Probing Electrified Liquid-Solid Interfaces with Scanning Electron Microscopy

December 2, 2020
Author(s)
Hongxuan Guo, Alexander Yulaev, Evgheni Strelcov, Alexander Tselev, Christopher M. Arble, Andras Vladar, John S. Villarrubia, Andrei Kolmakov
The mean free path of secondary electrons in aqueous solutions is on the order of a nanometer, making them a suitable probe of ultrathin electrical double layers at solid-liquid electrolyte interfaces. Employing graphene as an electron-transparent

Kinetics of Isopropanol Decomposition and Reaction with H atoms from Shock Tube Experiments and Rate Constant Optimization using the Method of Uncertainty Minimization using Polynomial Chaos Expansions (MUM-PCE)

September 28, 2020

Laura A. Mertens, Jeffrey A. Manion
Recent interest in isopropanol (2-propanol, C3H¬7OH) combustion stems from its potential as a renewable biofuel. Here, we report shock tube investigations of isopropanol decomposition and reaction with H atoms at (918 to 1212) K and (158 to 484) kPa

High-density polyethylene - an inert additive with stabilizing effects on organic field-effect transistors

Kelley, David Sinton, Edward H. Sargent
The carbon dioxide electroreduction reaction (CO2RR) provides avenues to the production renewable ethanol, a high-energy-density fuel. Unfortunately, until now, the ethanol Faradaic efficiency (FE) has lain below 27% in CO2RR studies reported at total

Dispersing nanosized portlandite particulates via electrosteric exclusion at short screening lengths

March 16, 2020
Author(s)
Jason Timmons, Iman Mehdipour, Shang Gao, Hakan Atahan, Narayanan Neithalath, Mathieu Bauchy, Edward Garboczi, Samanvaya Srivastava, Gaurav Sant
In spite of their high surface charge (ζ = + 34 mV), aqueous suspensions of portlandite (calcium hydroxide: Ca(OH)2) exhibit a strong tendency to aggregate, and thereby present unstable suspensions. While a variety of commercial dispersants seek to modify

High-Throughput Exploration of Lithium-Alloy Protection Layers for High-Performance Lithium-Metal Batteries

February 13, 2020

Jamie L. Weaver, Kedar Manandhar, Yaoyu Ren, Drew Stasak, Huilong Hou, Dylan Kirsch, Suchismita Sarker, Apurva Mehta, Saydul Sardar, Muye Xiao, Carlos Le?n, Gus Hart, Takeshi Sunaoshi, John Lemmon, Ichiro Takeuchi
To realize high specific capacity Li-metal batteries, a protection layer for the Li-metal anode is needed. We are carrying out combinatorial screening of Li-alloy thin films as the protection layer which can undergo significant lithiation with minimum

Covariance-based uncertainty analysis of reference equations of state

January 6, 2020
Author(s)
Howard Cheung, Jerome Frutiger, Ian Bell, Jens Abildskov, Gurkan Sin, Shengwei Wang
This work presents a detailed methodology for uncertainty analysis applied to a reference equation of state (EOS) based on Helmholtz energy. With increasing interest in uncertainties of thermal process models, it is important to quantify the property

CO2 electrolysis to multicarbon products at activities greater than 1 A cm(-2)

December 23, 2019
Author(s)
Lee J. Richter, Ahmad R. Kirmani, F. P. Garcia de Arquer, Cao-Thang Dinh, Adnan Ozden, Joshua Wicks, Christopher McCallum, Gabardo M. Christine, Ali Seifitokaldani, Xue Wang, Yuguang C. Li, Fengwang Li, Jonathan Edwards, Steven J. Thorpe, David Sinton, Edward H. Sargent, Nam Dae-Hyun, Dae-Hyun Nam
Electrolysis offers an attractive route to upgrade greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) to valuable fuels and feedstocks; however, productivity is often limited by gas diffusion through a liquid electrolyte to the surface of the catalyst. Here, we

110th Anniversary: Properties of Imidazolium-based Ionic Liquids Bearing both Benzylic and n-Alkyl Substituents

September 4, 2019
Author(s)

Reports of imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) with at least one benzylic substituent bound to the imidazolium cation is far less common than the ubiquitous 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium ILs ([Cnmim][X]). Yet, there is significant motivation to determining

Liquid Viscosity and Surface Tension of n-Hexane, n-Octane, n-Decane, and n-Hexadecane up to 573 K by Surface Light Scattering (SLS)
