γ and β radiation emitted from fission and activation products in the U$O_2$-fuel matrix decay to insignificant levels after 1000 years, leaving 𝛂 particles as the primary source of radiation. 𝛂 radiation induces 𝛂 radiolysis of water, a well-known key contributor to the oxidative dissolution of the U$O_2$-fuel matrix. Extensive studies have been conducted to investigate the effect of water...
Zinc and cadmium compounds are indispensable to critical sectors such as corrosion control, energy, and manufacturing. In applications ranging from coatings to battery electrodes and photovoltaic devices, the ability to precisely characterize different zinc and cadmium compounds is essential. This ability aids our understanding of changes in surface chemistry, surface mechanics, and material...
The growth of nanomaterials in a biphasic system is an intriguing physical diffusion process where two immiscible, or partially miscible, phases are used to disperse two distinct precursors that merge at the interface, leading to the directional growth of crystals. In our method for the synthesis of spirocyclic nanorods, an aqueous phase (containing hydroxylated molybdenum disulfide nanosheets...
Understanding of the effect of active layer morphology on the operation of photovoltaics is crucial to the development of higher efficiency devices. A particular parameter with a complex dependence on local environment is the mobility of photogenerated charge carriers, upon which carrier extraction is highly dependent, and therefore overall device performance. Bulk device photo-carrier...
