Cold gas dynamic spray (cold spraying, CS) has emerged as a promising solid state manufacturing technique to fabricate thick metallic deposits with limited risk of oxidation, phase transformations and residual thermal stresses. As-sprayed deposits usually exhibit poor mechanical properties and often require post-spray heat treatments to reduce inter-splat defects. In most of the cases, traditional heat treatments offer limited benefits to rejuvenate the mechanical properties of the deposit. This preliminary work presents an effective way to modify the microstructure and improve the mechanical properties of cold sprayed A380 aluminum alloy. As-sprayed alloy deposits were subjected to hot rolling treatments with different thickness reductions. Results suggest that the hot rolled samples show better strength and ductility compared with their as-sprayed state. Microstructural evolution and resulting mechanical properties, at different processing conditions, were analyzed through optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and tensile tests. Sample with thickness reduction of 40% displayed highest values of ultimate strength (UTS, 420 +/- 2.1 MPa) and elongation (Elf, 5 +/- 2.3%) compared with the corresponding values of as-sprayed (100 +/- 13.4 MPa, 0%) and conventionally heat treated (186 +/- 17 MPa, 0.93 +/- 0.05%) samples. The improvement in mechanical properties of the rolled samples were mainly attributed to the progressive elimination/reduction of inter-splat defects together with in-situ composite microstructure formation. EBSD and HRTEM revealed that in-situ composite structure was formed through progressive refinement and uniform distribution of Si particles in alpha-Al matrix containing coherent theta' precipitates.

Knockdown of KDM5B Leads to DNA Damage and Cell Cycle Arrest in Granulosa Cells via MTF1

Yingnan Yang, Yu Cai, Jinjing Guo, Keke Dai, Liang Liu, Zili Chen, Feng Wang, Mingtian Deng

Summary: KDM5B is crucial for early embryo development and its expression is highly regulated by maternal factors. In this study, we investigated the role of KDM5B in granulosa cells (GCs) and found that KDM5B is involved in cell cycle regulation and DNA damage prevention in GCs. Knockdown of KDM5B led to a decrease in cell proliferation and an increase in apoptosis, as well as a blockage of GCs at the S phase. Furthermore, knockdown of KDM5B resulted in increased reactive oxygen species levels, mitochondrial depolarization, and DNA double-strand breaks. These effects were partially rescued by up-regulation of MTF1. Overall, our findings suggest that KDM5B plays a critical role in promoting cell cycle progression and preventing DNA damage in GCs through the up-regulation of MTF1.

Highly efficiency blue emissive from Bi3+ions in zero-dimensional organic bismuth halide for white LED applications

Jun'an Lai, Daofu Wu, Peng He, Kang An, Yijia Wang, Peng Feng, WeiWei Chen, Zixian Wang, Linfeng Guo, Xiaosheng Tang

Summary: Zero-dimensional organic-inorganic metal halides (OMHs) are gaining attention in the fabrication of light-emitting diodes due to their broad emission band and high photoluminescence quantum yield. This work synthesized a zero-dimensional organic tetraphenylphosphonium bismuth chloride (TBC) that showed efficient blue light emission, with the emission mechanism attributed to the transition of Bi3+ ions. White light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) were fabricated using TBC, along with green-emitting and red-emitting single crystals, achieving single-component white emissions. These findings demonstrate the different emission mechanism of ns2 ions-based OMHs and highlight the potential of bismuth-based OMHs in WLEDs applications.

Study on the wear resistance and mechanism of AlCrCuFe2NiTix high-entropy surfacing alloys

Xuewei Liang, Yunhai Su, Taisen Yang, Zhiyong Dai, Yingdi Wang, Xingping Yong

Summary: The revolutionary design concept of high-entropy alloys has brought new opportunities and challenges to the development of advanced metal materials. In this work, AlCrCuFe2NiTix high-entropy flux cored wires were prepared by combining the design idea of a high-entropy alloy with the characteristics of flux cored wire. AlCr-CuFe2NiTix high-entropy surfacing alloys were prepared using gas metal arc welding technology. The wear properties of the alloys were analyzed, and the phase composition, microstructure, strengthening mechanism, and wear mechanism were discussed. The results show that the alloys exhibit a dendritic microstructure with BCC/B2 + FCC phases. Increasing Ti content leads to the precipitation of Laves phase. The alloys show improved microhardness and wear resistance due to the precipitation of coherent B2 and Laves phases. However, excessive Ti addition results in the increase of Laves phase and reduced wear resistance of the alloys.

Summary: The structure and magnetism of cobalt ferrites after Mn2+-Tb3+ co-doping were studied. Co-doped samples exhibited cubic spinel structure and spherical shape of ferrite nanoparticles. The redistribution of Co2+ and Fe3+ ions between octahedral and tetrahedral sites was observed due to Mn2+-Tb3+ co-doping. The coercivity and magnetization saturation of co-doped samples were significantly improved, leading to a maximum energy product that is 190% higher than that of the un-doped sample.

Ho Yeon Lee, Wonjong Yu, Yoon Ho Lee

Summary: Recently, there has been an increasing interest in developing ultra-fine nanostructured electrodes with extensive reaction areas to enhance the performance and low-temperature operation of solid oxide fuel cells. The use of a refined approach involving co-sputtering metal alloys and oxide targets has demonstrated the feasibility of nano-columnar structures in perovskite-based electrodes, expanding the temperature range of thin film electrodes. This study systematically examines the effects of chamber pressure control in the co-sputtering process and identifies the intricate relationship between sputtering pressure and film structure. By fine-tuning the columnar growth in the electrode, significant improvements in performance and thermo-mechanical properties were achieved, resulting in high-performance all-sputtered solid oxide fuel cells.
