Advanced electrolyte/electrode materials for electrochemical energy storage devices
02/04/2019
New materials hold the key to fundamental advances in energy conversion and storage, both of which are vital in order to meet the challenge of global warming and the finite nature of fossil fuels. Nanomaterials in particular offer unique properties or combinations of properties as electrodes and electrolytes in a range of energy devices. This review describes some recent developments in the discovery of nanoelectrolytes and nanoelectrodes for lithium batteries, fuel cells and supercapacitors. The advantages and disadvantages of the nanoscale in materials design for such devices are highlighted

Materials for hydrogen storage
21/05/2019
In the framework of the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) Action MP1103 Nanostructured Materials for Solid-State Hydrogen Storage were synthesized, characterized and modeled. This Action dealt with the state of the art of energy storage and set up a competitive and coordinated network capable to define new and unexplored ways for Solid State Hydrogen Storage by innovative and interdisciplinary research within the European Research Area. An important number of new compounds have been synthesized: metal hydrides, complex hydrides, metal halide ammines and amidoboranes. Tuning the structure from bulk to thin film, nanoparticles and nanoconfined composites improved the hydrogen sorption properties and opened the perspective to new technological applications. Direct imaging of the hydrogenation reactions and in situ measurements under operando conditions have been carried out in these studies. Computational screening methods allowed the prediction of suitable compounds for hydrogen storage and the modeling of the hydrogen sorption reactions on mono-, bi-, and three-dimensional systems. The workshop introduces to main applications of Solid State Hydrogen Storage and achievements of the developed research.

DUAL BEAM Focused ion beam: imaging and Lithography
Martedì 12 Marzo 2019 ore 15.30
Focused Ion Beam Nanofabrication (FIB) complements the overall nanofabrication process by providing various direct patterning or masking techniques. Direct milling, etching or deposition helps to simplify the nanofabrication process and minimize process development efforts. Resistless hard masking, ion implantation, and surface functionalization can be used for selectively modifying a material or directing a subsequent processing step, besides standard resist lithography. This workshop introduces to the various applications of FIB.

Scanning probe microscopy and lithography
Martedì 12 Marzo 2019 ore 14.30
In addition to its well-known capabilities in imaging and spectroscopy, scanning probe microscopy (SPM) has recently shown great potentials for patterning of material structures in nanoscales. It has drawn the attention of not only the scientific community, but also the industry. This workshop examines various applications of SPM in modification, deposition, removal, and manipulation of materials for nanoscale fabrication. The SPM-based nanofabrication involves two basic technologies: scanning tunneling microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Major techniques related to these two technologies are evaluated with emphasis on their abilities, efficiencies, and reliabilities to make nanostructures. The principle and specific approach underlying each technique are presented; the differences and uniqueness among these techniques are subsequently discussed. Finally, concluding remarks are provided where the strength and weakness of the techniques studied are summarized and the scopes for technology improvement and future research are recommended.
