X-rays, a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths from 0.01 to 10 nanometers, pack enough energy to pierce materials and interact with inner-shell electrons. 1 When they hit a sample, ...

In this article, we present the results of the mineralogical quantification of airborne dust from an urban area located in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais in the vicinity of a gold mine. Three ...

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful non-destructive analytical technique used to evaluate crystalline materials and determine their structural properties. As one of the most widely used ...

Figure 2. Compilation of various literature reported dissolution rates of Mg(OH) 2 with respective particle sizes reported. There is no strong correlation between dissolution rate and particle size, ...

Regardless of the cathode chemistry, be it LFP or NCM-based, the majority of commercial batteries rely on graphite as their primary anode material. Battery-grade graphite can be sourced either ...

Several metal oxides have been studied and produced at the nanoscale due to their potential for application in several segments [1]. The development of these nanomaterials has expanded the ...

Isabella Mombrini, product specialist at Biologic, explains how lithium-ion batteries are not without their limitations and face various degradation mechanisms that can impact their performance and ...

Materials are made of tiny crystallites and non-crystallites; the former gives distinct patterns on interaction with X-rays, as the X-ray wavelength is identical to the inter-atomic spacing in ...

X-Ray diffraction (XRD) is one of the most important non-destructive techniques to determine the 3-D structure of all kinds of matter: fluids, powders, and crystals. X-rays have high energy and short ...

In this article, we explore how X-ray diffraction, also known as XRD, can be used to analyze thin films and the benefits of using this technique. Many materials are now processed in the form of thin ...
