Summary: X-ray imaging of strains has made impressive progress recently, with improved resolution and optical elements. Development of new detectors has revolutionized measurement strategies. The introduction of a new accelerator ring concept has significantly increased brightness and coherent flux. In the next decade, fast three-dimensional imaging methods will emerge to track the evolution of strains in materials.

Summary: Hard ferrite (CoFe2O4), soft ferrite (Ni0.8Zn0.2Fe2O4), and composite ferrite (CoFe2O4)x/(Ni0.8Zn0.2Fe2O4)1-x (hard/soft ferrite) with varying compositions were synthesized by sol-gel auto combustion method. X-Ray Diffraction analysis confirmed the formation of cubic structures in the samples. Thermal analysis using TGA/DSC determined the temperature of phase formation. FTIR spectroscopy data verified the successful synthesis and formation of functional groups in the ferrites. SEM characterization showed overlapping spherical particles, and elemental mapping was performed using EDS. FESEM and TEM analysis demonstrated enhanced magnetic hyperthermia properties. Vibrating Sample Magnetometry was used to study the saturation magnetization (Ms), coercivity (Hc), and remnant magnetization (Mr) of the samples. Zeta potential measurement examined the surface charge of the particles in DI water. Heating characteristics of the samples were evaluated in an alternating magnetic field. The magnetic properties depended on the concentration of soft and hard ferrite, and the magnetic heating efficiency depended on the sample composition.

Summary: Doubly alkylene bridged 6,13-diphenylpentacene and analogously bridged azapentacenes have been prepared and are shown to be persistent. These doubly bridged azapentacenes exhibit superior photochemical, oxidative, and thermal stabilities compared to azapentacenes protected by bis(TIPS-ethynyl) substituents. Clipping an azaacene into a large ring is a viable complement in stabilization.

Summary: In this study, a simple strategy was demonstrated for constructing low-tortuosity through-pores in both vertical and planar directions of electrodes by casting large particles into single-particle-layer electrodes. Through multi-scale characterizations and simulations, correlations between material/electrode structures, electrolyte permeability, polysulfide migration, and sulfur reactions were elucidated. The high-loading and dense sulfur cathode fabricated by this method delivers a high specific capacity at a very low electrolyte/sulfur ratio.

Summary: This study presents an extensive and systematic investigation of a class of emerging high-entropy ceramics using high-resolution synchrotron powder diffraction and extended X-ray absorption fine structure analysis. The results indicate a random distribution of atoms with local strain around the d-metals sites, and a linear trend between the average structure and the first-neighbour distances, regardless of the number and type of metals in the high-entropy ceramic.

Summary: This article studies the fire extinguishing performance of FK-5-1-12 on a full-size battery box experimentally, triggered into thermal runaway by heating a lithium iron phosphate battery. The efficacy of the extinguishing agent under real circumstances of a lithium iron phosphate battery fire was investigated, using different loading of FK-5-1-12, by analyzing the extinguishment, reignition, as well as temperature changes on the battery surface and in the vicinity of the safety valve, and evaluating the performance in combination with the flame extinguishing effect and the cooling effect.

Summary: In this study, a liquid-phase input end is added to the cup burner to test the fire-extinguishing effect of C6F12O on lithium-ion battery syngas. The minimum extinguishing concentration (MEC) of C6F12O is determined, and the physical and chemical effects of C6F12O on lithium-ion battery syngas fire are quantified using the perfect stirred reactor (PSR) model. The results indicate that the fire-extinguishing effect of C6F12O on lithium-ion battery fire is mainly due to its physical cooling effect.

Summary: This study investigated the structures of two Se chains confined inside single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), revealing that the chains were linear and parallel. The covalent bond between Se and SWCNT was found to be stronger than that between Se and trigonal Se (t-Se). The interaction between chains was attributed to the overlap of electronic orbitals, and the disappearance of this overlap in the encapsulated Se chains enhanced the covalent bonds.

Our results indicate that the inclusion of spin orbit coupling has a significant impact on the electronic band structure and spin order, making it promising for spintronic applications. We found different topological states in these compounds and observed enhanced power factor in YPtBi with the inclusion of SOC.

Summary: In this study, we elucidate the hopping mechanism of hydrogen at intermediate temperature using a combination of experimental data and theoretical calculations. We find that the transition from thermal hopping to quantum tunneling is attributed to resonant tunneling, which is achieved through the resonant tunneling of discrete vibrational states between the edge octahedral site and the tetrahedral site. We also demonstrate that the tunneling rate can be tuned by energy level matching.

Summary: Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) with quantum confinement and size effects show great potential for sensing applications. This computational study investigates the adsorption performance of pristine and transition metal-doped coronene GQDs to hazardous gases. The results suggest that doping with chromium (Cr) or nickel (Ni) enhances the gas adsorption performance, with Cr-doped GQDs showing strong interaction with gas molecules and potential as a gas remover, and Ni-doped GQDs showing potential as a CNCl sensor.

Summary: Fe-based nanowires containing nonmagnetic elements, fabricated using a pulse electrodeposition method in porous anodic alumina membranes, exhibit magnetic tunability. The magnetic properties of Fe100-xSnx NW arrays, with a diameter of about 35 nm, such as coercivity and squareness values, decrease with increasing Sn content. The structure of the FeSn NWs, dominated by Fe or FeSn alloy crystal phase, can be either single domain or pseudo-single domain states depending on the Sn content.
