A Fully-Reduced, Highly-Disordered Nitride-Halide Electrolyte for Solid-State Batteries with Lithium-Metal Anodes

Most highly Li-conducting solid electrolytes (σRT > 10-3 S cm-1) are unstable against lithium-metal and suffer from detrimental solid-electrolyte decomposition at the lithium-metal/solid-electrolyte interface. Solid electrolytes that are stable against lithium metal thus offer a ...

Optical hydrogen sensing beyond palladium

Hafnium and tantalum as effective sensing materials

The detection of hydrogen in a fast, efficient and accurate way is vital for its safe handling in industrial processes and in its use as an energy carrier. Thin film metal hydrides are able to probe the hydrogen pressure, often relying on a change of the optical properties of a s ...

Understanding and mitigating resistive losses in fired passivating contacts

Role of the interfaces and optimization of the thermal budget

This work presents a study of p-type passivating contacts based on SiCx formed via a rapid thermal processing (RTP) step, using conditions compatible with the firing used to sinter screen-printed metallization pastes in industry. The contributions of the two interfaces (wafer/con ...

Aliovalent Calcium Doping of Yttrium Oxyhydride Thin Films and Implications for Photochromism (The Journal of Physical Chemistry C (2022) 126:34 (14742−14749) DOI:10.1021/acs.jpcc.2c04456)

The energy axes of the RBS and ERD data (contained in Figures 2a,b,d,e, and S4) were originally underestimated, and the corrected figures appear below and in the Supporting Information. The change is in the conversion from raw data to the energy scale, which was initially convert ...
We present a systematic study of the ac susceptibility of the chiral magnet Fe1−xCoxSi with x=0.30 covering four orders of magnitude in frequencies from 0.1 Hz to 1 kHz, with particular emphasis to the pronounced history dependence. Characteristic relaxation times ranging from a ...
We present a comprehensive small-angle neutron scattering study of the doping dependence of the helimagnetic correlations in Mn1−xFexSi. The long-range helimagnetic order in Mn1−xFexSi is suppressed with increasing Fe content and disappears for x>x∗≈0.11, i.e., well before xC≈0.1 ...
Here, a method to suppress drift in intensity-modulated sensors is presented that preserves the advantages of such sensors including simplicity and low-cost components. This method is illustrated using metal hydride-based optical hydrogen sensors that can reliably, accurately, an ...
Nanostructured metal hydrides are able to efficiently detect hydrogen in optical sensors. In the literature, two nanostructured systems based on metal hydrides have been proposed for this purpose each with its own detection principle: continuous sub-100 nm thin films read out via ...
Limited Li resources, high cost, and safety risks of using organic electrolytes have stimulated a strong motivation to develop non-Li aqueous batteries. Aqueous Zn-ion storage (ZIS) devices offer low-cost and high-safety solutions. However, their practical applications are at the ...
The integration of passivating contacts based on a highly doped polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) layer on top of a thin silicon oxide (SiOx) layer has been identified as the next step to further increase the conversion efficiency of current mainstream crystalline silicon (c-Si) ...
Co-evaporation of metal halide perovskites by thermal evaporation is an attractive method since it does not require harmful solvents and enables precise control of the film thickness. Furthermore, the ability to manipulate the Fermi level allows the formation of a graded homojunc ...
Accurate, cost-efficient, and safe hydrogen sensors will play a key role in the future hydrogen economy. Optical hydrogen sensors based on metal hydrides are attractive owing to their small size and costs and the fact that they are intrinsically safe. These sensors rely on suitab ...
The growing demand for safe, cost-efficient, high-energy and high-power electrochemical energy storage devices has stimulated the development of aqueous-based supercapacitors with high capacitance, high rate capability, and high voltage. 2D titanium carbide MXene-based electrodes ...
State-of-the-art triple cation, mixed halide perovskites are extensively studied in perovskite solar cells, showing very promising performance and stability. However, an in-depth fundamental understanding of how the phase behavior in Cs0.05FA0.85MA0.10Pb(I0.97Br0.03)3 (CsMAFA) af ...
Catalyzing capping layers on metal hydrides are employed to enhance the hydrogenation kinetics of metal hydride-based systems such as hydrogen sensors. Here, we use a novel experimental method to study the hydrogenation kinetics of catalyzing capping layers composed of several al ...
