Summary: This research focuses on the synthesis, structure, thermal, and magnetic characteristics of Pr4Fe67Nb4-Cu2Zr1B22 nanocomposite magnets. Amorphous Pr4Fe67Nb4Cu2Zr1B22 rods were produced using injection casting and then annealed to achieve permanent magnetic properties. XRD analysis revealed that the as-cast rods were amorphous, while the annealed magnets had a mixture of tetragonal Pr2Fe14B, cubic alpha-Fe, and tetragonal Fe3B phases. The optimized annealed magnet consisted of 63% Pr2Fe14B, 26% alpha-Fe, and 11% Fe3B, with average grain sizes of 51.6 +/- 1 nm, 25.4 +/- 2 nm, and 21.5 +/- 2 nm, respectively. Microscopic and atomic probe studies showed that the annealed magnet had interconnected nanosized grains of Pr2Fe14B, alpha-Fe, and Fe3B. Magnetic hysteresis measurements demonstrated that the Pr4Fe67Nb4Cu2Zr1B22 nanocomposite magnet exhibited excellent magnetic properties, including a coercivity of 382 kA/m, remanence of 0.70 T, and maximum energy product of 64.2 kJ/m3, with a rare earth to iron ratio of 4:67.

Summary: In this study, molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to investigate the shock-wave propagation in nanocomposites consisting of different low-dimensional carbon materials (FCC-C60, MCNT, or MGNS) and monocrystal Al. The results revealed the intrinsic correlation between their phononic characteristics and shock-wave energy absorption. It was found that MCNT exhibited superior elastic absorption, reducing the shock-wave intensity by 80%. The dispersion mechanism mediated by the interaction between mid-frequency phonons and shock-wave played a significant role in absorbing large amounts of shock-wave energy. Additionally, the dissipation mechanism arising from thermal phonon scattering and interfacial phonon damping contributed to the energy absorption process.

Summary: This study evaluated the toxicity of BDE-47 towards RAW264.7 mouse macrophage cells and found that it caused a decrease in cell viability, an increase in apoptosis, and inhibition of phagocytosis. The mechanisms involved mitochondrial pathway-induced cell apoptosis and oxidative damage. Treatment with an antioxidant reversed the effects, while treatment with a ROS-inducer exacerbated them. These findings highlight the critical role of oxidative damage in BDE-47-induced suppression of immune function.

Summary: Extensive research has revealed that oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline conditions involves dynamic surface restructuring. The development and design of sulfide/oxide pre-catalysts can reasonably adjust the composition and structure after surface reconstruction, which is crucial for OER. This study utilized a simple two-step hydrothermal method to achieve in situ S leaching and doping, inducing the composition change and structure reconstruction of CoFe oxides. The transformed FeOOH and CoOOH exhibited excellent OER activity and could be easily mass-produced using low-cost iron based materials and simple methods.

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.

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.

The Fe:Co ratio not only modulates the composition of the particles but also influences their structure and magnetic properties. The FeCo alloys showed a transformation from an Fe-based structure to a Co-based structure with increasing Co content. The Fe:Co ratio of 1:1 and 3:1 resulted in particles with the highest and lowest saturation magnetization, respectively.

The Y-Ti-Ta-O nano-oxides were found to be mainly Y2(Ti,Ta)2O7, with an average size of 7 nm and a number density of 6.8 x 1023 m-3. Excess boron was found to enhance the adhesion of some low-sigma grain boundaries but weaken the Fe/Y2Ti2O7 interface, while excess tantalum enhanced the Fe/Y2Ti2O7 interface but caused serious degradation of grain boundaries.

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.

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.
