Effective rare-earth doping on semiconductor behavior for BaTiO3-based automotive MLCCs

Highly accelerated lifetime test (HALT) for lifetime evaluation was performed on the state-of-art automotive MLCC prototypes by varying Dy/Mg (donor/acceptor) ratio added to BaTiO3. The results clearly showed that the mean time to failure (MTTF) more than 280 times as the Dy/Mg ratio increased from 1.0 to 10.0. Since oxygen vacancies typically form in-gap state/defect at the donor level, the activation energy value under thermal activation process as a function of voltage was calculated and compared by non-destructive testing (I–V curve) for an accurate evaluation of the extrinsic behavior. It was found that barrier height at the Ni/BT interface decreases as the voltage increases, resulting in a decrease in activation energy. As the Dy/Mg ratio increases, the density of defects/in-gap states formed at the donor level in the bandgap by oxygen vacancies decreases, which may lead to a decrease in the number of electrons excited by the external voltage. Furthermore, it was verified that the calculated Schottky barrier height of the 10.0 Dy/Mg ratio under voltage has higher value than that of the 2.6 Dy/Mg ratio. Based on the results of this study, we propose a new indicator for the design of automotive MLCCs with high lifetime reliability that can be used for comparative analysis of additive compositions through non-destructive test (I–V curve) with low evaluation time/cost.

Beneficial role of manganese dioxide for reducing surface resistivity to increase surface flashover voltage of vacuum insulating ceramics

Electric vacuum insulated devices generate surface flashover and breakdown under instantaneous high voltage. Flashover voltage can be increased through coating without changing the structure of the ceramic device. Herein, multiphase coatings with different manganese dioxide contents are prepared on α-Al2O3 insulating ceramic surface by screen printing and solid-state sintering methods to yield an average film thickness of about 12.38 μm with good bonding strength. X-ray diffraction shows that the crystal phases of the coating are (Al0.9Cr0.1)2O3 and MnAl2O4. Scanning electron micrographs and atomic force microscopy reveal that greater surface height difference and deeper surface depth are more conducive to increasing the surface roughness and the formation of "pores", and decreasing the surface potential decay rate. When MnO2 content is 0.0069 mol, the deep trap center energy level on the material surface reaches its maximum, increasing from 1.506 eV to 1.550 eV, and the surface resistivity of ceramics decreases from 1016 Ω to 1013 Ω. The formation of deep trap centers on the surface makes it difficult for surface charges to detach, which reduces the charge mobility and surface potential decay rate, and leads to decrease in surface resistivity and increase in surface flashover voltage.

Effect of arc deposition process on mechanical properties and microstructure of TiAlSiN gradient coatings

In order to successfully prepare a new advanced TiAlSiN gradient coating with Ti content gradually decreased but Al content gradually increased from the cemented carbide substrate to the outermost coating surface by arc ion plating, we deeply investigated the influence mechanisms of two important process parameters. These parameters include substrate bias voltage and arc current, which affect the mechanical properties and microstructure of the gradient coating. The results show that bias voltage and arc current directly affect the particle accumulation effect on the coating surface and the re-sputtering effect caused by high-energy ion bombardment, thus affecting the deposition efficiency of the coating and the formation of defects such as macro-particles and pits on the coating surface. The increase of bias voltage is conducive to the increase of the density of columnar crystals and nanocrystals. While the increase of arc current makes the coating with high Al content transform from columnar crystals to nanocrystals. The hardness and interfacial adhesion of the gradient coatings showed a tendency of firstly increasing and then decreasing with the increase of both bias voltage and arc current. When the bias voltage and arc current are -80 V and 160 A respectively, the coating has the best mechanical properties, its surface hardness reaches 36.94 GPa, and the interfacial adhesion exceeds 120 N. In addition, with the increase of bias voltage and arc current, particles are deposited on the surface of the coating with higher energy, which leads to the preferential orientation transition from (111) to (200) plane. The high hardness of TiAlSiN coating is mainly due to the formation of high Al content of fcc-TiAlN crystals and amorphous Si3N4 in the gradient-coated surface layer. The results have important theoretical and practical significance for developing new high-performance gradient coating tools.

Thermoelectrohydrodynamic convection in a finite cylindrical annulus under microgravity

Numerical simulations of thermoelectrohydrodynamic convection in a dielectric liquid inside a finite-length cylindrical annulus with a fixed temperature difference have been performed with increasing high-frequency electric tension under microgravity conditions. The electric field, coupled with the permittivity gradient, generates a dielectrophoretic buoyancy force whose non-conservative part can induce thermoelectric convection in the liquid. The liquid remains in a conductive state below a critical value of the applied electric voltage. At a critical value, a supercritical bifurcation occurs from the conductive state to a convective state made of stationary helicoidal vortices. A further increase of electric voltage leads to oscillatory helicoidal vortices and then to wavy patterns before spoke patterns dominate the convective flow. The dielectrophoretic force is shown to enhance the heat transfer from the hot to cold walls due to induced convective flows. Particularly, these results demonstrate that the dielectrophoretic buoyancy force holds promise to replace the gravitational force to induce efficient heat transfer in microgravity conditions, and they contribute to a better fundamental understanding of heat transfer in microgravity.

Exploring the Charge-Transport and Optical Characteristics of Organic Doublet Radicals: A Theoretical and Experimental Study with Photovoltaic Applications.

Herein, we present a series of stable radicals containing a trityl carbon-centered radical moiety exhibiting interesting properties. The radicals demonstrate the most blue-shifted anti-Kasha doublet emission reported so far with high color purity (full width at half-maximum of 46 nm) and relatively high photoluminescence quantum yields of deoxygenated toluene solutions reaching 31%. The stable radicals demonstrate equilibrated bipolar charge transport with charge mobility values reaching 10-4 cm2/V·s at high electric fields. The experimental results in combination with the results of TD-DFT calculations confirm that the blue emission of radicals violates the Kasha rule and originates from higher excited states, whereas the bipolar charge transport properties are found to stem from the particularity of radicals to involve the same molecular orbital(s) in electron and hole transport. The radicals act as the efficient materials for interlayers, passivating interfacial defects and enhancing charge extraction in PSCs. Consequently, this leads to outstanding performance of PSC, with power conversion efficiency surpassing 21%, accompanied by a remarkable increase in open-circuit voltage and exceptional stability.

Structural, optical and electrical conduction characteristics of PMMA/PVAc/TBAI blended polymers

This study aims to create tetra-n-butylammonium iodide (TBAI) doped poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) blended polymers for utilize in a diversity of optoelectronic applications. By the casting technique, the films of (PMMA/PVAc/x wt % TBAI) were formed. The structure and morphology characteristics of the blended materials were studied using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy techniques. The optical transmittance declined to a minimum value when the blend was loaded with 38 wt % TBAI. The blend containing 38 % TBAI exhibits the highest reflectance values in the visible range. The lowest direct optical bandgap energies (4.20 eV) and indirect optical bandgap energies (3.71 eV, 3.13 eV) were achieved when TBAI reached 38 wt%. The addition of TBAI leads to an enhancement of the refractive index values of PMMA/PVAc in the visible spectrum. The effect of TBAI doping amount on the optical dielectric constant, energy loss functions, optical conductivity, nonlinear optical parameters and emitted color of the host blend was explored. The maximum values of the optical dielectric constant and energy loss functions were achieved after the TBAI level reached 38 wt%. The three non-linear optical (NLO) parameters for PMMA/PVAc blended polymers were enhanced as the amount of TBAI increased. An increase in voltage (V) or temperature results in a significant increase in electric current (I). Raising the amount of TBAI doping also caused the electric current to rise irregularly, with the exception of the blend with x = 11 %, where it fell. The samples exhibited the non-ohmic characteristics of the current-voltage (I–V) properties. The conduction mechanism of all blended materials was studied in detail. Finally, the outcomes supported the optical and electric properties studies, which suggested that a range of nanoelectronics applications could make use of the PMMA/PVAc/x weight percent TBAI blended polymers.

Sustainable nitrogen fixation by bubble discharge plasma: Performance optimization and mechanism

Sustainable nitrogen fixation driven by renewable energy sources under mild conditions has been widely sought to replace the industrial Haber-Bosch process. The fixation of nitrogen in the form of NOx− and NH4+ into aqueous solutions using electricity-driven gas–liquid discharge plasma is considered a promising prescription. In this paper, a scalable bubble discharge excited by nanosecond pulse power is employed for nitrogen fixation in the liquid phase. The nitrogen fixation performance and the mechanisms are analyzed by varying the power supply parameters, working gas flow rate and composition. The results show that an increase in voltage and frequency can result in an enhanced NO3− yield. Increases in the gas flow rate can result in inadequate activation of the working gas, which together with more inefficient mass transfer efficiencies can reduce the yield. The addition of O2 effectively elevates NO3− production while simultaneously inhibiting NH4+ production. The addition of H2O vapor increases the production of OH and H, thereby promoting the generation of reactive nitrogen and enhancing the yield of nitrogen fixation. However, the excessive addition of O2 and H2O vapor results in negative effect on the yield of nitrogen fixation, due to the significant weakening of the discharge intensity. The optimal nitrogen fixation yield was up to 16.5 μmol/min, while the optimal energy consumption was approximately 21.3 MJ/mol in this study. Finally, the mechanism related to nitrogen fixation is discussed through the optical emission spectral (OES) information in conjunction with the simulation of energy loss paths in the plasma by BOLSIG + . The work advances knowledge of the effect of parameter variations on nitrogen fixation by gas–liquid discharge for higher yield and energy production.

A Novel 4H-SiC SGT MOSFET with Improved P+ Shielding Region and Integrated Schottky Barrier Diode.

A silicon carbide (SiC) SGT MOSFET featuring a ""-shaped P+ shielding region (PSR), named SPDT-MOS, is proposed in this article. The improved PSR is introduced as a replacement for the source trench to enhance the forward performance of the device. Its improvement consists of two parts. One is to optimize the electric field distribution of the device, and the other is to expand the current conduction path. Based on the improved PSR and grounded split gate (SG), the device remarkably improves the conduction characteristics, gate oxide reliability, and frequency response. Moreover, the integrated sidewall Schottky barrier diode (SBD) prevents the inherent body diode from being activated and improves the reverse recovery characteristics. As a result, the gate-drain capacitance, gate charge, and reverse recovery charge (Qrr) of the SPDT-MOS are 81.2%, 41.2%, and 90.71% lower than those of the DTMOS, respectively. Compared to the double shielding (DS-MOS), the SPDT-MOS exhibits a 20% reduction in on-resistance and an 8.1% increase in breakdown voltage.

Analysis of Elastic Buckling and Static Bending Properties of Smart Functionally Graded Porous Beam

Background: A Smart Functionally Graded (SFG) porous beam is a Functionally Graded (FG) Porous beam consisting of a piezo-electric layer integrated on the top layer. Aim: This research work addresses the lack of information by examining the bending as well as elastic buckling performance of SFG beams having two distinct Porosity Distributions (PDs). The main purpose of this research work is to study and analyze the bending deflections as well as CBLs of SFG beams with two different PDs, considering various boundary conditions, voltage levels (20V and 100V), and changes in slenderness ratio. Objective: The objectives of this work are as follows: to analyze the impact of variations in voltage levels and slenderness ratios on the critical buckling and bending properties of the SFG beam and to showcase the effect of variation in the slenderness ratio on the dimensionless normal stress through the thickness of the Hinge-Hinge beam. Method: The research work analyzes the elastic buckling as well as static bending of Smart Functionally Graded (SFG) porous beams, considering the equations derived from the Timoshenko beam theory. To simulate the results and analyze the various effects, the ANSYS software has been utilized in this paper. Results: This research work examines how the slenderness ratio impacts the maximum deflection, CBL, along with stress distribution. Experimental data demonstrates that as the slenderness ratio increases, CBL reduces, and maximum deflections in SFG porous beams increase. Also, it has been observed that normal stress distribution shifts from linear to non-linear and changes significantly. Further, the PDs significantly affect the static bending as well as the buckling performance of the beam. The symmetric distribution pattern provides superior buckling capability and enhanced bending resistance compared to the unsymmetric distribution pattern. Additionally, it has been found that as the voltage across the SFG increases, the buckling load increases and the deflection of the beam decreases. Conclusion: This research work has analyzed the effects of slenderness ratio and voltage level on the Critical Buckling Load (CBL) and bending properties of SFG porous beams, considering four different boundary conditions and a fixed set of parameters. The key findings of this paper are that as the slenderness ratio increases, the CBL decreases, and distribution shifts from linear to nonlinear region. Changes are significant, whereas maximum deflection increases. A significant effect is observed in the performance of static bending and buckling of SFG beams. It has been investigated that with an increase in voltage across the SFG beam, the buckling load increases, whereas the maximum deflection of the beam decreases.

Study on the effect of LuCl3 doping on the characteristics of titanium alloy micro-arc oxidation coatings

Abstract The micro-arc oxidation of TC4 titanium alloy was carried out by adding LuCl3. The effect of LuCl3 addition on the properties of the micro-arc oxidized coatings, and the rate of weight loss by erosion under simulated oil field conditions, were analysed. The results show that the increase of oxidation voltage after the addition of LuCl3 makes the surface structure of the coatings denser. The coating is mainly composed of Rutile TiO2, Anatase TiO2, and a small amount of Lu2O3 phase. The kinetic potential polarization curves showed that the addition of LuCl3 can increase the corrosion potential and decrease the corrosion current density of TC4 titanium alloy, and at the same time reduce the rate of erosion weight loss of micro-arc oxidized coatings under simulated oilfield conditions. The overall performance of the coatings is best when the concentration of LuCl3 is 0.3 g L−1.

The anion exchange membrane water electrolysis is widely regarded as the next-generation technology for producing green hydrogen. The OH- conductivity of the anion exchange membrane plays a key role in the practical implementation of this device. Here, we present a series of Z-S-x membranes with dibenzothiophene groups. These membranes contain sulfur-enhanced hydrogen bond networks that link surrounding surface site hopping regions, forming continuous OH- conducting highways. Z-S-20 has a high through-plane OH- conductivity of 182±28 mS cm-1 and ultralong stability of 2650 h in KOH solution at 80 °C.

Electric-controlled adsorption and surface energy of cyclodextrins

By applying the electro-capillary rise method to control the solvent adsorption behavior for α-, β-, and γ–cyclodextrin, CD, respectively, this work showed that the voltage increase can enhance the adsorption of polar solvents, e.g. the water and formamide, while keep the adsorption of non-polar solvents, e.g. the hexane and diiodomethane, stabilization for these CDs. In terms of recorded dynamic adsorption curves, the electric-controlled surface properties of those CDs were furthermore estimated. Results showed that the increase of both the number of glucose units and voltage can enhance the surface free energy of CD due to the Lewis acid-base property of CD increased accordingly. The Lifshitz-van der Waals component has been found the main component of the surface energy of CD and was greater with the smaller number of glucose units uninfluenced by the electricity variety.

Low contact resistance and high breakdown voltage of AlGaN/GaN HEMT grown on silicon using both AlN/GaN superlattice and Al0.07Ga0.93N back barrier layer

In this study, the growth of a high-quality AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) heterostructure on silicon (Si) by metal–organic chemical vapor deposition was investigated by utilizing both the AlN/GaN superlattice (SL) and Al0.07Ga0.93N back barrier (BB) techniques. An atomic force microscope and high-resolution x-ray diffractometer confirm a low surface roughness of 0.26–0.34 nm and the formation of a high-quality AlN/GaN SL and GaN channel. The AlGaN/GaN heterostructures exhibit a high electron mobility of up to 1700 cm2 V−1∙s and a high carrier concentration density of (1.02–1.06 × 1013 cm−2) for both heterostructures. The AlGaN/GaN HEMT devices demonstrate a low specific contact resistivity (ρ c) of 2.7 × 10−6 Ω·cm2 and a low contact resistance (RC ) of 0.3 Ω·mm for the heterostructure with a BB layer. Furthermore, the DC characteristics demonstrate that incorporating Al0.07Ga0.93N BB in the heterostructure results in a 19.2% increase in lateral breakdown voltage (with a 10 µm spacing) and a 27.5% increase in vertical breakdown voltage (at 1 mA cm−2) compared to heterostructures without Al0.07Ga0.93N BB within the AlN/GaN SL structure. Moreover, an improvement of 10.6% in the maximum saturation current (I DS) and 15.2% in on-resistance (R ON) has been achieved for the device fabricated on an Al0.07Ga0.93N BB structure. The insertion loss of the buffer layer improves to −1.40 dB mm−1 at 40 GHz. Consequently, the proposed heterostructure investigated in this study demonstrates suitability for electronic device applications.

Antireflective Superhydrophobic and Robust Coating Based on Chitin Nanofibers and Methylsilanized Silica for Outdoor Applications.

Antireflective coatings with superhydrophobicity have many outdoor applications, such as solar photovoltaic panels and windshields. In this study, we fabricated an omnidirectional antireflective and superhydrophobic coating with good mechanical robustness and environmental durability via the spin coating technique. The coating consisted of a layer of phytic acid (PA)/polyacrylamide (PAM)/calcium ions (Ca2+) (referred to as Binder), an antireflective layer composed of chitin nanofibers (ChNFs), and a hydrophobic layer composed of methylsilanized silica (referred to as Mosil). The transmittance of a glass slide with the Binder/ChNFs/Mosil coating had a 5.2% gain at a wavelength of 550 nm, and the antireflective coating showed a water contact angle as high as 160° and a water sliding angle of 8°. The mechanical robustness and environmental durability of the coating, including resistance to peeling, dynamic impact, chemical erosion, ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, and high temperature, were evaluated. The coating retained excellent antireflective capacity and self-cleaning performance in the harsh conditions. The increase in voltage per unit area of a solar panel with a Binder/ChNFs/Mosil coating reached 0.4 mV/cm2 compared to the solar panel exposed to sunlight with an intensity of 54.3 × 103 lx. This work not only demonstrates that ChNFs can be used as raw materials to fabricate antireflective superhydrophobic coatings for outdoor applications but also provides a feasible and efficient approach to do so.

A Novel High-Gain Switched-Capacitor Multilevel Inverter with Reduced Components for Grid Integration

This paper introduces a novel Multi-Level Inverter (MLI) design which utilizes a single input and leverages capacitor voltages source to generate a four-fold increase in output voltage as the main problem that stays with the inverters is their low boost ability and efficiency while maintaining power quality at the same time. One capacitor is charged to match the input voltage magnitude, while the other two capacitors store twice this magnitude. Through a series-parallel combination with switching operations, all capacitors are effectively charged and discharged within each cycle, ensuring natural voltage balance. A comprehensive comparative analysis is conducted to highlight the advantages of this innovative approach, particularly in terms of component reduction and mitigation of voltage stress. Detailed assessment of power losses within the proposed circuit is undertaken, simulation studies are first carried out while extensive experimentation verifies its operational efficiency under diverse conditions such as varying modulation indices, loads, and supply-side fluctuations with an impressive maximum efficiency of 96.9 % at a 200 W power rating, our research contributes to advancing compact power converters, addressing crucial challenges in modern power electronics applications, and paving the way for enhanced performance and reliability in such systems.

Electrochemical etching was used to texture GaAs substrates, enhancing mechanical adhesion and chemical bonding. Various deposition regimes, including voltage switching, gradual voltage increase, and pulsed voltage, were applied to explore their impact on the film growth mechanisms. SEM analysis revealed distinct morphologies, EDX confirmed variations in aluminum content, Raman spectroscopy detected structural disorders, and XRD analysis demonstrated peak position shifts.

Ternary polymer solar cells using two nonfullerene acceptors with cascading energy level and complementary absorptions

In this paper, we have fabricated ternary PSC with BTP-eC9 as the host acceptor, IT-M as the guest acceptor, and PM6 as donor. The optimized ternary PSC (PM6:BTP-eC9:IT-M ratio is 1:1.2:0.2) has the highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 17.06 % compared to the PM6:BTP-eC9 binary PSC (16.46 %) and PM6:L8-BO reference binary PSC (16.92 %). We systematically investigated the effect of blend acceptors on morphology, photovoltaic performance and charge carrier dynamics. After the addition of IT-M to PM6:BTP-eC9 binary film, the highest JSC (from 26.39 to 26.82 mA cm−2) was achieved for optimized ternary PSCs compared to PM6:BTP-eC9 binary PSC, which was attributed to the high efficiency of light absorption in the medium to long-wavelength region of IT-M. Shallower lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMO) level of IT-M enlarged the optical bandgap, which leads to an increase in the open-circuit voltage (VOC, from 0.86 V to 0.875 V). In addition, a small amount of IT-M improves the surface and bulk morphology and crystallinity of the ternary film. The ternary films shown high charge mobility ability. This work demonstrates that supplementing the light absorption and broadening the optical bandgap of PM6:BTP-eC9 binary films by IT-M as third component can effectively improve the PCE and obtain higher photovoltaic performance than that of PM6:BTP-eC9 binary PSCs and PM6:L8-BO reference binary PSCs.

Investigation of the impact of the flow mode in all-vanadium-redox-flow battery using macroporous and mesoporous carbon electrodes

Energy storage in vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) is significantly impacted by both the cell design and the kinetics of electron transfer at the electrode/electrolyte interfaces. In this work, a novel VRFB flow field was designed and evaluated, allowing a portion of the flow to go through the porous electrodes in the direction of current flow. It was found that, when using standard carbon paper electrodes with moderate hydrophilicity, as compared to flow-by or only flow-through, concurrent 50 % flow-through and 50 % flow-by mode decreased the voltage loss by 46 % and increased the voltage efficiency from 74 % to 80 % compared to flow-by only (flow rate of 60 ml s−1). The voltage efficiency and energy efficiency were also enhanced to 82 % and 68 %, respectively, in the flow-through mode. This was likely due to enhanced mass transfer and increased utilization of the internal electrode surface area, in turn lowering the overpotential during both charging and discharging. To further determine the benefits of flow-through conditions, the effect of a binder-free, hydrophilic, and mesoporous carbon scaffold electrode (NCS85) was also investigated under flow-through mode and compared with the standard carbon paper electrodes with moderate hydrophilicity. NCS 85 has monodisperse, 3-D interconnected 85 nm pore diameters and thus a much higher surface area, resulting in a further increase in voltage and energy efficiency to 86 and 65 %, respectively. Heat treatment of the NCS85 to graphitize it and thus lower its resistance showed further improvements when using the flow-through mode, giving a voltage efficiency of 94 % and energy efficiency of 72 %. These improvements show the benefits that can be realized by optimizing both flow mode and carbon electrode porosity and permeability on VRFB performance.

Electrical ignition of ADN-based green liquid propellant in constant volume combustion chamber and continuous flow

Ammonium dinitramide (ADN) propellant for green space propulsion is perceived as a focal point in space propulsion research. The development of electrical ignition methods to realize the ignition for ADN-based liquid propellant can overcome the technical bottleneck of the catalytic ignition methods currently applied to ADN-based space thrusters. This work presents an experimental investigation of the electrical ignition and combustion characteristics of an ADN-based liquid propellant in a constant volume combustion chamber, considering ignition voltages and initial pressures. It is observed that increasing the ignition voltage and initial pressure reduces the flame retardation period, combustion duration, droplet lifetime, ignition energy, and total energy. Also, the combustion peak pressure decreases with an increase in the ignition voltage but increases with higher initial pressures. The energy consumption is mainly concentrated in the ignition stage, with the ignition energy accounting for approximately 76% to 96% of the total energy. The measurement of the concentrations of the keycombustion products are reported, highlighting that the mole fraction of CO decreases with an increase in ignition voltage and pressure. The ignition and combustion of the ADN-based liquid propellant in continuous flow were achieved for the first time through a combination of resistive ignition and high-temperature arc-assisted combustion. During the testing of the propellant ignition in continuous flow, there is a need for a continuous supply of electrical energy, and the combustion cannot be self-sustaining.
