In einem gemeinsamen Forschungsprojekt (FOSTA-P1380/IGF21162BG) der BAM und der TU Chemnitz werden die mit Eigenspannungsausbildung und der Gefahr einer Kaltrissbildung verbundenen prozess- und werkstoffbedingten sowie konstruktiven Einflüsse untersucht. Im Fokus dieser Analysen steht die Bestimmung der Wechselwirkungen zwischen WAAM-Prozessparametern bzw. der Wärmeführung auf das Gefüge und die Eigenspannungen. Hierfür werden Referenzproben als offene Hohlquader mit definierten Abmessungen vollautomatisiert mit einem speziellen, hochfesten WAAM-Massivdraht (Streckgrenze >790 MPa) geschweißt. Die gezielte Einstellung der geometrischen Eigenschaften erfolgt durch Schweißparameter und Nahtaufbau bei ca. 4 kg/h mittlerer Abschmelzleistung. Die Wärmeführung wird innerhalb eines statistischen Versuchsplanes mittels Streckenenergie (200 kJ/m bis 650 kJ/m) und Zwischenlagentemperatur (100 °C bis 300 °C) so variiert, dass die t8/5-Abkühlzeiten dem empfohlenen Verarbeitungsbereich entsprechen (ca. 5 s bis 20 s). Ziel ist es bei konstanten geometrisch-konstruktiven Randbedingungen, den Einfluss der Wärmeführung auf Gefüge und resultierende Eigenspannungen zu analysieren. Darüber hinaus erfolgt die Bestimmung des Einflusses der t8/5-Abkühlzeit auf die mechanisch-technologischen Eigenschaften des speziellen, hochfesten WAAM-Massivdrahts mithilfe von Dilatometeranalysen. Für die Streckenenergie können neben den Gefügeeinflüssen aufgrund der resultierenden Abkühlzeit deutliche Effekte insbesondere auf die lokalen Eigenspannungen im Bauteil belegt werden. Das Schweißen mit zu hoher Wärmeeinbringung bzw. Abschmelzleistung kann zu ungünstigen Gefüge- und Bauteileigenschaften führen, gleichzeitig jedoch niedrigere Zugeigenspannungsniveaus bewirken. Die Dilatometeranalysen zeigen für den untersuchten WAAM-Schweißzusatzwerkstoff eine großes t8/5-Zeitfenster mit einer vergleichsweise geringen Abnahme der Zugfestigkeit mit zunehmender t8/5-Abkühlzeit. Solche komplexen Wechselwirkungen gilt es letztlich mit diesen Untersuchungen zu klären, um leicht anwendbare Verarbeitungsempfehlungen und Normvorgaben für ein wirtschaftliches, anforderungsgerechtes und risssicheres WAAM von hochfesten Stählen den Anwendern zur Verfügung zu stellen.

Efficient manufacturing can be achieved here above all by Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM). First commercial high-strength welding consumables for WAAM are already available. However, due to a lack of knowledge and guidelines for the industry regarding welding residual stresses and component safety in manufacturing and operation, their application is still severely limited. Residual stresses play a crucial role here, as the sensitive microstructure of high-strength steels carries a high risk of cold cracking. For this reason, process- and material-related influences, as well as the design aspects on residual stress formation and the risk of cold cracking, are being investigated in a recent project (FOSTA-P1380/IGF21162BG). This high strength of the WAAM welding consumables is adjusted via a martensitic phase transformation. The volume expansion associated with martensite formation has a significant influence on residual stress evolution. However, this has not yet been investigated in relation to the processing of high-strength steels by WAAM. The aim of this work is to establish a WAAM cold crack test and easy-to-apply processing recommendations that will allow economical, expedient, and crack-resistant fabrication of high-strength steels, especially for SME. This paper focuses on the analysis of the effects of welding heat control and design of WAAM components on cooling conditions, microstructure, mechanical-technological properties and residual stresses. For this purpose, geometrically defined specimens (hollow cuboids) are welded fully automatically with a special, high-strength WAAM solid wire (yield strength >790 MPa). The heat control and specimen dimensions are varied within a statistical experimental design. The weld heat control is adjusted in such a way that the t8/5 cooling times are ensured within the recommended processing range (approx. 5–20 s). For this purpose, additional thermo-physical forming simulations using a dilatometer allowed the complex heat cycles to be reproduced and the resulting ultimate tensile strength of the weld metal to be determined. The WAAM welding of complex geometries with varying welding heat control and geometric factors or wall thicknesses not only has an effect on the cooling conditions, cooling times and microstructure, but also has a significant influence on the structural restraint conditions during welding. Hence, the welding experiments show significant effects of specimen scaling and heat input on the welding residual stresses, which may be detrimental regarding component properties and crack-critical tensile residual stresses. These complex interactions are analyzed within this investigation T2 - 75th IIW Annual Assembly (Subcomission IIA) CY - Online meeting DA - 17.07.2022 KW - WAAM KW - Residual Stresses KW - High-strength Steels KW - Cold cracking safety KW - Wind energy KW - Heat control PY - 2022 AN - OPUS4-56715 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER - TY - CONF A1 - Rhode, Michael T1 - Joining processes for components in hydrogen technologies: Current need and future importance N2 - This presentation gives an overview on the importance of joining processes for component fabrication in hydrogen technologies.

These components are typically submerged arc welded (SAW) high-strength thick steel plates like the S420ML. During welding, the occurrence of delayed hydrogen assisted cracking (HAC) must be anticipated. HAC is a critical combination of the local hydrogen concentration within a susceptible microstructure under certain mechanical load, i.e., the occurring (welding) residual stresses. The welding sequence of the thick-walled plates complicate the residual stress distribution due to the necessary repeated thermal cycling, i.e., welding seam / layer deposition to fill the joint. For that purpose, SAW with two-wire-technique was used to weld a specially designed and prototype-like mock-up of a real component with a thickness of 50 mm, filled with 22 passes and a seam length of 1,000 mm. Additional welded stiffeners simulated the effect of a high restraint, to stimulate critical HAC conditions. The residual stresses were determined by a robot XRD goniometer. A least square regression analysis of the sin²ψ-law by using multiple ψ- and φ-tilts was applied. Tensile residual stresses up to the yield limit are found both in the weld metal and in the heat-affected zone. Numerical modelling allowed the qualitative estimation of the hydrogen diffusion in the weld, enabling the determination of critical conditions for the formation of HAC. In a future step, a structural simulation will allow the assessment of the welding residual stresses and the comparison to the XRD-values.

Diese Bauwerke müssen hohen Anforderungen an Sicherheit und Integrität genügen, weshalb im Projekt SealWasteSafe Werkstofftechnik, Prüfverfahren und Überwachungsmethoden für sichere Verschlussbauwerke verbessert werden. Dabei zeigen die untersuchten alkaliaktivierten Materialien (AAM) langsamere Reaktionskinetik bei der Erhärtung im Vergleich zu Salzbeton, was potenziell geringere Rissbildung erwarten lässt. Die Erhärtung wird an Probekörpern (100-300 l) multisensorisch über einen Zeitraum von mindestens 28 Tagen überwacht. Die Parameter Temperatur und Feuchtigkeit werden einerseits kabelgebunden, andererseits mittels drahtloser Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)-Technik aufgezeichnet. Zusätzlich kommen Schallemissionsmessungen sowie Dehnungsmessungen mittels verteilter faseroptischer Sensorik (FOS) zum Einsatz. Die Überwachung zeigt verschiedene Charakteristika beim Erhärten der Materialien mit geringerer Temperaturentwicklung des AAM. Zusätzlich werden Ultraschallmessungen genutzt, um Einbauteile und Störstellen wie Risse und Delaminationen im Rahmen der Qualitätssicherung am Probekörper und am Verschlussbauwerk zu detektieren. Dafür werden sowohl ein Ultraschallmesssystem mit großer Apertur (LAUS) als auch eine Ultraschall-Bohrlochsonde eingesetzt. Durch Erhöhung des Schalldrucks und Schallfeldbündelung im Beton wird die Aussagekraft der von der Bohrlochsonde aufgezeichneten Messsignale verbessert, was in Modellierungen und ersten Labortests gezeigt werden kann. Die Auswertung der Ultraschallmessungen zeigt das große Potenzial der Methode mit Eindringtiefen bis zu 9 m, wobei anspruchsvolle Abbildungsverfahren zu einer verbesserten Abbildung der internen Strukturen führen. Insgesamt verbessern die im Projekt SealWasteSafe entwickelten Materialien und Methoden die Möglichkeiten für sichere Verschlussbauwerke nuklearer Endlager.

Therefore, the joining parts preferably have to be milled. The study deals with the influence of the edge quality, the gap and the misalignment of edges on the weld seam quality of hybrid laser-arc welded 20-mm-thick structural steel plates which were prepared by laser and plasma cutting. Single-pass welds were conducted in butt joint configuration. An AC magnet was used as a contactless backing. It was positioned under the workpiece during the welding process to prevent sagging. The profile of the edges and the gap between the workpieces were measured before welding by a profile scanner or a digital camera, respectively. With a laser beam power of just 13.7 kW, the single-pass welds could be performed. A gap bridgeability up to 1 mm at laser-cut and 2 mm at plasma-cut samples could be reached respectively. Furthermore, a misalignment of the edges up to 2 mm could be welded in a single pass. The new findings may eliminate the need for cost and time-consuming preparation of the edges.

The goal is to examine the sealing structures made of salt concrete for possible cracks, delamination, and embedded objects. A prototype probe uses 12 individual horizontal dry point contact (DPC) shear wave transducers separated by equidistant transmitter/receiver arrays of six individual transducers each. It is operated with a commercially available portable ultrasonic flaw detector used in the civil engineering industry. To increase the generated acoustic pressure of the borehole probe, the number of transducers in the novel probe is increased to 32. In addition, a timed excitation of each probe directs a focused beam of sound to a specific angle and distance based on calculated time delays. This limits the sensitive test volume and improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the received signals. This paper presents the validation of the newly developed phased array borehole probe by investigating the directivity through beam computation in the CIVA software and experimental investigations on a semi-cylindrical test specimen. It is expected that an optimised radiation pattern of the probe in combination with geophysical reconstruction methods will improve the signal quality and thus increase the reliability of the imaging results. This is of great importance for the construction of safe sealing structures needed for the disposal of radioactive or toxic waste.

This work is focused on the investigation of silver diffusion in alkali zinc borate glasses (X2O-ZnO-B2O3, X = Li, Na, K, Rb). In addition, the redox state of silver (Ag) and thus the type of diffusing silver species were studied. For this purpose, a metallic silver coating was applied on glass cubes by means of sputtering. Heat treatment of the samples was performed close to the glass transition temperatures at 470 °C for 2 h under air and nitrogen atmosphere. Coating thickness was 1.8 µm after heat treatment, measured by a white light interferometer. Silver diffusion profiles were measured by means of secondary neutral mass spectrometry. The silver diffusion coefficients are in the range of ~10-14 cm2/s and indicate no significant differences depending on the type of alkali ions in the glass. Dissolved Ag+-ions and [Agm]n+-clusters in the glasses were differentiated using fluorescence spectroscopy. Precipitated metallic silver particles in the sodium containing glass were observed by means of transmission electron microcopy. Their mean particle diameter was ~6 nm.

For cost reasons, plant designers favorize low alloyed steels, e.g., carbon steel, which are susceptible to uniform and localized corrosion when exposed to geothermal brines having acidic and saline properties. To solve such problem, coatings or inhibitors would be a protective solution as an alternative to the use of high alloyed materials. This study investigated a coating system consisting of polyaniline/silicon dioxide basing on locally available resources. Protection against corrosion of carbon steel is shown by long-term exposure and electrochemical tests of coated carbon steels, performed in an artificial acidic and saline geothermal brine, comparable to real conditions at a site in Indonesia. Therefore, an integrated coating system is presented for corrosion protection, combining the electro-chemical functionality of polyaniline and the physical advantages of silica.

This poses a challenge for the corrosion industry, as building climate‐resilient energy systems and infrastructures brings with it a long‐term direction, so as a result the long‐term behaviour of structural materials (mainly metals and alloys) becomes a major prospect. With this in mind “Corrosion Challenges Towards a Sustainable Society” presents a series of cases showing the importance of corrosion protection of metals and alloys in the development of energy production to further understand the science of corrosion, and bring the need for research and the consequences of corrosion into public and political focus.

T1 - Hydrogen trapping and embrittlement in high-strength Al alloys N2 - Ever more stringent regulations on greenhouse gas emissions from transportation motivate efforts to revisit materials used for vehicles. High-strength aluminium alloys often used in aircrafts could help reduce the weight of automobiles, but are susceptible to environmental degradation. Hydrogen ‘embrittlement’ is often indicated as the main culprit; however, the exact mechanisms underpinning failure are not precisely known: atomic-scale analysis of H inside an alloy remains a challenge, and this prevents deploying alloy design strategies to enhance the durability of the materials. Here we performed near-atomic-scale analysis of H trapped in second-phase particles and at grain boundaries in a high-strength 7xxx Al alloy. We used these observations to guide atomistic ab initio calculations, which show that the co-segregation of alloying elements and H favours grain boundary decohesion, and the strong partitioning of H into the second-phase particles removes solute H from the matrix, hence preventing H embrittlement. Our insights further advance the mechanistic understanding of H-assisted embrittlement in Al alloys, emphasizing the role of H traps in minimizing cracking and guiding new alloy design.

Cross section analysis revealed the crevice corrosion as main mechanism instead of pitting corrosion, which would be expected to happen in the extremely high Chloride concentration. Detailed analysis using EDS line scan shown the slow diffusion of Chloride, suggesting why pitting did not happen after 20 weeks. To mimic the passivated steel surface, the steel coupon was passivated in simulated pore solution having pH 13.5 for 42 days. The passivated coupon was further exposed to NGB solution for 28 days. Electrochemical characterization was performed along the exposure processes to reveal the change in impedance, indicating the corrosion resistance of steel casing/mortar interface.

The fast and safe market ramp up of hydrogen technologies makes it evident to evaluate a wider understanding of this topic. In general it is often described as hydrogen embrittlement. Therefore it is desirable to achieve a test method which is able to provide material properties under hydrogen atmosphere in an easy way. Currently mechanical tests under hydrogen atmosphere are executed in autoclaves. For this technique complex hardware is needed, therefore tests are expensive and test capacities are only available in a small scale. The shown test method promises a trendsetting approach for reducing costs and machine time by using hollow specimen.

To achieve the goals defined for 2050, the EU and the German government have developed a framework for action and are making long-term investments in research, development, and the rapid implementation of innovative hydrogen technologies. With the Competence Centre "H2Safety@BAM", BAM is creating the safety-related prerequisites for the successful implementation of hydrogen technologies at national as well as European level. To this end, BAM conducts research, testing and consulting in a holistic and inter-disciplinary manner under one roof – in the Competence Centre H2Safety@BAM. The activities of the competence centre focus on ensuring the safety of infra-structures, plants, and processes as well as innovative hydrogen transport and storage systems based on digital quality testing and the experimental testing of components and systems. It thus creates the prerequisites for the implementation and adaptation of legal framework conditions as well as for standardization. Closely related to this are investigations into the properties and compatibility of metallic materials and polymers as well as friction systems for the safe operation of components, plants, processes, and systems. This interdisciplinary and holistic approach is complemented by the development of gas analytics and suitable sensors, online measurements of gas properties in process control, test scenarios under real conditions as well as impact assessments of accidents and risk assessments and risk management systems derived from them. With its portfolio of tasks and competences, BAM builds trust in the safety and reliability of technical system solutions for hydrogen. T2 - 772.

T1 - Mit „Knallgas“ in die Zukunft? Sicherheit von Wasserstoff – Von der Herstellung bis zur Nutzung N2 - Der Vortrag gibt eine Antwort auf die Frage: „Ist der Umgang mit Wasserstoff so sicher, dass wir unsere Zukunft darauf aufbauen können?“ Dr. Mair stellt das Kompetenzzentraum H2Safety@BAM vor. Er beginnt mit dem spektakulären Wasserstoff-Unfall auf dem Tempelhofer Feld aus dem Jahr 1894, kommt zur Gründung des Kompetenzzentrums im Kontext der Wasserstoffstrategien Deutschlands und der EU und erläutert deren sicherheitsfokussierte Ausrichtung, um Vertrauen in Wasserstofftechnologien zu schaffen und zu bewahren. Danach werden die physikalischen Eigenschaften von Wasserstoff im Vergleich zu Methan (Erdgas) vorgestellt. Dies leitet über zur Betrachtung des Hindenburg-Unfall sin Lakehurst 1937. Im nächsten Abschnitt werden der weltweite Bedarf an H2, sein Importbedarf aus deutscher Sicht, das weltweite Erzeugungspotential und der Transportaufwand der üblichen H2-Derivate dargelegt. Die zentrale Frage ist die nach der Sicherheit von Wasserstoff als Ergebnis der bisher ergriffenen Maßnahmen. Es werden wenige der immer wieder geschehenden Unfälle im Transport von Energieträgern vorgestellt, was zur Erkenntnis führt, dass, um die Sicherheit objektiv beurteilen zu können, der Risikobegriff herangezogen werden muss. Das Risiko basiert auf der Konsequenz und der Häufigkeit eines Ereignisses. Mit Blick auf den bereits erkennbaren Markhochlauf wird dargelegt, wie eine Risikosteuerung in Abhängigkeit der Produkte im Transport funktionieren kann. Hierzu muss beachtet werden, dass jede Eigenschaft streut. Damit sind auch die Zuverlässigkeit jedes einzelnen Speichers, des gesamten Bestandes an Gasspeichern, im Neuzustand und erst recht mit zunehmendem Alter einer Streuung unterworfen, die aktuell nur über Stichproben abgeschätzt werden kann. Es wird an Beispielen aufgezeigt, welche Prüftechniken und Beurteilungsmethoden die BAM zur Sicherheitsbeurteilung von Transportspeichern und sogar Tankstellen einsetzt und weiterentwickelt. Dies führt zu einem Petitum für probabilistische Betrachtungsweisen von Produktsicherheit mit Blick auf die Qualität der Rechtsvorschriften, der Produktdesigns und der Herstellung von Produkten für die Wasserstoffanwendung.

Characteristic of hydrogen technologies are, for example, harsh environmental conditions such as cryogenic or high-pressure storage, corrosion issues in fuel cells and electrolyzers, turbines, and many more. Additive manufacturing of components is becoming increasingly important and irreplaceable for the production of complex technical systems. Using the case studies of burners for gas turbines and electrodes and membranes for polymer (PEMFC) and solid oxide (SOFC) fuel cells, this article shows the potential of additive manufacturing of components. At the same time, however, the challenge of considering divergent mechanical properties depending on the direction of assembly in a "hydrogen-compatible" manner is also highlighted. Finally, the challenges posed by additive manufacturing and hydrogen for materials testing are highlighted under scenarios that are as realistic as possible.

Here we show how both colonisation and stress resistance are linked to the properties of the fungal cell surface. By deleting genes involved in the synthesis of melanin and carotenoid pigments of the model rock-inhabiting fungus Knufia petricola via CRISPR-Cas and comparing the behaviour of the gene-deletion mutants with the wild type (WT), we studied the role of these genes in mineral colonisation and stress sensitivity. The extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) of biofilms of the WT and mutants were extracted, quantified and chemically characterised. We observed that the absence of melanin affected the quantity and composition of the produced EPS: melanin-deficient mutants synthesised more EPS containing fewer pullulan-related glycosidic linkages. Moreover, in mineral dissolution experiments, these mutants showed a lower ability to colonise the mineral olivine. We hypothesise that not melanin, but the pullulan-related linkages enabled the melanin-producing strains to attach more strongly to the mineral. Moreover, ICP-OES analysis of the aqueous mineral-derived solutes showed that biofilms of the K. petricola mutants which could attach were able to dissolve the olivine faster than those that could not. The same mutants were also characterised by their sensitivity to desiccation stress: only the mutant deficient in both melanin and carotenoid synthesis was more sensitive to desiccation compared to the WT, indicating that a combination of both pigments is critical to withstand desiccation. Overall, these results show the critical role of the cell surface in the specific capacities of rock-inhabiting fungi.

EDS element line scan analysis of the 20-week-exposed metal/mortar coupon showed Chloride distribution, which still not reached the metal/mortar interface, explaining no pitting was observed. It was confirmed that FeCO3 cannot protect the steel surface in CO2 saturated NGB. To verify the protective possibility of passivation happened on casing steel/mortar interface, simulated pore solution was synthesized and used to passivate the steel for 42 days. OCP and EIS confirmed the formation of passive layer. The 42 day passivated layer was broken during the first minute of exposure in CO2 saturated NGB. However, due to high concentration of Ca2+, a new carbonate CaCO3 dense layer was formed, increased the corrosion resistance of steel surface.

T1 - Non-uniform He bubble formation in W/W2C composite: Experimental and ab-initio study N2 - Tungsten-tungsten carbide (W/W2C) composites are considered as possible structural materials for future nuclear fusion reactors. Here, we report on the effect of helium (He) implantation on microstructure evolution of polycrystalline W/W2C composite consolidated by field-assisted sintering technique (FAST), homogenously implanted at room temperature with 1 MeV 4He+ ions at the fluence of 8 × 1016 ions cm−2 and annealed at 1873 K for 20 minutes. Samples were analysed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy to study the presence and size of He bubbles. Monomodal He bubbles in W (30-80 nm) are limited to point defects and grain boundaries, with a considerable void denuded zone (150 nm). Bubbles do not form in W2C, but at the W|W2C interface and are considerably larger (200-400 nm). The experimental observations on He behaviour and migration in W and W2C were assessed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, suggesting He migration and accumulation in the composite are determined by the effective He-He binding in clusters, which will give rise to decohesion. In the presence of He clusters, the decohesion of bulk W into free surfaces is energetically highly favourable but not sufficient in the W2C; hence bubbles are only observed in W grains and interfaces and not within bulk W2C.

T1 - Unveiling nonmonotonic chemical trends in the solubility of H in complex Fe-Cr-Mn carbides by means of ab initio based approaches N2 - The microstructure of advanced high-strength steels often shows a sensitive dependence on alloying. For example, adding Cr to improve the corrosion resistance of medium-Mn steels also enhances the precipitation of carbides. The current study focuses on the behavior of H in such complex multicomponent carbides by employing different methodological strategies. We systematically analyze the impact of Cr, Mn, and Fe using density functional theory (DFT) for two prototype precipitate phases, M3C and M23C6, where M represents the metal sublattice. Our results show that the addition of these alloying elements yields strong nonmonotonic chemical trends for the H solubility. We identify magnetovolume effects as the origin for this behavior, which depend on the considered system, the sites occupied by H, and short- vs long-range interactions between H and the alloying elements. We further show that the H solubility is directly correlated with the occupation of its nearest-neighbor shells by Cr and Mn. Based on these insights, DFT data from H containing binary-metal carbides are used to design a ridge regression based model that predicts the solubility of H in the ternary-metal carbides (Fe-Cr-Mn-C).

However, with the increasing demand for energy storage, battery technologies must be diversified according to their specific requirements in different applications. In terms of stationary energy storage and electric vehicles, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are considered to be the most attractive alternative to LIBs due to the uniformly high abundance and cost-effectiveness of raw materials, enabling large-scale and low-cost energy storage. Unlike LIBs where crystalline graphite is commonly used as the anode material, disordered carbons are regarded as more promising for SIBs. However, further advances towards better reversibility and higher specific capacity are still needed to match or exceed that of graphite in LIBs. The main challenge is the complex and unpredictable Na+ storage mechanism in disordered carbons, as they may have different properties depending on the precursors and carbonization conditions. [1] Recently, Matsukawa et al. have reported that the reversibility of (de)sodiation processes of disordered carbons is better for ultramicroporous carbons.[2] These pores are accessible only to Na+ ions and not to solvent molecules. Therefore, the (de)sodiation processes are protected from the side reactions caused by the solvent, which reduces the related irreversible capacity loss. With this idea, the origin of the specific capacity and irreversible losses will be further investigated by tailoring chemical composition (e.g., heteroatom doping) as well as pore structure of hard carbons used as anode materials in SIBs. For the synthesis scalable and industrially relevant processes will be used. The structure and morphology of the materials will be characterized by electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. In addition, different gas sorption techniques will be carried out to analyze the porosity, pore sizes and specific surface areas. The electrochemical performance of the prepared materials will be evaluated based on coin cells, three-electrode Swagelok cells, and pouch cells. Moreover, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy will be performed to help understand the mechanism of Na+ storage.

Yet deployment of Fe–N–Cs in fuel cells requires also a flow-enhancing pore structure, and a scalable synthesis procedure – a rarely-met combination of requirements. We now report such a simple synthesis of over 10 g of an Fe–N–C catalyst with high activity towards oxygen reduction in acid. Atomically-dispersed Fe–N4 active sites were designed orthogonally and simultaneously with hierarchical micro-, meso- and macroporosity, by exploiting a dual role of magnesium ions during pyrolysis. Combining the “active site imprinting” and “self-templating” strategies in a single novel magnesium iminodiacetate precursor yielded a catalyst with high specific surface area (SSA > 1600 m2 g−1), a flow-enhancing hierarchical porosity, and high relative abundance of the most desirable D1-type Fe–N4 sites (43%, by Mössbauer spectroscopy at 4.2 K). Despite the relatively low iron contents, the catalysts feature halfwave potentials up to 0.70 V vs. RHE at pH 1 and a mass activity of 1.22 A g−1 at 0.8 V vs. RHE in RDE experiments. Thanks to the simple and scalable synthesis, this active and stable catalyst may serve as a workhorse in academic and industrial research into atomically-dispersed ORR electrocatalysis.

T1 - The sustainable materials roadmap N2 - Our ability to produce and transform engineered materials over the past 150 years is responsible for our high standards of living today, especially in the developed economies. Yet, we must carefully think of the effects our addiction to creating and using materials at this fast rate will have on the future generations. The way we currently make and use materials detrimentally affects the planet Earth, creating many severe environmental problems. It affects the next generations by putting in danger the future of economy, energy, and climate. We are at the point where something must drastically change, and it must change NOW. We must create more sustainable materials alternatives using natural raw materials and inspiration from Nature while making sure not to deplete important resources, i.e. in competition with the food chain supply. We must use less materials, eliminate the use of toxic materials and create a circular materials economy where reuse and recycle are priorities. We must develop sustainable methods for materials recycling and encourage design for disassembly. We must look across the whole materials life cycle from raw resources till end of life and apply thorough life cycle assessments based on reliable and relevant data to quantify sustainability.

A1 - Fellinger, Tim-Patrick T1 - Evaluation of the Specific Activity of MNCs and the Intrinsic Activity of Tetrapyrrolic FeN4 Sites for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction N2 - M−N−C electrocatalysts are considered pivotal to replace expensive precious group metal-based materials in electrocatalytic conversions. However, their development is hampered by the limited availability of methods for the evaluation of the intrinsic activity of different active sites, like pyrrolic FeN4 sites within Fe−N−Cs. Currently, new synthetic procedures based on active-site imprinting followed by an ion exchange reaction, e.g. Zn-to-Fe, are producing single-site M−N−Cs with outstanding activity. Based on the same replacement principle, we employed a conservative iron extraction to partially remove the Fe ions from the N4 cavities in Fe−N−Cs. Having catalysts with the same morphological properties and Fe ligation that differ solely in Fe content allows for the facile determination of the decrease in density of active sites and their turn-over frequency. In this way, insight into the specific activity of M−N−Cs is obtained and for single-site catalysts the intrinsic activity of the site is accessible. This new approach surpasses limitations of methods that rely on probe molecules and, together with those techniques, offers a novel tool to unfold the complexity of Fe−N−C catalyst and M−N−Cs in general.

It was shown that nitrogen doped carbons (NDCs) act as an inexpensive and highly active non-metal catalyst in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), with the potential to reach performances of practical need one day. A key strategy towards improvement for this aim comprises the generation of advantageous porosity, which typically means high surface area and mass transport pores as well as the control over the chemistry of catalytically active sites. My group is developing novel sol-gel type strategies that are using molten salts or molten acids as unconventional reaction medium for the porogenesis in doped carbons, thereby revisiting classic activation techniques.[1,2] Carbon materials with extra high surface area of ~2800 m2 g-1 and pore volumes, up to four times as high as in commercial activated carbons, are obtained.[3] It turns out that the meso- and macrostructure is generated by means of phase separation rather than leaching reactions. However, chemical reactions between the carbon precursor and the melt are also involved. The salt cations Mg2+ and Zn2+ act as template ions, which results in metal coordination sites, embedded into the carbon structure.[4,5] The imprinted structure may be utilized as catalytically active site by performing ion-exchange reactions. The novel preparation strategy towards highly active electrocatalysts will be presented for Mg and Zn and further discussed for lighter elements.

Activated carbons are increasingly considered also for electrochemical applications e.g. supercapacitors and metal-ion hybrid capacitors. Those devices usually employ activated carbon electrodes, where ions are stored by means of adsorption/desorption.[1] Meanwhile, in lithium-sulfur batteries, sulfur is loaded within activated carbon pores to confine insoluble intermediates.[2] The activation is normally proceeded in top-down or bottom-up strategies. Therein pore formation (porogenesis) occurs by reaction with steam, CO2, KOH, or the use of acidic agents. It is generally accepted, that the porogenesis mechanism is chemical leaching of carbon atoms. Recently, the sol-gel type synthesis of nitrogen-doped carbon in molten acids was presented, questioning the general validity of a leaching activation mechanism.[3] The protocol using inorganic salt melts (MgCl2 or ZnCl2) and organic precursors additionally generated N-functionalities. Interestingly, it can be noticed that the imprinting cations play a crucial role towards chemical structure of nitrogen-doped carbon framework. The coordinated geometry is well-known from phthalocyanine, a macrocyclic N-complexes (MN4-sites, where M is metal cation) which are desirable surface complexes, e.g. in electrocatalysis. The analogous phenomenon may be observed when using H3PO4 and H3BO3 agent via sol-gel chemistry.[4] Herein, the carbonization of mixtures of organic compound with H3PO4 and H3BO3 is investigated. Therefore, associated effects regarding the presence of P and B atoms within resulting nitrogen-doped carbons as well as the porogenesis mechanism are discussed. The understanding of moieties probably offers a new perspective of non-leaching carbon activation hence, provides a feasible pathway towards improved performances in electrochemical applications.

High activities of these electrocatalysts mainly come from transition metal centres that are atomically dispersed as M-N4 active sites within a nitrogen doped carbon matrix. Because of the required pyrolytic synthesis conditions, it is quite challenging to prepare M-N-Cs that purely consist of M-N4 active sites. Classical synthesis routes often result in the formation of additional side phases such metallic nanoparticles or metal carbides, which limit the density of M-N4 sites and lead to lower catalytic activity.1 Herein, we present our work on M-N-C synthesis using an active site imprinting approach as an alternate synthetic route to address the above-mentioned issue. We show that both Mg and Zn can be used for active site imprinting. The imprinted coordination environment can be coordinated with various transition metal ions, resulting in Fe-N-C, Co-N-C and Ni-N-C catalysts containing M-N4 sites exclusively.2-4 The electrochemical performance of the synthesized catalysts is evaluated for CO2RR and ORR. Ni-N-Cs exhibit an excellent CO2 reduction activity with high CO faradic efficiency value of 95% at U= -0.5 to -0.8 VRHE (vs reversible hydrogen electrode) and a mass activity of 23 A g-1. The performance stability test carried out at -0.65 VRHE demonstrates above 92 % retention of the current density and 97 % retention of the CO selectivity after 100 h of continuous operation, reflecting the structural robustness of the Ni-N-C catalyst in CO2RR test environment. When employed as ORR catalysts, both Fe-N-C and Co-N-C deliver promising activities with half-wave potentials >0.8 VRHE in acidic electrolyte and >0.9 VRHE in alkaline electrolyte. The talk will include greater details of the structural analysis and electrochemical performance evaluation of these catalysts.

Amorphous carbons with well-developed pore structures are of particular interest due to their superior mass-transport characteristics and remarkable charge storage capacities. The salt-templating method with its advantage of combined soft and hard templating effects provides a sustainable way to synthesize nano- and mesoporous carbons with tailored porosities via in-situ ionothermal template transformation [1]. In this work, we utilized a MgCl2-based salt melt to prepare nitrogen doped carbons (N-C) with different morphologies and porosities, which were evaluated as anode materials in sodium ion batteries. Simultaneously, use of MgCl2 salt leads to the formation of Mg-N4 moieties in those carbons by means of a pyrolytic template-ion effect (active site imprinting) [2]. Porous carbon frameworks with imprinted Mg-N4 sites are interesting particularly for electrocatalysis applications as they offer an ideal platform to prepare M-N-C catalysts (where M= Co, Fe, Ni etc.) by ion-exchange reactions at low temperatures. The resultant M-N-C catalysts consist purely of M-N4 active sites and high porosity of carbon framework facilitates efficient mass-transport of reacting species. We utilized Mg-N4 imprinted carbons to synthesize morphologically equivalent Ni-N-Cs and Co-N-Cs, containing phase pure Ni-N4 and Co-N4 sites, for electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2RR). In electrochemical tests, Ni-N-Cs exhibited an excellent CO2 reduction activity with considerably higher CO selectivity and mass activity as compared to Co-N-C. The faradic efficiency value of Ni-N-C for CO formation was 95% at U= -0.5 to -0.8 VRHE (vs reversible hydrogen electrode) and a mass activity of 23 A g-1. The performance stability test carried out at -0.65 VRHE demonstrated above 90 % retention of the current density and CO selectivity after 100 h of continuous operation, reflecting the structural robustness of the Ni-N-C catalyst. Finally, these ionothermal carbons with two different morphologies (but without any Ni or Co incorporation) were employed as the anode materials in sodium-ion batteries to evaluate the effects of carbon morphology and functionalization on sodium storage capacities. Compared to the reference carbon material, substantially higher reversible sodium storage capacities were reached with these high porosity carbons that were in the range of 300-500 mAh g-1 [3]. Although the reversible capacity was obtained only after extensive SEI formation, our results reveal the potential for much higher reversible capacities than usually observed using carbons with a tailored porosity in sodium-ion batteries. The talk will include greater details of the structural analysis and sodium storage and CO2 reduction results of these ionothermal carbons.

Herein non-precious iron-coordinated nitrogen doped carbons (Fe-N-Cs) are very promising alternatives for Pt-based cathode catalysts.[1-3] The early reports on the application of such materials date back to the 1960´s when Jasinski demonstrated that - similar to natural porphyrins - N-coordinated transition metal complexes can be active sites for the ORR.[3] The preparation of these catalysts was strongly optimized over the years; still they typically remain with harsh reaction conditions that complicate the selective formation of active FeN4 sites. The employment of pyrolytic temperatures has been a dogma for the synthesis of MN4 sites, however coming with unfavorable side reactions. We recently introduced a mild procedure, which is conservative toward the carbon support and leads to active-site formation at low temperatures in a wet-chemical step, essentially decoupling the preparation of nitrogen doped carbons (NCs) from the preparation of the active sites.[4, 5] The key concept therein is the so-called active site imprinting into the NC using the less reactive template ions Mg2+ [4] or Zn2+.[5] The presentation will introduce the concept of active site imprinting with a focus on Fe-N-C electrocatalyst development and testing. The broad potential of the synthetic approach will be exemplified by recent results, including the selective synthesis of tetrapyrrolic single site catalysts, the assignment of the role of the transition metal compared to the carbon scaffold and a facile method to evaluate specific activity.
