Summary: The electrochemical behaviors of steel bars in magnesium phosphate cement (MPC) were studied, and it was found that the steel bars in the simulated MPC pore solution could effectively passivate, forming films mainly composed of FePO4. Compared to traditional cement materials, MPC exhibited superior corrosion protection due to the continuous precipitation of phosphates and accumulation of passive films. After depassivation of steel bars, MPC showed self-healing corrosion behavior characterized by dramatic recovery of passive film resistance and charge transfer resistance. Corroded steel bars in MPC with a low magnesia-to-phosphate ratio could re-passivate and stabilize for long periods of time.

Summary: A combined EIS and XPS approach was used to investigate the corrosion behavior of 5083 Al alloy. It was found that the dissolution of Mg at the Mg-rich IMCs controlled the corrosion behavior, indicating that microstructures with high amount of Mg-rich IMCs were more susceptible to corrosion. The EIS experimental data showed good agreement with the fitted ones calculated using a model proposed for pure magnesium, and the XPS analysis revealed the double-layer structure of the passive films.

Summary: The effect of trace Ce addition on the microstructure evolution and corrosion behavior of dilute Mg-0.6Al-0.5Mn-0.25Ca alloys has been investigated. The addition of Ce resulted in the formation of less noble Al8Mn4Ce and Al11Ce3 phases. Notably, the alloy containing 0.3 wt% Ce exhibited the lowest corrosion rate, attributed to factors such as the low potential difference, compact composite oxide film, and enrichment of Fe.

Summary: The study reveals that the interfacial resistance decreases significantly during dynamic processes of steady magnesium deposition or dissolution, while it is very high at the OCV. Adsorption phenomena have different effects on interfacial charge transfer, leading to high impedance during steady-state deposition due to a larger distance for electron tunneling. During dissolution, the high interfacial impedance measured is likely caused by migration of magnesium ions away from the metal surface. At higher currents, the interfacial resistivity follows Butler-Volmer kinetics without complications from adsorption phenomena.

Summary: Photocatalytic technology utilizing sunlight as a driving force can convert solar energy into other energy sources for storage and use. CdS, as a typical reducing semiconductor, has attracted attention in photocatalysis due to its suitable bandgap and strong reducing ability. However, the photocatalytic performance of CdS is limited by carrier recombination and photocorrosion. Therefore, CdS has been widely developed as a reducing photocatalyst in constructing S-scheme heterojunctions to overcome these limitations.

Summary: A novel compliant spinal fixation based on compliant mechanisms is designed to effectively reduce stress-shielding effect and adjacent segment degeneration (ASD), but it requires high properties of the used materials. Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs), as young biomaterials, demonstrate excellent comprehensive properties, making them attractive for compliant spinal fixation. In this study, the large deflection deformation behaviors of Zr61Ti2Cu25Al12 (at.%, ZT1) BMG beam were systematically investigated, including elastic, yielding, and plastic deformations. The theoretical nonlinear analytical solution curve predicts the load-deflection relation within the elastic deformation regime and assists in capturing the yielding event, serving as a powerful design tool for engineers. To accurately capture the beginning of the yielding event in biomedical implant applications, the concept of bending proof strength (sigma p,0.05%) with tiny permanent strain of 0.05% was proposed and determined, which is significant for setting the allowable operating limits of the basic flexible elements. The plastic deformation driven by the bending moment can be classified into two stages: the initial stage characterized by nucleation and intense interaction of shear bands, and the second stage dominated by the progressive propagation of shear bands and emergence of shear offsets. The plasticity of BMG beam structures depends on the BMG's inherent plastic zone size (rp), and when the half beam thickness is less than that of rp, the plastic deformation of BMGs behaves in a stable manner, effectively serving as the margin of safety.

Summary: The bainite transformation in medium Mn steels has been experimentally and theoretically studied, and it has been found that the transformation kinetics is slow. However, the introduction of dislocations can significantly accelerate the transformation rate. A new "carbon depletion mechanism" is proposed to explain the role of dislocations in the acceleration of bainite transformation, and a physical model is developed to quantitatively understand the kinetics of bainite transformation.

Summary: Fe-based metallic glasses are promising materials in the fields of advanced magnetism and sensors. This study proposes a novel approach to tailor the amorphous structure through liquid-liquid phase transition, and provides insights into the correlation between structural disorder and magnetic order. The results show that the liquid-liquid phase transition can induce more locally ordered nanodomains, leading to stronger exchange interactions and increased saturation magnetization. The increased local heterogeneity also enhances magnetic anisotropy, resulting in a better stress-impedance effect.

Summary: Metal-organic frameworks derived composites are promising EMW absorbers. Cation substitution can improve their absorption performance by regulating morphology and atomic space occupation. However, the mechanisms of how cation substitution affects EMW absorption performance are still not well understood. In this study, imidazolic MOFs were fabricated and tailored by cation substitution strategy to prepare porous composites. The samples showed optimal reflection loss and effective absorption bandwidth values under low filling rate and thin thickness conditions. The intercoupling between multiple atoms and the porous structure introduced by cation substitution contribute to the improved absorption performance.
