Tailoring the degradation rate of magnesium through biomedical nano-porous titanate coatings (2020)
Journal Article
Wadge, M. D., McGuire, J., Hanby, B. V., Felfel, R. M., Ahmed, I., & Grant, D. M. (2021). Tailoring the degradation rate of magnesium through biomedical nano-porous titanate coatings. Journal of Magnesium and Alloys, 9(1), 336-350. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jma.2020.07.001

A novel approach was developed to reduce the corrosion rate of magnesium (Mg) metal, utilising titanate coatings. Magnetron sputtering was used to deposit ca. 500 nm titanium (Ti) coatings onto pure Mg discs, followed by hydrothermal conversion and i...

Residual Stress Measurement of Suspension HVOF-Sprayed Alumina Coating via a Hole-Drilling Method (2020)
Journal Article
Owoseni, T. A., Bai, M., Curry, N., Lester, E. H., Grant, D. M., & Hussain, T. (2020). Residual Stress Measurement of Suspension HVOF-Sprayed Alumina Coating via a Hole-Drilling Method. Journal of Thermal Spray Technology, 29(6), 1339–1350. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11666-020-01072-z

The nature and magnitude of residual stresses in thermal-sprayed coatings determine their lifetime and failure mechanisms. The residual stresses of suspension high-velocity oxy-fuel (SHVOF) thermal sprayed alumina (Al2O3) coating were measured with h...

Morphology and Defect Control of Metal Halide Perovskite Films for High-Performance Optoelectronics (2020)
Journal Article
Lei, L., Li, M., Grant, D. M., Yang, S., Yu, Y., Watts, J. A., & Amabilino, D. B. (2020). Morphology and Defect Control of Metal Halide Perovskite Films for High-Performance Optoelectronics. Chemistry of Materials, 32(14), 5958–5972. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.chemmater.0c00798

Delicate morphology and defect control are crucial for high-performance optoelectronics. For metal halide perovskites, antisolvent precipitation is the most common process to realize the control and develop the state-of-art devices. However, the solu...
