Abstract Scope |
The steel industry is categorized as one of the largest causes of carbon dioxide emissions. As the steel demand continues to increase, it is crucial to implement sustainable iron and steel manufacturing processes. Hydrogen based reduction techniques are promising alternatives to current iron and steel manufacturing that has the potential to decarbonize the iron and steel production. Multiscale investigation of hydrogen reduced polycrystalline and epitaxially grown iron oxide pulsed laser deposited films using SEM-EDS and XPS is conducted to study the effects of microstructure, grain size, and grain boundaries on the diffusion of the hydrogen and oxygen in the films. Elucidation of underlying mechanisms will help drive the efficiency of hydrogen based iron reduction and decarbonize the overall manufacturing process. |
