Advanced Materials Interfaces began in 2014 as a forum for top-level research into interface and surface science. In this short time, it has already attracted many important, highly interdisciplinary contributions from recognized experts. To build on this and to...
Sweets for a Healthy Ozone Layer
Researchers from Mainz and Aschaffenburg use a sugary material to help save our depleted ozone layer.
Recent Battery Research: Because Knowledge is Power
Solid-state and calcium-ion technologies, new SEI concepts, and intercalation electrodes are at the top of the list for the latest advanced battery research.
Plasma Technique Improves Laser Sintering of 3D products
An international team of scientists conducted a comprehensive study of the usability of plasma treated PA12 powder in laser sintering for applications which require high hydrophilicity.
Technoeconomic Assessment of Hydrothermal Liquefaction Oil from Lignin
Lignin is a by-product of the Kraft pulping process and is typically burned for energy within the pulp and paper mill plant. Due to energy efficiency measures in Kraft pulp mills, its availability has recently greatly increased. This surplus lignin provides a readily available feedstock for conversion into a phenolic-rich bio-oil via hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL).
Doping for Performance Enhancement: Improved Photocatalysis
Excellent photocatalytic activity is realized after using an ion implanter to dope titanium oxide with carbon and nitrogen.
Big Data Approaches for Coastal Flood Risk Assessment and Emergency Response
Researchers have identify a series of ‘Big Data Approaches’ (BDAs) with the potential to shed new light on the complexities and challenges surrounding coastal flood risk management.
Building Better Bone (Repair)
Scientists search for better scaffolding to help in bone repair and regeneration.
Personal Mobility and Climate Change
An exploration of how travel can also be understood as something intimately connected to historic, economic and cultural influences.
Protonic Ceramics for Fuel Cells at Intermediate Temperatures
Protonic ceramic fuel cells operate in an intermediate temperature range (300–600 °C), avoiding the problems faced by other fuel cell types. Enhanced peak power densities have now been generated using a microstructured anode and a very thin electrolyte.
