Summary: MXene, a novel two-dimensional material, has great potential in the field of capacitors due to its large specific surface area, many active sites, and short ion transport paths. However, the unique two-dimensional structure is prone to collapse and accumulation, resulting in poor energy storage capacity. In this study, Ti3C2Tx/Ag/MWCNTs/Ag composites were successfully prepared to overcome the limitations. The composites exhibited good electrical conductivity, low internal resistance, and high capacitance contribution due to the synergy between Ti3C2Tx, Ag NPs, and MWCNTs.

Summary: This study focuses on manganese doped CdS thin films synthesized by chemical bath deposition. The incorporation of Mn2+ cations in CdS was found to influence the crystalline structure, morphology, and optoelectronic properties. Doped thin films exhibited a uniform hexagonal structure, changed growth orientation, and showed scale-like and needle-like morphologies. The bandgap and rectification speed of Schottky diodes were modified by introducing manganese. This study suggests the potential for affordable high-speed optoelectronic devices.

Summary: This study focuses on the corrosion characteristics of AA 7075 and AA 7075 based hybrid composite fabricated using stir casting and hot rolling techniques. The results show that the hybrid composite produced by hot cross rolling exhibits better corrosion resistance compared to the base metal. The addition of a small amount of graphite improves the bonding between the matrix and reinforcements, and the hot cross rolling enhances this bonding, leading to the formation of a strong passivation oxide layer and increased charge transfer resistance, thereby improving corrosion resistance.
