NANOARC is shifting gears from the nanoscale into the unventured Ångstrom scale. The smallest known atom, Hydrogen, is ~ 1.1 Å. We offer 14 Ångstrom (Å) SnOx powder with a specific surface area of 1,486,388 cm²/g for ultra-high energy dense storage. Our Å-material takes #energystorage technology performance to the next level i.e. smaller, durable & lightweight. Tin Oxide (SnOx) is the most explored anode for #batteries because it works for both sodium-ion (SIBs) & lithium-ion battery (LIBs) energy storage systems, gaining notoriety due to its high theoretical capacities (LIB = 1494 mA h g−1 and SIB = 1378 mA h g−1). #Electrode materials suffer huge volume changes during lithiation/delithiation processes. This causes pulverisation of nanostructures & consequently, in a shortening of the cycling properties of batteries. The commercialisation of SnOx anodes is still hugely challenged because these anodes also suffer from large volume expansion caused by lithiation/delithiation or sodiation/desodiation during cycling, leading to severe capacity fading. The major drawback of using SnOx as anode for LIB is the pronounced volume expansion of about >300% volume change. Inducing tensile/compressive stress & large first cycle irreversible capacity, as the high amount of lithium-ions are inserted during cycling, leads to electrode pulverisation, electrical connectivity failure, and formation of an unstable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer, & results in rapid capacity fading, poor cycling performance, & low Coulombic efficiency. The strategy adopted to resolve this issue involves nanoscaling, to greatly improve the structural stability of the material & helps to have fast reaction kinetics. However, using any random particle size just won't do. The particle has to be able to prohibit the formation of grain boundaries. In SnOx, this means nanoparticles below 70 Å (7 nm), as at larger particle sizes, secondary grain boundaries start to emerge. Why Is This Size Critical? Grain boundaries are two-dimensional defects in a crystal structure that tend to decrease the electrical & thermal conductivity of a material. Most grain boundaries are preferrential sites for the onset of corrosion. #Grainboundaries are insurmountable borders for dislocations and the number of dislocations within a nanoparticle affects how stress builds up in the adjacent grain, eventually activating dislocation sources & thus enabling deformation in the neighbouring grain as well. By reducing ångstrom #particle size, one can influence the number of dislocations piled up at the grain boundary and enhance its yield strength i.e. the maximum stress the ångstrom particle tolerates before deformation begins. With a bohr radius of ~ 27 Å it means #quantum SnOx is the solution and diameters < 50 Å are most viable for SnOx-based anodes for robust resistance to pulverisation & the significant extension of battery life.

The strength of a material indicates the extent to which it can absorb energy or be deformed without fracturing. #Glass is currently reinforced with superficial treatments such as chemical coatings. The brittleness of the underlying glass itself, remains a matter to be addressed with surgical precision. A load applied to a material imparts a large amount of energy, creating a situation wherein it needs to respond, by reducing its overall energy. Beyond the elastic limit, brittle materials like glass dissipate this energy via the formation of new surfaces by cracking. To prevent crack formation in any material system, nature offers design cues. Nature stabilises itself by lowering the energy required for an event to occur. It's possible to reverse engineer this aspect, to make it hard for cracks to initiate & propagate in a material. Glass–nanoceramic composites offer versatile benefits for fracture toughness. #Nanoceramic crystallites with sizes small enough to prevent grain boundary formation dispersed within glass, act as prohibitors to crack formation. This is possible because when a propagating crack encounters such nanoceramic crystals, the crack will either try to change its propagation direction or move around the nanocrystal or initiate a new crack through the crystallite phase itself. However, when the nanocrystal is small enough to limit the formation of a grain boundary within itself, the probability of a fault site being generated therein, is prohibited. A dense, uniform dispersion of such nanoceramic crystals within a glass matrix, is crucial to frustrate crack formation as it creates an energetically unfavourable scenario that altogether limits or even eliminates it altogether. To create a crack-frustration scenario, nanoceramic crystals dimensions have to be far below 20 nm. The size range also prevents grain boundary formation in a nanocrystals. The nanoceramic crystal at that size can then be modified in its composition, to confer versatile functionality e.g. chemical, optical, electrical properties to the glass that help it be functional, surgically nano-tempered & superior in durability. A major challenge encountered during the preparation of glass-nanoceramic matrix nanocomposites, is the ability to achieve a homogeneous dispersion of nanocrystals, therein. A single 1000 nm particle can be replaced by 1000 particles 1 nm in size, facilitating their uniform dispersion within glass. Distribute a high density such grain-boundary-resistant nanoceramic particles within a glass or cermaic matrix & one obtains a more durable, crack-resistant material. NANOARC's core expertise in the design & industrial-scale manufacture of sub 20 nm sized nanoceramics offer composition flexibility for bespoke tuning of glass properties with superior durability, enhanced optical properties, pathogen protection, nuclear radiation attenuation & more.

#Nanotechnology offers a direct process to capture CO2, sulphur & nitrogen oxides with highly effective #catalysts. There's no need to send #CO2 underground, purchase carbon credits or acidify concrete by carbonation & compromise its #durability. Conventional micronised powder beds & pellets used for processes such as calcium looping or desulphurisation perform at marginal levels, because of their low specific surface area. This means, cheap does not equate cost-effective as they generate additional costs that can be avoided, when efficient systems are used like : - low performance efficieny and short breakthrough time which leads to  - extensive operational downtime  - high volumes of material are needed to absorb harmful gases &  - increased waste processing costs are incurred NANOARC offers high performance, multi-functional quantum materials as efficient high surface area nanocatalysts that absorb substantial amounts of H2S, SOx, CO2 and NOx emissions, at low nano-catalyst volumes. The byproducts are starting materials for new products in the #semiconductor, #LED, #energy storage, #ceramics & #construction sectors. HOW WE DIFFER #Quantum materials, by virtue of their ultrafine nanoscopic scale, possess a much higher surface area than regular materials, which makes them more reactive and effective in performing their duty at very minute volumes. To put this into perspective; 1 kg of particles of 1 mm3 have the same surface area as 1 mg of nanoparticles of 1 nm3 . This means, to achieve the same gaseous sorbent goals as attained by 1kg of the regular 1 mm3 particles, only 1 mg of 1nm3 nanoparticles would be needed. As a comparative measure, regular micronised catalysts absorb at best capture ~ 0.16 - 0.34g of sulphur, for every gram of catalyst. The average surface area of these micron-sized catalyst particles is just about 6000 m²/kg. NANOARC's atomically-architectured quantum material nanocatalysts have a speciifc surface area between 35930 - 63520 m²/kg and are capable of extracting 204 - 360g of sulphur, with just 1g (0.035 oz.) of nanocatalyst. Capturing ~ 2250x more gas pollutants at the same mass (1g), NANOARC quantum material #nanocatalysts provide the following benefits: - high performance efficiency and much longer breakthrough time which leads to  - much less operational downtime  - low volumes of material are needed to absorb harmful gases &  - little to no waste processing costs are incurred as products can be used in other industrial sectors  - higher purity fuels with increased energy density are obtained &  - significantly lower toxic emissions are produced. USAGE: Our nanocatalyst powders can be used in the following manner: - as is, in a membrane or column for maximised surface area benefits - as a coating on surfaces for active or passive yet targeted gas capture - compacted into pellets for usage in high pressure and high gas flow rate operation conditions or environments.

There is a global shortage of riverbed and beach #sand, to meet the global demand for both the #glass & #construction industries. Riverbeds & beaches are being stripped bare, with farmlands & #forests torn up to get the precious raw material - sand. #Ecosystems are being destroyed out of lack of ingenuity, in a world with no shortage of desert sand, which is considered “useless”. Desert sand simply needs to "interlock" with the right interface, to become "usable". NANOARC Quant-Ceramics offers solutions to do that. Silica is a key component in glass production because it determines the glass's strength, clarity, and colour. The purity & consistency of the silica sand used to make glass is vital to ensure the final product has the desired properties. Manufactured with the right (nano)additives, a Young's modulus of >70 GPa & flexural strength of >45 MPa are attainable in a glass produced from desert sand components. The initial purity of #silica is 52.1 wt% for desert sand, 39.3 wt% for river sand, & 35.8 wt% for sea sand. Some desert sands can contain > 90 wt% silica, making it melt at higher temperatures than sand with < 50 wt% silica content which can melt at temperatures below 1650 degrees celsius. Desert sand however, is not typically used for glass manufacturing because of its rounded, smooth grains formed via wind erosion, which makes it difficult to bond the sand particles together, at the high temperatures needed to create glass. NANOARC is a #nanotechnology company, specialised in the design and manufacture of solutions, inspired by nature. What we understand from #nature is this: there is micro-scale roughness, which most organisms and substances can adhere to, like velcro to a surface. Then, there is nanoscale roughness, so small, that most organisms and substances cannot adhere to such a surface. Desert sand, is one of such surfaces with ultra-low nanoscale surface roughness. Fundamentally, material bonding is driven more by van der waals atomic forces than physical interactions. To bind desert sand, quantum materials with particle sizes close to the nanoscopic roughness of desert sand, to better “sense” at an atomic scale & act as a binding interface, to form stronger, clearer, high-performance glass - with desert sand. The gecko foot has a dense array of nanoscopic filaments, that help it interface with van der waals forces and adhere to smooth surfaces, where other animals cannot. Quant-#Ceramic materials have ultra-high specific surface area to enable them interlock at an atomic scale with desert sand particle interfaces, mediating the binding process & reinforcing desert-sand glass materials in a manner which without NANOARC's Quant-Ceramics, would not be possible. By virtue of chemical composition, Quant-ceramic glass nanoadditives offer functionality to glass, beyond mechanical strength.

Rotor blades of systems like wind #turbines and #engines, are subject to mechanical fatigue, which initiates cracks in adhesive layers used to bond the #fibre #composite parts of a #rotorblade. Although thinner and lighter rotoor blades are desired for efficiency enhancement, without the right #materials, the design is more susceptible to failure due to an initiation of higher loads in adhesive joints, that result in rapid blade structural damage, especially in low-#gravity conditions. It is important to design solutions for more stable longterm durability with little to no maintainance requirements and in the #aerospace sector, blades more viable for low-terrain flight with increased shear force resistance and composite materials more resistant to #vibration damage. This being a material component re-design issue, we turn to the aspect of grain boundaries. These are defects in a crystal structure, that affect the ability of a material to withstand mechanical load. Basically, the fewer grain boundaries, the more resilient a material becomes. The solution is hence to infuse #compositematerials and alloys, with #nanomaterials, that are small enough to resist #grainboundary formation. Grain boundary-resistant nanomaterials are on average < 7 nm (0.007 um) in dimension. Nanomaterials in this size range (< 20 nm) are known in nanotechnology as Quantum Materials. This is because they offer unique physical and #chemical properties, that are quite distinct from the same material, in its macro- and even larger size nano-form. Used as #composite and alloy #nanoadditives at very minute doses i.e. << 1 wt%, Quantum Materials are capable of significantly enhancing the yield strength, chemical reisstance and #mechanical #durability of just about any material. The reason for this being, such ultrafine #nanoparticles easily spread in resins and diffuse more uniformly throughout pores in material composites, to provide a more even distribution of yield strength. The solution is known but its availability is the challenge. Quantum materials are hard to find because they are complex to manufacture. NANOARC is a #nanotechnology company, specialised uniquely, in the design and manufacture of #Quantum Material #nanopowders. They serve in the performance enhancement of composite design and increase material strength and service life under technically demanding operational circumstances. With increased durability and lighter weight, efficiencyas well as #energy saving goals become enhanced.
