To arrive to sustainable hydrogen-based energy solutions, the understanding of water-splitting catalysts plays the most crucial role. Herein, state-of-the-art hypotheses are combined on electrocatalytic active metal sites toward the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) to develop a highly efficient catalyst based on Earth-abundant cobalt and zinc oxides.
The precursor catalyst Zn0.35Co0.65O is synthesized via a fast microwaveassisted approach at low temperatures. Subsequently, it transforms in situ from the wurtzite structure to the layered γ-Co(O)OH, while most of its zinc leaches out. This material shows outstanding catalytic Performance and stability toward the OER in 1 m KOH (overpotential at 10 mA cm−2 ηinitial = 306 mV, η98 h = 318 mV). By comparing the electrochemical results and ex situ analyses to today’s literature, clear structureactivity correlations are able to be identified. The findings suggest that coordinately unsaturated cobalt octahedra on the surface are indeed the active centers for the OER.
Das Fügeverfahren Kleben bietet viele Vorteile, wie z.B. das Verbinden unterschiedlicher Materialklassen, geringe thermische Belastung (und damit ggf. verbundene Strukturveränderung/-schwächung) der Fügeteile und eine Lastverteilung über den gesamten Fügebereich. Die Auswahl an verfügbaren Klebstoffen und Vorbehandlungsoptionen sind dabei - wie die Applikationen auch - vielfältig. Es werden vier Applikationsbeispiele zu Referenzklebverbunden aus Edelstahl, zur Plasmaaktivierung von Niedrigenergie-Polymeren, zur Bestimmung der Haftfestigkeit von Lackierungen auf GFK und zur Wirkung von Primern vorgestellt. Einige Polymere weisen z.B. Eigenschaften auf, die eine Herstellung von festen und dauerhaft beanspruchbaren Kleb-verbindungen erschweren. Im Allgemeinen geht dies mit geringen Oberflächenenergien einher. Mittels Oberflächenvorbehandlung, z.B. durch Plasmafeinreinigung bzw. Plasmaaktivierung, können die Grenzflächen solcher Polymere - bezogen auf die Eignung als Fügeteile (Klebfestigkeit) oder als Substrat (Haftfestigkeit) – optimiert bzw. die Oberflächenenergie erhöht werden. Schnelle, zuverlässige und statistisch abgesicherte Prüfverfahren zur Ermittlung von Verbund-eigenschaften sind dabei unverzichtbar.

Einige Polymere weisen darüber hinaus Eigenschaften auf, die eine Herstellung von festen und dauerhaft beanspruchbaren Klebverbindungen erschweren. Mittels Oberflächenbehandlung, z.B. durch Plasmafeinreinigung bzw. –aktivierung, können die Grenzflächern solcher Polymere - bezogen auf die Eignung als Fügeteilpartner – optimiert werden. Schnelle Prüfverfahren zur Ermittlung von Verbundeigenschaften sind somit erforderlich.
Das Messprinzip Centrifugal Adhesion Testing Technologie verwendet die radial gerichtete Zentrifugalkraft als Belastungsgröße des zu testenden Verbunds, die durch Variation der Drehzahl gesteuert wird. Bei Erreichen der kritischen Beanspruchung trennt sich ein aufgeklebter Prüfstempel vom Substrat. Zeitgleich wird ein positionsbezogenes IR-Signal aus dem drehenden Rotor an das Basisgerät gesendet und zusammen mit der Drehzahl an die PC-Software übertragen. Für jede Probe wird die Bruchkraft berechnet und in Echtzeit angezeigt. Der Adhesion Analyser LUMiFrac® untersucht bis zu acht Prüfkörper unter identischen Bedingungen. Das neue Messprinzip erfüllt die Anforderungen von DIN EN 15870, DIN EN 14869-2, ISO 4624 sowie DIN EN 13144.
Die Multiprobentestung ermöglicht schnelle Charakterisierungen von Klebverbindungen. So kann der Effekt einer Plasmabehandlung von Bauteilen auf die Verbundfestigkeit zeitsparend bestimmt werden. Die gezielte Veränderung unterschiedlicher Plasma-Parameter, wie beispielsweise, die Plasmazusammensetzung, der Abstand vom Plasmabrenner zur Oberfläche oder die Verweildauer unter dem Brenner, beeinflußt die Festigkeit des Klebsystems und ist dem LUMiFrac direkt quantifizierbar.
Neben der Festigkeitsbestimmung von Klebverbindungen ist die Haftung von Schichtsystemen ein wichtiger Anwendungsbereich. Ergebnisse für Zug- und Scherbeanspruchung, realisiert mit unterschiedlichen Prüfkörper-Geometrien, werden vorgestellt. Ferner werden verschiedene festigkeitsbeeinflussende Faktoren, wie Prüfgeschwindigkeit oder Substratverformung bei Beanspruchung untersucht
Using magnetic materials for energy conversion as an example, this lecture shows how X-ray tomography investigations can contribute to structure elucidation in composites and solid samples. The components are tested non-destructively in order to characterize cracks, pores and other defects and their influence on the functional properties three-dimensionally and in good time in the life cycle of the material. If you combine microtomography with other methods of magnetic material characterization, you can make unique statements about the structure and the functional properties.

Functional materials for energy conversion are important technology drivers needed for the implementation of low carbon energy. Therefore, researchers commonly focus on improving the intrinsic properties of a functional material. However, for applications, the extrinsic properties are at least as important as the intrinsic ones. Consequently, it is important to investigate and understand the external and internal structure of semi-finished products and especially defect dependent properties. The extrinsic properties may change during application and the life cycle of the material as well as through processing and molding steps.
Our studies show how X-ray tomographic (XCT) investigations can contribute to structure investigations in composites and massive samples using the example of magnetic materials for energy conversion. The components are tested non-destructively in 3D in order to localize and characterize cracks, pores, inclusions as well as other defects and their influence on the functional properties and also “in-time” during the life cycle of the material. Exsitu and in-situ experiments performed with non-destructive XCT are predestinated to follow damaging mechanisms of materials under certain load conditions, atmospheres or liquids, e.g. went through several working cycles of a functional material. By combining microtomography with other methods of magnetic and classical material characterization, unique statements about the structure and the functional properties can be made.
From the applications point of view, sometimes complex, three-dimensional geometries are needed to fully exploit the functional properties of the materials, e.g. to ensure a high surface area for heat exchange. Since many functional materials are brittle and difficult to form, shaping is often a big challenge. In principle, additive manufacturing processes offer the possibility to produce complex, porous components from poorly formable alloys.
If all stages of additive manufacturing are accompanied by X-ray tomographic imaging, the process of finding the optimal parameters for material processing can be significantly accelerated.
Based on the quality control of the initial powder material used and also investigations of the shape and arrangement of defects within the molten structure and their relationship with the melting path scanning strategy, Xray tomography has proven to be an ideal tool for additive manufacturing, even for functional materials. Overall, tomographic methods are important tools for the development of functional materials to application maturity.
The industrial use of ultrashort laser pulses has made considerable progress in recent years. The reasons for this lie in the availability of high average powers at pulse repetition rates in the several 100 kHz range. The advantages of using ultrashort laser pulses in terms of processing precision can thus be fully exploited. However, high laser intensities on the workpiece can also lead to the generation of unwanted X-rays. Even if the emitted X-ray dose per pulse is low, the accumulated X-ray dose can become significant for high-repetition-rate laser systems so that X-ray exposure safety limits must be considered. The X-ray emission during ultrashort pulse laser processing was investigated for a pulse duration of 925 fs at 1030 nm wavelength and 400 kHz repetition rate. Industrially relevant materials such as steel, aluminum and glass were treated. Tungsten served as reference. X-ray spectra were recorded, and X-ray dose measurements were performed for laser treatment in air. For laser intensities > 2 × 10^13 W/cm2, X-ray doses exceeding the regulatory exposure limits for members of the public were found. Suitable X-ray protection strategies are proposed.

Ultrashort laser pulse micromachining features a high precision. By increasing the repetition rate of the applied laser to several 100 kHz, laser processing becomes quick and cost-effective and make this method attractive for industrial applications. Upon exceeding a critical laser intensity, hard X-ray radiation is generated as a side effect. Even if the emitted X-ray dose per pulse is low, the accumulated X-ray dose becomes significant for high-repetition-rate laser systems so that radiation safety must be considered.
Water as side effect of reinforcing boehmite filler Local changes in anhydride cured epoxy resin
(2019)
Nanocomposites offer wide opportunities for lightweight constructions and enable reduction of weight and volume. Beside macroscopic toughening nanoparticle reinforced polymers show a soft interface around boehmite (AlOOH) filler nanoparticles. A related strong interaction between boehmite and the anhydride cured resin system is widely suspected in literature but not determined by structural Analysis. Determination of the molecular structure is important to allow simulations approaching the real system and predict future reinforcing effects.
DRIFT (diffuse refletance infrared fourier transformed) spectra of the boehmite reinforced anhydride cured epoxy show significant changes in the molecular structure compared to the neat polymer. Further investigations of the interactions between the single components of the resin system and the boehmite filler pointed out reactions between released water released from the boehmite filler and the anhydride hardener or amine accelerator. This leads to the discussion of competing polymerisation mechanisms that highly influence the polymer properties. Ongoing experiments and literature research approve that this impact of water is able to locally change the stoichiometrie, alter the curing mechanism or support an inhomogeneous crosslink density.
