Magnesium is a material of considerable interest for electrochemical as well as thermal energy storage. Carbon coated magnesium or magnesium nanopartciles emebedded in a graphitic matrix could provide solutions to some of the problems currently faced in these application areas. The current study was undertaken to develop Mg-C composites at a variety of length scales. The synthesis was achieved by co-feeding magnesium and methane into an RF thermal plasma reactor. This yielded carbonaceous material with magnesium particles 5-10 nm in size embedded in graphitic matrix. A further reduction down to 2-3 nm was possible but required reductions in the precursor feed rate. It was found that 2 wt.% carbon was sufficient to fully protect magnesium particles of approx. 260 nm in size. Light milling, however, disrupts the continuity of graphitic envelop and the particles then react both with oxygen and hydrogen. The potential of carbon coated magnesium as electrodes in rechargeable batteries are discussed.

Carbon coating of magnesium particles Aktekin, Burak; Eyovge, Cavit; Öztürk, Tayfur (2017-10-05) Magnesium when hydrided has low thermal and electrical conductivity and carbon coating would be useful to remedy this for a variety of purposes. In this study, carbon coating was achieved by co-feeding magnesium and methane into a thermal plasma reactor. This yielded carbonaceous material with magnesium particles 5-10 nm in size embedded in graphitic matrix. A further reduction down to 2-3 nm was possible but required reductions in the precursor feed rate. 2 wt% carbon was sufficient to fully protect magnes...
DEVELOPMENT OF BORIDES/BORATES FOR ENERGY STORAGE DEVICES Bahtiyar, Doruk; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2022-9) For many years, materials in the form of metal sulfides, oxides, phosphates, and titanates have been developed as cathode and anode active materials to be used in energy storage devices. Borides and borates, recently, attracted the attention of researchers in this field. In this study, for the development of a new class of materials for energy storage applications, synthesis and characterization of metal (Fe, Mo, Mn, and V) borides and (Mn, and Y)borates were carried out. The obtained materials were tested ...
Thermal management of solid oxide fuel cells by flow arrangement Şen, Fırat; Tarı, İlker; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2012) Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is a device that converts the chemical energy of the fuel into the electricity by the chemical reactions at high temperatures (600-1000oC). Heat is also produced besides the electricity as a result of the electrochemical reactions. Heat produced in the electrochemical reactions causes the thermal stresses, which is one of the most important problems of the SOFC systems. Another important problem of SOFCs is the low fuel utilization ratio. In this study, the effect of the flow ar...
HARDENING NONLINEAR STIFFNESS BEHAVIOUR OF PIEZOELECTRIC MATERIALS WITH PASSIVE NONLINEAR P-N JUNCTION CAPACITANCE SHUNT CIRCUITS Taşkıran, Muhammed Ali; Özer, Mehmet Bülent; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2021-9-06) Piezoelectric materials are electromechanical energy transducers. They can be utilized actively when energized electrically or passively when connected to a passive shunt circuit. Due to this, they have been suggested for several vibrations suppression and energy harvesting applications. In this thesis, a novel way to attain passive hardening stiffness was suggested by introducing an electrical component for passive nonlinear piezoelectric vibration isolation or energy harvesting. Since piezoelectric materi...
Performance anallysis of an intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell Timurkutluk, Bora; Tarı, İlker; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007) An intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is developed and its performance is investigated experimentally and theoretically. In the experimental program, a gadolinium doped ceria based membrane electrode group is developed with the tape casting and screen printing methodology and characterized. An experimental setup is devised for the performance measurement of SOFCs and the performance of produced cells is investigated over a range of parameters including the electrolyte thickness, the sinte...
