Summary: The phase relations in Cr3S4 and Cr3S4-xSex substituted system were investigated to understand the impact of chemical substitutions on thermoelectric properties. Besides the expected equilibrium phase, some samples exhibited a defect phase resembling Cr2S3 structure. The defect phase could be observed in a few unsintered samples, while most samples were phase-pure Cr3S4. However, in situ heating could introduce the defect phase in the phase-pure samples. The defect phase was found to lower the electrical and thermal conductivity, but increase the Seebeck coefficient. Substituting Cr3S4's anion lattice with Se could reduce the thermal conductivity, mainly by reducing the electronic contribution, resulting in a thermal conductivity as low as 1.6 Wm(-1) K-1 compared to the pristine material's 2.3 Wm(-1) K-1.

Summary: In this study, NixCo1-xFe2O4 ferrite nanoparticles with a single-domain structure were prepared and characterized. The size, density, lattice constant, and shape of the nanoparticles were investigated. The magnetic properties of the nanoparticles were also studied, and it was found that increasing the Ni content led to a decrease in magnetic properties such as saturation magnetization, remanent magnetization, and coercivity. The study revealed the existence of different magnetic behaviors in the ferrite nanoparticles with different Ni content and temperatures.

Summary: The microwave dielectric properties of beta-CaSiO3 glass-ceramics were found to be better than those of alpha-CaSiO3 ceramics. The higher Qf of beta-CaSiO3 can be attributed to the higher bond strength of Ca-O compared to the Si-O bond in alpha-CaSiO3 ceramics, as revealed by FT-IR analysis and Rietveld refinement.

Summary: Sodium-ion batteries have lower energy density compared to lithium-ion batteries, but utilizing oxygen redox reactions can increase the energy density at the cost of thermodynamic instability. Through a combined experimental and theoretical approach, the Na-2/3[Li1/8Mn5/8Ni2/8]O-2 compound is found to exhibit improved phase stability and rate performance compared to a binary oxide without Li substitution, making it a promising candidate for future advancements in SIB technology.

Summary: Thin films of (Ge1-xSnx)(8)Sb(2)Te(11) were prepared to investigate the effect of Sn-substitution on properties relevant for phase-change memory. It was found that Sn-substitution can decrease the crystallization temperature and impact the maximum crystallization rate. Ge(8)Sb(2)Te(11) is identified as a promising material for photonics applications due to its higher crystallization temperature compared to common phase-change materials.

Summary: An efficient method for phosphate removal from wastewater is urgently needed due to the environmental issue caused by excessive phosphorus. In this study, calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-LDHs) and six amino acid intercalated calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-amino acid-LDHs) were prepared and compared for their phosphate adsorption performance. L-Aspartic acid intercalated calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-Asp-LDHs) exhibited the highest phosphate adsorption capacity and faster removal rate compared to CaAl-LDHs. The phosphate adsorption mechanism on CaAl-Asp-LDHs involved electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonds, complexation, and ion exchange. This environmentally friendly material shows promising potential for efficient phosphate removal from aquatic environments.

Summary: Studying the diffusion properties of hydrogen is important for designing new proton conductors. In the past, the chemical diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in proton conductors was usually obtained through a manual calculation method, resulting in difficulty in controlling the calculation accuracy. To address this issue, a mathematical algorithm and C language computer program were developed to calculate the chemical diffusion coefficient based on Fick's second law and Romberg numerical integral. The algorithm showed high precision and powerful computing function, and has the potential to replace the manual calculation method in calculating the chemical diffusion coefficient for hydrogen in proton conductors.
