Dopant Optimization of Donors in Semiconductor Opening Switches to Eliminate Prepulse

Semiconductor opening switches are solid-state devices capable of delivering nanosecond, hundreds of kilovolts pulses by interrupting kiloamps of current. The interruption of the current occurs in a moderately doped p-region when a high electric field region (HFR) is formed. The HFR occurs because the reverse pumping current cannot be supported by the saturation velocity and majority carrier concentration of the doping level. However, the donor profile also significantly affects the pulse performance. A secondary prepulse occurs if a secondary HFR is formed at the interface of the background n-doping and N+ doping (X n ) . By moving the location of X n deeper into the diode, the effect of the prepulse is reduced. This article investigates the effect of the donor doping profile on the performance metrics of semiconductor opening switches through technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulations and experimental results. Through a SILVACO TCAD optimization, we designed a P + /p/n - base/n/N + where the intersection of the moderate p-region and intrinsic n-base region (X p ) is at 160 μm and X n is at 220 μm. This profile is fabricated via silicon epitaxy. Experimentally, it is shown that a deep X n (220 μm) compared with a shallow X n (300 μm) reduces the rise time by >5× . In addition, the magnitude of current density during interruption affects the prepulse foot and pulse shape. At lower current densities without the graded donor profile, high peak voltages are not achieved. Comparing the experimental results to the TCAD simulations shows that the model is predictive under high-current densities in the semiconductor opening switch (SOS) regime.

Evaluation of current density measurement methods for high-current, low-beta electron beams

Recent current density measurements with a low-beta electron beam (β=0.5-0.75) are strongly affected by electron scatter and Cherenkov limits. These invasive measurements are heavily influenced by the electron energy and the intercepting material properties: density, index of refraction, and atomic number. We evaluate various measurement methods, including x-ray scintillation and Cherenkov emission. To optimize the x-ray scintillation technique for this energy regime, metal foils of differing atomic number (Z) and thickness were placed upstream of a scintillation screen. We have selected Cherenkov emitters, based on a material refractive index, in order to differentiate the contributions from electron scatter and produced fluorescence, Cherenkov emission, and total internal reflection. The observed distributions for both approaches are verified through MCNP6®. Additionally, the simulations provide insight as to what physical processes dominate the measured distribution. We conclude by determining the limits and optimal measurement range for each measurement technique.

The Microscopic Mechanism of Lithiation and Delithiation in the Ag/C Buffer Layer for Anode‐Free Solid‐State Batteries

Abstract Lithium metal solid‐state batteries (LMSSBs) have demonstrated their high energy density and cycling performance at high current densities in an anode‐free architecture, featuring a thin Ag/C composite buffer layer (BL) between the current collector (CC) and the solid electrolyte (SE). This study explains the microscopic mechanism of the Ag/C BL by using first‐principles atomistic and continuum modeling. It is shown that Ag effectively acts as a homogeneous solid‐solution beyond AgLi 2.32 and maintains a positive potential even at AgLi 25 during lithiation. Key factors underlying the working of the Ag/C BL include lower interfacial resistance at the BL/CC interface than at the BL/SE interface, leading to predominant Li deposition on BL/CC, and substantial Ag–Li volume expansion during lithiation. This, combined with stronger BL/SE adhesion, causes BL/SE separation and Ag–Li extrusion toward the CC side. During delithiation, Ag re‐precipitates as nanoparticles uniformly on the CC, with its positive lithiation potential homogenizing Li currents in subsequent cycles. Other metals are less effective due to their relatively large overpotential, premature lithiation termination, and limited volume expansions hindering movement toward the CC. The study aids the BL design, focusing on metal choice and optimization material and microstructural properties, such as the Li‐ion conductivity and interfacial resistance.

Carrier dynamics in blue, cyan, and green InGaN/GaN LEDs measured by small-signal electroluminescence

We study the carrier dynamics for c-plane InGaN/GaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with various emission wavelengths near the green gap using a small-signal electroluminescence method. The LEDs were grown by Lumileds using state-of-the-art growth conditions. Radiative and non-radiative recombination rates are numerically separated, and the carrier recombination lifetime and carrier density are obtained. Experiment shows that the causes of efficiency reduction at longer wavelength in the present structures are injection efficiency decrease, radiative recombination rate decrease, and imbalance of the increase in Auger–Meitner and radiative terms due to the interplay between the carrier–current density relationship and the quantum-confined Stark effect (QCSE). Here, the effects of QCSE, phase-space filling, and the carrier–current density relationship on efficiency reduction at longer wavelengths are examined separately with experimental data and Schrödinger–Poisson calculations. In addition, we confirm the scaling law between C(n) and B(n) under electrical injection and find that the increase in carrier density at a given current density is the primary cause for lower radiative efficiency at high current density in longer wavelength LEDs. Conversely, we do not observe a significant efficiency reduction at longer wavelengths from extrinsic material degradation.

High-current, high-voltage AlN Schottky barrier diodes

AlN Schottky barrier diodes with low ideality factor (<1.2), low differential ON-resistance (<0.6 mΩ cm 2 ), high current density (>5 kA cm −2 ), and high breakdown voltage (680 V) are reported. The device structure consisted of a two-layer, quasi-vertical design with a lightly doped AlN drift layer and a highly doped Al 0.75 Ga 0.25 N ohmic contact layer grown on AlN substrates. A combination of simulation, current–voltage measurements, and impedance spectroscopy analysis revealed that the AlN/AlGaN interface introduces a parasitic electron barrier due to the conduction band offset between the two materials. This barrier was found to limit the forward current in fabricated diodes. Further, we show that introducing a compositionally-graded layer between the AlN and the AlGaN reduces the interfacial barrier and increases the forward current density of fabricated diodes by a factor of 10 4 .

A Morphologically Stable Li/Electrolyte Interface for All-Solid-State Batteries Enabled by 3D-Micropatterned Garnet

Morphological degradation at the Li/solid-state electrolyte (SSE) interface is a prevalent issue causing performance fading of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). To maintain the interfacial integrity, most ASSBs are operated under low current density with considerable stack pressure, which significantly limits their widespread usage. In this work, a novel 3D-micropatterned SSE (3D-SSE) that can stabilize the morphology of the Li/SSE interface even under relatively high current density and limited stack pressure is reported. Under the pressure of 1.0 MPa, the Li symmetric cell using a garnet-type 3D-SSE fabricated by laser machining shows a high critical current density of 0.7 mA cm –2 and stable cycling over 500 h under 0.5 mA cm –2 . This excellent performance is attributed to the reduced local current density and amplified mechanical stress at the Li/3D-SSE interface. These two effects can benefit the flux balance between Li stripping and creep at the interface, thereby pre-venting interfacial degradation such as void formation and dendrite growth.

Chapter 10: Electrochemical Reactors

An electrolyzer capable of converting CO2 into carbon-based fuels and chemicals will need to operate at current densities in excess of 200 mA cm-2 for industrial applications. This chapter provides a comprehensive review of design considerations for electrolytic flow cell reactors capable of operation at these high current densities. We highlight how the dynamic chemical environment at these conditions is differentiated from experimental conditions more common to academic investigations, and provide a survey of reactor architectures that are being investigated for mediating the CO2 reduction reaction.

Electrolyte Design for NMC811||SiO x -Gr Lithium-Ion Batteries with Excellent Low-Temperature and High-Rate Performance

The use of high-nickel NMC811 cathode and SiO x -Gr anode can greatly improve the overall energy densities of lithium-ion batteries. However, the unfavorable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer generated from the decomposition of EC-based electrolytes lead to the poor cycling stability of NMC811||SiO x -Gr cells. Here we report an electrolyte design of 1.5 M LiPF 6 dissolved in FEC/MA/BN 2:2:6 by volume, which can form thin, robust, and homogeneous SEI layer to greatly improve the charge transfer at the electrode-electrolyte interface. Importantly, the designed electrolyte shows an outstanding low temperature performance that it can deliver a capacity of 123.3 mAh g –1 after 50 cycles at −20 °C with a current density of 0.5 C, overwhelming the standard EC-based electrolyte (1.2 M LiPF 6 EC/EMC 3:7 by volume) with a capacity of 35.7 mAh g –1 . The electrolyte also has a superior rate performance that it achieves a capacity of 122.5 mAh g −1 at a high current density of 10 C. Moreover, the LTE electrolyte holds the great potential of extreme fast-charging ability because of the large part of CC contribution in the CCCV charging model at high charging current densities.

Novel Electrowinning Reactor for the Energy-Efficient, Low- Cost Production of Rare Earth Metals

This project developed a novel neodymium (Nd) electrowinning reactor for energy-efficient electrowinning of Nd metal. Throughout this project we have developed an alternative chloride based molten salt electrolysis process. Our process lowers the specific electrical energy consumption compared to the state of the art, while producing reusable chlorine gas and eliminating direct CO2 and PFC emissions. Facilities required for implementing the project were setup and designs were finalized, and a standard operating procedure for safe operation of high temperature electrolysis cells was written. The electrowinning reactor was designed and constructed. Electrolysis experiments confirmed the ability to reproducibly electrowin Nd metal on a Mo cathode. The current efficiency for Nd electrowinning was measured as a function of applied current density in the presence of the separator. Successful electrowinning of Nd sponge at high current densities (200 mA/cm2 and above) at a current efficiency >80% was demonstrated using multiple techniques. Stable Nd electrowinning up to 10h at 250 mA/cm2 was demonstrated. All of these design advancements were used to develop a techno-economic and life cycle assessment model that demonstrated that our process could be operated at cost of less than $0.20/kg-Nd (~30% lower compared to state of the art when comparing electrolysis energy cost) with a >20% total reduction in global warming potential compared to the state of the art while generating no direct CO2 or perfluorocarbon emissions.

Facile and Scalable Synthesis of Metal- and Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanotubes for Efficient Electrochemical CO 2 Reduction

Metal- and nitrogen-doped carbon (M–N–C) is a promising material to catalyze electrochemical CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR). However, most M–N–C catalysts in the literature require complicated synthesis procedures and produce small quantities per batch, limiting the commercialization potential. In this work, we developed a simple and scalable synthesis method to convert metal-impurity-containing commercial carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and nitrogen-containing organic precursors into M–N–C via one-step moderate-temperature (650 °C) pyrolysis without any other treatment nor the need to add metal precursors. Batches of catalysts in varied mass up to 10 g (150 mL in volume) per batch were synthesized, and repeatable catalytic performances were demonstrated. To the best of our knowledge, the 10 g batch is one of the largest batches of CO2RR catalysts synthesized in the literature while requiring minimal synthesis steps. The catalyst possessed single-atomic iron–nitrogen (Fe–N) sites, enabling a high performance of >95% CO product selectivity at a high current density of 400 mA/cm 2 and high stability for 45 h at 100 mA/cm 2 in a flow cell testing. The catalyst outperformed a benchmark noble-metal nanoparticle catalyst and achieved longer stability than many other reported M–N–C catalysts in the literature. The scalable and cost-effective synthesis developed in this work paves a pathway toward practical CO 2 RR applications. The direct utilization of metal impurities from raw CNTs for efficient catalyst synthesis with minimal treatment is a green and sustainable engineering approach.

Hidden figures of photo-charging: a thermo-electrochemical approach for a solar-rechargeable redox flow cell system

Achieving high current densities without thermal performance degradation at high temperatures is one of the main challenges for enhancing the competitiveness of photo-electrochemical energy storage systems. We describe a system that overcomes this challenge by incorporating an integrated photoelectrode with a redox flow cell, which functions as a coolant for the excess heat from the photo-absorber. We perform quantitative analyses to theoretically validate and highlight the merit of the system. Practical operation parameters, including daily temperature and redox reaction kinetics, are modeled with respect to heat and charge transfer mechanisms. Our analyses show a profound impact on the resulting solar-to-chemical efficiencies and stored power, which are 21.8% higher than that of a conventional photovoltaic-assisted energy storage system. This paves the way for reassessing the merit of photovoltaic-integrated systems, which have hitherto been underrated as renewable energy storage systems.

Doping-modulated strain control of bifunctional electrocatalysis for rechargeable zinc–air batteries

Changes in the local atomic arrangement in a crystal caused by lattice-mismatch-induced strain can efficiently regulate the performance of electrocatalysts for zinc–air batteries (ZABs) in many manners, mainly due to modulated electronic structure configurations that affect the adsorption energies for oxygen-intermediates formed during oxygen reduction and evolution reactions (ORR and OER). However, the application of strain engineering in electrocatalysis has been limited by the strain relaxation caused by structural instability such as dissolution and destruction, leading to insufficient durability towards the ORR/OER. In this work, we propose a doping strategy to modulate the phase transition and formation of self-supported cobalt fluoride–sulfide (CoFS) nanoporous films using a low amount of copper (Cu) as a dopant. This well-defined Cu–CoFS heterostructure overcomes the obstacle of structural instability. Our study of the proposed Cu–CoFS also helps establish the structure–property relationship of strained electrocatalysts by unraveling the role of local strain in regulating the electronic structure of the catalyst. As a proof-of-concept, the Cu–CoFS electrocatalyst with doping-modulated strain exhibited superior onset potentials of 0.91 V and 1.49 V for the ORR and OER, respectively, surpassing commercial Pt/C@RuO 2 and benchmarking non-platinum group metal (non-PGM) catalysts. ZABs with the Cu–CoFS catalyst delivered excellent charge/discharge cycling performance with an extremely low voltage gap of 0.5 V at a current density of 10 mA cm –2 and successively 0.93 V at a high current density of 100 mA cm –2 and afforded an outstanding peak power density of 255 mW cm –2 .

Durable and High-Performance SOECs Based on Proton Conductors for Hydrogen Production

Proton-conducting solid oxide electrolysis cells (P-SOECs) are a promising technology for cost-effective and efficient production of green hydrogen. Breakthroughs in materials development, optimization of cell structure, and achievement of high performance and durability are essential to significantly increase the commercial competitiveness of these technologies. The main objective of this project is to gain scientific knowledge for the rational design, fabrication, and demonstration of a robust, highly efficient, and low-cost SOEC technology based on a proton-conducting electrolyte membrane for hydrogen production. We focused on better understanding the degradation mechanisms of proton-conducting electrolytes, air electrodes, and catalyst materials under electrolysis mode to develop an effective strategy for rationalizing new materials that are vital for enhancing cell performance and durability. The scope includes enhancing the performance and durability of the electrolyte and electrode materials under realistic operating conditions, developing highly active and robust catalysts to minimize electrode losses while improving tolerance to contaminant poisoning, revealing the mechanism of enhanced activity and stability of the catalyst, and understanding the underlying degradation mechanisms. In addition, various characterization techniques were employed to gain a fundamental understanding of the materials’ behavior and their impact on cell performance, providing vital information to guide materials discovery and cell design. After defect chemistry engineering, the optimized donor and acceptor co-doped electrolytes BaMo/W 0.03 Ce 0.71 Yb 0.26 O 3-δ (BM/W03) showed substantially improved chemical stability against high concentrations of CO 2 and H 2 O compared to the state-of-the-art electrolyte (BaZr 0.1 Ce 0.7 Y 0.1 Yb 0.1 O 3-δ , BZCYYb1711) while maintaining comparable ionic conductivity and ionic transference number. To bypass the inherent trade-off between conductivity and chemical stability, we fabricated a bi-layer electrolyte composed of BZCYYb1711 coated with a highly-stable thin layer of BaHf 0.83 Yb 0.17 O 3-δ (BHYb). This bi-layer electrolyte displayed excellent chemical stability against high concentration CO 2 ; there was no detectable formation of BaCO 3 after exposure to 97% CO 2 (with 3% H 2 O) at 500 °C for 1000 hours and the rate of degradation in resistance was about 0.4% per 1,000 hours (kh). In contrast, the same BZCYYb1711 electrolyte without a BHYb coating degraded significantly under the same testing conditions; the degradation rate was increased to 5.1%/kh. In addition, a triple conducting air electrode Ba 0.9 Pr 0.1 Hf 0.1 Y0.1Co 0.8 O 3-δ (BPHYC) was developed by heavily doping transition metal ions into a proton-conducting material. This air electrode material, composed of 3 distinct phases, exhibits superior electrocatalytic activity due to the synergistic effect from the three component phases. Moreover, an active and durable catalyst, La 2 Ni 0.5 Fe 0.5 O 4+δ (LNF), was developed, showing excellent catalytic activity and contaminant tolerance, with a degradation rate of only 0.49%/kh when exposed to high concentrations of steam and Cr. Finally, single cells were constructed from the best electrolytes, electrodes, and catalyst coatings developed in this project. These cells demonstrated superior high current density at a given cell voltage, high roundtrip efficiency, and remarkable durability (up to 1000 hours of operation).

Elucidating the degradation mechanisms of Pt-free anode anion-exchange membrane fuel cells after durability testing

The development of anion-exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) has recently accelerated due to synergistic improvements yielding highly conductive membranes, stable ionomers, and enhanced alkaline electrocatalysts. However, cell durability, especially under realistic conditions, still poses a major challenge. Herein, we employ low-loadings of Pt-free Pd-based catalysts in the anode of AEMFCs and elucidate potential degradation mechanisms impacting long-term performance under conditions analogous to the real-world (high current density, H 2 –air (albeit CO 2 -free), and intermittent operation). Our high-performing AEMFCs achieve impressive performance with power densities approaching 1 W cm —2 and current densities up to 3.5 A cm —2 . Over a 200 h period of continuous operation in H 2 –air at a current density of 600 mA cm —2 , our model Pd/C–CeO 2 anode cell exhibits record stability (~30 μV h —1 degradation) compared to the literature and up to 6× better stability than our Pd/C and commercial Pt/C anode cells. Following an 8 h shutdown, the Pd/C–CeO 2 anode cell was restarted and continued for an additional 300 h with a higher degradation rate of ~600 μV h —1 . Thorough in situ evaluations and post-stability analyses provide insights into potential degradation mechanisms to be expected during extended operation under more realistic conditions and provide mitigation strategies to enable the widespread development of highly durable AEMFCs.

Membrane‐electrode assembly design parameters for optimal CO 2 reduction

Commercial-scale generation of carbon-containing chemicals and fuels by means of electrochemical CO 2 reduction (CO 2 R) requires electrolyzers operating at high current densities and product selectivities. Membrane-electrode assemblies (MEAs) have been shown to be suitable for this purpose. In such devices, the cathode catalyst layer controls both the rate of CO 2 R and the distribution of products. In this study, we investigate how the ionomer-to-catalyst ratio (I:Cat), catalyst loading, and catalyst-layer thickness influence the performance of a cathode catalyst layer containing Ag nanoparticles supported on carbon. In this paper, we explore how these parameters affect the cell performance and establish the role of the exchange solution (water vs. CsHCO 3 ) behind the anode catalyst layer in cell performance. We show that a high total current density is best achieved using an I:Cat ratio of 3 at a Ag loading of 0.01–0.1 mg Ag /cm 2 and with a 1.0 M solution of CsHCO 3 circulated behind the anode catalyst layer. For these conditions, the optimal CO partial current density depends on the voltage applied to the MEA. The work also reveals that the performance of the cathode catalyst layer is limited by a combination of the electrochemically active surface area and the degree to which mass transfer of CO 2 to the surface of the Ag nanoparticles and the transport of OH – anions away from it limit the overall catalyst activity. Hydration of the ionomer in the cathode catalyst layer is found not to be an issue when using an exchange solution. The insights gained allowed for a Ag CO 2 R MEA that operates between 200 mA/cm 2 and 1 A/cm 2 with CO faradaic efficiencies of 78–91%, and the findings and understanding gained herein should be applicable to a broad range of CO 2 R MEA-based devices.

Electrolyte design for Li metal-free Li batteries

Li metal, with the lowest thermodynamically achievable negative electrochemical potential and the highest specific capacity (3860 mAh g -1 ), is the ultimate anode choice for Li batteries. However, the highest reported Li plating/stripping Coulombic efficiency (CE) of 99.5% after extensive efforts is still too low for the Li metal-free (all the Li metal in cycling comes from cathode, without anode pre-lithiation) Li metal batteries. The low CE is attributed to both non-uniform Li plating/stripping on the lithiophobic Cu current collector and Li dendrite growth through lithiophilic organic–inorganic solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formed in carbonate electrolytes. Here, we use a lithiophilic Bismuth graphite blend (Bi–Gr) substrate to replace lithiophobic Cu current collector to seed a uniform Li nucleation, and form a lithiophobic LiF-rich SEI rather than lithiophilic organic-rich SEI to suppress Li dendrite growth. Molecular dynamics simulations reveal the preferential reduction of anions in 2.0 M LiPF 6 in tetrahydrofuran/2-methyl tetrahydrofuran (2.0 M LiPF 6 –mixTHF) electrolyte to generate LiF-rich SEI on plated Li. Bi–Gr substrate and 2.0 M LiPF 6 –mixTHF electrolyte enable the Li anodes to achieve a record high CE of 99.83% at a high capacity of 1.0 mAh cm -2 and current of 0.5 mA cm -2 . The Bi particles serve as dispersed nucleation centers that promote uniform Li deposition with strong adhesion to the substrate to avoid dead Li, while the lithiophobic LiF-rich SEI promotes lateral Li growth and suppresses the vertical Li dendrite growth even at a high current density of 3.0 mA cm -2 and high areal capacities of 3.0 mAh cm -2 . The regulation of Li nucleation and growth enables the Li metal-free LiFePO 4 full cells to achieve 100 cycles at a practical areal capacity of >2.0 mAh cm -2 . This article highlights the benefits of simultaneous substrate design to improve Li nucleation and electrolyte design to promote lithiophobic SEI growth, enabling a promising and practical route Li metal-free Li metal batteries.

Quaternary Cu 2 TSiS 4 (T = Fe, Mn) Anodes for Li-Ion Batteries

Developing high-capacity and fast-charging anode materials is critical for achieving high-performance Li-ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, polycrystalline quaternary transition metal silicon sulfides, Cu 2 TSiS 4 (T = Fe, Mn), were synthesized using a solid-state method and investigated as anode materials in LIBs. Cu 2 FeSiS 4 retains a reversible capacity of 670 mAh g –1 at 200 mA g –1 for 400 cycles, while Cu 2 MnSiS 4 suffers from a fast capacity loss in the initial 50 cycles. More importantly, Cu 2 FeSiS 4 can maintain a reversible capacity of 379 mAh g –1 after 700 cycles at a high current density of 2 A g –1 , demonstrating high cyclic stability and fast-charging capacity. To further understand the structure degradation and phase transformation, we investigated the postcycling electrodes using multiple techniques, including the scanning electron microscope with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy techniques. The results indicated that Cu 2 FeSiS 4 undergoes reversible phase transitions with Li 2 S as a major product component. To further assess the performance for practical applications, Cu 2 FeSiS 4 was coupled with LiFePO 4 to make LiFePO 4 ||Cu 2 FeSiS 4 full cells, which delivered superior electrochemical performance. These results demonstrate great promise for using quaternary transition metal silicon sulfides as anodes to achieve low-cost and sustainable LIBs.
