Thermoelectric Properties of Tetrahedrites Produced from Mixtures of Natural an...
Santos, Beatriz; Esperto, Luís; Figueira Vasques, Isabel; Mascarenhas, João; Lopes, E.B.; Salgueiro, Rute; Silva, Teresa; Correia, Jose B.ABSTRACT: Thermoelectric materials have considerable potential in the mitigation of the global energy crisis, through their ability to convert heat into electricity. This study aims to valorize natural resources, and potentially reduce production costs, by incorporating tetrahedrite-tennantite (td) ores from the Portuguese Iberian Pyrite Belt into synthetic samples. The ore samples were collected in a mine wast...
Starty explains START: Issue 1
Neves, Filipe; Mascarenhas, JoãoABSTRACT: Multilingual edition of the first storyboard with Starty, as main character. Starty is a friendly robot who loves to explore and learn new things, he loves the environment and the planet, is at ease with mines and excavators, and likes to spare energy and resources! In this first issue, Starty explains the concept of the START project in an readily comprehensible way.
Structural and Optical Characterization of Mechanochemically Synthesized CuSbS2...
Esperto, Luís; Figueira, Isabel; Mascarenhas, João; Silva, Teresa; Correia, J.B.; Neves, FilipeABSTRACT: The present work describes experimental studies related to the characterization of CuSbS2 directly synthesized after 2 h of mechanochemical synthesis (MCS) at 340 rpm, starting from mixtures of elemental powders. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy were carried out to analyze the crystal structure, degree of crystallinity, crystallite size and optical properties of the mechanochemicall...
Microwave versus Conventional Sintering of NiTi Alloys Processed by Mechanical ...
Teixeira, Rodolfo da Silva; Oliveira, R. V.; Rodrigues, Patricia Freitas; Mascarenhas, João; Neves, Filipe; Paula, Andersan dos SantosABSTRACT: The present study shows a comparison between two sintering processes, microwave and conventional sintering, for the manufacture of NiTi porous specimens starting from powder mixtures of nickel and titanium hydrogenation-dehydrogenation (HDH) milled by mechanical alloying for a short time (25 min). The samples were sintered at 850 degrees C for 15 min and 120 min, respectively. Both samples exhibited p...

Esperto, Luís; Figueira, Isabel; Mascarenhas, João; Silva, Teresa; Correia, J.B.; Neves, FilipeABSTRACT: One of the areas of research on materials for thin-film solar cells focuses on replacing In and Ga with more earth-abundant elements. In that respect, chalcostibite (CuSbS2) is being considered as a promising environmentally friendly and cost-effective photovoltaic absorber material. In the present work, single CuSbS2 phase was synthesized directly by a short-duration (2 h) mechanochemical-synthesis s...

Perovskite Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Structures for Interface Characterization
Cunha, J.M.V.; Barreiros, M. Alexandra; Curado, M.A.; Lopes, T.S.; Oliveira, K.; Oliveira, A.J.N.; Barbosa, J.R.S.; Vilanova, AntónioABSTRACT: Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are one of the most promising photovoltaic technologies. Amongst several challenges, developing and optimizing efficient electron transport layers that can be up-scaled still remains a massive task. Admittance measurements on metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) devices allow to better understand the optoelectronic properties of the interface between perovskite and the charge ...
