Can ToF‑SIMS deliver standardless quantitative analysis when reference materials aren’t available?
Mangolini’s group has pioneered the first demonstration of absolute hydrogen quantification in polymers using ToF‑SIMS, without standards or sensitivity factors. The approach, called the Full Spectrum Method (FSM), moves beyond relying on a handful of “marker” secondary-ion fragments. Instead, FSM sums the intensities of all detected secondary ions that contain the element(s) of interest, helping to reduce matrix effects that can distort absolute quantification.
Alumni & Current Students of MS&E Program Lead on Collaborative Paper Showcasing New Way to Enhance Hydrogen Fuel Cells
Materials Science & Engineering alum Shanmukh Kutagulla and current student Patrick Carmichael are the lead authors on a new collaborative paper, out in ACS Nano, that presents a novel solution to problems that plague hydrogen fuel cells. Commonly used as an alternative to fossil fuels, hydrogen fuel cells currently have issues with hydrogen "leaking" through the membrane, lowering the efficiency and performance.
