    Abstract: Methods of preparing a mineral-coated rock micromodel can include 3D-printing a transparent porous micromodel with photo-curable polymer, seeding a thin layer of mineral nanoparticles in the network of pores inside the micromodel, and subsequently growing a mineral layer on the thin layer of mineral nanoparticles. The thin layer of mineral nanoparticles can be introduced by injecting a suspension containing the mineral nanoparticles through the microporous polymer micromodel, and the mineral layer can be grown in-situ on the thin layer of mineral nanoparticles in the network of pores by injecting an ion-rich solution configured to crystallize from solution in response to contacting the mineral nanoparticles.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for synthesis of submicron-scale or micron-scale single crystal cathode (SCC) material, such as NMC, using a feedstock and microwave plasma processing. Microwave plasma processing of these SCC materials provides a low cost, scalable approach. In some embodiments, advanced SCC materials may be synthesized through microwave plasma processing of feedstock materials, wherein the SCC materials may comprise at least 80% nickel. In some embodiments, the microwave plasma processing may enable synthesis of SCC materials with very short calcination.
