Influence of Se doping on recently synthesized NaInS2-xSex solid solutions for potential thermo-mechanical applications studied via first-principles method

Effects of Al Doping on the Properties of Li7La3Zr2O12 Garnet Solid Electrolyte Synthesized by Combustion Sol-gel Method

Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) garnets are one of the promising materials as electrolytes for solid-state batteries. In this study, Li7-3xAlxLa3Zr2O12 (x= 0.22, 0.25, and 0.28) garnet is synthesized using the combustion sol-gel method to stabilize the cubic phase for higher ionic conductivity. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) results of as-synthesized powders reveal that by addition of 0.22 and 0.25 mole Al, t...

Phase stability of ScN-based solid solutions for thermoelectric applications from first-principles calculations

Synthesis of Zataria Multiflora extraction loaded chitosan/PEO nanofibers via electrospinning method for potential biomedical applications

Background & Objective: The nanofibers are referred to as fibers with a diameter of less than 1000 nm. There are various ways to make nanofibers, one of which is electrospinning. In this method, nanofibers are formed on aluminum sheets. The conversion of chitosan to derivatives with greater solubility, its mixing with other polymers and the use of special solvents are methods for its ease of us...

Determining the optimal conditions for calcium titanate nanoparticles synthesized via mechanical alloying method

In this research, calcium titanate nanoparticles have been synthesized via mechanical alloying (MA). By changing the parameters of mechanical alloying, optimal conditions for synthesis of this compound was determined. For synthesis of this compound, a mixture of calcium hydroxide and titanium dioxide, rotation speed of 250 rpm and differnet ball to powder weight ratio was used. Phase investigat...
