Stainless steel interconnect materials used in solid oxide fuel cells and electrolysers need to be coated improve oxidation resistance mitigate Cr-vaporization. This work aimed explore the optimal steel/coating combinations suitable for use reversible stacks evaluated (Co,Mn)3O4 spinel, LaFeO3 perovskite, Ce/Co Y-based coatings, on AISI441 Crofer 22 APU steels. The coatings were based measureme...

The application of dense gases in particle formation processes has attracted great attention due to documented advantages over conventional technologies. In particular, the use of dense CO₂ in the process has been subject of many works and explored in a variety of different techniques. This article presents a review of the current available techniques in use in particle formation processes, foc...

In this work, separation performance of supported carbon membranes produced from Novolac Phenolic resin as the main precursor and carbon nanotubes as nanofiller were investigated for separation of CO2 from N2 and CH4. Supports were produced by carbonization of Novolac Phenolic resin-activated carbon mixture, and selective layer was coated by dip coating of prepa...

Earnest efforts have been taken to design hybrid energy storage devices using hybrid electrodes based on capacitive (rGO) and pseudocapacitive (Ni(OH)2 and Co(OH)2) materials deposited on the skeleton of 3D macroporous (indicate sponge material) sponge support. Conducting framework was formed by coating rGO on macroporous sponge on which subsequent deposition of Ni(OH)2 and Co(OH)2 was carried ...

A detailed study has been presented of optical, electrical, structural and magnetic properties of Zn1–xCoxO (0 < x ≤ 0.25) films co-doped with 1 at. % of Al. The polycrystalline films have been synthesized on Corning glass 7059 substrates by the sol-gel technique using spin coating. Highly preferential c-axis oriented films have been obtained at the annealing temperature of 600 °C. The lattice ...

Bioinspired Polymeric Coating A universal and facile multifunctional biomimetic coating with excellent self-adhesion, lubrication, sustained drug release properties is designed in article number 2200561 by Haimang Wang, Xin Zhao, Hongyu Zhang, co-workers. It based on mussel-inspired catecholamine chemistry articular cartilage hydration which could be modified onto different substrates of biomed...

Solution-Processed Photovoltaics In article number 2100432, Salima Alem, Benoît H. Lessard, and co-workers observed that optimal device performances are dependent on changing the concentration of ternary additive in active layer OPV when moving from spin-coating glass to large area blade-coating flexible substrates. Silicon phthalocyanines promising additives devices but their loading must be t...

Polypropylene (PP) has poor adhesion to metals and other surfaces for its chemical structure. Hence, chemical modification of PP is necessary for metal surface coating application. In this research, grafting of maleic anhydride (MA) onto co(propylene-b-ethylene) in the presence of a dicumyl peroxide (DCP) was accomplished in a single screw extruder. Characteristics of the modified polymer were ...

the aim of this work is to synthesize and investigate the performance of yttria-doped zirconia solgelcoatings in the chemical corrosion prevention of zircaloy-4 (zirconium alloy) in a 1 n h2so4environment. the influence of four different molar ratios of water to alkoxide, namely 1, 4, 12, and20, on the coating quality and its corrosion prevention performance was investigated. differentialtherma...

Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is a material of choice for many biomedical coating applications. However, such applications are limited due to the toxicity traditional solvents used solution processing PMMA coatings and composites. This problem addressed using an isopropanol-water co-solvent, which allows dissolution high molecular mass fabrication by dip-coating method from concentrated solutio...
