In a study published in the journal Corrosion Science, researchers explored protective coatings to advance corrosion ...

Scientists are making fusion energy—a cleaner, nearly limitless power source—more practical by developing materials that can ...

They employed advanced metallurgical analysis techniques, including scanning transmission electron microscopy coupled with electron energy loss spectroscopy, to investigate the composition and ...

Liquid metal coolants used inside fusion reactors threaten the structural integrity of reactor. A ODS alloy coating is ...

Aluminum naturally forms an oxide layer on its surface when exposed to air. Anodizing in an electrolytic cell creates a thicker oxide layer that makes the part more resistant to corrosion and wear.

In late 2020, other researchers at the Incheon National University built a kesterite solar cell based on a zinc tin oxide (ZTO) buffer layer. The world record for such cells is 12.6%, achieved by ...

Raw aluminium readily forms a tough oxide layer when exposed to air, which protects the metal from further corrosion or reactions with many chemicals. This oxide layer can form incredibly quickly ...

Researchers explored protective coatings on advanced to resist corrosion in fusion reactors. They tested α-Al2O3 oxide layers on ODS alloys in a ...

"All aluminum is coated with a surface oxide, and until now we did not know what the structure of this native oxide layer on the nanoparticles was. This has been a limiting factor preventing the ...

THE formation of boehmite on anodized and non-anodized aluminium surfaces by boiling-water treatment has been discussed by Hart 1. He found by electron diffraction study of ammonium borate anodic ...

The device also features an aluminum oxide (AlOx) layer fabricated by atomic layer deposition (ALD). The cell was then screen printed with a mixed paste made of silver (Ag) and Al on the front ...

“We found that aluminium and magnesium oxide impurities ... During heating, the oxide layer undergoes a process of dehydration, melting and evaporation. Each of these steps occurs at a different ...
