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 investigated the feasibility of recycling ceramic polishing waste (CPW) in porcelain tile production and its impact on the phase composition, microstructure, and properties of the ceramic body. It was found that high CPW content can promote liquid phase formation at low temperatures, but may cause foaming or expansion at high temperatures, reducing mechanical properties. Successful preparation of porcelain tiles with CPW content of <= 30 wt% at firing temperatures of 1125-1200 degrees C was achieved, providing valuable insights for CPW utilization.

Summary: In this study, ceramic tile waste powder was used to prepare whole-life low-carbon ultrahigh-performance concrete, which showed excellent mechanical properties with compressive and flexural strength exceeding 120 MPa and 14 MPa, respectively. The modification mechanism mainly included pozzolanic effect, nucleation effect, and filling effect, improving the hydration degree of cement and reducing the porosity of concrete. The addition of CTWP also resulted in reduced environmental impacts and costs, making it a promising option for low-carbon concrete.

Summary: Composite modulation in the superparaelectric state of the BTBZ-CT system is proposed as an effective strategy to achieve both NTCC and excellent energy storage performance in dielectric ceramics. The addition of BZ and CT to BT ferroelectrics can move the SPE state to the normal use temperature zone, resulting in enhanced NTCC characteristics and energy storage performance. Furthermore, intentional precipitation of CT at grain boundaries can refine the grain size, increase the bandgap, and strengthen the local electric field distribution, thereby enhancing the breakdown electric field.

Summary: This study analyzes the influence of calcia refractory purity on the properties of calcia crucibles. Higher purity calcia results in well-developed grains and improved hydration resistance, leading to better high-temperature strength and thermal shock resistance. In contrast, lower purity calcia crucibles exhibit inferior properties. Therefore, high-purity calcia is considered a potential refractory for manufacturing oxide crucibles.

Summary: To raise the operating temperature of Si-based ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), researchers have applied thermal/environmental barrier coating (T/EBCs) materials, typically rare earth silicates. However, the high thermal conductivity and the mismatch of thermal expansion have been major challenges in developing new materials that can offer thermal insulation and environmental protection to CMCs. In this study, entropy engineering was used to create a multicomponent equi-atomic single-phase pyro silicate with extremely low thermal conductivity and enhanced water vapor corrosion resistance. The research findings show the potential of high entropy disilicates in achieving ultra-low thermal conductivity and low weight loss in corrosive environments.

Summary: This study provides an atomic-scale description of the high-velocity impact of alpha-Al2O3 particles onto an alpha-Al2O3 substrate during Aerosol Deposition (AD). The results suggest that the crystal orientation plays a crucial role in both plasticity and damage of the nanoparticles. Impact velocity has a direct correlation with plasticity and fragmentation, but adhesion efficiency has only a marginal increase. The crucial element lies in the substrate's surface alterations caused by the fragments left on the substrate after impact.

Summary: This study characterized the long-term and repeated ablation properties of modified Cf/HfC-SiC composites with YB4-Al2O3-Si3N4 under an air plasma torch. The structural stability and viscosity of the oxide layer were found to affect the ablation resistance of the composites. By forming nano c-HfO2 grains and high-viscosity Al-Si-Y-O glassy phase, the structural stability of the oxide layer was improved, resulting in enhanced ablation resistance. However, the oxidation of Si3N4 led to the formation of NO, NO2, and excessive SiO2 glassy phase, which resulted in a porous structure and reduced the viscosity of the oxide layer. Therefore, the addition of Si3N4 decreased the ablation resistance of the composites.

Summary: In this study, solid solutions of xBi(Ni1/2Hf1/2)O-3-(1 - x)PbTiO3 (xBNH-PT) were synthesized to investigate their phase boundary behaviors and physical properties. The presence of a tetragonal-pseudocubic phase boundary and a spontaneous ferroelectric-relaxor transition at specific compositions were confirmed. The introduction of a tetragonal-pseudocubic phase boundary improved the piezoelectric properties and suppressed the spontaneous ferroelectric-relaxor transition.
