Synthesis and Characterisation of High Entropy Metal Chalcogenides

High entropy materials are materials with 5 or more principle components within crystalline lattices. High entropy metal chalcogenides are a recent (since 2016) development in this area that have shown exceptional promise in both thermoelectric energy conversion and electrocatalysis. However, these ... [more]

Mechano-catalytic depolymerization of plastic waste

MPI SusMat Colloquium
Only 12% of plastic waste is recycled, mainly because the predominantly applied technique of melting and re-extrusion produces a lower quality material [1]. Alternatively, chemical depolymerization can produce monomers to make high-quality plastics again. [more]

Hydrogen effects on the deformation and fracture of alloys

MPI SusMat Colloquium
The increasing demand on lightweight structures requires high-strength materials. However, with increasing strength many materials show an increasing susceptibility to hydrogen embrittlement. Hence, it is of vital interest to understand the mechanisms of hydrogen embrittlement. [more]

Designing thermoelectric chalcogenides with atom probe tomography

Thermoelectric materials can realize waste heat recovery and solid-state refrigeration, providing sustainable solutions to the energy crisis and environmental pollution. The performance of thermoelectric materials is gauged by the transport of electrons and phonons. Materials with fast electron ... [more]

Defects and Grain Boundary Effects on Thermal and Electrical Transport

Defects and Grain boundaries have a remarkable effect on the thermal and electrical transport properties of polycrystalline materials but are often ignored by prevailing physical theories. Grain boundaries and interfaces can adversely alter the properties of Power Electronics, Solar Cells ... [more]

Materials grown by electrochemical techniques: The route towards sustainable materials for energy

In recent decades, extensive efforts have been done to develop new and more efficient alternative energy sources, which can substitute conventional sources like gas, petrol, and carbon, have been made. Due to the increase in energy consumed by society, we not only need an alternative to ... [more]
