Solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs), a key technology for producing green hydrogen without carbon emissions, require a high-temperature "sintering" process to harden ceramic powders. Researchers at ...

Cold sintering presents a transformative approach to ceramic and composite fabrication, utilising markedly lower temperatures than conventional sintering methods. By employing either a transient ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Ceramics are an important class of materials with widespread applications in electronics and energy storage due to their high thermal, mechanical, and chemical stability.

Researchers at Idaho National Laboratory developed advanced ceramic fuel cells that boost hydrogen production efficiency and ...

For the first time, researchers have created a nanocomposite of ceramics and a two-dimensional material, opening the door for new designs of nanocomposites with such applications as solid-state ...

While the method of flash sintering can reduce the temperatures and time required to process ceramics in comparison with traditional methods, the technique often ...
