducting structure of LiNiO 2 . Therefore, the atomic structures of representative Ni-rich NMC were built by partially replacing Ni with Co or Mn in the P2/c LiNiO 2 to form Li x Ni y Mn z Co 1-y-z O 2 . In the fully lithiated (x=1.0) high Ni content NMC (y>0.5), the oxidation state of all Mn ions becomes 4+, while Co ions still maintain 3+, and part of the Ni ions become 3+ to compensate for the charge. Upon delithiation, the local environment shows more variation of the charge states on the transition metal (TM) ions. The average oxidation on each TM follows a sequence of losing electrons that starts from Ni 2+ to Ni 3+ , then oxidizing Ni 3+ and Co 3+ , while Mn 4+ remains electrochemically inactive till x=0. Finally, a general relationship for the oxidation state change in each TM as a function of x is derived and shows agreement with both modeling and experimental data.

Synthesis and characterization of isotopically barcoded nickel, molybdenum, and tungsten taggants for intentional nuclear forensics

Intentional nuclear forensics is a concept wherein the deliberate addition of benign and persistent material signatures to nuclear material can be used to reduce the time between the discovery of material outside of regulatory control and determination of its original provenance. One concept within intentional nuclear forensics involves the use of perturbed stable isotopes to generate unique isotope ratio “barcodes” to encode information (e.g., production batch, location, etc.) and track material throughout the nuclear fuel cycle. Synthesis of taggant species of nickel (Ni), molybdenum (Mo), and tungsten (W) was undertaken via a double-spike mechanism, wherein two highly enriched isotopes of interest per elemental taggant were mixed to form an enriched “double-spike” which was subsequently isotopically diluted with bulk material having a natural isotopic composition. Two taggant species perturbing isotopic ratios, alpha (α) and beta (β), for each of Ni, Mo, and W were synthesized. Independent measurements of double spikes and alpha and beta taggant species agreed within uncertainty and are clearly resolvable from natural compositions. High-precision analyses were independently performed by MC-ICP-MS at two U.S. National Laboratories, with consensus values and uncertainties calculated for all samples. Observed isotopic perturbations in the final taggant species measured on the order of hundreds to thousands of permille (‰) with respect to natural for isotope ratios of interest (e.g., 60 Ni/ 58 Ni, 100 Mo/ 98 Mo, 186 W/ 183 W). Discrepancies between modeled and measured isotopic compositions were observed and are largely attributed to imprecise vendor assay values for starting materials. Using measured starting material compositions as inputs for the mixing model improved the level of agreement between predicted and measured α and β taggant isotope ratios. Overall, characterization of all taggant species demonstrates that this “barcode” concept could have viability for use in nuclear forensics. Finally, it is expected that for any two-isotope mixing array dozens of isotopic barcodes could be encoded into a material system and subsequently resolved utilizing modern mass spectrometric methods.

Flux Growth of Cerium Nickel Gallides Studied by In Situ Neutron Diffraction

In this work, reactions of cerium and nickel in excess molten gallium were monitored by neutron diffraction during heating and cooling. The formation of binary intermediates CeGa 2 and Ni 2 Ga 3 was observed during heating. During cooling of the molten mixture from 900 °C, precipitation of BaAl 4 -type CeNi 0.74 Ga 3.26 occurred at 850 °C. Upon cooling to 650 °C, this compound reacted in the flux to form Ce 2 NiGa 10 and then Ce 2 NiGa 12 , the latter of which persisted to room temperature. Making use of this information, subsequent reactions were quenched at 750 °C to isolate crystals of CeNi 0.74 Ga 3.26 for further study. Similar reactions replacing Ce with La and quenching above 750 °C yielded LaNi 0.35 Ga 3.65 crystals. Magnetic susceptibility studies on CeNi 0.74 Ga 3.26 indicate that the cerium is trivalent; the Ce 3+ moments undergo a strongly anisotropic ferromagnetic ordering with moment perpendicular to the c axis below 7 K. Heat capacity data show little evidence of heavy fermion behavior. Resistivity measurements show that both LaNi0.35Ga3.65 and CeNi 0.74 Ga 3.26 exhibit metallic behavior. Density of states calculations support this and indicate that Ni/Ga mixing in the compound stabilizes the structure.

Fluorinated High-Voltage Electrolytes To Stabilize Nickel-Rich Lithium Batteries

As state-of-the-art (SOA) lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries approach their specific energy limit (~250 Wh kg -1 ), layer-structured, nickel-rich (Ni-rich) lithium transition metal oxide-based cathode materials, e. g., LiNi 0.8 Mn 0.1 Co 0.1 O 2 (NMC811), have attracted great interest owing to their practical high specific capacities (>200 mAhg -1 ). Coupled with their high average discharge voltages (~4 V vs Li/Li + ), Ni-rich cathode-based lithium batteries possess a great potential to achieve much higher specific energies (>350 Wh kg -1 at the cell level) than the SOA Li-ion counterparts. In addition, Ni-rich oxides are low-cost battery cathode materials due to their low cobalt contents. However, Ni-rich cathode-based lithium batteries suffer quick capacity degradations upon cycling, particularly at high upper cutoff voltages (e.g., ≥= 4.5 V vs Li/Li + ), due to crystal structure changes of the active cathode materials and parasitic side reactions at the electrolyte/electrode interfaces. In this study, a fluorinated-solvent-based, high-voltage stable electrolyte (HVE), i.e., 1 M Li bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) in fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC), bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) carbonate (FDEC), and methyl (2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) carbonate (FEMC) with Li difluoro(oxalate)borate (LiDFOB) additive, was formulated and evaluated in Li/NMC811 battery cells. Further, to the best of our knowledge, this class of electrolyte has not been investigated for Ni-rich cathode-based lithium batteries. Li/NMC811 cells with HVE exhibited a superior long-term cycle performance stability, maintaining ~80% capacity after ~500 cycles at a high cutoff voltage of 4.5 V (vs Li/Li + ) than a baseline carbonate-solvent-based electrolyte (BE). The superior cycle stability of the Li/NMC811 cells is attributed to the inherently high-voltage stability of HVE, supported by the physical and electrochemical analyses. This conclusion is supported by our density functional theory (DFT) modeling where HVE shows a less tendency of deprotonation/oxidation than BE, leading to the observed cycle stability. The findings in this study are important to help tackle the technical challenges facing Ni-rich cathode-based lithium batteries to realize their high energy density potentials with a long cycle life.

Delineating the Factors Impacting the Electrochemical Behavior of Single-Crystal High-Nickel Layered Oxide Cathodes

High-nickel (Ni) (≥80%) single-crystal LiNi 1-x-y Mn x Co y O 2 (NMCs) have garnered recent interest as cathodes in lithium (Li)-ion batteries (LIBs). However, capacity fade at high voltages, particularly after the onset of the H2–H3 phase transition, hampers their viability. In this study, single-crystal LiNi 0.8 Mn x Co 0.2-x O 2 (x = 0.2, 0.1, 0) are synthesized and tested in LiPF 6 in ethyl methyl carbonate-based electrolytes, with and without monofluoroethylene carbonate and LiF 2 PO 2 additives, to clarify the effects of Co/Mn ratio and surface stabilization on high-voltage cycling degradation. By imposing a kinetic barrier to the accessible H2–H3 capacity, surface reconstruction is identified as the primary driver of high-voltage capacity loss, being greater in the Co-free cathode and in the absence of fluorinated electrolyte components. This is attributed to a synergy between increased mechanical stress due to worsened bulk and interfacial H2–H3 kinetics and decreased interfacial stability due to the poor passivating capability of the electrolyte. Here, the findings highlight the importance of limiting cathode impedance growth during high-voltage cycling, which can be achieved by tuning bulk dopants and electrolyte chemistry.

Nickel Sulfide-Nanowire-Filled Carbon Nanotubes as an Efficient Overall Water Splitting Electrocatalyst

Pursuing stable, efficient, and cost-effective nanostructured bifunctional electrocatalysts is crucial for advancing the electrochemical water splitting process and enabling clean hydrogen energy production. In recent years, considerable efforts have focused on developing highly efficient and durable commercial electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and overall water splitting (OWS). This research introduces an OWS electrocatalyst-nickel sulfide-filled carbon nanotubes grown on a carbon cloth substrate (Ni 3 S 2 @CNTs/CC), synthesized via a one-step in-situ process. The synergistic integration of metal sulfide (Ni 3 S 2 ) and carbon nanotubes provides abundant active sites for catalytic reactions, ensuring a robust composite nanostructure with enhanced durability. Furthermore, the electrocatalytic performance for OER and OWS has been significantly improved by a simple acid treatment to the electrocatalysts, which introduces physical and chemical defects, particularly oxygen functional groups (the acid-treated sample is termed as Ni 3 S 2 @CNTs/CC-AT). As OER electrocatalysts, Ni 3 S 2 @CNTs/CC and Ni 3 S 2 @CNTs/CC-AT present overpotentials of 304 and 200 mV, respectively, for achieving a current density of 10 mA/cm 2 in the OER process. Furthermore, for complete water splitting in 1.0 M KOH electrolyte, Ni 3 S 2 @CNTs/CC and Ni 3 S 2 @CNTs/CC-AT exhibit potentials of 1.63 and 1.44 V, respectively, to achieve a current density of 10 mA/cm 2 when employed as both anode and cathode. Moreover, Ni 3 S 2 @CNTs/CC and Ni 3 S 2 @CNTs/CC-AT demonstrate durable nature for 22 and 20 h durability in the OER and OWS processes, respectively, offering a promising alternative to ruthenium- and iridium-based electrocatalysts for electrochemical hydrogen production through water splitting. In conclusion, the in-situ synthesis method and acid treatment strategy described in this research are promising approaches to fabricating high-performance encapsulated carbon-nanotube-based electrocatalysts.

Electrolyte Regulating toward Stabilization of Cobalt-Free Ultrahigh-Nickel Layered Oxide Cathode in Lithium-Ion Batteries

Cobalt (Co)-free ultrahigh-nickel (Ni) layered oxides exhibit a double-edged competitive advantages in reducing the cathode cost and boosting the energy density, promising the sustainable development of batteries for electric vehicles. However, the increased Ni content, resultantly more highly oxidative Ni 4+ , potentially induces severe capacity fading due to the aggravated side reactions, limiting the practical applications. Here, we evaluate the compatibility of two localized high-concentration electrolytes (LHCEs) with LiNi 0.96 Mg 0.02 Ti 0.02 O 2 (NMT) cathode under a high charging voltage of 4.4 V in lithium ion batteries. The LHCE with EC additive enables the formation of stable interfacial layers on both NMT cathode and graphite anode, thus realizing a capacity retention of 97.2% over 200 cycles at 25 °C and high reversible capacities of ~180.2 and ~185.8 mAh g -1 , respectively, at 5C charge rate and 5C discharge rate. This study offers a promising approach to enable Co-free ultrahigh-Ni layered oxides for practical applications.

Metal Foam Morphology Affects the Run to Run Reproducibility of OER Using Nickel Catalysts

Nickel (Ni) foam-based electrodes are excellent catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction; however, we found that the random pore-size distribution of Ni foams contributes to a significant variability in electrochemically active surface area, compromising experimental reproducibility. We provide insights into quantifying this critical material property, verified by four electrochemical laboratories.
