Impact of electrode porosity architecture on electrochemical performances of 1 mm-thick LiFePO4 binder-free Li-ion electrodes fabricated by Spark Plasma Sintering

Thick electrodes with high active material loadings have been intensively studied over the last couple of decades in pursuit of achieving high energy density systems. To optimize and enhance the electrochemical performance of such electrodes, one has to control the pore morphology by, for example, varying the pore size and shape, and the level of porosity. In the present work, the fabrication of thick binder-free LiFePO4 (LFP) electrodes with two different pore sizes (12 and 20 mu m) and porosities (21 vol% and 44 vol%) using Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) and templating approach is reported. The well-controlled porous architecture inside the thick electrodes is realized by fine-tuning experimental parameters. The impact of porosity architecture on electrochemical performance is quantified and correlated with the 3D tortuosity values determined from both micro-computed tomography and electrochemical impedance-based experimental methods. Based on the micro-computed tomography data analysis, estimated tortuosity values along X, Y, and Z axes reveal an anisotropic effect perpendicularly to the SPS compression axis (Z-direction). This is particularly profoundly observed in the samples with larger pores (20 mu m). The correlation between morphological properties and the rate capability performance is established indicating that the capacity loss happens mainly due to the Li-ion diffusion limitations.

Enabling a novel approach to a controlled fabrication of 1D crystalline nanowires on suspended microstructures of arbitrary geometries using two direct-writing technologies

Recent progresses in additive manufacturing have inspired new technologies, such as direct laser writing technique, based on two-photon polymerization (2 PP), which complements and further enriches the nanofabrication tools portfolio. Here, we combine 2 PP and our mask-free scanning probe assisted ‘direct-write patterning’ (DWP) method to allow for: a) the fabrication of micro-bridge structures with sub-micrometer resolution, b) selective synthesis of crystalline ZnO nanowires at predefined locations, respectively. This synergistic approach enables cantilever probe patterning of catalysts directly on suspended micro-bridges for in-situ CVD growth of nanoscale material, in a templated manner. The study reported here represents the first proof-of-concept experiments demonstrating versatile and scalable methodology, which can be applied and straightforwardly extended to grow a variety of other nanomaterials, in a controlled and selective fashion, on freestanding micro/nanoscale structures, whose size and geometry can be conveniently varied via templating of sacrificial 2 PP polymeric scaffolds. Furthermore, the demonstration of the possibility to integrate this new approach with the conventional lithography techniques provides a step forward to the development of the novel class of hybrid polymer-silicon-1D or -2D materials, and systems. The quality of the produced ZnO nanowire assemblies was assessed using several physical characterization methods.

Highly microporous Parinari Curatellifolia carbon nanomaterials for supercapacitors

High surface area nanostructured electrodes are essential for understanding charge storage mechanisms in high capacitance supercapacitors. Additionally, a growing number of studies provide credible evidence that the highest capacitance in carbon nanomaterials is attainable only when the pore size is in micropore range. In this study therefore, micropore-dominatedcarbon materials derived from Parinari curatellifolia (PC) waste seeds are prepared via pyrolysis and subsequent chemical activation with KOH. SEM, EDAX, TEM, Raman, and XRD studies show that the microstructure and composition of the as-prepared microporous carbon materials are influenced by adjusting the KOH to carbon mass ratio. Sorption studies demonstrate a very high BET surface area of 1898 m 2 g –1 , type I isotherm, and 99% micropore content in all the samples. The BET surface area, S micro , V micro , and total volume increased with increasing KOH content during activation. The fabricated electrodes exhibit high specific capacitances of 423 F g –1 at 5 mV s –1 and cyclic stability of 98% after 50000 cycles both of which are indicative of our carbon materials huge potential in making high performance supercapacitors. The specific capacitance increased with the micropore content in the samples signifying that the pores enhanced diffusion and hence the charge storage. The PC carbon materials deliver high specific capacitance due to the enhancement of diffusion and charge storage stemming from the synergetic interplay of the aforementioned textural parameters. As a result, the PC carbon materials therefore provide good prospects for supercapacitor applications.

Observation of a THz-sub-THz spontaneous coherent undulator radiation driven by a low energy electron beam from a thermionic RF electron gun

In this work, we report observations of an intense, multi-band, sub-THz and THz radiation extracted from a similar to 2-3 MeV electron beam with a flat transverse profile propagating in an oversized rectangular waveguide placed into a 3.25 mm gap of a planar undulator having 1.3 cm period and similar to 20 cm length. Radiation outcoupling is accomplished using a horn antenna and a miniature permanent in-vacuum magnet separating the mm-sub-mm-waves and electron beam. A table-top experiment utilizes a radio frequency thermionic electron gun delivering a thousand momentum-chirped microbunches per macropulse and an alpha-magnet producing microbunches of a sub-mm length. Total radiated energy of a sub-millijoule per a microsecond radio frequency macropulse is demonstrated with flux more than ten micro-Joules per centimeter squared. With 1 THz filter the energy measured is about 1 microjoule and flux of a few micro-Joules per centimeter squared.

Predicting material microstructure evolution via data-driven machine learning

The recent rapid rise in data-driven practices in the materials science domain has led to the development of efficient, generalizable, and accurate approaches for several applications, including: material property prediction, mining (micro)structure- property and (micro)structure-processing relationships, and characterization of material microstructures. Central to the materials science domain is linking microstructure to properties and performance, and critical to building such linkages is understanding how microstructures evolve as a function of environmental exposure or processing conditions (e.g., time, temperature, applied stress or strain, irradiation). This preview article summarizes recent work on the development of recurrent neural networks for predicting spatio-temporal microstructure evolution detailed by Yang et al in their manuscript entitled 'Self-supervised Learning and Prediction of Microstructure Evolution with Recurrent Neural Networks'.

Owing to their extremely low shear viscosity and fragility, bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are envisioned as new net-shaping material replacing conventionally used crystalline metals for various applications. The first part of this review describes the general technique and kinetics of thermoplastic forming. The second part elaborates on the thermal processing capability of metallic glasses from atomic- to meter-scale. The micro-/nano-structure obtained after various quenching rates followed by temperature, time and heating rate dependent thermoplastic forming is described in the third section. The deformation behavior and flow kinetics of BMGs in terms of composition, mold features, and applied conditions are elaborated in the fourth section. The variation of volume and enthalpy at the supercooled liquid region, strength retention of metallic glasses compared to other conventional metals and alloys, and kinetics of liquid fragility are given in the fifth section. Finite element modeling and molecular dynamics simulations of high-temperature deformation in BMGs are presented in the sixth part. Finally, thermally-formed BMGs used for different applications, including energy, biomedical and micro-optics, are presented in the final part. Altogether, this review provides an overview of shaping capabilities and modifications in the macro-scale properties and short-to-medium range order of BMGs upon thermoplastic forming.

The mechanical behavior of metal-halide perovskites: Elasticity, plasticity, fracture, and creep

Wide ranging mechanical properties — elasticity, plasticity, fracture, and creep — most relevant to the mechanical reliability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are systematically investigated. High quality bulk single-crystals of the commonly studied metal-halide perovskites (MHPs) relevant to PSCs are fabricated and studied: CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3 (MAPbBr 3 ) and CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 (MAPbI 3 ). The first direct measurement of MHP Young's modulus (E) using uniaxial compression reveals E <100> of 13.1 ± 1.3 and 10.6 ± 1.0 GPa for MAPbBr 3 and MAPbI 3 , respectively. Further, the Vickers micro-hardness H (100) of MAPbBr 3 and MAPbI 3 is 0.54±0.02 GPa and 0.76±0.05 GPa, respectively. The Vickers micro-indentation fracture toughness K IC of MAPbBr 3 and MAPbI 3 is estimated at 0.20±0.03 MPa∙m 0.5 and 0.18±0.03 MPa∙m 0.5 , respectively. The stress-exponent, n, extracted from nanoindentation creep data is ~8 and ~10 for MAPbBr 3 and MAPbI 3 , respectively. The trends in these properties are discussed. These properties are best estimates and are recommended for use in future mechanical behavior and reliability analyses of MHPs and PSCs.

Benzo[$\mathcal{a}$]pyrene toxicokinetics in humans following dietary supplementation with 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM) or Brussels sprouts

Utilizing the atto-zeptomole sensitivity of UPLC-accelerator mass spectrometry (UPLC-AMS), we previously demonstrated significant first-pass metabolism following escalating (25–250 ng) oral micro-dosing in humans of [ 14 C]-benzo[a]pyrene ([ 14 C]-BaP). The present study examines the potential for supplementation with Brussels sprouts (BS) or 3,3' -diindolylmethane (DIM) to alter plasma levels of [ 14 C]-BaP and metabolites over a 48-h period following micro-dosing with 50 ng (5.4 nCi) [ 14 C]-BaP. Volunteers were dosed with [ 14 C]-BaP following fourteen days on a cruciferous vegetable restricted diet, or the same diet supplemented for seven days with 50 g of BS or 300 mg of BR-DIM ® prior to dosing. BS or DIM reduced total [ 14 C] recovered from plasma by 56–67% relative to nonintervention. Dietary supplementation with DIM markedly increased T max and reduced C max for [ 14 C]-BaP indicative of slower absorption. Further, both dietary treatments significantly reduced C max values of four downstream BaP metabolites, consistent with delaying BaP absorption. Dietary treatments also appeared to reduce the T 1/2 and the plasma AUC( 0,$\infty$ ) for Unknown Metabolite C, indicating some effect in accelerating clearance of this metabolite. Toxicokinetic constants for other metabolites followed the pattern for [ 14 C]-BaP (metabolite profiles remained relatively consistent) and non-compartmental analysis did not indicate other significant alterations. Significant amounts of metabolites in plasma were at the bay region of [ 14 C]-BaP irrespective of treatment. Although the number of subjects and large interindividual variation are limitations of this study, it represents the first human trial showing dietary intervention altering toxicokinetics of a defined dose of a known human carcinogen.

Chemical heterogeneity modulated zero thermal expansion alloy over super-wide temperature range

Chemical heterogeneity is usually avoided in solution chemistry, but it may still occur with sometimes dramatic effects on target materials and their properties. Here, we propose chemical heterogeneity as a counterintuitive strategy to design high-performance zero thermal expansion (ZTE) alloys. We apply this approach in a Hf-Ti-Fe alloy with excess Fe in the Hf/Ti sublattice and produce Hf/Ti concentration alternations at the micro level. Such chemical heterogeneity regulates local magnetic interactions in alloy and triggers a dispersed magnetic phase transition that modulates the thermal expansions at the micro level and hence results in a remarkable ZTE behavior over a super-wide temperature window from 10 to 480 K. This mechanism is supported by comprehensive studies on morphological microstructures, crystal and magnetic structures, and theoretical calculations. The strategy of local chemical heterogeneity opens up an avenue to design ZTE and the related functional materials directly via microstructure engineering.

Microphysically modified magnetosonic modes in collisionless, high-β plasmas

With the support of hybrid-kinetic simulations and analytic theory, we describe the nonlinear behaviour of long-wavelength non-propagating (NP) modes and fast magnetosonic waves in high-β collisionless plasmas, with particular attention to their excitation of and reaction to kinetic micro-instabilities. The perpendicularly pressure balanced polarization of NP modes produces an excess of perpendicular pressure over parallel pressure in regions where the plasma β is increased. For mode amplitudes |δB/B 0 |≳0.3, this excess excites the mirror instability. Particle scattering off these micro-scale mirrors frustrates the nonlinear saturation of transit-time damping, ensuring that large-amplitude NP modes continue their decay to small amplitudes. At asymptotically large wavelengths, we predict that the mirror-induced scattering will be large enough to interrupt transit-time damping entirely, isotropizing the pressure perturbations and morphing the collisionless NP mode into the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) entropy mode. In fast waves, a fluctuating pressure anisotropy drives both mirror and firehose instabilities when the wave amplitude satisfies |δB/B 0 |≳2β -1 . The induced particle scattering leads to delayed shock formation and MHD-like wave dynamics. Taken alongside prior work on self-interrupting Alfvén waves and self-sustaining ion-acoustic waves, our results establish a foundation for new theories of electromagnetic turbulence in low-collisionality, high-β plasmas such as the intracluster medium, radiatively inefficient accretion flows and the near-Earth solar wind.

Enabling Microscale Processing: Combined Raman and Absorbance Spectroscopy for Microfluidic On-Line Monitoring

Microfluidics have many potential applications including characterization of chemical processes on a reduced scale, spanning the study of reaction kinetics using on-chip liquid–liquid extractions, sample pretreatment to simplify off-chip analysis, and for portable spectroscopic analyses. The use of in situ characterization of process streams from laboratory-scale and microscale experiments on the same chemical system can provide comprehensive understanding and in-depth analysis of any similarities or differences between process conditions at different scales. A well-characterized extraction of Nd(NO 3 ) 3 from an aqueous phase of varying NO 3– (aq) concentration with tributyl phosphate (TBP) in dodecane was the focus of this microscale study and was compared to an earlier laboratory-scale study utilizing counter current extraction equipment. Here, we verify that this same extraction process can be followed on the microscale using spectroscopic methods adapted for microfluidic measurement. Concentration of Nd (based on UV–vis) and nitrate (based on Raman) was chemometrically measured during the flow experiment, and resulting data were used to determine the distribution ratio for Nd. Extraction distributions measured on the microscale were compared favorably with those determined on the laboratory scale in the earlier study. Both micro-Raman and micro-UV–vis spectroscopy can be used to determine fundamental parameters with significantly reduced sample size as compared to traditional laboratory-scale approaches. This leads naturally to time, cost, and waste reductions.

Efficient Intermolecular Energy Exchange and Soft-ionization of Water at Nanoplatelet Interfaces

X-ray, energetic photon and electron irradiation can ionize and electronically excite target atoms and molecules. These excitations undergo complicated relaxation and energy transfer processes that ultimately determine the manifold of system responses to the deposited excess energy. In weakly bound gas- and solution-phase samples, intermolecular Coulomb decay (ICD) and electron-transfer mediated decay (ETMD) can occur with neighboring atoms or molecules leading to efficient transfer of the excess energy to the surroundings. In ionic solids such as metal-oxides, intra- and inter-atomic Auger decay produces localized final states that lead to lattice damage and typically removal of cations from the substrate. The relative importance of Auger stimulated damage (ASD) versus ICD and ETMD in micro-solvated nanoparticle interfaces is not known. Though ASD is generally expected, essentially no lattice damage and very efficient ICD and ETMD resulting from ionization and electronic excitation of micro-solvated boehmite (AlOOH) nanoplatelets has been observed. Efficient energy transfer and soft ionization of interfacial molecules is likely a general phenomenon at gas-oxyhydroxide nanoparticle interfaces where the density of states of the ionized chemisorbed species significantly overlap the core hole states of the solid.

Phase evolution and amorphous stability upon solid-state reaction in superlattice like Ge–Sb–Te combinatorial thin-film

In this paper, the superlattice-like (SLL) Ge–Sb–Te combinatorial thin films were prepared by using a high-throughput ion beam sputtering system. The phase evolution and amorphous stability of such films undergoing heat treatment as a function of the coating sequence and modulation period were systematically studied. The composition structure diagram was constructed via an automated process of data obtained by high-throughput synchrotron micro-X-ray diffraction and lab-based micro-X-ray fluorescence. Furthermore, the element distribution and microstructure in the depth direction of the SLL thin films were characterized with time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry and transmission electron microscopy, respectively. These studies demonstrated that the coating sequence has a significant effect on the element distribution in the as-deposited SLL thin films and the structure of the final product upon solid-state reaction. Reducing the modulation period of the SLL thin film improves the stability of the amorphous Ge–Sb–Te phase. This work lays a solid foundation for the rational design of SLL Ge–Sb–Te thin films to improve their performance.

Gas-Phase Temperature Mapping of Evaporating Microdroplets

Evaporation is a ubiquitous and complex phenomenon of importance to many natural and industrial systems. Evaporation occurs when molecules near the free interface overcome intermolecular attractions with the bulk liquid. As molecules escape the liquid phase, heat is removed, causing evaporative cooling. The influence of evaporative cooling on inducing a temperature difference with the surrounding atmosphere as well as within the liquid is poorly understood. Here, we develop a technique to overcome past difficulties encountered during the study of heterogeneous droplet evaporation by coupling a piezo-driven droplet generation mechanism to a controlled micro-thermocouple to probe microdroplet evaporation. The technique allowed us to probe the gas-phase temperature distribution using a micro-thermocouple (50 μm) in the vicinity of the liquid–vapor interface with high spatial (±10 μm) and temporal (±100 ms) resolution. We experimentally map the temperature gradient formed surrounding sessile water droplets having varying curvature dictated by the apparent advancing contact angle (100° ≲ θ ≲ 165°). The experiments were carried out at temperatures below and above ambient for a range of fixed droplet radii (130 μm ≲ R ≲ 330 μm). Our results provide a primary validation of the centuries-old theoretical framework underpinning heterogeneous droplet evaporation mediated by the working fluid, substrate, and gas thermophysical properties, droplet apparent contact angle, and droplet size. We show that microscale droplets residing on low-thermal-conductivity substrates such as glass absorb up to 8× more heat from the surrounding gas compared to droplets residing on high-thermal-conductivity substrates such as copper. Finally, our work not only develops an experimental understanding of the heat transfer mechanisms governing droplet evaporation but also presents a powerful platform for the study and characterization of liquid–vapor transport at curved interfaces wetting and nonwetting advanced functional surfaces.

The Role of SnO2 Processing on Ionic Distribution in Double-Cation-Double Halide Perovskites

Moving toward a future of efficient, accessible, and less carbon-reliant energy devices has been at the forefront of energy research innovations for the past 30 years. Metal-halide perovskite (MHP) thin films have gained significant attention due to their flexibility of device applications and tunable capabilities for improving power conversion efficiency. Serving as a gateway to optimize device performance, consideration must be given to chemical synthesis processing techniques. Therefore, how does common substrate processing techniques influence the behavior of MHP phenomena such as ion migration and strain? Here, we demonstrate how a hybrid approach of chemical bath deposition (CBD) and nanoparticle SnO2 substrate processing significantly improves the performance of (FAPbI3)0.97(MAPbBr3)0.03 by reducing micro-strain in the SnO2 lattice, allowing distribution of K+ from K-Cl treatment of substrates to passivate defects formed at the interface and produce higher current in light and dark environments. X-ray diffraction reveals differences in lattice strain behavior with respect to SnO2 substrate processing methods. Through use of conductive atomic force microscopy (c-AFM), conductivity is measured spatially with MHP morphology, showing higher generation of current in both light and dark conditions for films with hybrid processing. Additionally, time-of-flight secondary ionization mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) observed the distribution of K+ at the perovskite/SnO2 interface, indicating K+ passivation of defects to improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE) and device stability. We show how understanding the role of ion distribution at the SnO2 and perovskite interface can help reduce the creating of defects and promote a more efficient MHP device.

Ferroelastic Domain-Induced Electronic Modulation in Halide Perovskites

Lead halide perovskites have emerged as promising materials for optoelectronic applications due to their exceptional properties. In the all-inorganic CsPbBr 3 perovskites, ferroelastic domains formed during phase transitions enhance bulk transport and emissive efficiency. However, the microscopic mechanisms governing carrier dynamics remain poorly understood. In this study, we employ cathodoluminescence (CL) and micro-Raman spectroscopy to image and investigate the electronic properties of the ferroelastic domain walls in CsPbBr 3 single crystals. CL measurements reveal a reduced emissive yield and a slight redshift in emission at the domain walls. Further, micro-Raman studies provide spatially resolved mapping of vibrational modes, exhibiting second-order phonon modes localized at the domain boundaries. In conclusion, our findings suggest that electron–phonon coupling at the twin domain walls plays a critical role in facilitating efficient charge separation, thereby improving the optoelectronic performance of the CsPbBr 3 perovskites.

Liquid–Solid Mixtures of Ga Metal Infused with Cu Microparticles and Nanoparticles for Microscale and Nanoscale Patterning of Solid Metals at Room Temperature

This paper demonstrates and characterizes a simple ink for nanopatterning of solid metallic structures under ambient conditions by taking advantage of the low melting point of gallium and its affinity to form intermetallics with other metals. Bare copper micro- and nanoparticles readily mix with liquid gallium near room temperature to form a paste that ultimately amalgamates into a dense solid when mixed at the appropriate concentration ratios. The paste has sufficient shelf life that can be extruded from a nozzle at modest temperatures to form solid three-dimensional (3D) shapes. Additionally, the paste can be molded at room temperature to replicate feature sizes ranging from a few millimeters down to hundreds of nanometers. In situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermo-mechanical analysis (TMA) data show gallium and copper readily interdiffuse to form the thermodynamically expected intermetallic phase. We describe the capabilities and limitations of a simple way to pattern solid metals in an additive fashion (syringe-based extrusion) and with high resolution (molding) at or near room temperature. Here, the use of a paste that solidifies provides a novel route for 3D printing of solid metals at ambient temperatures as well as the creation of micro- and nanostructured metallic surfaces that may be useful for optics, non-wetting surfaces, or electronic microcomponents.

Probing the Mechanism of Selective Phosphate Adsorption from Wastewater Using Aqueous and Synchrotron X-ray Characterization

Ion exchange shows promise for recovering phosphate from wastewater as value-added products, but requires high phosphate selectivity to compete with conventional treatment. Hybrid anion exchange (HAIX) resins, which contain non-selective basic functional groups and selective iron oxide nanoparticles (FeOnp), can effectively remove phosphate from wastewater. However, knowledge gaps remain regarding the mechanisms of phosphate selectivity and influence of competing ions, hindering needed efforts to model adsorption dynamics and design scalable adsorption processes for varying wastewaters. To address these gaps, we integrated aqueous-phase adsorption analysis with solid-phase, synchrotron-based X-ray characterization; this integration facilitated elucidation of the distribution and speciation of iron, phosphate, and competing anions on HAIX resins. We compared a quaternary ammonium-functionalized HAIX resin (SBA) to a tertiary amine version (WBA) to determine the role of functional groups. X-ray radiography revealed differences in FeOnp speciation (goethite vs. ferrihydrite) and distribution (peripheral vs. homogeneous) between the resins, resulting in varied phosphate affinity and intraparticle diffusion resistance. Using micro-X-ray fluorescence (μ-XRF) and micro-X-ray absorption near-edge structure (μ-XANES) spectroscopy, we identified differences in where and how phosphate binds across resin types and wastewaters. Across wastewater compositions, FeOnp sites in WBA contribute more to phosphate adsorption than in SBA, possibly due to variations in Fe distribution and speciation. Phosphate adsorption densities calculated from quantitative μ-XRF maps matched those from aqueous analysis, demonstrating the effectiveness of this integrated approach. Altogether, results demonstrate the use of synchrotron-based X-ray characterization for investigating adsorption mechanisms and advance HAIX as a phosphate recovery technology from complex wastewaters.
