The improvement of electrical energy storage (EES) devices such as batteries and electrochemical capacitors (ECs) is crucial to the widespread adoption of electric drive vehicles and the increased mobility of portable electronics. This research takes a unique approach to the improvement of EES devices through the investigation of a novel nanocomposite system to improve the performance of particle based electrodes. The majority of commercially available batteries and ECs have electrodes fabricated from a powder of fine particles (typically with particle sizes on the order of several µms). There is a severe lack of options for transforming these powders into usable electrodes. The traditional electrode fabrication method is to mix the active material powder with a polymer binder to form a sheet or film, which can then be implemented into the device. However, reliance on and incorporation of the polymer binder introduces several disadvantages and performance limitations. In this research, porous networks of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are investigated to replace the polymer binder in the fabrication of particle based electrodes for electrochemical devices. The multifunctional CNT networks provide the supporting structure and electron conduction pathways to create freestanding and flexible composite electrodes with high electrical conductivities (50 - 100+ S/cm). Two case studies were carried out to explore the properties and performance of the new electrode structure: 1) Activated carbon (aC) particle based electrodes for electrochemical capacitors and 2) Silicon (Si) particle based electrodes for lithium-ion batteries. Samples were fabricated and characterized with an emphasis on obtaining processing-structure-property relationships to guide further development of these unique nanocomposite materials. The aC-CNT electrodes showed specific capacitances of ~50 F/g (in 6M KOH) with less than 10% capacitance loss after 30,000 cycles; demonstrating the ability of the CNT networks to maintain structural integrity during operational conditions. Si-CNT electrodes had high coulombic efficiencies (> 90%) and initial reversible capacities of over 2000 mAh/g. Additionally, fundamental issues are addressed such as possible electrode failure mechanisms and the limits of particle weight fractions that are achievable. Knowledge of the maximum weight fraction of particles obtainable within the CNT networks is important to determine the feasibility of the electrodes for commercial use. A volume-fraction-limited phenomenon is proposed for the mechanism of the particle loading limit and discussed with supporting evidence.

▼ The use of minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) machining, i.e. drilling and tapping of aluminum and magnesium alloys using very low quantities of cutting fluids was studied and the MQL machining performance was compared to dry and conventional flooded conditions. An experimental drilling station with an MQL system was built to measure torque and thrust force responses. Uncoated and diamond- like carbon (DLC) coated HSS drills were tested against 319 Al and AZ91 alloys using 10-50 ml/h of distilled water (H2O-MQL) and a fatty acid based MQL agent (FA-MQL). The results indicated that H2O-MQL used in conjunction with non-hydrogenated DLC (NH-DLC) coatings reduced the average torque and thrust-force compared to dry cutting and achieved a performance comparable with conventional flooded drilling. At least 103 holes could be drilled using NH-DLC in H2O-MQL and uncoated HSS in FAMQL in drilling of both 319 Al and AZ91. MQL drilling and tapping provided a stable machining performance, which was evident from the uniform torque and force patterns and also resulted in desirable hole surface, thread quality and chip segments. The maximum temperature generated in the workpiece during MQL machining was lower than that observed in dry drilling and tapping, and comparable to flooded conditions. The mechanical properties of the material adjacent to drilled holes, as evaluated through plastic strain and hardness measurements, revealed a notable softening in case of dry drilling, with magnesium alloys exhibiting a recrystallized grain zone, but not for MQL drilling. Softened aluminum and magnesium promoted adhesion to the tools resulted built-up edge formation and consequently high torques and thrust-forces were generated. NH-DLC coatings low COF in H2O-MQL against 319 Al (0.10) and AZ91 (0.12) compared to uncoated HSS (0.63 and 0.65) limited the temperature increase during NHDLC in H2O-MQL drilling and hence both torques and thrust forces were effectively reduced.

▼ The conversion efficiency of conventional silicon (Si) photovoltaic cells has not been improved significantly during last two decades but their cost decreased dramatically during this time. However, the higher price-per-watt of solar cells is still the main bottleneck in their widespread use for power generation. Therefore, new materials need to be explored for the fabrication of solar cells potentially with lower cost and higher efficiency. The n-type zinc oxide (n-ZnO) and p-type Si (p-Si) based single heterojunction solar cell (SHJSC) is one of the several attempts to replace conventional Si single homojunction solar cell technology. There are three inadequacies in the literature related to n-ZnO/p-Si SHJSC: (1) a detailed theoretical analysis to evaluate potential of the solar cell structure, (2) inconsistencies in the reported value of open circuit voltage (VOC) of the solar cell, and (3) lower value of experimentally achieved VOC as compared to theoretical prediction based on band-bending between n-ZnO and p-Si. Furthermore, the scientific community lacks consensus on the optimum growth parameters of ZnO. In this dissertation, I present simulation and experimental results related to n-ZnO/p-Si SHJSC to fill the gaps mentioned above. Modeling and simulation of the solar cell structure are performed using PC1D and AFORS-HET software taking practical constraints into account to explore the potential of the structure. Also, unnoticed benefits of ZnO in solar cells such as an additional antireflection (AR) effect and low temperature deposition are highlighted. The growth parameters of ZnO using metal organic chemical vapor deposition and sputtering are optimized. The structural, optical, and electrical characterization of ZnO thin films grown on sapphire and Si substrates is performed. Several n-ZnO/p-Si SHJSC devices are fabricated to confirm the repeatability of the VOC. Moreover, the AR effect of ZnO while working as an n-type layer is experimentally verified. The spatial analysis for thickness uniformity and optical quality of ZnO films is carried out. These properties turn out to play a fundamental role in device performance and so far have been overlooked by the research community. Three different materials are used as a quantum buffer layer at the interface of ZnO and Si to suppress the interface states and improve the VOC. The best measured value of VOC of 359 mV is achieved using amorphous-ZnO (a-ZnO) as the buffer layer at the interface. Finally, supplementary simulations are performed to optimize the valence-band and conduction-band offsets by engineering the bandgap and electron affinity of ZnO. After we published our initial results related to the feasibility of n-ZnO/p-Si SHJSC [Sol. Energ. Mat. Sol. Cells 139 (2015) 95–100], different research groups have fabricated and reported the solar cell performance with the best efficiency of 7.1% demonstrated very recently by Pietruszka et al. [Sol. Energ. Mat. Sol. Cells 147 (2016) 164–170]. We conclude that major challenge…

▼ Vertical integration of van der Waals (vdW) materials into heterostructures with atomic precision is one of the most intriguing possibilities brought forward by these 2-dimensional (2D) materials. Essential to the design and analysis of these structures is a fundamental understanding of the vertical transport of charge carriers into and across vdW materials. In this dissertation, I explore the important roles of single layer graphene in the vertical tunneling process, both as a collecting electrode and as a vdW tunneling barrier, and explore graphene’s application as the base material of hot electron transistors (HETs).When graphene comes into contact with highly doped silicon, a fully preserved vdW gap is formed at the interface, which acts effectively as a tunnel barrier. In the scenario where graphene acts as the collecting electrodes, the electrons injected from the highly doped silicon are captured by graphene, and propagate laterally through graphene. Using electron tunneling spectroscopy (ETS), it is shown that this process is limited by the relaxation of carriers into the linear density of states of graphene.When graphene is sandwiched between two electrodes, the graphene layer together with the vdW gap act as a tunnel barrier that is transparent to the vertically tunneling electrons due to its atomic thickness and the mismatch of transverse momenta between the injected electrons and the graphene band structure. This is accentuated from the ETS showing a lack of features corresponding to the Dirac cone band structure of the graphene. Meanwhile, the graphene acts as a lateral conductor through which the potential and charge distribution across the tunnel barrier can be tuned. These unique properties make graphene an excellent 2D atomic net, which is transparent to charge carriers, and yet it can control the carrier flux via electrical potential at the same time. A new model including the effect of the quantum capacitance of the graphene for vertical tunneling is developed to further elucidate the role of graphene in modulating the tunneling process. As a result of the unique vertical transport properties of graphene, hot electron transistors with graphene as the base material and the vdW gap as the tunnel barrier can be fabricated, eliminating the need for an additional tunnel barrier. This leads to significantly increased current densities, as well as minimized energy loss for the hot electrons in the tunnel barrier, which in turn leads to lower turn on voltages and higher current gain, compared to previous reports of graphene based HETs.

▼ There is probably no class of materials more varied, more widely used, or more ubiquitous than metal oxides. Depending on their composition, metal oxides can exhibit almost any number of properties. Of particular interest are the ways in which charge is transported in metal oxides: devices such as displays, touch screens, and smart windows rely on the ability of certain metal oxides to conduct electricity while maintaining visible transparency. Smart windows, fuel cells, and other electrochemical devices additionally rely on efficient transport of ionic charge in and around metal oxides. Colloidal synthesis has enabled metal oxide nanocrystals to emerge as a relatively new but highly tunable class of materials. Certain metal oxide nanocrystals, particularly highly doped metal oxides, have been enjoying rapid development in the last decade. As in myriad other materials systems, structure dictates the properties of metal oxide nanocrystals, but a full understanding of how nanocrystal synthesis, the processing of nanocrystal-based materials, and the structure of nanocrystals relate to the resulting properties of nanocrystal-based materials is still nascent. Gaining a fundamental understanding of and control over these structure-property relationships is crucial to developing a holistic understanding of metal oxide nanocrystals. The unique ability to tune metal oxide nanocrystals by changing composition through the introduction of dopants or by changing size and shape affords a way to study the interplay between structure, processing, and properties.This overall goal of this work is to chemically synthesize colloidal metal oxide nanocrystals, process them into useful materials, characterize charge transport in materials based on colloidal metal oxide nanocrystals, and develop ways to manipulate charge transport. In particular, this dissertation characterizes how the charge transport properties of metal oxide nanocrystal-based materials depend on their processing and structure. Charge transport can obviously be taken to mean the conduction of electrons, but it also refers to the motion of ions, such as lithium ions and protons. In many cases, the transport of ions is married to the motion of electrons as well, either through an external electrical circuit, or within the same material in the case of mixed ionic electronic conductors. The collective motion of electrons over short length scales, that is, within single nanocrystals, is also a subject of study as it pertains to plasmonic nanocrystals. Finally, charge transport can also be coupled to or result from the formation of defects in metal oxides. All of these modes of charge transport in metal oxides gain further complexity when considered in nanocrystalline systems, where the introduction of numerous surfaces can change the character of charge transport relative to bulk systems, providing opportunities to exploit new physical phenomena.Part I of this dissertation explores the combination of electronic and ionic transport in electrochromic devices based on…

▼ With the slow-down of Moore’s law of scaling transistors, the industry is looking for 3D IC technology to extend the Moore’s law by stacking chips vertically. In the 3D IC technology, Joule heating is the most serious reliability concern because of increased power density. Moreover, there are new interconnects in the package to support vertical stacking, including the Through Silicon Via (TSV) inside silicon die, μ-bumps between different dies, and redistribution layer (RDL) to fan out the current between μ-bumps and TSVs, and between TSV and flip chip solder joints. Thus, how does joule heating affect the reliability of the new interconnects is of most interest. In this thesis, we applied the electromigration test to induce joule heating in our packaging system, and studied the weak link of the 3D IC system first. It is found that the redistribution layer is the weak link and failed by burn-out voids. The failure mode is evaluated by finite element analysis and found to be joule heating enhanced electromigration. Then, we optimized the redistribution design in the power delivery system to reduce the thermal effect and minimize the IR drop (covered in Chapter 3). It is found that an optimal power distribution system requires larger TSVs integrated at the super fat capture levels (RDL), rather than small TSVs captured at the lower levels. We further evaluated the electromigration resistance of optimized RDL and found that fat wire can pump more current but the surface treatment of Cu RDL limits the maximized current. In Chapter 4, we found that the lateral joule heating transfer through Si interposer will induce high enough temperature gradient inside the un-powered microbumps next to the powered microbumps, and fail the un-powered microbumps by thermomigration. The heat transfer creates a large temperature gradient, in the order of 1000 ᵒC/cm, through the un-powered microbumps in the neighboring chip, so the microbumps failed by thermomigration. In our test structure, we have found other microbumps which were failed by electromigraion as well as by constant temperature annealing. We used synchrotron radiation tomography to compare the failure in these three kinds of microbumps: microbumps under electromigration, microbumps under thermomigration, and microbumps under a constant temperature thermal annealing. The results show that the microbumps under thermomigration have the largest damage. Our calculations showed that indeed the electromigration and thermomigration driving force are in the same order. The latter induced atomic flux of Sn to go from the cold end to the hot end, resulting in depletion and void formation at the cold end. Furthermore, the temperature gradient tends to enhance sidewall surface diffusion of Sn to react with Ni and Cu. This sidewall surface diffusion of Sn can cause significant void formation in the solder layer in the microbumps.

▼ Bioinspiration (also known as bioinspired design) utilizes engineering and science to take lessons from nature and employ them to advanced materials and techniques to create designs that can bring benefit to society. One such bioinspired process is that of freeze casting. This process mimics the templating fabrication method used by many biological composites where a template of a biopolymer will form and direct the deposition of biomineral. Similarly, freeze casting uses a template of growing ice crystals to form and direct the formation of a porous ceramic scaffold. The true advantage of the freeze casting process is the ability to alter the final material’s microstructure with relatively simple alterations to the processing conditions and parameters. Here these alterations and methods of controlling the final material structure are suggested to be grouped as either intrinsic control methods, those working within the freeze casting process that affect the chemistry and/or freezing dynamics, or extrinsic control methods, those working on the freeze casting process though outside forces. This dissertation describes examples of each intrinsic and extrinsic control of the freeze casting process. Intrinsic control was demonstrated through the use of chemical additives (ethanol, isopropanol, n-propanol and n-butanol) that induced enlarged structures through the formation of clathrate hydrates and hydrophobic hydration. These structures were shown to be the cause of enlarged porosity in the final scaffolds. Bioinspired, two-phase polymer-ceramic composites created from these scaffolds were shown to have increased strength over both the infiltrating polymeric phase and the uninfiltrated scaffolds due to a resistance to the primary ceramic failure mode of buckling. Extrinsic control was demonstrated through the use of sacrificial 3D printed templates that created bone-like materials with porosity at multiple length scales. These materials were shown to be biocompatible and cell viable for use as biomedical implants. Finally, while control of these structures is impressive, it was shown through statistical analyses that there is significant variability in the final microstructures and mechanical properties of materials created through freeze casting. Therefore, while the technique holds great promise, additional research is required to mass produce similar materials for biomedical and commercial applications.

▼ This study investigates the use of surfactants and metal cations for the enhancement of long range fluorescent resonant energy transfer (FRET) and the antenna effect in DNA structures with multiple fluorescent dyes. Double-stranded (ds) DNA structures were formed by hybridization of 21mer DNA oligonucleotides with different arrangements of three fluorescent TAMRA donor dyes with two different complementary 21mer oligonucleotides with one fluorescent TexasRed acceptor dye. In such DNA structures, hydrophobic interactions between the fluorescent dyes in close proximity produces dimerization which along with other quenching mechanisms leads to significant reduction of fluorescent emission properties. Addition of the surfactants Triton X-100, cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) along with sodium cations (Na+) and divalent magnesium cations (Mg2+) were tested for their ability to reduce quenching of the fluorescent dyes and improve overall fluorescent emission, the long range FRET and the antenna effect properties. When the neutral (uncharged) surfactant Triton X-100 was added to the FRET ds-DNA hybrid structures with three TAMRA donors and one TexasRed acceptor, dye dimerization and emission quenching remained unaffected. However, for the positively charged CTAB surfactant at concentrations of 100 uM or higher, the neutralization of the negatively charged ds-DNA backbone by the cationic surfactant micelles was found to reduce TAMRA dye dimerization and emission quenching and improve TexasRed quantum yield, resulting in much higher FRET efficienies and an enhaced antenna effect. This improvement is likely due to the CTAB molecules covering or sheathing the fluorescent donor and acceptor dyes which breaks up the dimerized dye complexes and prevents further quenching from interactions with water molecules and guanine bases in the DNA structure . While the negatively charged SDS surfactant alone was not able to reduce dimerization and emission quenching due to repulsive forces between DNA and SDS micelles, the addition of cations such as sodium ions (Na+) and divalent magnesium ions (Mg2+) did lead to a significant reduction in the dimerization and emission quenching resulting in much higher FRET efficiency and an enhanced antenna effect. It appears that when the repulsive electrostatic forces are screened by the cations (Mg2+ in particular), the SDS micelles can approach the FRET ds-DNA structures thereby sheathing or insulating the TAMRA and TexasRed dyes. Overall, the study provides a viable strategy for using combinations of surfactants and cations to reduce adverse fluorescnt dye and other quenching mechanisms and improve the overall long distance FRET efficiency and the antenna effect in DNA structures with multi-donor and single acceptor fluorescent dye groups.

▼ Flash sintering of ZnO, TiO2 and a few other oxide systems has been investigated. A quantitative model has been developed to forecast the thermal runaway conditions. The predicted thermal runaway temperatures from the measured conductivities are in excellent agreements with the observed onset flash temperatures for at least 15 cases with different base materials, doping and surface treatments, particle sizes, and sintering atmospheres, attesting that the “flash” starts as a thermal runaway. Specifically, using ZnO as a model system, a strong dependence of the onset flash sintering temperature on the atmosphere has been discovered. In a set of optimized conditions, ZnO specimens have been sintered to >97% relative densities in ~30 s at furnace temperatures of <120 °C in Ar + 5 mol. % H2, with uniform microstructures and fine grain sizes of ~1 um. The enhanced conductivities of ZnO powder specimens in reduced atmospheres are responsible for the substantial decreases of the onset flash sintering temperatures. More recently, we have investigated the effects of joule heating and high heating ramp rate on fast densification in flash sintering of ZnO, as well as the electrical field/current effects on densification and microstructural developments. Mimic heating profile in flash sintering by rapid thermal annealing (RTA), which excludes the electric filed effects and has the similar heating ramp rate as flash sintering up to 200 °C per second. The specimens after RTA at similar estimated temperature as flash sintering could reach almost the same density and grain size. Observation of an unusual case of triple-line wetting by a gas phase is another project I involved during my graduate study. The Bi vapor penetrates along the triple lines in the electrodeposited Ni to form open channels at 800 and 900 °C. This is interpreted as a case of triple-line wetting by a gas phase, which has never been reported before. This unusual wetting phenomenon is related to the formation of a bilayer complexion and grain boundary embrittlement in the Ni-Bi system [Science 333: 1730 (2011)]. Further controlled experiments using high-purity Ni specimens with and without S doping suggest that the presence of S impurities is essential for the occurrence of this wetting phenomenon. This discovery has practical importance for understanding and controlling the microstructural stability and corrosion resistance.

▼ Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is believed to be one of the most promising alternatives to non-renewable fossil fuels for energy crisis, environmental protection and sustainable development. To further increase the energy and power densities of LIBs, nanostructured silicon and its nanocomposites were synthesized to achieve high-capacity, environmentally benign, and highly scalable candidates for the next generations of Li-Ion anodes. Herein, four distinct silicon-based nanostructures were synthesized and thoroughly characterized including silicon-carbon fabrics, nano-silicon from unrecycled glass bottles (gSi), conducting hydrogel coated silicon nanocomposites, and graphene wrapped conducting polymer-silicon hybrid structure. The electrochemical properties of silicon based nanomaterials were characterized in terms of cyclic voltammetry (CV), long-term capacity stability, rate capability and potentiostatic electrochemical impdedance spectroscopy (PEIS), and galvanostatic charge-discharge curves. Highly flexible and free-standing silicon-carbon (Si/C) fabrics are synthesized via simultaneous double-nozzle electrospinning. The binderless and current collector-free fabrics are used as Li-ion anodes with an overall capacity of ~1000 mAh g-1. 92 % capacity retention after 100 cycles coupled with the excellent rate capability up to 9.3 A g-1 demonstrate its superior flexibility over the conventional electrodes. A conversion from potential glass waste into high-purity nano-silicon is synthesized by a surface protected magnesiothermic reduction. Carbon-coated glass derived-silicon ([email protected]) anodes demonstrate excellent electrochemical performance with a capacity of ~1420 mAh g-1 at C/2 after 400 cycles. Full cells are assembled using [email protected] anodes and LiCoO2 cathodes, and achieve good cycling stability with high energy density.Conducting hydrogels are formed to coat Si surfaces via an in-situ polymerization process. Functional groups from hydrogels chemically improve the adhesion of conducting coatings on Si surface, rendering the Si-hydrogel hybrid structure without resistive binders and carbon black. It is observed that the degree of enhancing the cycling stability and rate capability of the conductive hydrogels decrease in the order of polypyrrole (PPy) > polyaniline (PANI) > poly(acrylic acid) (PAA). Silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) are coated with polypyrrole-hydrogel and wrapped with reduced graphene oxide sheets (rGO) via an environmentally benign and scalable sol-gel process. The PPy/SiNPs/rGO electrodes can produce highly reversible capacities of 1312, 1285 and 1066 mAh g-1 at 100, 250 and 500 cycles at a high current density of 2.1 A g-1, respectively.

▼ The research interests of two-dimensional (2D) materials have been explosively increased since the realization of unexpected single layer graphene in 2004. Leading by graphene, these decade-old materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have been extensively re-investigated due to their unique materials properties emanating from the 2D morphology. It is worth noting that all the exceptional intrinsic properties only present in the single-layered fashion, while the most significant challenge of scaling up these 2D materials in solution processing is aggregation that largely sacrifices the intrinsic properties. In this dissertation, I will discuss the unique marriage between new physical understanding of the decades-old electrohydrodynamic (EHD) deposition and insights into exfoliation chemistry as the unprecedented and yet holistic approach to address long-standing challenges in synthesizing, and isolating graphene and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) from bulk precursors into hierarchically structured functional composites with preserved and even enhanced materials properties, especially those relevant to energy applications, including surface area, conductivity, structural integrity and catalytic activity. Here, the specialties of crumpled graphene nanostructures (CGN) were examined by integration into a photoelectrochemical cell. Compared to pristine TiO2 electrode, the combination of TiO2 and CGN electrode drastically boosted up the short circuit current by 200% and an improved fill factor of 15%, indicating that CGN could act as a current conductor. Another example was the crumpled molybdenum disulfide (c-MoS2) as a catalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). After dimensional transition, it not only preserved the intrinsic properties result from lithium interaction, such as metallic phase and abundant sulfur defects, but also generated permanent strain at the basal plane that leads to increasing number of active sites density, and thus leading to the superior metrics of both total electrode and intrinsic properties. Moreover, the processing temperature was at nearly room temperature compared to other processes, which required extreme processing conditions, and thus make it be beneficial to the large-scale production. This work represents a well-defined material science paradigm: the performance of a material depends on its properties, which in turn are a function of structures; furthermore, structures are determined by how the material was processed.
