Anodes for Li‑ion batteries prepared from microcrystalline silicon and enabled by binder’s chemistry and pseudo‑self‑healing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Silicon, while suffering from major degradation issues, has been recognized as a next promising material to replace currently used graphite in the anodes of Li-ion batteries. Several pathways to mitigate the capacity fading ... -
Dislocations in ceramic electrolytes for solid-state Li batteries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)High power solid-state Li batteries (SSLB) are hindered by the formation of dendrite-like structures at high current rates. Hence, new design principles are needed to overcome this limitation. By introducing dislocations, ... -
Insights on microstructural evolution and capacity fade on diatom SiO <inf>2</inf> anodes for lithium-ion batteries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)is a promising material for developing high-capacity anodes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, microstructural changes of anodes at the particle and electrode level upon prolonged cycling remains unclear. In this ... -
Nano-scale characterisation of sheared β” precipitates in a deformed Al-Mg-Si alloy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This paper compares the nano-scale structure of β” precipitates in a peak-aged Al-Mg-Si alloy before and after deformation. Three complementary advanced transmission electron microscopy techniques are used to reveal the ... -
Optimum scavenger concentrations for sonochemical nanoparticle synthesis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Maintaining nanoparticle properties when scaling up a chemical synthesis is challenging due to the complex interplay between reducing agents and precursors. A sonochemical synthesis route does not require the addition of ... -
Piezoelectricity and rotostriction through polar and non-polar coupled instabilities in bismuth-based piezoceramics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Coupling of order parameters provides a means to tune functionality in advanced materials including multiferroics, superconductors, and ionic conductors. We demonstrate that the response of a frustrated ferroelectric state ... -
Probing heat generation during tensile plastic deformation of a bulk metallic glass at cryogenic temperature
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Despite significant research efforts, the deformation and failure mechanisms of metallic glasses remain not well understood. In the absence of periodic structure, these materials typically deform in highly localized, thin ... -
Silicon carbide formation from methane and silicon monoxide
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Silicon carbide (SiC) formation plays an important role during the production of elemental silicon. SiC forms through a high temperature reaction between silicon monoxide gas (SiO) and carbon. Currently, the carbon sources ... -
Spatially Confined Spin Polarization and magnetic sublattice control in (La,Sr)MnO3−δ Thin Films by Oxygen Vacancy Ordering
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Perovskite oxides are known for their strong structure property coupling and functional properties such as ferromagntism, ferroelectricity and high temperature superconductivity. While the effect of ordered cation vacancies ... -
The role of grain boundary scattering in reducing the thermal conductivity of polycrystalline XNiSn (X=Hf, Zr, Ti) half-Heusler alloys
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Thermoelectric application of half-Heusler compounds suffers from their fairly high thermal conductivities. Insight into how effective various scattering mechanisms are in reducing the thermal conductivity of fabricated ... -
Wavelength and orientation dependent capture of light by diatom frustule nanostructures
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)The ecological success of diatoms is emphasized by regular blooms of many different species in all aquatic systems, but the reason behind their success is not fully understood. A special feature of the diatom cell is ...
