Summary: Platinum has high electrocatalytic activity but can be poisoned by certain substances. This study reveals that platinum loses its electrocatalytic activity for methanol oxidation in the presence of lead contamination. The decrease in activity is demonstrated by comparing methanol oxidation current using a lead counter electrode versus a platinum counter electrode. The mechanism is attributed to the adsorption of trace lead ions from the lead counter electrode, as confirmed by calculating binding energies. This report is important for the design and management of direct methanol fuel cells, considering the potential negative effect of trace lead contamination.

Summary: When the reentry target enters the earth's atmosphere, a plasma sheath forms on its surface. During radar detection, the echo signal couples with different Doppler frequency components, causing mismatches with the matched filter and generating false targets on the range profile. Additionally, the high speed of the reentry target leads to migration through range cells, further impacting detection and recognition. This article proposes an improved frequency-domain compensation method to address false targets and migration, effectively enhancing the detection and tracking of plasma-sheath-covered targets.

Summary: In the middle and late stages of a gas well, the plunger gas lift process is an important means of drainage and gas production. We studied the liquid-drainage efficacy of different types of plungers (cylindrical plunger, brush plunger, and gasketed plunger) under different gas volumes and sealing differences. The sealing mechanism of various types of plungers, as well as the impact of different gap widths between the plunger and the tubing wall on the plunger's sealing performance, were investigated. The gasketed plunger has the best sealing performance, followed by the brush plunger, and the cylindrical plunger has the worst sealing performance.

Summary: In order to rationalize the utilization of water resources, it is important to obtain high-resolution products that can accurately estimate the spatiotemporal changes in regional water resources. This study proposes a geographically weighted regression downscaled model (GWRDM) to improve the spatial resolution of terrestrial water storage (TWS) products obtained from the GRACE satellite. The results show that the downscaled TWS based on GWRDM outperforms other downscaled models, and the downscaled groundwater storage (GWS) based on GWRDM agrees well with in situ observations. Therefore, GWRDM provides a practical algorithm for obtaining high-resolution water storage estimates and contributes to small-scale regional water resources management.

Summary: Li metal has great potential for electrochemical energy storage, but the growth of Li dendrites has hindered its practical application in rechargeable Li-metal batteries. In this study, a 3D ZIF-8@RGO scaffold with abundant N/Zn sites was successfully demonstrated as a current collector and host material for Li metal anodes. The selective deposition of Li into the 3D matrix free of dendrites, facilitated by lithiophilic N/Zn nucleation sites and conductive RGO, enabled improved coulombic efficiency and stability.

Summary: Magnesium alloy is considered as a promising biomaterial for bone regeneration. In this study, a Mg-6Zn-4Si alloy reinforced with in-situ Mg2Si phase and yttrium (Y) addition was comprehensively investigated. The primary and eutectic Mg2Si phases were significantly modified by the Y addition, leading to a reduction in primary phase size to around 20 μm. The wear resistance and tensile properties of the Mg-Zn-Si alloy were improved by the addition of 0.5 wt.% Y, with 50% higher ultimate tensile strength and 65% higher elongation compared to the ternary alloy. Excessive Y addition (1.0 wt.%) deteriorated the tensile properties. This improvement can be attributed to the modification of Mg2Si phases and solid solution strengthening of Y atoms. This study provides implications for the application of Y-containing Mg-Zn-Si alloys as regeneration implants.

Summary: This article presents the results of a systematic study on the electrochemical performance and mechanical changes in two types of commercial batteries with different anode chemistry. The study reveals that the swelling of anode layers in batteries with silicon-based components causes deformations in the jelly roll structure, but the presence of a small percentage of silicon does not significantly impact the cycling performance of the cells within the relevant state-of-health range for electric vehicles (EVs). The research suggests that there is room for improving the cell capacities by increasing the silicon loading in composite anodes to meet the increasing demands on EVs.

Summary: By coupling electrochemical testing to operando synchrotron based X-ray absorption and powder diffraction experiments, blended positive electrodes consisting of LiMn2O4 spinel (LMO) and layered LiNi0.5Mn0.3Co0.2O2 (NMC) were studied to understand their redox mechanism. It was found that blending NMC with LMO can enhance energy density at high rates, with the blend containing 25% LMO showing the best performance. Testing with a special electrochemical setup revealed that the effective current load on each blend component can vary significantly from the nominal rate and also changes with SoC. Operando studies allowed monitoring of the oxidation state evolution and changes in crystal structure, in line with the expected behavior of individual components considering their electrochemical current loads.
