In this paper, sub-micron porous WO3 spheres with uniform size were firstly prepared by the hydrolysis of WCl6 using carbon microspheres as templates in the hydrothermal system and the following heating treatment. The carbon template, precursor, and the final products were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM and BET analysis. The as-prepared sub-micron porous WO3 spheres had a large diameter of about 200 nm, which is critically determined by the size of carbon templates and WO3 center dot H2O/C precursor. In addition, these porous spheres have a large porosity and exhibit high gas sensitivity to alcohol in different concentrations. The facile preparation method and the improved properties derived from the porous spheres structures are significant in the synthesis and future applications of functional nanomaterials.

Effects of Catalysis and Separator Functionalization on High-Energy Lithium-Sulfur Batteries: A Complete Review

Muhammad Kashif Aslam, Sidra Jamil, Shahid Hussain, Maowen Xu

Summary: Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have advantages in terms of high theoretical specific capacity, rich sulfur resources, low production cost, and environmental friendliness, making them promising rechargeable energy storage devices. However, the shuttle effect of polysulfide hampers their commercialization by causing passivation of the anode, decreased capacity and efficiency, and reduced cycle stability. To address this issue, modifying the separator surface and introducing functional modified layers are effective strategies. Additionally, catalyzing the polysulfide conversion reaction can also hinder the migration of polysulfides. This review provides an overview of separator modification, functionalization, and catalysis in Li-S batteries, and prospects the future research trends in the field.

ZnO/Ti3C2 composite with oxygen vacancies and Schottky barrier for effective detection of ppb-level NO2 at room temperature

Siwei Liu, Mingyuan Wang, Chuanxin Ge, Xiangzhao Zhang, Shuangying Lei, Shahid Hussain, Mingsong Wang, Guanjun Qiao, Guiwu Liu

Summary: In this work, a ZnO1-x/Ti3C2 composite with rich oxygen vacancies was prepared by a hydrothermal process and subsequent annealing in a hydrogen atmosphere, showing high responses to low concentrations of NO2 at room temperature. The excellent sensing properties of the ZnO1-x/Ti3C2 composite are attributed to the presence of abundant oxygen vacancies and the formation of a ZnO1-x/Ti3C2 Schottky barrier. The composite also demonstrates high selectivity to NO2 compared to other gases. This study provides new insights into enhancing the room-temperature gas sensitivity of MOS-containing composites by constructing oxygen vacancies and heterojunctions.

Characterization and tribological behaviour of Indian clam seashell-derived hydroxyapatite coating applied on titanium alloy by plasma spray technique

Shahid Hussain, Zuber Ali Shah, Kazi Sabiruddin, Anup Kumar Keshri

Summary: Different hydroxyapatite (HA) powders synthesized from Indian clam seashells at varying temperatures were deposited on titanium alloy using an atmospheric plasma spray process. The coating materials were characterized in terms of crystallite size, Ca/P ratio, crystallinity, microstructure, and phases. The surface roughness, microhardness, porosity, adhesion strength, and wear resistance of the HA coatings were also evaluated. The 900 degrees C coating sample exhibited the highest adhesion strength, microhardness, and wear-resistance properties due to its maximum crystallinity among all the HA coatings.

Shahid Hussain, Jesse Nii Okai Amu-Darko, Mingsong Wang, Asma A. Alothman, Mohamed Ouladsmane, Samar A. Aldossari, Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, Guanjun Qiao, Guiwu Liu

Summary: Considering the significant risk of H2S gas to human life, research on H2S gas sensors has gained considerable interest. This study presents the fabrication of CuO/ZnO multifaceted nanostructures through heat treatment of Cu2+/ZIF-8 impregnation precursors, and evaluates their microstructure and gas sensing characteristics using various characterization techniques. The hollow CuO/ZnO nanostructures demonstrated high gas response, quick response and recovery times, low detection limit, good humidity resistance, and high selectivity towards H2S gas, which can be attributed to their porous hollow nanostructures, p-CuO/n-ZnO heterojunctions, and the spillover effect between CuO and H2S.

Summary: In this study, a borate glass (35B2O3-25SiO2-25Na2O-10ZnO3-5BaO in wt.%) was used as the basis for the glass system. Alumina ceramics (96 Al2O3) were brazed together using glass solder in air at various pressures and temperatures. The wettability of the glass on the Al2O3 ceramics was investigated, and it was found that the contact angle decreased with increasing temperature. The bubbles in the glass solder changed from round to oval and decreased in quantity with increasing pressure. The thickness of the glass solder was also reduced with increasing pressure and temperature.
