Two types of NWs are obtained by matrix synthesis and studied by probe microscopy. The combination of probe-microscopy modes makes it possible to determine the topography of the nanocrystals and the nature of their magnetization. The change in the magnetization during the application of an external magnetic field (varying in magnitude and direction) is investigated. It is shown that magnetization reversal in an external magnetic field depends on the relative position of the nanowire. Samples of the first type are Ni/Cu layered NWs: their magnetization reversal in an external magnetic field is studied and the magnitude of this field is determined. It is shown that the latter depends on the relative position and interaction of NWs with each other. For a single NW this is 4–5 mT, and for double NWs it is noticeably higher (12–15 mT). An agglomerate consisting of several interacting NWs is undergoes magnetization reversal in stages. The second type of samples are arrays of homogeneous NWs made of FeNi alloy located directly in the growth matrix. The field of magnetization reversal of isolated NWs in all cases is 7–14 mT. On the contrary, in groups of closely located NWs, the switching of magnetization occurs in stages. In this case, the range of switching fields depends on the density of NWs in the matrix and, in general, is much broader than for isolated NWs. In general, it is shown that the magnetic properties of NWs change significantly as the distance between them decreases: their magnetization reversal becomes more difficult, and various intermediate states appear, including those with opposite (antiferromagnetic) magnetization in neighboring NWs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":716,"journal":{"name":"Nanotechnologies in Russia","volume":"18 2 supplement","pages":"S325 - S334"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140884054","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 lifetime assessment of a PEM water electrolyzer and its components require lengthy and costly testing, so there is a need for the development and application of accelerated stress-testing methods, which allow the accelerated investigation of degradation processes occurring under realistic operating conditions. In this study, the dynamic cycling and constant operation of the membrane electrode assembly of a PEM water electrolyzer at elevated voltages are considered as two methods of accelerated stress testing. The degradation depth, its distribution, and mechanisms are studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, polarization curve breakdown into voltage losses components, and scanning electron microscopy. The greatest depth of degradation (up to 133 mV) is achieved during continuous operation of the membrane electrode assembly at elevated voltage, due to the anode porous transport layer (PTL) surface passivation and slow oxygen transport in its porous structure. The degradation depth of the membrane electrode assembly after dynamic cycling is found to be significantly lower (7–20 mV), and is related to degradation of the catalyst layer, with the decrease of mass transport losses being significantly responsible for the decrease in the overall degradation rate observed at high current densities. The influence of the anode catalyst loading reducing and the Ti-hydride protective coating on the surface of the anode PTL on the degradation of the PEM water electrolyzer is also considered. The use of a protective coating on the surface of the PTL provides the formation of a compact anode catalyst layer with a developed interface between the catalyst layer and PTL even at the reduced anode catalyst loading.</p>","PeriodicalId":716,"journal":{"name":"Nanotechnologies in Russia","volume":"18 2 supplement","pages":"S375 - S388"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140884055","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}
