These compounds, characterized as oxygen-deficient perovskites, feature distinct vacancy arrangements. Ca2FeMnO6-δ adopts a brownmillerite-type orthorhombic structure with ordered vacancy arrangement, while Sr2FeMnO6-δ adopts a perovskite cubic structure with disordered vacancy distribution. Notably, both compounds exhibit remarkably low thermal conductivity, measuring below 0.50 Wm-1K-1. This places them among the materials with the lowest thermal conductivity reported for perovskites. The observed low thermal conductivity is attributed to oxygen vacancies and phonon scattering. Interestingly as scanning electron microscopy images show the smaller grain size, our findings suggest that the creation of vacancies and lowering the grain size or increasing the grain boundaries play a crucial role in achieving such low thermal conductivity values. This characteristic enhances the potential of these materials for applications where efficient heat dissipation, safety, and equipment longevity are paramount.","PeriodicalId":489350,"journal":{"name":"ECS advances","volume":" 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139788646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The anode water produced held positive ORP up to 900 mV, which is very oxidative. ORP, pH, and conductivity measurements were complementary for understanding anode water. Correlation of concurrent ORP decrease and conductivity increase in ultra-pure anode water domain was observed first the time. The oxidative OHo was formed as the major species in anode water, causing positive ORP during ORP measurement. H+ and OH− ions, and OHo radical co-existed in anode water at amphoteric non-equilibrium, while pH was less than 6. It was concluded that OHo, as a strong oxidant, transformed itself to OH− by ORP measurement. OHo radical would oxidize selectively and then remove nano-contaminants. Anode water is considered to fulfill the requirement of EUV semiconductor cleaning where no oxygen species should be required because of likely oxide layer formation during cleaning, and it will even remove the native oxide developed unintentionally before cleaning.","PeriodicalId":489350,"journal":{"name":"ECS advances","volume":"80 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138597970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We detail the rationale for design evolution that improved performance, handling and assembly of the printed batteries. Some guidance into the modeling, 3D printing process, material choice, chemical and electrochemical stability, assembly, sealing, and performance of 3D printed Li-ion batteries is outlined. 3D printed Li-ion batteries demonstrated promising results in terms of gravimetric capacity, rate capability, and capacity per unit footprint area compared to conventional coin cells in both aqueous and non-aqueous systems. For aqueous cells, the cell level capacity is a factor of 2–3x higher than similar metal coin cells due to the lighter weight and better rate response. We also outline design requirements for a Vat-P printed battery that are compatible with organic carbonate-based electrolytes, where the cell provides 115 mAh g−1 specific capacity using an LiCoO2–graphite chemistry, which is only ∼20% less than the maximum reversible capacity of LCO. Despite the challenges faced in optimizing the design and materials for 3D printed Li-ion batteries, this study provides valuable information for future research and development.","PeriodicalId":489350,"journal":{"name":"ECS advances","volume":"4 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138601303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings show one crystallite type in PEO and four in LiTFSI. The physical state of the binary mixture PEO-LiTFSI is predominate by the semi-crystalline properties of pure PEO when we is lower than 33 wt.%, and the crystallization of the mixture is only induced by PEO. Nevertheless, LiTFSI reduces the degree of crystallinity of PEO due to its solvation by a part of PEO crystallites. Besides, as the solubility limit of LiTFSI in PEO is achieved, salt crystallites appear within the resulting electrolyte. These crystallites in the high we domain were identified as LiTFSI crystallites complexed with PEO. However, rising temperature promotes their dissolution. The functional groups implicated in the crystallization of PEO-LiTFSI have been highlighted using the IR technique. Besides, the experimental result shows that the glass transition temperature (Tg) and the melting point (Tm) of the binary mixture exhibit a non-linear trend with we and Mw. A simple mathematical treatment is proposed to predict glass transition temperature as a function of we and Mw. Our model considers the additive effect of lithium salt on the Tg variation.","PeriodicalId":489350,"journal":{"name":"ECS advances","volume":"22 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138606810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
