Research problems linked to this topic
- An important aspect of fuel-coolant interaction problems relative to various hypothetical LMFBR accidents is the fragmentation of molten oxide fuel on contact with sodium coolant.
- Suppressing oxygen release from lithium ion battery cathodes during heating is a critical issue for the improvement of the battery safety characteristics because oxygen can exothermically react with the flammable electrolyte and cause thermal runaway.
- Formation of steam-side oxide scale that can cause major failures in boilers is a large concern in fossil-fueled power plant operation.
- Lanthanum chromite (LaCrO3) is currently the most widely studied material as interconnector layers for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC).
- One of the important material problems for the spacecraft in the low earth orbit is a degradation of materials caused by atomic oxygen.
- Stoichiometric low loss tellurium oxide, TeO2, films have been produced by reactive RF sputtering.
- Fast and selective recognition of nitro explosives (NEs) is an emerging issue of interest.
- Nitrogen oxides (NOx) released in atmosphere by fuels combustion lead to photochemical smog and acidic rains and have negative effects on human`s nervous system.
- The future production of low enriched uranium nuclear fuel for test reactors requires a well-adhered diffusion barrier coating of zirconium (Zr) on the uranium/molybdenum (U-Mo) alloy fuel.
- Cr2O3 scales formed on ferritic steel interconnects in intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stacks have the problem of Cr-poisoning that can deteriorate cell performance.
- Thick films of LaCoO 3 perovskite and metal oxides (In, Bi and Pd) impregnated in LaCoO 3 have been used as sensor materials for sensing temperature and carbon monoxide gas.
- Nano-scaled cerium oxide (nCeO2) is used in a variety of applications, including use as a fuel additive, catalyst, and polishing agent, yet potential adverse health effects associated with nCeO2 exposure remain incompletely understood.
