In high-temperature polymer electrolyte fuel cells (HTPEFC) the quantity and concentration of phosphoric acid (PA) in the catalyst layer and, if wetted, in the gas diffusion layer (GDL) depends on operating conditions. The distribution, concentration and mobility of the PA relates to performance and durability of the HT-PEFC [1]. X-ray radiography (providing 2D information) has been developed f...

Few-layer graphene (FLG) has been predicted to exist in various crystallographic stacking sequences, which can strongly influence the material's electronic properties. We demonstrate an accurate and efficient method to characterize stacking order in FLG using the distinctive features of the Raman 2D-mode. Raman imaging allows us to visualize directly the spatial distribution of Bernal (ABA) and...

In this study, commercial-grade NiCr (80 wt % Ni, 20 wt % Cr) and NiCrSi (55 wt % Ni, 40 wt % Cr, 5 wt % Si) were used as targets and the sputtering method was used to deposit NiCr and NiCrSi thin films on Al₂O₃ and Si substrates at room temperature under different deposition time. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the NiCr and NiCrSi thin films were amorphous phase, and the field-effect s...
