Thermomechanical stability and inelastic energy dissipation as durability criteria for fuel cell gas diffusion media with pre-assembly effects

In this article, pre-assembly hot-press pressure and thermal expansion effects in gas-diffusion layers (GDLs) are addressed to explore the practicalities of the constitutive model reported in the companion article. A facile technique is proposed to include deformation history dependent residual strain effects. The model is implemented in the numerical environment and compared with widely followed conventional models such as isotropic and orthotropic material models. With the normal and accelerated thermal expansion effects no significant variation in stresses or strains is reported with the compressible GDL model in contrast to the conventional incompressible form of the GDL model. The present work identifies the critical differences with advanced and extended variants of the model along with conventional GDL material models in terms of planar stress/strain distribution and the membrane response. Finally, the model is simulated for micro-cyclic stress loads of varying amplitudes that imitate the real working conditions of fuel cell. The inelastic energy dissipation in GDLs is predicted using the proposed model, which is utilized further to distinguish the safe (elastic) and unsafe (inelastic shakedown) operating limits. The inelastic collapse of GDLs is shown to be a active function of high amplitude micro-cyclic load with high initial clamping load.     

Density functional theory study of the hydrogen evolution reaction in haeckelite boron nitride quantum dots

To satisfy arising energy needs and to handle the forthcoming worldwide climate transformation, the major research attention has been drawn to environmentally friendly, renewable and abundant energy resources. Hydrogen plays an ideal and significant role is such resources, due to its non-carbon based energy and production through clean energy. In this work, we have explored catalytic activity of a newly predicted haeckelite boron nitride quantum dot (haeck-BNQD), constructed from the infinite BN sheet, for its utilization in hydrogen production. Density functional theory calculations are employed to investigate geometry optimization, electronic and adsorption mechanism of haeck-BNQD using Gaussian16 package, employing the hybrid B3LYP and wB97XD functionals, along with 6–31G(d,p) basis set. A number of physical quantities such as HOMO/LUMO energies, density of states, hydrogen atom adsorption energies, Mulliken populations, Gibbs free energy, work functions, overpotentials, etc., have been computed and analysed in the context of the catalytic performance of haeck-BNQD for the hydrogen-evolution reaction (HER). Based on our calculations, we predict that the best catalytic performance will be obtained for H adsorption on top of the squares or the octagons of haeck-BNQD. We hope that our prediction of most active catalytic sites on haeck-BNQD for HER will be put to test in future experiments.

Estimation of gradient size of interfacial strain and its optimization for effective magnetoelectric coupling in (CoFe2O4) – (0.93Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 – 0.07BaTiO3), 2-2 nano-composites

Strain-mediated coupling between the magnetic and electrically ordered phases plays a significant role in magnetoelectric (ME) nano-composites. This study explores a method to analyse and quantify interfacial strain using a grazing angle scan (α) in a ME composite optimised for a specific microstructure. The details of strain around the interface CoFe₂O₄ (CFO) – 0.93Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃ – 0.07BaTiO₃ (NBT-BT) was determined by performing ‘α’ scan, in order to gather information at various depths of the NBT-BT layer around maximum intensity (110) reflection. The strain around the interface was observed to dominate over a spatial region of ～20–30 nm away from the interface. The Piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) studies performed near the interface reveal that the strain constrain experienced by the ferroelectric layer operates such that polarisation rotation and domain wall motion are constrained compared to the strain relaxed region of the film. For effective strain transfer, heterostructures grown with optimised thicknesses (～20–30 nm) exhibited a superior inverse piezomagnetic effect.

凌庄子水厂保水堰流量系数试验

凌庄子水厂蓄水池进水口处有一保水堰,为非标准薄壁堰,不能使用已有堰流公式对其过流量进行准确计算。为了得出较为精确的过流流量,按照重力相似准则制作几何比尺为1∶5的模型进行试验研究。在已有自由出流公式的基础上,对自由出流流量系数进行修正并对淹没情况下流量变化过程进行研究。对该非标准堰自由出流流量系数的实测值与经验值进行分析比较,发现堰板槽降低了实际自由出流过流能力。淹没出流的流量系数主要与下游尾水位有关,试验中形成的淹没式堰流受实际堰型尺寸影响,下游尾水位和堰上水位近似相等,不完全适用已有淹没出流流量公式,通过试验给出了修正淹没系数随h/p的变化关系。结果表明利用堰前、堰后水位初步计算过流流量是可行的,可为该工程提供参考,也可为实际工程中非标准矩形堰的流量计算提供思路。     

Anisotropic thermal expansion and ionic conductivity of a crystal-oriented,Mg2+-conducting NASICON-type solid electrolyte

Multivalent ion-conducting ceramics are required for the manufacture of high-safety, high-capacity rechargeable batteries. However, the low ionic conductivity of solid electrolytes and discrepancies in the thermal expansion between the battery components limit their widespread application. Furthermore, anisotropic thermal expansion in crystals during battery manufacturing and the charge-discharge cycles causes the formation of microcracks, which degrade the battery performance. The physical properties of ceramic materials with anisotropic crystal structures can be modified by varying the crystallographic orientation of their grains. In this study, a co-precipitation approach was used to synthesize an Mg²⁺-conducting (Mg_0.1Hf_0.9)_4/3.8Nb(PO₄)₃ solid electrolyte, and the grain orientation in the bulk sample was controlled using strong magnetic fields during the slip casting process. The results showed that inducing an orientation along the c-axis enhanced the apparent ionic conductivity of the bulk sample. It was also observed that (Mg_0.1Hf_0.9)_4/3.8Nb(PO₄)₃ crystal has a negative volumetric thermal expansion despite a positive linear thermal expansion along its c-axis. By adjusting the c-axis orientation of the grains, (Mg_0.1Hf_0.9)_4/3.8Nb(PO₄)₃ electrolytes with negative or positive linear thermal expansion coefficient have been produced. The findings of this study suggest that solid-electrolytes with negative, positive, or zero linear thermal expansion can be produced to create more compatible and higher-performance solid-state devices.     

Sulfur doped biocarbon obtained from Sargassum spp. for the oxygen reduction reaction

Sulfured doped carbon electrocatalysts is synthesized from the waste biomass Sargassum spp. Two doping procedures are examined to determine which is better for Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR); one by doping biocarbon obtained from the pyrolysis of the biomass and the second through a process of in situ doping in autoclave. The electrocatalyst are obtained from pyrolysis of the sample at 700 °C, which is finally characterized as a metal free electrocatalyst for the ORR. The electrocatalyst are characterized by BET surface area analysis, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and the electrochemical characterization is determined in 0.1 M KOH. The sample SSKPT-1 exhibits a promising electrocatalytic activity with an onset potential of 0.896 V vs RHE and a current density of 5 mA cm^?2 (at 0.2 V vs. RHE) which could be partly attributed to its high BET surface area of 2755 m² g^?1.
