Microstructure changes during failure of PVDF-based photovoltaic backsheets

July 21, 2022
Author(s)
Stephanie Moffitt, Po-Chang Pan, Lakesha Perry, Michael Kempe, Jared Tracy, Kaushik Choudhury, Xiaohong Gu
The backsheet layer of a solar module provides a safety and environmental barrier to the high voltages running through the photovoltaic (PV) cells and electrical contacts within the core of the module. However, in the past decade, backsheet cracking has

Chemically Induced Magnetic Dead Shells in Superparamagnetic Ni Nanoparticles Deduced from Polarized Small-Angle Neutron Scattering

July 17, 2022
Author(s)
Bhaskar Das, Joseph Batley, Kathryn L. Krycka, Julie A. Borchers, Patrick Quarterman, Caroline Korostynski, My Nguyen, Ishita Kamboj, Eray Aydil, Chris Leighton
Advances in synthesis and characterization of colloidal magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) have yielded great gains in the understanding of their complex magnetic behavior, with implications for numerous applications. Recent work using Ni NPs as a model soft

Crystallize it before it diffuses: Thin -film growth of the phosphorus-rich semiconductor CuP2

July 13, 2022
Author(s)
Feng Yi, David A. LaVan, Andrea Crovetto, Danny Kojda, Karen Heinselman, Klaus Habicht, Thomas Unold, Andriy Zakutayev
Numerous phosphorus-rich metal phosphides containing both P-P bonds and metal-P bonds are known from the solid state chemistry literature. Yet, very little is known about the thin- film synthesizability and properties of even the simplest binary compounds

The Expanding Role of National Metrology Institutes in the Quantum Era

July 12, 2022
Author(s)
Alexander Tzalenchuk, Nicolas Spethmann, Tim Prior, Jay H. Hendricks, Yijie Pan, Vladimir Bubanja, Guilherme Temporao, Dai-Hyuk Yu, Damir Ilic, Barbara L. Goldstein
Now that all base units are defined in terms of fundamental constants and can thus — at least in principle — be realized anytime and anywhere, rather than through a measurement chain leading back to unique physical artefacts, who holds the traceability

Schmid Factor Crack Propagation and Tracking Crystallographic Texture Markers of Microstructural Condition in Direct Energy Deposition Additive Manufacturing of Ti-6Al-4V

July 6, 2022
Author(s)
Alec Saville, Jake Benzing, Sven Vogel, Jessica Buckner, Collin Donohoue, Andrew Kustas, Adam Creuziger, Kester Clarke, Amy Clarke
Metallic additive manufacturing (AM) provides a customizable and tailorable manufacturing process for new engineering designs and technologies. The greatest challenge currently facing metallic AM is maintaining control of microstructural evolution during

Suppression of filament defects in embedded 3D printing

July 5, 2022
Author(s)
Leanne Friedrich, Ross Gunther, Jonathan Seppala
Embedded 3D printing enables the manufacture of soft, intricate structures. In the technique, a nozzle is embedded into a viscoelastic support bath and extrudes filaments or droplets. While embedded 3D printing expands the printable materials space to low

Unraveling the Stable Cathode Electrolyte Interface in all Solid-State Thin-Film Battery Operating at 5 V

July 4, 2022
Author(s)
Ryosuke Shimizu, Diyi Cheng, Jamie Weaver, Minghao Zhang, Bingyu Lu, Thomas Wynn, Randall Burger, Min-cheol Kim, Guomin Zhu, Ying Shirley Meng
Spinel-type LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) is one of the most promising 5 V-class cathode materials for Li-ion batteries that can achieve high energy density and low production costs. However, in liquid electrolyte cells, the high voltage causes continuous cell

Graph Neural Network Predictions of Metal Organic Framework CO2 Adsorption Properties

July 1, 2022
Author(s)
Kamal Choudhary, Taner N. Yildirim, Daniel Siderius, A. Gilad Kusne, Austin McDannald, Diana Ortiz-Montalvo
The increasing CO$_2$ level is a critical concern and suitable materials are needed to directly capture such gases from the environment. While experimental and conventional computational methods are useful in finding such materials, they are usually slow

Growth and Decomposition of Pt Surface Oxides

June 28, 2022
Author(s)
Feng Yi, Shane Arlington, Justin Gorham, William Alexander Osborn, Slavomir Nemsak, Ethan Crumlin, David A. LaVan
The formation and thermal stability of Pt surface oxides on Pt thin film were studied in situ using ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS). AP-XPS allows us to monitor the chemical states of both adsorbed reactants and underlying

Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopic Detection of Ethanol: A Side-by-Side Comparison of ZnO and HKUST-1 MOFs as Sensing Media

June 25, 2022
Author(s)
Papa Amoah, Pentao Lin, Zeinab Mohammed Hassan, Rhonda Franklin, Engelbert Redel, Helmut Baumgart, Yaw S. Obeng
Changes in the chemo-electrical intrinsic properties of metal-oxide materials (MO) are commonly used as the basis of gas sensors. The most common gas sensors are based on chemically induced changes in electrical resistivity which necessarily involve making

Properties of Refrigerants

June 22, 2022
Author(s)
Marcia L. Huber, Mark O. McLinden
This table gives physical properties, safe exposure limits, GWP and ODP for compounds that have been used as working fluids in traditional refrigeration systems or are under consideration as replacements in newer systems. Some are also used as solvents
