TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the oxygen flow rate (φ) during r.f. sputtering of molybdenum metal targets on the resulting MoOx thin films was analyzed.

TL;DR: Molybdenum oxide thin films find diverse applications as catalysts, gas sensors, and electrochromic devices as mentioned in this paper, and are produced mainly by reactive sputtering and thermal evaporation but other...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that vanadium pentoxide thin films produced by reactive dc magnetron sputtering have different electrochemical behavior in LiClO4-propylene carbonate solutions depending on the sputtering conditions which determine the film crystal structure.

TL;DR: The bending beam method for measurements of stress in thin films deposited on an elastic substrate in the form of a thin stripe has been improved by the introduction of a laser beam deflection system and of laser spot position detector as mentioned in this paper, which allows the detection of rapid reactions (like H diffusion in a Pd thin film) and of the electrostriction effect even in anodic films with thickness below 20 nm.

TL;DR: A closed-loop process with great potential to be scaled up to a recycling industrial plant of spent lithium-ion batteries and allows the resynthesis of LiCoO2 as a stoichiometric, well crystallized and structurally ordered compound from the recovered Co and Li compounds, in a closed- loop recycling process.
