Structural and mechanical properties of Al-SiC-ZrO2 nanocomposites fabricated by microwave sintering technique
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
In the present study, Al-SiC-ZrO2 nanocomposites were developed and characterized. Towards this direction, the aluminum (Al) matrix was reinforced with nano-sized silicon carbide (SiC) and zirconium dioxide (ZrO2), and the ...
Microstructure and mechanical behavior of hot extruded aluminum/tin-bismuth composites produced by powder metallurgy
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
In this study, Al-BiSn composites were synthesized by a combination of microwave sintering and hot extrusion processes. The structural, morphological, mechanical, and thermal properties were investigated to elucidate the ...
Understanding the Nature of Capacity Decay and Interface Properties in Li//LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 Cells by Cycling Aging and Titration Techniques
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article)
The spinel structure LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) is a propitious cathode material for next-generation lithium-ion batteries for fast charge-discharge applications, but its capacity decay mechanism and rate-limiting process are ...
Hybrid effect of carbon nanotubes and polypropylene microfibers on fire resistance, thermal characteristics and microstructure of cementitious composites
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
The current study experimentally investigates the hybrid effect of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and polypropylene (PP) microfibers on fire resistance and thermal characteristics of cementitious composites. Cement mortar with ...
Impact of surface coating on electrochemical and thermal behaviors of a Li-rich Li1.2Ni0.16Mn0.56Co0.08O2 cathode
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2020 , Article)
Lithium-rich layered oxide materials are considered as potential cathode materials for future high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) owing to their high operating voltage and relatively high specific capacity. ...
Highly porous PtPd nanoclusters synthesized via selective chemical etching as efficient catalyst for ethanol electro-oxidation
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs) have received great interest owing to their high power density and environmental friendness. Nevertheless, the designing of active, durable, and efficient anode for DEFCs is a profound ...
Antimicrobial modification of PLA scaffolds with ascorbic and fumaric acids via plasma treatment
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
An optimal medical scaffold should be biocompatible and biodegradable and should have adequate mechanical properties and scaffold architecture porosity, a precise three-dimensional shape, and a reasonable manufacturing ...
Electrospun nanofibers of PVDF-HFP composites containing magnetic nickel ferrite for energy harvesting application
