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…
Protection of metal interfaces against hydrogen-assisted cracking
Guillaume Hachet, Shaolou Wei, Ali Tehranchi +8
Enabling a hydrogen economy requires the development of materials resistant to hydrogen embrittlement (HE). More than 100 years of research have led to several mechanisms and model…
Direct observation of nanoscale pinning centers in Ce(Co0.8Cu0.2)5.4 permanent magnets
Nikita Polin, Shangbin Shen, Fernando Maccari +15
Permanent magnets containing rare earth elements are essential components for the electrification of society. Ce(Co1-xCux)5 permanent magnets are a model system known for their sub…
Unraveling the thermodynamics and mechanism behind the lowering of reduction temperatures in oxide mixtures
Shiv Shankar, Barak Ratzker, Alisson Kwiatkowski da Silva +5
Hydrogen-based direct reduction offers a sustainable pathway to decarbonize the metal production industry. However, stable metal oxides, like CrO, are notoriously difficult…
Temperature and misorientation-dependent austenite nucleation at ferrite grain boundaries in a medium manganese steel: role of misorientation-dependent grain boundary segregation
Rama Srinivas Varanasi, Osamu Waseda, Faisal Waqar Syed +4
In the current work, we study the role of grain boundary (GB) misorientation-dependent segregation on austenite nucleation in a 50% cold rolled intercritically annealed 10Mn-0.05C-…
