The final version of our manuscript “Is nitrogen doping of diamond-like carbon films a viable strategy for bipolar plates in proton exchange membrane fuel cells?” is now available to download! We are investigating the corrosion response of diamond-like carbon coatings onto aluminium alloys under simulated proton exchange membrane fuel cells environment. In addition, we investigate … Continue reading Metal-carbon interfaces
As researchers and enthusiasts of materials engineered for extreme environments, we are thrilled to share an exciting new advancement in the field of high-entropy ceramics (HECs). Our journey into the world of radiation-resistant materials has led us to examine the latest findings from a novel study: Probing the High-Entropy Concept Through the Irradiation Response of … Continue reading Probing the High-Entropy Concept Through the Irradiation Response of Near-Equimolar (CrNbTaTiW)C Ceramic Coatings
As you well know, my PhD thesis is now online for public consulting. It took me a lot of time to get this thesis (gooosh!) in a good shape and I am very proud of the final result. I hope you guys also enjoy the reading. This afternoon I was thinking about a picture within … Continue reading The message of my PhD Thesis in one picture
Our paper on the corrosion resistance of constant and functionally graded TiN coatings is now online! In this paper we have discovery an interesting relationship between electron energy loss spectroscopy and corrosion resistance: functionally graded materials can be engineered so that they have a gradient of valence electrons along the coating profile. The less electrons … Continue reading Functionally Graded Materials for Fuel Cells Applications
I am so delighted to announce that our paper "Energetic particle irradiation study of TiN coatings: are these films appropriate for accident tolerant fuels?" has just been accepted for publication at the Journal of Nuclear Materials! In this study, we have used heavy ion irradiation in situ within a Transmission Electron Microscopy to investigate whether Titanium Nitride … Continue reading Are TiN coatings appropriate candidates for accident tolerant fuels?
