Current electronic devices are built by employing numerous materials and a diverse array of fabrication processes. Semiconductors are the main building block which are used to create transistors. For the past 50 years, the ...

In recent years, hybrid nanolaminate materials have generated great interest due to the physical and chemical properties that 2D nanosheets possess that their bulk counterparts do not. Thin films and nanostructured materials ...

Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are nanoporous materials containing three-dimensional (3D) periodic networks of metal clusters held together by bridging organic linkers. They are thermally stable, crystalline, and characterized ...

The motivation behind this thesis was to develop an optical diagnostic system to assess the performance of lithium-ion battery electrodes. Ideally, this design would accommodate operando analysis; allowing for real-time ...

Li-ion batteries are important energy storage devices today, powering a range of electrical equipment from mobile phones to electric vehicles. Most commercial Li-ion battery anodes are made from carbon-based materials which ...
