Summary: High-purity and high-yield silver nanowires (AgNWs) were successfully synthesized using a modified polyol method with PVP as a capping agent. These luminescent AgNWs exhibited red emission and were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, SEM, XRD, and PL spectroscopy. The AgNWs were found to have lengths of 3.3 to 4.7 μm and a diameter of approximately 86 nm, making them a potential substitute for expensive ITO in flexible optoelectronics.

Summary: In this study, femtosecond laser post-processing was used to improve the silver nanowire transparent electrodes by achieving welding between nanowires. This led to a significant reduction in sheet resistance and an improvement in the figure of merit of the electrodes. The energy density of the laser had an impact on the welding efficiency, with excessively high energy density causing nanowire melting. Additionally, laser irradiation had little effect on the transmittance of the electrodes, and the number of effective pulses did not significantly affect the welding efficiency of the nanowires.

Summary: In this study, Al-doped ZnO (AZO) nanoparticles produced by magnetron sputtering were used to modify and coat the silver nanowires (AgNWs) network, resulting in the formation of ceramic/AgNWs@AZO-TCF. Compared to ceramic/AgNWs-TCF, ceramic/AgNWs@AZO-TCF exhibited reduced sheet resistance (from 53.2 to 19.3 ohm/sq), decreased resistance non-uniformity (from 18.0% to 7.0%), and improved inoxidizability, current-impact resistance, and failure voltage. Moreover, by sputtering a SiO2 layer on the surface of the ceramic substrate, the electrothermal efficiency of ceramic/AgNWs@AZO-TCF was significantly enhanced, enabling it to reach temperatures of 113.2 degrees Celsius under an applied voltage of 6 V, making it suitable for applications such as electrothermal-ceramic teacups (or tableware) for heat preservation and disinfection functions.

Summary: In this study, a porous Cu mesh was utilized as a current collector to investigate its morphological effect on supercapacitor performance. The porous surface was achieved through thermal annealing with ammonia gas. Hierarchically porous activated graphene (AG) was deposited on the P-Cu mesh, resulting in high specific capacitance and energy density due to efficient electric double-layer formation and charge transport.

Summary: Elemental powders of Al, Ti, Sc, and Zr are blended and processed via laser powder-bed fusion to create binary and ternary alloys. The microstructural analysis and mechanical testing show that the addition of Ti results in the formation of primary precipitates, while the addition of Sc and Zr leads to the formation of fine grain bands. The Al-0.25Ti-0.25Zr alloy exhibits comparable strain rates to Al-0.5Zr at low stresses, but significantly higher strain rates at higher stresses during compressive creep testing. Finite element modeling suggests that the connectivity of coarse and fine grain regions is a critical factor affecting the creep resistance of the alloys.

Summary: The limited slip systems of magnesium (Mg) and its alloys hinder their wide applications. By conducting tensile straining experiments, researchers discovered a rate-dependent transition in the dislocation mechanisms of Mg alloys. At high strain rates, glissile dislocations dominate, while easy-glide dislocations dominate at low strain rates. Abundant glissile dislocations do not necessarily improve ductility.

Summary: Inverse temperature dependences of the detwinning stress were observed in face-centered cubic deformation twins in Cu-8at.%Al alloy. The detwinning stress increased with temperature when the pi detwinning mode was involved, but decreased when the pi/3 mode was involved. The dual effect of temperature on the detwinning stress was due to the reduction of internal stresses pre-existing within the deformation twins. The complete reduction of internal stresses at about 530 degrees C led to the equivalence of the critical stresses of different detwinning modes and a decrease in the yield stress anisotropy of the twin/matrix structure.

Summary: The elastic-plastic transition in magnesium alloy Mg-4.5Zn exhibits bursts of deformation, which are characterized by sudden changes in grain orientation. These bursts occur in a coordinated manner among nearby grains, with the highest burst rate observed at the onset of full plasticity. The most significant burst events are associated with twinning, supported by the observation of twinned structures using electron microscopy. The bursts are often preceded and followed by a stasis in peak movement, indicating a certain "birth size" for twins upon formation and subsequent growth at a later stage.

Summary: A novel testing system for miniature specimens is designed to characterize the plastic response of materials for which conventional full-size specimens cannot be extracted. The system has an automated operation process, which reduces the damage to specimens caused by manual handling and improves the stability of the test results. The experiments show that the miniature specimens extracted from stainless steel and aluminum have high reproducibility, and the results are consistent with those of conventional-sized specimens. A correction procedure is provided to consider the influence of surface roughness and heat-affected zone caused by wire EDM.
