The inclusion of a thicker aluminium oxide layer in TOPCon solar cells could provide superior resistance to UVID, according ...

UNSW researchers developed an experimentally validated model linking UV-induced degradation in TOPCon solar cells to hydrogen transport, charge trapping, and permanent structural changes in the ...

The thermite process is a handy way to generate molten iron in the field. It’s the reaction between aluminium metal and iron oxide, which results in aluminium oxide and metallic iron. It’s hot enough ...

It is not uncommon for a Hackaday writer to trawl the comments section of a given article, looking for insights or to learn something new. Often, those with experience in various fields will share ...

With the unique properties of nanomaterials, such as having a high surface-to-volume ratio and a diverse morphology and structure, they have become a desirable material for different applications.

THE chromium–aluminium oxide catalyst system is one most commonly used in the aromatization of paraffinic hydrocarbons. In practice, mixtures containing up to 20 per cent chromium oxide are used, this ...

Metals may seem tough, but given enough time even plain old air can be their undoing. Oxygen reacts with it to form metal oxides like rust, but now it turns out a metal oxide may come to the rescue.

Russia began sourcing alumina from India following Ukraine war and Australian ban on aluminum exports. Rusal, Russia's major aluminum producer, acknowledges heavy reliance on imported alumina and ...

Researchers from the Ateneo de Manila University and the Nara Institute of Science and Technology made transparent aluminum oxide (TAlOx) by applying microdroplets of acidic solution onto ordinary ...
