Summary: Doping of SiC nanowires improves their electromagnetic wave absorption performance by enhancing the conductivity loss. N-doped SiC nanowires were synthesized using different methods, and the results showed the generation of Si2ON during the microwave synthesis and the reduction of stacking fault density through secondary heat-treatment. N-doped SiC nanowires with high-density stacking faults were successfully synthesized by introducing ammonium chloride as a nitrogen source, resulting in enhanced dielectric and EMW absorption properties in the 2-18 GHz range. The composite with a filling ratio of 20 wt.% exhibited a minimum reflection loss of -22.2 dB@17.92 GHz and an effective absorption bandwidth of 4.24 GHz at a thickness of 2.2 mm. Furthermore, the N-doped SiC nanowires demonstrated enhanced high-temperature EMW absorption properties.

Summary: In this study, MXene/PEO aerogels with a two-hierarchically porous structure were successfully fabricated. The 3D porous network of MXene/PEO aerogels was assembled by MXene layers featuring a secondary pore structure, which is unique compared to previous studies. The microstructure of MXene/PEO aerogels, and thus their complex permittivity and impedance matching, can be controlled by the amount of added PEO. The resulting MXene/PEO aerogels exhibited excellent electromagnetic wave absorption performance, with a broad effective absorption bandwidth of 5.20 GHz and a minimum reflection loss value of -50.8 dB.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.

Summary: In the study of BM-SCO and HSCO thin films, it was found that H vacancies tend to prefer sites near the external surface or oxygen vacancy channels (OVCs), while H interstitials prefer sites of oxygen on a layer that contains six-fold coordinated Co. These findings not only enrich the understanding of complex surface phenomena of defect formation but also provide an explanation for the reversibility during phase transformation.
