Porous flow-through electrodes are used as the core reactive component across electrochemical technologies. Controlling the fluid flow, species transport, and reactive environment is critical to attaining high performance. However,…
Perovskites are mixed oxides with the general formula ABO3. Many different compositions have been found to be possible and their number is growing rapidly due to their characteristics that make them ideal for various applications, such as…
The mechanical behavior of a Mo-TiC30 vol.% ceramic-metal composite was investigated over a large temperature range (25^{\circ}C to 700^{\circ}C). High-energy X-ray tomography was used to reveal the percolation of the hard titanium carbide…
It is well-known that the microstructure of electrodes in lithium-ion batteries strongly affects their performance. Vice versa, the microstructure can exhibit strong changes during the usage of the battery due to aging effects. For a better…
Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are becoming increasingly important due to their high electrical efficiency, the flexible choice of fuels and relatively low emissions of pollutants. However, the increasingly growing demands for…
The structural properties of the ROFeM (R=La, Nd; M=As, P) materials have been analyzed by means of electron diffraction, high-resolution transmission-electron microscopy (TEM) and in-situ cooling TEM observations. The experimental results…
The performance of all-solid-state battery (ASSB) cathodes strongly depends on their microstructure. Optimizing the cathode morphology can therefore enhance effective macroscopic properties such as ionic and electronic conductivity. The…
Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) normally have fixed or moving structures with cross-sections of the order of microns ($\mu m$) and lengths of the order of tens or hundreds of microns. These structures are often plates or array of…
Size effects are ubiquitous in the structural, mechanical, and physical properties of materials, making it highly desirable to study the intrinsic properties of thick objects through high-resolution structural analysis in transmission…
Significant progress has been made for assessing the influence of porosity on the performance metrics for cast components through various modeling techniques. However, a computationally efficient framework to account for porosity with…
