Summary: The efficient synthesis of magnesium silicide was achieved by implementing combustion reactions in compressed mixtures of magnesium and silicon. The induction-activated method allowed rapid synthesis and characterization of the products using XRD and SEM techniques, showing that decreasing silicon particle size and increasing sample green density improved reaction kinetics and reduced the formation of undesirable phases. Activation energy for the self-propagating, high-temperature synthesis (SHS) of Mg2Si was calculated to be around 195 kJ mol(-1).

Summary: ZrB2-ZrC/Ni cermet composites with various Ni contents were successfully synthesized by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis using the Ni-Zr-B4C system. The effects of Ni content and B4C particle size on the SHS reaction were investigated. The results showed that an increase in Ni content led to a decrease in adiabatic temperature, maximum combustion temperature, ignition delay time, and ceramic particle size in the product. The formation mechanism of ZrB2 and ZrC during SHS from the Ni-Zr-B4C system was proposed based on combustion wave quenching experiment.

Summary: In this study, Se and Te co-doped CoSb3 bulk materials were fabricated using self-propagating high-temperature synthesis and pulse-plasma sintering techniques, which resulted in high chemical homogeneity and improved thermoelectric properties. The simultaneous doping and filling of voids in the skutterudite structure led to an ultralow lattice thermal conductivity and a dimensionless figure of merit of 1.1 at 723 K. These findings highlight the potential importance of the combined self-propagating high-temperature synthesis and pulse-plasma sintering techniques in the fabrication of chemically homogeneous and efficient thermoelectric materials.

Summary: Modification of charge transport layers is an effective method to enhance the performance of perovskite solar cells. The use of low-cost, water-soluble nonionic polymer polyacrylamide (PAM) to modify SnO2 improves the uniformity, wettability, and electron mobility of the film. This modification reduces defects in the perovskite film, increases the grain size, and improves energy-level alignment, leading to improved electron transfer. The power conversion efficiency of the modified SnO2-based PSCs is enhanced to 22.59%, and the devices retain 90% of their initial value after more than 1000 hours of storage under 50% relative humidity.

Summary: This article introduces a promising method, the vapor-solid reaction method (VRM), for preparing high-performance perovskite solar cells. PbI2 precursor films with high crystallinity and orderly morphology were prepared by vacuum evaporation at a substrate temperature of 110 degrees C. Based on this, high-quality perovskite films were prepared by VRM, and the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the perovskite solar cells (PSCs) devices reached 17.1%. In contrast, when the PbI2 precursor film was prepared on an unheated substrate, the PCE of the final PSCs devices was only 13.04%.
