- Dielectric UV filters for protection of fire-resistant glass based on intumescent layersPublication . Silva, Ricardo Magno Lopes; Hashim, Hurraira; Roy, Deepto; Oliveira Fernandes, Carolina; Oliveira, Kevin; Leitão Pinheiro, Xavier Alexandre; Esteves, M. Alexandra; Capelo, Anabela; Donato, Mariana; Oliveira, Fernando; Ferreira, Cristina; Alves, Isabel N.; Cunha Diamantino, Teresa; Barreiros, Maria Alexandra; Rocha, Jorge; Passos Teixeira, Jennifer; Salomé, PedroABSTRACT: Structures such as OLEDs, perovskite solar cells, intumescent glasses, and other components in modern devices and buildings contain materials suscep-tible to degradation when exposed to UV radiation, requiring protection to with-stand outdoor environmental conditions. In this work, multilayer coating config-ured as a Bragg Reflector on glass is employed as spectral filtering to protect the intumescent component of fire-resistant glass from degradation due to prolonged UV solar radiation exposure. By alternating low-n (SiO2)/high-n (TiO2) dielectric layers through spin-coating, precise control over film thickness could be achieved, allowing the fabrication of thin (<700 nm) UV filters with high trans-mission of visible sunlight – 88% of the 780 to 380 nm wavelength range – while reflecting almost all the incident UV – 90% of the wavelength below 380nm. Using relatively simple techniques, high precision coating was successfully achieved, resulting in an effective UV radiation protective barrier applied to en-hance the durability of the components in fire-resistant glass.
- Li-ion Battery Recycling: A Summary ReviewPublication . Nogueira, Carlos; Neiva Correia, Maria Joana; Margarido, Fernanda; Plancha, Maria João; Pedrosa, Fátima; Gonçalves, Ana; Silva, Clara; Silva, SaraABSTRACT: A short review of battery recycling technologies is presented. Main components and materials of battery cells, modules and packs are identified, highlighting their compositions and contents. Main component of packs is aluminium, followed by the cathode materials, anode materials, copper and polymers. Safe discharge of the spent batteries is mandatory, and the subsequent dismantling allows separation and valorisation of the aluminium casings, electronic components, polymers and steel. The resulting cells or modules are pretreated by shearing and drying, and the solvent and evolving gases shall be safely treated and disposed. Physical separation operations, including secondary shredding, sieving, gravity separation, among others, are applied to separate the Al, Cu and polymer fragments from the electrode powders (black mass). Metallurgical processing, by hydro or pyrometallurgy, allows further recovery of the metals in pure forms, which are then sent back to the market. Nowadays, several hydrometallurgical processes are being introduced, allowing high recovery yields of the most important metals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel and manganese. By this way, a more sustainable management of the resources can be achieved.
- Protection of Steel Structures against Fire and Corrosion by Paint Coatings: A comparative studyPublication . Ferreira, Cristina; Gonçalves, Rita; Alves, Isabel N.; Vieira, Ana; Donato, Mariana; Morgado, Vanessa; Silva, Helena; Cristino, Ana Filipa Russo de Albuquerque; Nunes Soares, Tiago Diogo; Barreiros, Maria Alexandra; Cunha Diamantino, TeresaABSTRACT: Steel structural systems in modular construction must be protected against corrosion and fire exposure. The durability of both protective properties plays a key role in ensuring long-term service life and minimizing maintenance costs. The present work aims to validate anticorrosive protection systems for steel structures, with and without fire protection properties, evaluating degradation mechanisms and assessing the compatibility of intumescent layers with anticor-rosive coatings, in terms of their impact on corrosion resistance and fire protec-tion properties.
