Materials Science & Engineering (MS&E) graduate student Chen Liu, along with former MS&E graduate student Dr. Zehao Cui, and their supervisor, Dr. Arumugam Manthiram, has published a paper that digs into the gasses released during Sodium-Ion Battery (SIB) use. Exploring a variety of possible causes and solutions, the researchers studied when and why gas forms inside SIBs.
Dr. Vaibhav Bahadur, a professor in Mechanical Engineering (ME) and an affiliate member of TMI, and ME graduate student Shanthanu Katakam, have developed a new method for designing and predicting performance of an emerging desalination technology: Osmotically Assisted Reserve Osmosis (OARO). OARO is an advanced version of well-known reverse osmosis (RO) technology, which uses membranes to separate fresh water from saline water.
Researchers from Dr. Brian Korgel's research group, including Chemical Engineering graduate student Shea Sanvordenker, have managed to create tiny, brightly glowing crystals at room temperature, in normal air, in just two minutes. Perovskite materials are notoriously unstable and often quickly degrade when exposed to air or moisture, but these crystals keep their structure and brightness for over six months, making them very stable.
