Understanding early stages of low-temperature hydrogen-driven direct co-reduction of Fe-Ni mixed oxide thin films at the near atomic scale
Emmanuel Uwayezu, Shaolou Wei, Yujiao Li +3
Kinetic understanding of hydrogen co-reduction of multinary and multi-phase oxides is of interest for enhancing sustainability of alloy production and transition to a hydrogen-base…
Controlling Metastability through Annealing of High-Entropy Nanoalloy Electrocatalysts to Boost Performance towards the Oxygen Evolution Reaction
Varatharaja Nallathambi, Aneeta Jose Puthussery, Andrea M. Mingers +7
Low-cost transition metal high-entropy nanoalloys are emerging as sustainable alternatives to platinum group electrocatalysts. Synthesis conditions of single-phase solid solutions…
Is Platinum a Proton Blocking Catalyst?
Aparna Saksena, Yujun Zhao, J. Manoj Prabhakar +3
Platinum, to date, is the most widely applied electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in acidic media. It is assumed to be a proton-blocking catalyst with only surfac…
High-strength and ductile lightweight cast aluminium alloys with superlattice nano-layered fibres (SNL) and core-shell nano-particles
Hemant Kumar, Praveen Kumar, Dierk Raabe +2
Lightweight, high-strength structural materials are component enablers in transportation and aerospace, reducing carbon footprints and enhancing fuel efficiency. Cast aluminium all…
Kinetically controlling surface atom arrangements in thermally robust, amorphous high-entropy alloy nanoparticles by solvent selection
Varatharaja Nallathambi, Se-Ho Kim, Baptiste Gault +3
The ability to tailor nanoscale surface atom arrangements through multi-elemental compositional control provides high-entropy nanoalloys with promising functional properties. Devel…
Secondary Grain Boundary Dislocations Alter Segregation Energy Spectra
Xinren Chen, William Gonçalves, Yi Hu +9
Grain boundaries (GBs) trigger structure-specific chemical segregation of solute atoms. According to the three-dimensional (3D) topology of grains, GBs - although defined as planar…
