Optimization of Al6061 #Nanocomposites Production Reinforced with Multiwalled #Carbon #Nanotubes by Beatriz Monteiro and Sónia Simões J. Compos. Sci. 2024, 8(9), 381; https://lnkd.in/d3aZhF65 Abstract This study investigates the impact of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al6061 nanocomposites. The MWCNTs were uniformly dispersed in the aluminum alloy matrix using ultrasonication following cold pressing and sintering in a vacuum. The effect of the sintered temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the nanocomposites was evaluated. The addition of MWCNTs resulted in grain refinement, with the nanocomposites exhibiting smaller and more uniformly distributed grains than the pure Al6061 matrix, particularly at lower sintering temperatures of 580 and 600 °C. The nanocomposites also demonstrated an increase in hardness, with peak values observed at 580 °C, primarily due to the effective dispersion of MWCNTs, which restrict dislocation movement and reinforce grain boundaries. While higher sintering temperatures led to significant grain growth and less uniform hardness distribution, lower temperatures favored finer grain structures and more homogeneous hardness profiles. The results suggest that the optimal sintering temperature for achieving the best balance between microstructure and mechanical properties is 580 °C. However, the study also highlights the need for optimized dispersion techniques to achieve a more uniform distribution of MWCNTs.

Check out our work “Metal–organic frameworks as conductivity enhancers for all-solid-state lithium batteries” just published in RSC Applied Interfaces. The article discusses a simple and cost-effective strategy to develop composite solid electrolytes by incorporating MOFs in LATP using a powder cold press approach. Here, we report composite solid electrolytes (CSEs) composed of LATP ceramic particles and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) in a SCN–LiTFSI matrix. The highly tunable porous structure of MOFs facilitates ion movement and acts as promising building materials for solid-state Li-ion conductors. In this study, the morphology, conductivity, and electrochemical cycling of LATP and its composite combinations are very well explored. Further, LATP–MOF composite solid electrolytes are tested for Li-ion and Li–Se batteries in an all-solid-state configuration with a lithium–metal anode. This proposed approach of using MOFs as conductivity boosters is not limited to the LATP system but will promote broader research into MOF-incorporated CSEs and further expand to other classes of electrolytes like sulfides and argyrodites.

#metal #chemical https://lnkd.in/eQVbPsZU info@vimaterial.de Research often explores modifications to TiN’s structure, like doping or creating TiN composites, to enhance specific properties such as electrical conductivity, hardness, or thermal stability. Spherical TiN powders with controlled size distribution are investigated for optimized performance in these areas.

Experiments have shown that when using traditional crystal growth furnaces, SiC substrates usually have various polymorphs, such as 6H and 15R-SiC, while SiC substrates prepared using porous graphite-based crystal growth furnaces only have 4H-SiC monocrystals. Moreover, the microtube density (MPD) and etching pit density (EPD) are also significantly reduced. The MPD of the two crystal growth furnaces are 6-7EA/cm2 and 1-2EA/cm2 respectively, which can be reduced by up to 6 times. https://lnkd.in/g5Ch52_p

🧲 What are hot-deformed #NdFeB magnets? Made from powder like bonded, fully dense like sintered, but they’re neither: Hot-deformed NdFeB magnets are a third type of widely produced NdFeB magnet that exhibits some of the best properties of both bonded and sintered varieties. https://lnkd.in/gAeaeHUJ

🔋 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 are crucial in the production of cathode materials for commercial Li-ion battery applications. All commercial cathode materials are typically coated with metal oxides, such as Al2O3, ZrO2, and TiO2. These coatings not only enhance the structural integrity of cathode materials but also play a vital role in stabilizing the cathode/electrolyte interface, especially at elevated temperatures and during high voltage operations (voltage > 4.3V). 📝 In our recent work, titled “𝑩𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒅𝒊𝒇𝒊𝒆𝒅 𝑪𝒐-𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆 𝑳𝒊𝑵𝒊0.5𝑴𝒏1.5𝑶4 𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒅𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒍: 𝑨 𝒑𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒖𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒓 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒄𝒚𝒄𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒊𝒏 𝑳𝑵𝑴𝑶/𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒑𝒉𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒇𝒖𝒍𝒍-𝒄𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒔,” published in the 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥, we synthesized high-density LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) cathode material at #ZSW and applied a cost-effective borate-based surface coating. The borate coating significantly stabilized the LNMO/electrolyte interface, reduced cathode-anode cross-talk, and ultimately improved cell performance. 💡 Our research further demonstrated that the primary aging mechanism in LNMO/graphite full cells originates from the instability at the LNMO/electrolyte interface.
