Al-Cu-Ga-In-Sn alloys with different Cu contents are produced by smelting and casting, and the influence of copper on the water-aluminum reaction is studied. The microstructure of the alloys is examined by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. Water discharge method is used to measure the hydrogen volume produced by the water-aluminum reaction. The results show that copper hinders the reaction mainly due to the formation of Al2Cu. These phases precipitated at the aluminum grain boundaries not only affect the formation and distribution of the low melting point Ga-In-Sn phase, but also cut off the direct contact between the aluminum matrix grain and the Ga-In-Sn phase of the interface, which results in the decrease of the reaction rate and the H-2 yield of the alloy.

Effect of Al addition and heat treatment on the microstructures and corrosion resistance of Mg-Cu alloys

X. W. Wang, W. Wang, W. Chen, D. M. Chen

Summary: The study investigated the effects of Al content and annealing condition on the microstructures and corrosion performances of Mg-3 wt.%Cu-x Al alloys. Al-bearing alloys exhibit MgAlCu and Mg17Al12 phases with higher Volta potential, and the volume fractions of Cu-bearing phases are influenced by Al content and annealing condition. The corrosion performances of alloys can be controlled by adjusting Al content and annealing conditions, as indicated by the relationship between weight loss rate and Cu-bearing phase volume fractions.

Engineering heterogeneous synergistic interface and multifunctional cobalt-iron site enabling high-performance oxygen evolution reaction

Ren-Ni Luan, Na Xu, Chao-Ran Li, Zhi-Jie Zhang, Yu-Sheng Zhang, Jun Nan, Shu-Tao Wang, Yong-Ming Chai, Bin Dong

Summary: Extensive research has revealed that oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline conditions involves dynamic surface restructuring. The development and design of sulfide/oxide pre-catalysts can reasonably adjust the composition and structure after surface reconstruction, which is crucial for OER. This study utilized a simple two-step hydrothermal method to achieve in situ S leaching and doping, inducing the composition change and structure reconstruction of CoFe oxides. The transformed FeOOH and CoOOH exhibited excellent OER activity and could be easily mass-produced using low-cost iron based materials and simple methods.

Highly efficiency blue emissive from Bi3+ions in zero-dimensional organic bismuth halide for white LED applications

Jun'an Lai, Daofu Wu, Peng He, Kang An, Yijia Wang, Peng Feng, WeiWei Chen, Zixian Wang, Linfeng Guo, Xiaosheng Tang

Summary: Zero-dimensional organic-inorganic metal halides (OMHs) are gaining attention in the fabrication of light-emitting diodes due to their broad emission band and high photoluminescence quantum yield. This work synthesized a zero-dimensional organic tetraphenylphosphonium bismuth chloride (TBC) that showed efficient blue light emission, with the emission mechanism attributed to the transition of Bi3+ ions. White light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) were fabricated using TBC, along with green-emitting and red-emitting single crystals, achieving single-component white emissions. These findings demonstrate the different emission mechanism of ns2 ions-based OMHs and highlight the potential of bismuth-based OMHs in WLEDs applications.

Study on the wear resistance and mechanism of AlCrCuFe2NiTix high-entropy surfacing alloys

Xuewei Liang, Yunhai Su, Taisen Yang, Zhiyong Dai, Yingdi Wang, Xingping Yong

Summary: The revolutionary design concept of high-entropy alloys has brought new opportunities and challenges to the development of advanced metal materials. In this work, AlCrCuFe2NiTix high-entropy flux cored wires were prepared by combining the design idea of a high-entropy alloy with the characteristics of flux cored wire. AlCr-CuFe2NiTix high-entropy surfacing alloys were prepared using gas metal arc welding technology. The wear properties of the alloys were analyzed, and the phase composition, microstructure, strengthening mechanism, and wear mechanism were discussed. The results show that the alloys exhibit a dendritic microstructure with BCC/B2 + FCC phases. Increasing Ti content leads to the precipitation of Laves phase. The alloys show improved microhardness and wear resistance due to the precipitation of coherent B2 and Laves phases. However, excessive Ti addition results in the increase of Laves phase and reduced wear resistance of the alloys.

Characterization of magnetic FeCo particles with controlled bimetallic composition

Chong Zhang, Yan Liu, Zhaoyan Wang, Hang Yang

Summary: In this study, six bimetallic FeCo particles were synthesized via the hydrothermal method at different Fe:Co ratios. The Fe:Co ratio not only modulates the composition of the particles but also influences their structure and magnetic properties. The FeCo alloys showed a transformation from an Fe-based structure to a Co-based structure with increasing Co content. The Fe:Co ratio of 1:1 and 3:1 resulted in particles with the highest and lowest saturation magnetization, respectively.

Micro-alloying effects of Ta and B on nano-oxides and grain boundaries in 13CrWTi-ODS ferritic alloys

Jianning Zhang, Jing Li, Yiren Wang, Xiaodong Mao, Yong Jiang

Summary: We conducted a study on the formation of ultra-fine Y-Ti-Ta-O nano-oxides in Ta+B micro-alloyed 13CrWTi-ODS alloys using electron microscopy and first-principles calculations. The Y-Ti-Ta-O nano-oxides were found to be mainly Y2(Ti,Ta)2O7, with an average size of 7 nm and a number density of 6.8 x 1023 m-3. Excess boron was found to enhance the adhesion of some low-sigma grain boundaries but weaken the Fe/Y2Ti2O7 interface, while excess tantalum enhanced the Fe/Y2Ti2O7 interface but caused serious degradation of grain boundaries.

Significantly enhanced magnetism in cobalt ferrite by manganese and terbium co-doping

Xiufang Qin, Yuanli Ma, Hui Zhang, Ting Zhang, Fang Wang, Xiaohong Xu

Summary: The structure and magnetism of cobalt ferrites after Mn2+-Tb3+ co-doping were studied. Co-doped samples exhibited cubic spinel structure and spherical shape of ferrite nanoparticles. The redistribution of Co2+ and Fe3+ ions between octahedral and tetrahedral sites was observed due to Mn2+-Tb3+ co-doping. The coercivity and magnetization saturation of co-doped samples were significantly improved, leading to a maximum energy product that is 190% higher than that of the un-doped sample.

Ho Yeon Lee, Wonjong Yu, Yoon Ho Lee

Summary: Recently, there has been an increasing interest in developing ultra-fine nanostructured electrodes with extensive reaction areas to enhance the performance and low-temperature operation of solid oxide fuel cells. The use of a refined approach involving co-sputtering metal alloys and oxide targets has demonstrated the feasibility of nano-columnar structures in perovskite-based electrodes, expanding the temperature range of thin film electrodes. This study systematically examines the effects of chamber pressure control in the co-sputtering process and identifies the intricate relationship between sputtering pressure and film structure. By fine-tuning the columnar growth in the electrode, significant improvements in performance and thermo-mechanical properties were achieved, resulting in high-performance all-sputtered solid oxide fuel cells.
