Synthesis of TiFebased metal hydride-forming alloy from mixed titanium iron oxide (ilmenite, FeTiO3) was carried out by a two-stage reduction of the latter using H2 and CaH2 as reducing agents. The reversible hydrogen absorption capacity of the TiFe based material was about 0.5 wt. % H, that is significantly lower tha…

Abstract This paper presents a multi‐scale model of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stack consisting of five anode‐supported cells. A two‐dimensional isothermal elementary kinetic model is used to calculate the performance of single cells. Several of these models are thermally coupled to form the stack model. Simulatio…

We investigate the structural heterogeneity in a silicate glass by hyperquenching–annealing–calorimetry approach. The results show a striking phenomenon: two separated sub‐ T g relaxation peaks appear on the calorimetric curve of the hyperquenched CaO – MgO – SiO 2 glass, implying the existence of two distinct structu…

In the thin film area, it is well-known that deposition rate impacts the morphology but tools to quantify online fast growth processes are scarce. Here we show that surface differential reflectivity spectroscopy (SDRS) can be used in real time to follow silver nanoparticle growth during sputtering deposition. The main…

Ni doped, Li doped and (Li, Ni) codoped ZnO thin films were successfully grown using a pulsed laser deposition technique. Undoped and doped ZnO thin films were investigated using extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and x-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES). Preliminary investigations on the Zn K…

Abstract We study the classical Landau–Levich dip-coating problem in the case where the interface has significant elasticity. One aim of this work is to unravel the effect of surface-adsorbed hydrophobic particles on Landau–Levich flow. Motivated by recent findings (Vella, Aussillous & Mahadevan, Europhys. Lett., vol.…

Using a simple and precise instrument system, we directly measured the thermo-physical properties of one-dimensional highly aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs). A kind of CNT-based macroscopic materials named super aligned carbon nanotube (SACNT) buckypapers was measured in our experiment. We defined a new one-dimensional…

The employment of Ni–Mo films has recently been shown to yield strictly homogeneous single-layer graphene. In this study, we systematically investigate the different stages of nucleation and growth of graphene over Ni–Mo layers. The studies reveal that the Ni film breaks up and diffuses into the underlying Mo foil, fo…
