LiAlH4 and NaAlH4 are considered to be promising hydrogen storage materials due to their high hydrogen density. However, their practical use is hampered by the lack of hydrogen reversibility along with poor kinetics. Nanosizing is an effective strategy t...

Isolated subsurface structures readily collect solvents spilled onto surrounding surfaces or poured into opening(s) in the manhole cover. Fatal overexposures and fires/explosions have occurred following these events. This work documents evaporation of 10...

A novel technique to prepare carbon/sulfur composites as cathode materials for Li/S batteries is proposed, which we call the ?solution evaporation concentration crystallization? method. Three composites with different S loadings were prepared, subject to...

In this study, we have employed a film deposition technique based on convective forces acting at the triple air?solution?substrate contact line to tune the rate of solvent evaporation and, thus, to exert control over the morphology of the resulting mixed...

It has been well-established that effects such as cracking are observable when wet layers are dried. In particular, the layer thickness, as well as the surface tension of the liquid, is responsible for this behavior. The layer formation of polymer electr...

The capability to fabricate photovoltaic (PV) solar cells on a large scale and at a competitive price is a milestone waiting to be achieved. Currently, such a fabrication method is lacking because the effective methods are either difficult to scale up or...
