The upconversion quantum efficiencies (ΦUC) of these materials, the excitation power dependent population i.e. the emission characteristics, and the deactivation dynamics are influenced by nanoparticle architecture, doping concentration, and the microenvironment. We will discuss how time resolved measurements can help to understand the fundamental photophysical mechanisms and discuss differences to other nanocrystals like quantum dots.

Especially industries with high relevance for the future like transport and energy benefit from optimized designs and novel materials. However, a reliable in-situ quality assurance for metal AM is still missing while process optimization is slow. This directly hinders the huge potential of metal AM technologies. A promising method to counteract this issue is the investigation of the emitted thermal radiation. It is optimal for monitoring and understanding the thermal history of the high-temperature AM process. The thermal history holds virtually all information about the properties and the quality of the manufactured components. The thermal information is also highly valuable for tuning and validating numerical simulations to gather further insights into the process. Despite this importance, the usage of thermal radiation in commercial AM machines is only marginal (like simple pyrometry or long-time exposure for optical tomography (OT) at a single wavelength). Based on this deficit and potential, this work gives an overview of the research in division “8.3 Thermographic Methods” at the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) in Berlin, Germany. Different wavelengths of the thermal radiation are investigated: the visible range (VIS), the short-wave infrared (SWIR), and the mid-wave infrared (MWIR) with their respective optimal field of application. Focus lies on laser powder bed fusion of metals (PBF-LB/M), but directed energy deposition with laser beam (DED-LB/M) is investigated as well. The presented research is performed not only on commercial AM machines, but also on an in-house developed PBF-LB/M research system specifically designed for sensor testing. This ensures an exciting mélange of applied research for industrial applications, and fundamental research for process understanding and validation. Therefore, a crucial contribution to industrial and scientific insights of metal AM is given.

Bisher wird dieses Potential der Klärschlammaschen für die Phosphor-Rückgewinnung jedoch kaum genutzt, da die in den Aschen enthaltenen Phosphate für Pflanzen kaum verfügbar und die Aschen teilweise mit toxischen Schwermetallen belastet sind. Im AshDec®-Verfahren wird die Klärschlammaschen im Drehrohrofen im Temperaturbereich 800-1000°C unter Zugabe von Alkali-Additiven (bsp. Na2CO3) thermochemisch behandelt, um ein wirksames und schadstoffarmes Phosphatdüngemittel herzustellen. Aktuell bereitet die Firma Emter GmbH den Bau der ersten großtechnischen AshDec®-Anlage mit einer Kapazität von 30.000 Jahrestonnen Klärschlammasche am Standort ihrer Klärschlammverbrennungsanlage (Altenstadt / Oberbayern) vor.

Mechanical action drives chemical reactions forward independently of the solubility of reactants and drastically minimises solvent usage and waste production. Mechanochemistry also provides other advantages, such as faster reaction times, higher yields, altered selectivity, and access to products not obtainable by other methods. Furthermore, recent innovations in mechanochemistry enable conducting chemical reactions by combining force and heat in approach called thermo-mechanochemistry [1]. These conditions typically overcome high activation energies and access products not obtainable by mechanochemistry at ambient temperature conditions. In this talk, I will give an overview to this emerging topic and to our discoveries by thermo-mechanochemistry that include prebiotic peptide bond formation [2], synthesis of amide-based active pharmaceutical ingredient [3], condensation of diamondoid derivatives [4], and manipulation of polymorphic transition temperatures in organic molecular crystals [5].

Real-time in situ studies are essential to understand the dynamic behavior of catalysts under operational conditions. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) offers a unique, element-specific probe of electronic and structural changes at the active sites of electrocatalysts during electrochemical reactions. At BAM, collaborative research efforts leverage the advanced capabilities of the BAMline at the Berlin Synchrotron BESSY-II to study electrocatalytic materials under realistic working conditions. As a dedicated materials research beamline, the BAMline enables in situ and operando XAS across different time and length scales, making it ideally suited for monitoring catalytic transformations in real time. This presentation highlights the analytical strengths and sample environments developed for electrochemical cells at BAM, showcasing their application to electrocatalysis for energy conversion (e.g., water splitting, CO₂ reduction). Emphasis will be placed on how these insights contribute to the rational design and real-time optimization of functional materials for a sustainable energy future.

A low-pressure glow discharge plasma is applied in this system, which ‘sputters’ and promotes the sample atoms to a higher energy state. When the atoms return to their ground state, they emit light with characteristic wavelengths, which a spectrometer can detect. Thus, GD-OES combines the advantages of ICP-OES with solid sampling techniques, which enables it to determine the bulk elemental composition and depth profiles. However, direct solid sampling methods such as glow-discharge spectroscopy require reference materials for calibration due to the strong matrix effect. Reference materials are essential when the accuracy and reliability of measurement results need to be guaranteed to generate confidence in the analysis. These materials are frequently used to determine measurement uncertainty, validate methods, suitability testing, and quality assurance. In addition, they guarantee that measurement results can be compared to recognized reference values. Unfortunately, the availability of certified reference materials suited to calibrate all elements in different matrix materials is limited. Therefore various calibration strategies and the preparation of traceable matrix-matched calibration standards will be discussed. Machine learning is an essential component of the growing field of data science. Through statistical methods, algorithms are trained to make classifications or predictions, uncovering key insights within data mining projects. Therefore, it was tried in our work to combine GD-OES with machine learning strategies to establish a new and robust calibration model, which can be used to identify the elemental composition and concentration of metals from a single spectrum. For this purpose, copper reference materials from different manufacturers, which contain various impurity elements, were investigated using GD-OES. The obtained spectra information are evaluated with different algorithms (e.g., gradient boosting and artificial neural networks), and the results are compared and discussed in detail.
