New publication - spinels with enhanced glucose sensing properties

11/6/2022

0 Comments

 
Within the First-TEAM project, we have been working on (Mn,Co)3O4 based spinels for electrocatalytic applications. In one of the studies we have tested modified spinels for glucose sensing properties. We were able to achieve improved sensitivity by partial substitution of Co by Li in the spinel.

Within the Sonata BIS project, the team members (Agnieszka Drewniak, Damian Koszelow, and Jakub Karczewski), went to SLS synchrotron at Paul Scherrer Institut to perfrom in-situ observation of high-temperature oxidation process - oxide scale growth. We have (again) successfully applied for beamtime at the Tomcat line. The measurements were carried out from 30th March to 2nd April 2022.
We have previously analyzed samples after an ex-situ oxidation experiments (Materials & Design paper - LINK), and this time we wanted to check whether it can be done in-situ. After 3 days of measurements, now is time for intensive data analysis!

Our team members (J. Ignaczak, B. Lemieszek, and K. Lankauf) have just finished a measurement session at the National Synchrotron Radiation Centre at the XAS beamline (beamtime number 212054).
The studies concerned the structure of oxide spinels based on MnCo2O4, where we substitute part of Co by Fe and study these novel materials for their electrocatalytic activity for oxygen evolution, as studied in the FNP First TEAM project.
We are grateful for the measurement opportunity!

New publication - synchrotron tomography of porous alloys

11/3/2022

0 Comments

 
In collaboration with Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland, we were able to carry out an interesting tomography study of porous alloys, including oxidized alloys.
The main achievement of this work is the possibility to distinguish the metallic and oxide phases, making detailed 3D analysis possible.
"Morphology changes in Fe-Cr porous alloys upon high-temperature oxidation quantified by X-ray tomographic microscopy" D. Koszelow, S. Molin, J. Karczewski, F. Marone, M. Makowska, Materials & Design, Volume 215, March 2022, 110492. ​LINK TO THE PUBLICATION

This work has been carried out within the Sonata BIS project.

Publication in Corrosion Science

Our work has been published in Corrosion Science, a leading journal in the field of corrosion. 
"High temperature corrosion evaluation and lifetime prediction of porous Fe22Cr stainless steel in air in temperature range 700–900 °C"
This work is based on a collaboration of Gdańsk Tech with Paul Scherrer Institut (M. Makowska, F. Marone), where we have performed some advanced 3D imaging of porous alloys.

This article is also the first outcome of the Sonata BIS project.

We show how can we try to predict the lifetime of the porous alloys based on only short-time measurements (~150 hours). It is a simple and practical approach, supplementing other developed methods of lifetime prediction.

The article is Open Access: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0010938X21003553

    I am a researcher working in materials science, mainly with ceramic materials, but also with metallic alloys.
    I focus on deposition techniques (electrophoretic, electrolytic, spray-pyrolysis) and a few different applications (fuel cells, electrolysis).
