Transmission electron microscopy investigation of fuel cells related materials
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This dissertation will mainly deal with the TEM characterization on the fuel cell using a variety of different TEM techniques. The most of sample was prepared by site-specific lift-out technique using a focused ion beam (FIB). Subsequent TEM studies on these energy-related materials lead to have deep understanding of the relationship between the atomic scale structures with the other chemical/electronic properties. To provide a scientific establishment for break-out high-efficiency, cost-effective energy technologies, research activities have been focused on manipulation of materials at the nanometer scale to increase efficiency of energy conversion devices and exploitation of fundamental advances in charge transport, light absorption, and reaction thermodynamics and kinetics to improve performance and efficiency in energy conversion devices like fuel cell. To achieve these goals, we need to understand how nano-structuring modifies and governs the properties of materials, and how to control dimensionality and confinement to learn insights on model energy conversion materials, structures and devices. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) with additional advanced functions enables us to approach profound understanding of the fundamental relationship between chemical / electronic properties of materials and crystal structure, composition, size, shape of them through the characterization at atomic or nano/micro scale.
