Here we present a sensitive formaldehyde (HCHO) gas sensor based on an ordered array of Ag-In2O3 composite nanorods, which is synthesized via the nanocasting route by directly using the solvent-extracted mesoporous silica as a hard template. Incorporation of metallic Ag nanoparticles in the nanorod array significantly improves its gas-sensing properties. The response of the ordered array of Ag-In2O3 composite nanorods to 85 ppm HCHO is 4.5 times higher than that for a pure In2O3 nanorod array without Ag. (C) 2012 Acta Materialia Inc.

Confined Growth of MoS2 by using a Two-Dimensional Metal-Organic Framework for Efficient Hydrogen Evolution

Chicheng Ma, Weiwei Li, Dan Xu, Qiang Wu, Cong Li, Jinchun Tu, Kexi Zhang

Summary: A highly exposed MoS2 hybrid electrocatalyst with active edge sites is successfully prepared by employing a confined strategy of the pores of a 2D metal-organic framework (MOF). The hybrid electrocatalyst shows better hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) efficiency, with a low overpotential of 76 mV at 10 mA cm(-2) and a Tafel slope of 73 mV dec(-1), compared to pristine MoS2. The denotative growth of MoS2 from the internal pore of 2D MOF prevents stacking and exposes more active edge sites, while the incorporation of Co into MoS2 enhances the HER activity through strong electronic interaction.

On the co-nucleation of adjoining twin pairs at grain boundaries in hexagonal close-packed materials

Darshan Bamney, Laurent Capolungo

Summary: This work investigates the formation of adjoining twin pairs (ATPs) at grain boundaries (GBs) in hexagonal close-packed (hcp) metals, focusing on the co-nucleation (CN) of pairs of deformation twins. A continuum defect mechanics model is proposed to study the energetic feasibility of CN of ATPs resulting from GB dislocation dissociation. The model reveals that CN is preferred over the nucleation of a single twin variant for low misorientation angle GBs. Further analysis considering GB character and twin system alignment suggests that CN events could be responsible for ATP formation even at low m' values.

Sharp/diffuse antiferroelectric-ferroelectric phase transition regulated by atomic displacement ordering

Bing Han, Zhengqian Fu, Guoxiang Zhao, Xuefeng Chen, Genshui Wang, Fangfang Xu

Summary: This study investigates the behavior of electric-field induced antiferroelectric to ferroelectric (AFE-FE) phase transition and reveals the evolution of atomic displacement ordering as the cause for the transition behavior changing from sharp to diffuse. The novel semi-ordered configuration results from the competing interaction between long-range displacement modulation and compositional inhomogeneity, which leads to a diffuse AFE-FE transition while maintaining the switching field.

Relating the combinatorial materials chip mapping to the glass-forming ability of bulk metallic glasses via diffraction peak width

Ze Liu, Cai Chen, Yuanxun Zhou, Lanting Zhang, Hong Wang

Summary: This study attempts to address the gap in cooling rates between thin film deposition and bulk metallic glass (BMG) casting by correlating the glass-forming range (GFR) determined from combinatorial materials chips (CMCs) with the glass-forming ability (GFA) of BMG. The results show that the full-width at half maximum (FWHM) of the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP) is a good indicator of BMG GFA, and strong positive correlations between FWHM and the critical casting diameter (Dmax) are observed in various BMG systems. Furthermore, the Pearson correlation coefficients suggest possible similarities in the GFA natures of certain BMG pairs.
