Effect of air humidity on microstructure and phase composition of lithium deuteride corrosion products

Electrochemical performance of M(dca)2pyz (M = Fe, Co and Ni) MOFs as sustainable anodes in lithium-ion batteries

“…ATR-FTIR of cycled Fe-MOF electrodes present two sharp peaks at 3678 cm −1 (not observed in the sample stopped at 3 V) and 3566 cm −1 that could be assigned to the stretching vibration of non-hydrogen bonded O–H. 54 The absence of a broad band in the region of 3200–3600 cm −1 on cycled electrodes below 3 V, seems to indicate that these bands correspond to LiOH and LiOH·H 2 O respectively, 54,55 probably formed due to samples exposure to the atmosphere during measurements. Cycled Co-MOF and Ni-MOF just present the peak at 3566 cm −1 , but in the case of Ni-MOF, a broad band at ∼3300 cm −1 appears at all voltages, so this sharp peak could also be produced by H 2 O adsorbed on the surface of the electrode.…”

Elastic backscattering as a method for the measurement of the integral lithium content in thin films on fusion-relevant substrates

“…Besides, the high chemical reactivity of lithium can lead to damage of analytical equipment, for example mass spectrometers used in thermal desorption spectroscopy, limiting the possible amount of lithium used for analyses [15]. Ex-situ analysis is problematic due to the transformation of Li and Li-H into Li 2 CO 3 [16][17][18][19]. For macroscopic amounts of deposits on the scale of tens of µg, chemical methods of analysis are available [20], while measurements of thin layers on the scale of several tens of nanometers, or localized deposits up to several tens of microns are challenging.…”

Slippery Liquid-infused Porous Surface Fabricated on Aluminum Maintains Stable Corrosion Resistance at Elevated Temperatures

“…Inspired by the Nepenthes pitcher plant, SLIPS 9 had been designed. This surface has recently been considered a promising technology for multifunctional surfaces because it exhibits water-repellency, 10 anti-icing, 11 and antifouling 12 capabilities. In the case of a SLIPS, the fluorocarbon lubricant is infused onto the porous surface of aluminum with a solvent exchange method.…”
