Epitaxial growth and atomic arrangement in Fe2CrO4 on crystal symmetry matched (001) MgAl2O4

We report on the chemical, structural, and optical properties of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) synthesized thin films of multifunctional Fe2CrO4 on (001)-oriented MgAl2O4 (MAO). Substrate temperatures near 500 °C are required to obtain smooth films with the expected out-of-plane (OOP) lattice parameter. Mg diffusion from the MAO substrate is kinetically suppressed up to 500 °C. We discuss anti-phase boundaries in symmetry matched epitaxial systems. This research provides new insight into the epitaxial growth and crystalline properties of crystal-symmetry-matched Fe2CrO4/MAO(001) heterostructures.

Potential Dependent Mn Oxidation and Its Role in Passivation of Ni 38 Fe 20 Cr 22 Mn 10 Co 10 Multi-Principal Element Alloy Using Multi-Element Resolved Atomic Emission Spectroelectrochemistry

The identity of passivating oxides on multi-principal element alloys is of great interest as their optimization offers the potential for exceptional corrosion resistance in aqueous solutions over a broad range of potential and pH. This study focuses on a non-equiatomic Ni 38 Fe 20 Cr 22 Mn 10 Co 10 solid solution alloy and tracks the fate of each alloying element during linear sweep voltammetry, low and intermediate potential holds in the passive potential domain as well as during open circuit relaxation after anodic polarization in slightly acidified Cl − solution. Ni dissolves at all potentials investigated in this work, Fe and Co are incorporated into oxides or hydroxides in low concentrations whilst Cr and Mn are enriched at passive potentials. At low passivating potentials, Mn(II) dissolves and is incorporated in minor amounts in oxides containing large concentrations of Cr(III). Considerable enrichment in Mn(II)-species occurs relative to Cr(III) in the oxide at 0.1 V vs SCE. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy suggests the presence of layered oxides with marginal passivation at high Mn(II) levels. The formation of these oxides depends on a combination of thermodynamic and kinetic factors as well as the sequence of passivation.

From Atoms to Wheels: The Role of Multi-Scale Modeling in the Future of Transportation Electrification

Traditionally, prototype hardware is built for validation testing to ensure battery systems design changes meet vehicle-level requirements, which is expensive both in cost and time. Virtual engineering (VE) of battery systems for electric vehicle (EV) propulsion offers a reduced-cost alternative to the traditional development process and uses multi-scale modeling to virtually probe the impact of design changes in a particular part on the overall performance of the system. This allows for rapid iteration over multiple design spaces, without committing to build hardware. This perspective article discusses current trends in VE for EV applications and proposes improvements to accelerate EV adoption.
