Summary: The research found that samples with less internal stress formed denser and less defective passive films on their surfaces, attributed to higher concentration of metal ions at the metal/solution interface during anodization process. Prolonged passivation times resulted in more impurities being incorporated into the growing passive film, deteriorating its electrochemical properties.

Summary: The Mo15Nb20Ta10Ti35V20 refractory high entropy alloy with BCC structure was prepared by vacuum arc melting. The synthesized alloy demonstrated better corrosion resistance compared to 316 stainless steel in chloride corrosion environment, which is attributed to the complex passive film structure and shows the characteristics of passivation-transpassivation-secondary passivation on the polarization curve. Mott-Schottky curves analysis and XPS results reveal that the primary and secondary passive films have different P-N junctions composed of different oxides showing bilayer structure characteristics. The dynamic changes of TiO2 and Ti2O3 contents are responsible for the secondary passivation phenomenon.

Summary: Duplex stainless steels (DSSs) are promising materials in many fields due to their excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties resulted from their microstructure, which consists of roughly equal amounts of austenite and ferrite phases. Additive manufacturing (AM) has shown great advantages in fabricating metal parts with complex geometries, however, achieving expected formation quality and microstructure simultaneously remains a challenge. Delicate control of processing conditions is highly required based on understanding of DSS materials and AM processes in order to optimize the fabrication process.

Summary: The aim of this review is to summarize recent achievements in the development of ultrafine-grained austenitic/ferritic stainless steels through large strain deformation. The paper discusses various methods of large strain deformation for producing ultrafine-grained metallic materials. It also explores the structural mechanisms responsible for grain refinement during plastic deformation and examines the physical and mechanical properties of ultrafine-grained stainless steels. The review concludes that the development of ultrafine-grained microstructures during severe plastic deformation is a result of continuous dynamic recrystallization, with the misorientations among strain-induced cells/subgrains progressively increasing.

Summary: This paper investigates the microstructure and corrosion resistance of FeCoCrNiNbx high-entropy alloys in a chloride ion environment. The results show that FeCoCrNiNb0.15 alloy exhibits the best corrosion resistance, with significantly lower corrosion current density and corrosion rate compared to 316LSS. The P-N junction improves the corrosion resistance of the passive film of FeCoCrNiNb0.15, while the passive film of FeCoCrNi mainly exhibits n-type semiconductor characteristics.

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.

Summary: This study explores the potential of biphenylene as a nanocarrier for the delivery of the anticancer drug cisplatin. It is found that biphenylene offers physical stability, rapid release rate, solubility, and bio-compatibilities compared to other nanocarriers. The adsorption of cisplatin on the surface of biphenylene involves charge transfer from cisplatin to biphenylene. The drug is shown to be released at body temperature in an acidic environment. Biphenylene also exhibits excellent cytotoxicity activity and cellular uptake of the drug. Overall, biphenylene shows promise as a potential nanocarrier for cisplatin delivery.

Summary: In this study, a potential platform to enhance Raman scattering and increase the number of observable Raman modes in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) was proposed. The platform consisted of large-scale arrays of gold micropillars (MPs), which were able to enhance the Raman intensity of TMDs and make difficult-to-detect Raman modes observable. The platform showed great industrial advantages and wide applicability due to its low cost, simple process, large controllable area, and short process time.
