Summary: Three different mixtures were developed as sealants for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), using natural volcanic rock basalt, waste window glass, and Na2CO3. The mixtures were melted and cast into molds, and the glass parts were analyzed to determine the coefficient of thermal expansion. Glass was then coated onto stainless steel substrates and subjected to heat treatment to ensure bonding and sealing. The interface between the glass-ceramic sealing and steel substrate, as well as the crystallization mechanisms, were examined to determine suitability for SOFC.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of solvents on the impregnation of nickel ions into ZIF-67 for the synthesis of cobaltites, and explores their impact on electrocatalytic behavior. Both methanol and ethanol can form nanocomposites, but methanol experiments result in the formation of NiCo2O4/C nanocomposites, while ethanol experiments lead to the additional crystalline phase of nickel oxide (NiCo2O4/NiO/C). The NiCo2O4/C nanocomposite shows higher catalytic performance at high current densities due to low electrode resistance.

Summary: This study investigates the electrochemical properties of composite electrodes of Ba2Co9O14/Ce0.8Gd0.2O2-delta (BCO/CGO) and finds that the composite with 50% vol CGO exhibits a significantly lower polarisation resistance at 600 degrees C. This is attributed to the increased triple-phase boundary length resulting from enhanced percolation of both phases. The findings present a high-performing oxygen electrode for solid oxide electrochemical systems.

Summary: This paper investigates the growth of molybdenum trioxide thin films on AISI 316 steel using the cathodic cage plasma deposition (CCPD) technique at low temperature. The study reveals that the films deposited under 50:50 and 80:20 gases composition crystallize in the orthorhombic phase without secondary phases, with thicknesses of 5 μm and 1 μm respectively. Vickers microhardness measurements show that low temperature plasma deposition maximizes the surface hardness of AISI 316 steel with excellent adhesion and plasticity.

Summary: In this study, a modified cathodic cage plasma deposition (CCPD) system was used to synthesize a Ti-Nb-C-N-based composite coating on AISI-4340 steel. The composite coating exhibits enhanced hardness and wear resistance due to its effective bioactivity. By inserting composite material rings on the lid of the cathodic cage, the novel CCPD system allows for the deposition of composite coatings. The results show that the modified CCPD system can improve the hardness and wear resistance of AISI-4340 steel by synthesizing the composite coating.

Summary: Plasma nitriding is widely used to improve material properties, but it often leads to nonuniformity. Cathodic cage plasma nitriding (CCPN) eliminates defects and a duplex treatment of CCPN and TiN deposition is used on SINTER30 tool steel for the first time. Vickers microhardness tests and other characterization methods show that TiN post-coating achieves higher surface hardness and all groups exhibit increased microhardness compared to untreated substrates. The prior plasma nitriding treatment enhances substrate surface hardening, and the best condition is simultaneous duplex treatment with the sample inside the titanium cage. Suitable TiN layers improve film adhesion, correlated to load-bearing capacity.

Summary: Surface treatment is a crucial technique for enhancing the adhesion between implants and bones, improving mechanical characteristics, and enhancing patient comfort. In this study, Ni-Cr alloys were examined and compared with thin films deposition using titanium nitride via plasma, cathodic cage, and hollow cathode methods for dental applications. The hollow cathode technique demonstrated better results due to the formation of a thicker film layer.
