This study investigates the thermodynamic and kinetic characteristics of nano porous particle as an additive in the formation of CH4 hydrate, essential for hydrate technology applications and energy estimation in gas storage process. Thermodynamic analyses were conducted with varying nano porous particle concentrations. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) was employed to determine phase...
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) play a crucial role in urbanization and human life, providing essential energy storage capabilities distinguished by their high energy density, long cycle life, and low weight [1,2]. The hydrometallurgical method for recycling of spent LIBs is of great importance due to its remarkable features, including high metal recovery rates, their capacity for Li+ and Al3+...
Selective laser melting (SLM), an additive manufacturing (AM) technique utilised for metals, is attracting increasing interest in creating complex and high-quality components. Compared to the traditional welding of bulk materials, the powder bed melting process in SLM presents a more complex physical profile arising from the molten-material flow in the interparticle voids. This work employed a...
In this work, we present unique results of dynamic micro-CT to study the behavior of Li-ion batteries during two important events that determine battery quality and lifetime. First, we show the interactions between different battery components during the first few charge and discharge cycles of a battery, the so-called formation cycles. How these cycles are performed has a huge impact on the...
Improved, highly active cathode materials are needed to promote the commercialization of ceramic fuel cell technology. However, the conventional trial-and-error process of material design, characterization and testing can make for a long and complex research cycle. Here we demonstrate an experimentally validated machine-learning-driven approach to accelerate the discovery of efficient oxygen...
Porous organic cages (POCs) are a class of emerging microporous materials with high porosity and selectivity for gas adsorption and separation.[1] As a representative of first-generation POCs, CC3 has huge potential for separating noble gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).[2] Traditional manufacturing techniques exhibit some limitations in immobilizing the porous materials into...
