Potassium carbonate has recently been identified as a promising candidate for thermochemical energy storage. However, as for many salt hydrates, its reaction kinetics is relatively slow. KCO has a metastable zone, where the reaction is kinetically hindered, which limits the temperature operating window. This work aims to improve the material...

Effective monitoring of national circular economy policies requires consistent, national databases of material flows and environmental impacts. Yet, databases and indicators developed so far are scattered and inconsistent. To tackle this problem, Statistics Netherlands (CBS) developed a material flow monitor (MFM) that integrates existing...

The strategic relevance of extracting raw materials from waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) in the EU is increasing due to value chain risks caused by geopolitical instability, accessibility of specific minerals, and decreasing reserves due to growing extraction rates. This article examines the quantities of so-called critical...

Charge noise in the host semiconductor degrades the performance of spinqubits and poses an obstacle to control large quantumprocessors. However, it is challenging to engineer the heterogeneous material stack of gate-defined quantum dots to improve charge noise systematically. Here, we address the semiconductor-dielectric interface and the buried...

Composite materials are becoming more popular in the aerospace industry, because of their physical properties. In quality assurance and in-service inspection, there is a need for fast, non-contact, high-quality, non-destructive inspection techniques. The most common approach is to perform the inspection using water-coupled high-frequency...

The focal-plane contrast of exoplanet imagers is affected by non-common path aberrations (NCPAs) that the adaptive optics system cannot correct for because they occur after the wavefront has been measured. NCPA estimation is commonly based on the long-exposure science image. Phase retrieval algorithms are often used, and they mostly assume that...

Micro- and nanoscale information on the activating and deactivating coking behaviour of zeolite catalyst materials increases our current understanding of many industrially applied processes, such as the methanol-to-hydrocarbon (MTH) reaction. Atom probe tomography (APT) was used to reveal the link between framework and coke elemental...

Bitumen rejuvenators are used to improve or restore the physical and mechanical 12 performance of aged bitumen. Traditional bitumen rejuvenators have been a product of 13 crude‐oil. As crude‐oil production declines and the environmental and financial costs of 14 crude‐oil increase, there is an urgent need to identify more environmentally...

Conventional Molecular Dynamics (MD) models of bitumen are built by homogeneously mixing molecules in a volume without considering that the molecules in bitumen are known to exhibit phase behavior and form distinctive molecular arrangements. These are known to have a significant impact in the behavior of bitumen, and considering their existence...

Single junction crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells are reaching their practical efficiency limit whereas perovskite/c-Si tandem solar cells have achieved efficiencies above the theoretical limit of single junction c-Si solar cells. Next to low-thermal budget silicon heterojunction architecture, high-thermal budget carrier-selective...

The co-integration of spin, superconducting, and topological systems is emerging as an exciting pathway for scalable and high-fidelity quantum information technology. High-mobility planar germanium is a front-runner semiconductor for building quantum processors with spin-qubits, but progress with hybrid superconductor-semiconductor devices is...

In this study the quasi-static, low- and high-dynamic compressive properties, and ballistic resistance of two types of 3D printed concrete have been investigated and compared to normal strength cast concrete (NSC). For the printed materials, an unreinforced commercially available mortar and a PVA fiber-reinforced strain-hardening cementitious...

Mudstones from the Argiles de Châtillon Formation exposed in the Boulonnais region of Northern France represent a proximal lateral equivalent of the organic-rich Kimmeridge Clay Formation. The Argiles de Châtillon Formation is composed of two subunits that straddle the Kimmeridgian-Tithonian boundary. Each subunit contains an organic-rich...

A first-of-its-kind area-selective deposition process for SiO2 is developed consisting of film deposition with interleaved exposures to small molecule inhibitors (SMIs) and back-etch correction steps, within the same spatial atomic layer deposition (ALD) tool. The synergy of these aspects results in selective SiO2 deposition up to ˜23 nm with...

Practical Quantum computing hinges on the ability to control large numbers of qubits with high fidelity. Quantum dots define a promising platform due to their compatibility with semiconductor manufacturing. Moreover, highfidelity operations above 99.9% have been realized with individual qubits, though their performance has been limited to 98.67%...
