Battery: In-situ Fatigue
Supermaterials out of the microwave
Using non-conventional methods, Christina Birkel and her colleagues in the Department of Chemistry of the TU Darmstadt produce metallic ceramics and new materials for the energy supply of the future.
The microwave oven in the laboratory of Christina Birkel, junior research group leader at the TU Darmstadt, is not only larger and significantly more expensive than the usual household device, but also more powerful and fire and explosion-proof. Birkel had the turntable and its plastic support removed. “That would have melted anyway,” she says. The chemist uses the oven for the synthesis of substances that experts call MAX phases. M stands for a transition metal, for example for titanium or vanadium, A for a main group element – usually aluminium – and X for carbon, and more rarely also nitrogen. Thus far, approximately 70 members of this family are known.
“Around the turn of the millennium, research efforts in the field of MAX phases have increased significantly,” explains Birkel. No wonder, because the materials are scratch-resistant, high-temperature stable and in many cases oxidation-resistant like a ceramic, but they also conduct electricity and sometimes have extraordinary magnetic proper ties. They are therefore also referred to as metallic ceramics. Similarly to clay minerals, MAX phases have a lamellar structure of alternating A and M-X-M layers.

Calling this one done pretty soon. I’ll probably get a better photo of it when I get it in natural light. #art #illustration #illustrator #sketch #drawing #portrait #graphite #instaart #instaartist #instasketch #instagood #sketchbook #moth
