Summary: In this study, an in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) heating system was used to investigate the morphological changes of cubic Ag nanoparticles (NPs) and Ag-based core-shell structures induced by sublimation, as well as the influence of shell coverage on thermal stability. It was found that large Ag NPs (>50 nm) showed a three-stage sublimation-induced morphological change, while small Ag NPs (<30 nm) showed a uniform sublimation. The sublimation process of core-shell NPs started at stage II, and the thermal stability was enhanced by carbon shell passivation.

Summary: Core-shell designed electrode architectures with favorable material components, specifically FeCo2O4@Ni(OH)2, were successfully grown on a Ni-foam substrate. These core-shell arrays exhibited improved electrochemical performance, with a high specific capacitance of 1944 F g-1 and better performance than individual FeCo2O4 and Ni(OH)2. The improved performance was attributed to the synergistic effects of the core-shell array architectures and enhanced electrical conductivity through electroactive sites.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of local disorder on the bulk properties of near-infrared-upconverting (UC) crystals. By analyzing the atomic pair distribution function (PDF) using high-energy synchrotron total scattering, the study found that the photoluminescence intensity of the crystals first increases and then decreases with increasing Li+ concentration. The local disorder is connected to the Gd(III)-O bond distances and is manifested in the tensile lattice strains. The results suggest that local disorder is fundamentally connected with lattice strain in UC crystals at high concentrations of symmetry perturbing agents.

Summary: The beneficial effects of adding nanostructured expandable graphite (EG) hybridized yttrium aluminium garnet (EG\YAG) powder as a composite reinforcement in improving the oxidation resistance, hot-strength, and microstructure development in refractories were studied. The refractory components reinforced with EG\YAG exhibited significant enhancement in oxidation resistance and hot-strength performance compared to the standard refractories. The in-situ development of bimodal microstructure with EG\YAG sintered framework was found to be the main reason for these improvements.

Summary: This study proposes a materials design parameter, Ri, to classify the reinforcements in the Al2O3-MgO-C refractory system based on their performance. The experimental results show that both pure YAG and EG\YAG nano-powders are effective reinforcements, but EG\YAG is more efficient than pure YAG. This efficiency is attributed to the formation of a core-sheath microstructure with EG dispersed YAG framework.

Summary: In this study, a composite electrode composed of Ti/TiH2/beta-PbO2_Mn3O4@C was fabricated and investigated for zinc electrowinning. The composite electrode exhibited low overpotential, Tafel slope, icorr, and high voltage stability, outperforming most reported Ti-based PbO2 electrode materials. The excellent catalytic activity can be attributed to the low resistance and porous interlayer of TiH2 nanosheets, as well as the addition of Mn3O4@C micro-flakes to the active layer.
