We have successfully correlated the thermoelectric properties, structure and compositional variations of a Bi2Te3-xSx single crystal using a custom-designed, non-destructive, high-throughput Seebeck coefficient screening tool, together with a single

Direct Observation of Hydrogen Spillover in Ni-Loaded Pr-Doped Ceria

January 17, 2012
Author(s)
Vaneet Sharma, Peter A. Crozier, Renu Sharma, James B. Adams
Hydrogen-spillover in Ni-loaded Pr-doped ceria (PDC) was directly observed using an environmental transmission electron microscope (ETEM). Localized reduction of ceria in a H2 atmosphere was observed and attributed to gas-Ni-ceria interactions at the three

Electrolyte stability determines scaling limits for solid-state 3D Li-ion batteries

Dmitry A. Ruzmetov, Vladimir P. Oleshko, Paul M. Haney, Henri J. Lezec, K Karki, K Baloch, Amit K. Agrawal, Albert Davydov, Sergiy Krylyuk, Y Liu, JY Huang, Mihaela M. Tanase, John Cumings, Albert A. Talin
Rechargeable, all-solid state Li-ion batteries (LIBs) with high specific capacity and small footprint are highly desirable to power an emerging class of miniature, autonomous microsystems that operate without a hardwire for power or communications. A

Electronic structures of lithium battery interphase compounds: comparison between inelastic x-ray scattering measurements and theory

December 13, 2011
Author(s)
Eric L. Shirley, Timothy Fister, Moritz Schmidt, Paul Fenter, Christopher Johnson, Michael Slater, Maria K. Chan
In lithium ion batteries, decomposition of the electrolyte near an electrode surface can play a crucial role in determining the device’s long-term performance. The reactivity and the low core binding energy of lithium, carbon, oxygen, and fluorine have
