Summary: Direct carbon solid oxide fuel cell (DC-SOFC) is a potential and prospective technology for converting chemical energy from coal fuels into electricity with high efficiency and environmental friendliness. In this study, vanadium-doped B-site-deficient La0.5Sr0.5FeO3-delta (LSFVx) perovskite materials were synthesized and developed as the anode of DC-SOFCs for brown coal utilization. The electrochemical performances of the vanadium-doped perovskites were greatly improved compared to pure LSF, indicating that vanadium doping can effectively expand the three-phase reaction boundaries of the cell and enhance catalytic activity.

Summary: Molybdenum doped strontium ferrite (SFM) is a promising material for hydrogen electrode in solid oxide cells (SOCs), but often lacks sufficient electro-catalytic activity. In this study, Ni nanoparticles were infiltrated into SFM scaffold to form a high electrocatalytic Ni-SFM electrode for power generation and CO2 electro-reduction. By systematically investigating pre-sintering temperature and Ni loading, the electrode polarization resistance (Rp) was minimized.

Summary: This study investigated the Sr segregation behavior in LSCF under compression to simulate the operating condition of LSCF electrode in an assembled SOC stack. The compression load was found to suppress the formation of SrO on the surface of LSCF, improving durability significantly. Furthermore, the type of materials (YSZ, GDC, and Pt) in contact with LSCF also influenced Sr segregation in LSCF, with compression inducing more SrO formation when in contact with YSZ compared to GDC and Pt.

Summary: In this study, the surface properties of La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-delta (LSCF) perovskite electrode were modified with HNO3 treatment to improve its catalytic activity towards oxygen reduction reaction. The acid etching reduced the surface concentrations of A-site cations and suppressed the segregation of Sr on the surface. The HNO3 treatment also led to the formation of highly reactive oxygen species and Fe4+ species on the surface, accelerating the reduction of oxygen species adsorbed on the LSCF surface.

Summary: This study investigates a bifunctional catalyst by using in-situ growth ZIF-67 within three-dimensional nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (3D-N/rGO) layers. The introduction of 3D-N/rGO layers provides a suitable three-phase reaction interface and enhances O2 adsorbability. The assembled battery with normal electrolyte exhibits high specific capacity and stable cycling performance. When LiBr-gel polymer electrolyte is used, the polarisation value remains low even after continuous working for 1600 h. The use of this catalyst in Li-O2 batteries doubles the electrode performance.

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.

Summary: In this study, six bimetallic FeCo particles were synthesized via the hydrothermal method at different Fe:Co ratios. 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.

Summary: We conducted a study on the formation of ultra-fine Y-Ti-Ta-O nano-oxides in Ta+B micro-alloyed 13CrWTi-ODS alloys using electron microscopy and first-principles calculations. 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.

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.

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.
