Abstract In memory of John Stringer (1934–2014), one of the leaders in studying the reactive
element (RE) effects, this paper reviews the current status of understanding of the effect of …

A critical challenge for the commercialization of layer-structured nickel-rich lithium transition
metal oxide cathodes for battery applications is their capacity and voltage fading, which …

Sodium-ion batteries offer a low-cost sustainable alternative to current lithium-ion batteries
and can be made on the same manufacturing lines. The sustainability arises from the low …

Gas-turbine engines used in transportation, energy, and defense sectors rely on high-
temperature thermal-barrier coatings (TBCs) for improved efficiencies and power. The …

Grain boundaries are important structural components of polycrystalline materials used in
the vast majority of technical applications. Because grain boundaries form a continuous …

The major diffusion processes in α-Al2O3 have been reviewed, including oxygen and
aluminum lattice diffusion, Doxy and DAl, respectively; oxygen grain boundary diffusion, Db …

The high-temperature oxidation of alloys produces an oxide that grows laterally as well as
thickening with time. Constrained by the underlying alloy being oxidized, the lateral strain …

Oxidation of Al2O3 scale‐forming alloys is of immense technological significance and has
been a subject of much scientific inquiry for decades. The oxidation reaction is remarkably …

The mechanical loading of the thermal barrier coating (TBC)/thermally grown oxide
(TGO)/bond coat interface region is calculated for a TBC coated superalloy specimen using …

This study investigates the effect of Y, Hf and Y/Hf addition on oxidation behavior of
NiCoCrAl alloys at 1100° C. It is demonstrated that Hf is most effective in reducing the oxide …
