Summary: This paper investigates the performance of NiCoCrAlX (where X = Y, Ta, Hf, and/or Si) coatings fabricated by electrolytic codeposition process under high-temperature oxidation conditions. The experimental results show that the coatings with Hf and Si additions exhibit better oxidation resistance, while the addition of Ta does not improve the performance.

Summary: A new combination method for Mn2+ and NH4+-N removal from EMMR using washing and electrolytic oxidation processes has been studied in this research. The study found that under specific conditions, including a current density of 35 mA/cm(2), a sodium hypochlorite dosage of 2%, and a reaction time of 2 hours at 20 degrees Celsius, the concentrations of NH4+-N and Mn2+ were lower than the specified wastewater discharge standard. The main forms of Mn2+ removal were MnO2, Mn2O3, MnOOH, and Mn3O4, while NH4+-N was mainly oxidized to N-2.

Summary: Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is a novel surface treatment process used to produce thick, dense metal oxide coatings on light metals to improve their wear and corrosion resistance. The PEO process is widely employed in mechanical, petrochemical, and biomedical industries due to its superior characteristics. Recently, PEO process has also been utilized to produce nanocomposite coatings, showing promising developments in this field.

Summary: Novel cyclic oligosilanes with trimethylsilylmethyl and aryl groups at each silicon ring atom were synthesized. The study revealed that the use of different aryl groups significantly affected the ring size and stereoisomers of the cyclic oligosilanes, allowing for separation and identification. Additionally, the reactions yielded the sole stereoisomer products.

Summary: This study reveals the potential of electrolytic propylene oxidation for synthesizing propylene oxide through methods such as density functional theory. The research shows that propylene epoxidation is facile on weak-binding catalysts if reactive atomic oxygen preexists, and electrolytic epoxidation can provide atomic oxygen without overwhelming the epoxidation process with hydroperoxyl formation. Additionally, propylene dehydrogenation competes with the epoxidation process and may lead to the formation of side products.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of nickel addition on the plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) behavior of pure aluminum. The results show that the increase of nickel content leads to the coarsening of eutectic Al3Ni precipitates, which adversely affects the coatings produced.

Summary: This article reports the synthesis and characterization of a series of new, tunable phosphine oxide ligands, derivatives of a previously reported uranyl capture agent. The effects of electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups on the properties of the ligands were studied using electrochemical methods, and their extraction and back-extraction abilities for uranyl were investigated. The results showed that the substituents on the ligands significantly influenced their coordination properties.

Summary: This study investigated the surface modification of titanium using a plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process with different Mg-containing additives. The results showed that porous oxide layers were formed on the titanium surface, increasing the roughness. The presence of bioactive Ca, P, and bacteriostatic Mg in the oxide layer was confirmed. The PEO coatings exhibited bacteriostatic and fungistatic properties, making them potential implant materials for bone tissue.

Summary: A ZnO/Zn(OH)(2) hybrid coating was fabricated on pure Zn surface through plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) to investigate the effect of PEO treatment on the degradation behavior of Zn and Zn-based materials. The degradation effects were studied through immersion tests in simulated body fluid (SBF) and Hank's solution. The results showed that PEO treatment accelerates the degradation of Zn and the corrosion products mainly consist of Zn(OH)(2), ZnO, Zn-3(PO4)(2), and Ca-P matters. PEO-treated Zn exhibited good in vitro biocompatibility and enhanced antibacterial properties, making it promising for orthopedic implants.

Summary: The research presents a simple method for preparing black TiO2 coatings doped with Cu or Ni using the plasma electrolytic oxidation process, which can serve as anodes in urea-fueled fuel cells. The results demonstrate the electrocatalytic properties of the TiO2-based doped materials towards urea electrooxidation, with Cu-enhanced TiO2 showing activity for urea oxidation at a maximum current density of 130 mu A cm(-2) and Ni-enhanced TiO2 requiring only 0.742 V for a current density of 50 mu A cm(-2).

Summary: The present experimental work investigated the isothermal low cycle fatigue resistance of two well-known tool steels, AISI H11 and AISI H13, at different temperatures. It was found that at 550 degrees C fatigue and oxidation are the main driving mechanisms, with multiple crack nucleation observed at high temperatures.

Summary: The influences of factors on the performance and degradation of a flat-tube solid oxide electrolytic cell stack (SOEC stack) for CO2/H2O co-electrolysis under intermittent pulsed current were investigated. By inserting a voltage lead inside the stack, variations in cell and stack voltages were monitored during the electrolysis process. The study found that the average voltage degradation rate after 64 cycles was about 0.018%/cycle at a current density of 50-250 mA/cm2, and the expected useful life was more than 1100 cycles (10,000 hours). Microstructural analysis revealed the formation of a SrCrO4 barrier layer on the contact surface between the metal interconnect and the current collecting layer, leading to interface resistance and electrolytic performance degradation. This research provides valuable information for improving the stability of SOEC stack for CO2/H2O co-electrolysis.

These compounds are prepared through a series of reactions involving substituted pyrroles in one-pot, two-step oxidation, and intramolecular cyclization processes. The photophysical properties of the synthesized compounds are studied using UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy in various solvents. The introduction of pyrrolyl substituents has a significant impact on Stokes shifts and quantum yield values.
