Tungsten Sputtering Targets and Applications

Tungsten is a chemical element with symbol W and atomic number 74. Tungsten is a rare metal found naturally on Earth almost exclusively combined with other elements in chemical compounds rather than alone.
Tungsten sputtering targets can be used in various applications like light bulb filaments, X-ray tubes, electrodes in gas tungsten arc welding, superalloys, and radiation shielding. Tungsten has high density and hardness and this make it useful for military applications in penetrating projectiles. Tungsten compounds are also often used as industrial catalysts.
Also there are different applications that you may use tungsten sputtering targets to obtain uniform films. Now let's have a look at a research done by using tungsten sputtering targets.
As all we may know there is an increasing interest in solid-state thermal-to-electricity energy conversion concepts, such as thermophotovoltaic (TPV), solar TPV, and solar-thermal energy conversion systems. This has led to new investigation and fabrication of refractory metal two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystals (PhCs). These nanostructured surfaces show good optical and mechanical properties at high temperatures and act as selective emitters to increase the efficiency of the thermophotovoltaic cell.
An integrated PhC thermophotovoltaic system would be advantageous with the properties of simplifying the system integration and increasing the fabrication simplicity. A tungsten coating could be used as a functional layer on different substrates and matched to the system’s needs, decoupling the requirements of the functional layer and the substrate.

Improving Dialysis Process with Graphene

Researchers from Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Departments of MIT recently showed that graphene is a powerful material candidate for use in the dialysis systems (such as hemodialysis machines in medical institutes for filtering human blood). In order to prepare graphene as a dialysis material, researchers used a procedure opposite to the general treatments that nanotechnology people use. Dialysis is a process of filtering different solutions such as human blood by a membrane in order to remove waste molecules, drugs, chemical residues from the solution. In some cases, the process can be used for purification of chemicals or isolation of different molecules for medical diagnosis. It is an essential process for scientists especially in the medical operations.

Graphene Oxide Dispersion

Graphene oxide refers to a mono-atomic layer material obtained when graphite crystals are oxidized. This is one of the graphene materials that are commercially available because of  its ability to dissolve in water  which makes the oxidation process suitable. In this article, we will talk about the  synthesis, the properties and some of the applications of graphene oxide dispersion in water . Seven Properties of Graphene Oxide Dispersion The properties of a material are defined through its structure, however, this material is very peculiar, since there is no unambiguous model of this material. Graphene Oxide dispersion offers remarkable physical, chemical and mechanical properties that give the opportunity to new applications. Graphene Oxide is amorphous , but, in general, graphene oxide can be described as a two-dimensional sheet containing honeycomb carbon atoms with functional groups of hydroxide and oxygen, unlike the graphene model that seeks to completely re...
