From Copper Nanoparticles to Alumina Encapsulated Porous Layers With Enhanced Mechanical Stability

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study analyzes the synthesis‐structure relation of individual Cu nanoparticles and highly porous nanoparticle‐based Cu films using different sputtering‐based nanoparticle sources. The inherent mechanical instability of the films is tackled with Al2O3 encapsulation through atomic layer deposition, enabling 4‐fold increase in critical force in ...

Understanding Residential Sustainable Energy Behaviour and Policy Preferences [PDF]

, 2018
Energy production and use account for two-thirds of the world's greenhouse gas emissions (IEA, 2015), thereby contributing to global climate change (IPCC, 2014). Besides environmental problems, energy production and use pose societal challenges, including energy poverty and geopolitics of energy that threaten global security and prosperity.
