Recent progress in the activity improvement of anode catalysts for acidic electrochemical water splitting is largely achieved through empirical studies iridium-based bimetallic oxides. Practical, experimentally accessible, yet general predictors catalytic OER have remained scarce. This study investigates iridium and iridium–nickel thin film model electrocatalysts identifies a set ex situ properties that allow reliable prediction their activity. Well-defined Ir-based various chemical nature...

Sputter-deposited gemanium thin films were investigated as negative electrode material for lithium-ion batteries. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and secondary-ion mass spectroscopy have been carried out. Doped nondoped cycled vs lithium electrode. Diffusion coefficients, reaction potential, cycling life measured. The effect of doping thickness was also studied. stable capacity is , with an increase over the 180 first cycles n-doped germanium coatings.

Exsolution is a promising technique to design metal nanoparticles for electrocatalysis and renewable energy. In this work, Ni-doped perovskites, (Pr0.5Ba0.5)1–x/2Mn1–x/2Nix/2O3−δ with x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 (S-PBMNx), were prepared exsolution systems as solid oxide fuel cell anodes catalysis applications. X-ray diffraction transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses demonstrated that correlating A-site deficiency Ni content can effectively induce of all under H2 atmosphere at T ∼ 875 °C,...

CuCr0.93Mg0.07O2 thin films with improved optoelectronic properties were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering on fused quartz substrates. The influence of annealing temperature under vacuum the was investigated. amorphous annealed at temperatures higher than 923 K are single-phased delafossite structure, while impurity phases like CuCr2O4 that affect detected below 873 K. c-axis orientation is observed for layers and window in which much larger Mg doping (923 → 1073 K) undoped (~953...

Inclined, zigzag and spiral TiAg films were prepared by glancing angle co-deposition, using two distinct Ti Ag targets with a particle incident of 80° contents ranging from 20 to 75 at%. The effect increasing incorporation columnar architecture change on the morphological, structural electrical properties was investigated. It is shown that inclined features (β = 47°) high porosity obtained for at% Ag, column sharply decreasing 21°) 50 steeply afterwards until β 37° film Ag. sputtered exhibit...
