Lithium (Li) metal is recognized as the “Holy Grail” in the energy storage field because of its
high specific capacity and ultralow anodic potential. To realize high-safety and high-energy …

In this review, we present an overview of significant developments in the field of in situ and
operando (ISO) X-ray imaging of solidification processes. The objective of this review is to …

Melt processing offers a cost effective method for producing metal matrix nanocomposite
(MMNC) components; however, the influence of nanoparticles on the evolving …

To better understand the influence of Fe-rich intermetallics on solidification defect formation,
fast in situ synchrotron X-ray tomographic microscopy experiments were performed on a …

The electrodeposition of metallic lithium is a major cause of failure in lithium batteries. The
3D microstructure of electrodeposited lithium 'moss' in liquid electrolytes has been …

The crystallization of solidifying Al-Cu alloys over a wide range of conditions was studied in
situ by synchrotron x-ray radiography, and the data were analyzed using a computer vision …

Abstract The A356-SiC and 6061-SiC composites were fabricated by the vacuum-assisted
high pressure die casting (HPDC) process. The distribution of SiC particles, 3D …

Water–rock interactions affect mineral inclusions and the pore structure of rock,
subsequently affecting its mechanical and seepage properties. A method for quantitative …

Hot tears can arise during the late part of alloy solidification because of the shrinkage of
isolated liquid as it turns to solid and may have a catastrophic effect on cast tensile …

The segregation and morphology of liquid channels at the last stage of solidification are
closely related to hot cracking formation. We use Phase-Field (PF) simulations to investigate …
