Soft self-healing materials are promising candidates for flexible electronic devices due to their exceptional compatibility, extensibility, and self-restorability. Generally, these materials suffer from low tensile strength and susceptibility to fracture because of the restricted microstructure design. Herein, we propose a hydrothermal-freeze-thaw method to construct high-strength self-healing hydrogels with even interconnected networks and distinctive wrinkled surfaces. The integration of the wrinkled outer surface with the three-dimensional internal network confers the self-healing hydrogel with enhanced mechanical strength. This hydrogel achieves a tensile strength of 223 kPa, a breaking elongation of 442%, an adhesion strength of 57.6 kPa, and an adhesion energy of 237.2 J m-2. Meanwhile, the hydrogel demonstrates impressive self-repair capability (repair efficiency: 93%). Moreover, the density functional theory (DFT) calculations are used to substantiate the stable existence of hydrogen bonding between the PPPBG hydrogel and water molecules which ensures the durability of the PPPBG hydrogel for long-term application. The measurements demonstrate that this multifunctional hydrogel possesses the requisite sensitivity and durability to serve as a strain sensor, which monitors a spectrum of motion signals including subtle vocalizations, pronounced facial expressions, and limb articulations. This work presents a viable strategy for healthcare monitoring, soft robotics, and interactive electronic skins.

There is a booming scientific research community looking into two-dimensional (2D) MXenes with superior physical and chemical characteristics that are potentially applicable in many fields. However, compared to energy conversion and storage, their applications in environment remediation have received much less attention. Hence, this review summarizes the recent progress of 2D MXenes and their derivates adopted for interdisciplinary applications with a focus on environment-related areas, aiming at promoting the diversity of MXenes and providing a refreshing background. Firstly, the properties including excellent electrical conductivity (as high as 15,100 S cm−1), large surface area (100–1,000 m2 g−1), tunable surface chemistry (-O, -OH or -F terminal groups), photothermal conversion (∼100 % light-to-heat efficiency) as well as kinetic and thermodynamic stability of 2D MXenes are briefly introduced. The engineering strategies of MXene-derived nanocomposites through the construction of heterostructures, metal/non-metal doping, the introduction of vacancies, strain engineering, and computation modelling are then followed. Finally, we emphasize current advances achieved in versatile applications including metal ions adsorption, photocatalytic organics degradation and CO2 reduction, solar water desalination, oil/water separation, and gas sensing, where engineering, mechanisms, and performances of different 2D MXene derivates are discussed. It is envisioned that 2D MXenes will become one of the prominent nanomaterials effective for diverse applications in the years to come.

In aerospace, BBC-Nb alloys confront notable challenges in thermal stability and toughness under cyclic fatigue at varying temperatures. Insufficient thermal stability and expedited coalescence of precipitates substantially accelerates the degradation of alloys at elevated temperatures. Here, a Nb alloy with impressive thermal stability and mechanical properties was designed using theoretical calculations and a two-step graded heat treatment process. The superlative properties of the Nb alloy are primarily associated with the NbC hierarchical structures, i.e., stable nanoparticles in Nb-BCC grains and discontinuous microparticles at grain boundaries (GBs). The hierarchical carbides configuration avoids continuous precipitation of carbides at GBs and preferential coarsening within the grains. The process involves precipitating ZrC nanoparticles at 1350 °C, then stabilizing NbC at 1800 °C by replacing Zr with Nb. Nb-FCC nanophases enveloping NbC prevent coarsening and have strong relationships with both NbC nanoparticles and matrix. The concept of fine-tuning NbC precipitation within grains and introducing NbC at GBs with a substitution method offers a strategy for high-strength, heat-resistant materials.

Cr coatings, as protective coatings of Zr-alloy fuel claddings, inevitably suffer from irradiation damage before they would possibly run into the accident condition. This study evaluates the radiation and oxidation tolerance of three Cr-based coatings with different microstructures (Cr, CrAlSi, and CrAlSiN) through He2+ ion irradiation and 1200 °C steam oxidation. The Cr and CrAlSi coatings experienced significant structural degradation, characterized by He bubble aggregation and amplified Kirkendall effects at elevated temperatures. In contrast, the irradiated CrAlSiN coating maintained structural integrity without measurable irradiation hardening. Following annealing at 800 °C for 30 min, approximately 40 % of injected He atoms were released, indicating a “self-healing” mechanism. The mechanism is attributed to uniformly distributed, low-density channels that act as sinks and release paths for irradiation-induced defects. Density functional theory simulations suggest that N atoms promote significant rearrangement of ions surrounding the free volume, inhibiting the formation of sites capable of trapping He atoms. Moreover, the CrAlSiN coating exhibited superior oxidation resistance compared to the Cr and CrAlSi coatings, even under high-temperature steam conditions. Notably, the irradiated CrAlSiN sample displayed a significantly thinner oxide scale compared to the pristine one (almost half), owing to a more protective oxide scale and rapid outward diffusion of Cr, Al, and Si through nanochannel veins. These findings illuminate the effects of structure and composition on irradiation and oxidation behavior in Cr-based coatings, offering insights for developing new-generation accident-tolerance fuel coatings for Zr-alloy claddings.
铬涂层作为 Zr-合金燃料包壳的保护层,在可能进入事故状态之前不可避免地会受到辐照损伤。本研究通过 He2+ 离子辐照和 1200 °C 蒸汽氧化,评估了三种具有不同微观结构的铬基涂层(Cr、CrAlSi 和 CrAlSiN)的辐照和氧化耐受性。Cr 和 CrAlSi 涂层经历了明显的结构退化,在高温下表现为 He 气泡聚集和 Kirkendall 效应放大。相比之下,经过辐照的 CrAlSiN 涂层则保持了结构的完整性,没有明显的辐照硬化。在 800 °C 下退火 30 分钟后,注入的氦原子释放了约 40%,这表明存在 "自愈 "机制。该机制归因于均匀分布的低密度通道,这些通道是辐照诱导缺陷的汇集和释放途径。密度泛函理论模拟表明,N 原子促进了自由体积周围离子的显著重排,抑制了能够捕获 He 原子的位点的形成。此外,即使在高温蒸汽条件下,CrAlSiN 涂层的抗氧化性也优于 Cr 和 CrAlSi 涂层。值得注意的是,与原始样品相比,辐照过的 CrAlSiN 样品显示出明显更薄的氧化鳞片(几乎只有原始样品的一半),这是因为氧化鳞片具有更强的保护性,而且 Cr、Al 和 Si 通过纳米通道脉络快速向外扩散。这些发现阐明了结构和组成对铬基涂层的辐照和氧化行为的影响,为开发新一代 Zr-合金包层的事故耐受燃料涂层提供了启示。

Zinc-ion capacitors (ZICs) are promising energy storage devices due to their balance between the energy and power densities inherited from Zn-ion batteries and supercapacitors, respectively. However, the low specific capacitance of carbon cathode materials and the dendrite growth on Zn anode have set fatal drawbacks to their energy density and cycle stability. Herein, we demonstrate that, in 1 M Zn(CF<sub>3</sub>SO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>/DMF (N, N-dimethylformamide) electrolyte, confining oxygen in carbon cathode materials via high-energy ball milling can synergistically introduce additional pseudocapacitance on the cathode side while suppressing the dendrite growth on Zn anode side, which jointly lead to high energy density (94 Wh kg<sup>−1</sup> at 448 W kg<sup>−1</sup>) and long cycle stability of ZICs.

锌离子电容器(ZIC)是一种前景广阔的储能设备,因为它兼顾了锌离子电池和超级电容器的能量密度和功率密度。然而,碳阴极材料的低比电容和锌阳极上的枝晶生长对其能量密度和循环稳定性造成了致命的缺陷。在此,我们证明了在 1 M Zn(CF3SO3)2/DMF(N, N-二甲基甲酰胺)电解液中,通过高能球磨限制碳阴极材料中的氧,可以在阴极侧协同引入额外的假电容,同时抑制锌阳极侧的枝晶生长,从而共同实现 ZIC 的高能量密度(94 Wh kg-1 at 448 W kg-1)和长周期稳定性。在初始放电过程中,碳阴极中的羟基会随着质子的释放转化为 C-O-Zn,进而刺激 CF3SO3-CF3SO3- 阴离子的脱氟反应,并在阴极和阳极上形成 ZnF2。在锌阳极表面形成的 ZnF2 通过调节网状结构中 Zn2+ 的沉积/剥离,抑制了枝晶的生长,从而实现了出色的循环稳定性。这项工作提供了一种简便的策略,通过对碳阴极材料中的含氧官能团进行工程设计,合理地设计和构建高能量和稳定的 ZIC。

The Kirschner wire (K-wire) is widely used in orthopedic external fixation due to its versatility and clinical effectiveness. However, a significant challenge associated with its use is the potential for bacterial migration, subsequent infection, and dislodgement as the wire penetrates the skin and bone. This study introduces a novel bioactive material, selenium/calcium silicate (Se/β-CS), achieved by integrating selenium—an essential trace element in the human body—into bioceramic calcium silicate. This integration was accomplished using a combined chemical co-deposition method and redox reaction. Furthermore, a uniform and controllable Se/β-CS coating was applied to the K-wire's surface using the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. This coating gradually releases active components—Si, Ca, and Se—that effectively eliminate bacterial infections and promote osteointegration. The findings of this study offer promising opportunities for the use of robust and multifunctional coating materials on implantable devices, particularly within the fields of orthopedics, transplantation, and surgery.
克氏线(K-wire)因其多功能性和临床有效性而被广泛用于骨科外固定。然而,其使用过程中面临的一个重大挑战是,当钢丝穿透皮肤和骨骼时,可能会发生细菌迁移、继发感染和脱落。本研究介绍了一种新型生物活性材料--硒/硅酸钙(Se/β-CS),它是通过将硒--一种人体必需的微量元素--整合到生物陶瓷硅酸钙中而实现的。这种整合是通过化学共沉积法和氧化还原反应联合实现的。此外,还利用 Langmuir-Blodgett 技术在 K 线表面形成了一层均匀、可控的 Se/β-CS 涂层。这种涂层会逐渐释放出活性成分--硅、钙和硒,从而有效地消除细菌感染并促进骨结合。这项研究结果为在植入设备上使用坚固耐用的多功能涂层材料提供了良好的机遇,尤其是在整形外科、移植和外科领域。

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) show great potential in the field of electrochemical energy storage with the advantages of high safety, low cost and environmental friendliness. Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) are considered as the highly promising cathode materials for AZIBs because of their low cost and high voltage potential. Its excellent electrochemical performance and sustainable energy storage capability provide a new direction and opportunity for the development of AZIBs technology. The practical application of PBAs in AZIBs, however, is restrained by its unstable cycle life deriving from PBAs’ inherent structure deficiencies and its dissolution in aqueous electrolyte. Based on the summary of series of literature, we will comprehensively introduce the PBAs as cathodes for AZIBs in this review. Firstly, some basic knowledge of PBAs is introduced, including structural characteristics, advantages and issues.

Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) are considered as the highly promising cathode materials for AZIBs because of their low cost and high voltage potential. Its excellent electrochemical performance and sustainable energy storage capability provide a new direction and opportunity for the development of AZIBs technology. The practical application of PBAs in AZIBs, however, is restrained by its unstable cycle life deriving from PBAs’ inherent structure deficiencies and its dissolution in aqueous electrolyte. Based on the summary of series of literature, we will comprehensively introduce the PBAs as cathodes for AZIBs in this review. Firstly, some basic knowledge of PBAs is introduced, including structural characteristics, advantages and issues. Secondly, several commonly used modification methods to improve the properties of PBAs, as well as electrolytes to stabilize PBAs, are presented.

Quantifying the residual stress at micron-scale is crucial for comprehending the trans- and inter-granular deformation mechanisms and the influence of heat treatment, but remains technically challenging. This study utilized focused ion beam and digital image correlation (FIB-DIC) techniques to assess residual stress within the dendrite stem and arm of nickel-based single-crystal superalloys. The influence of hot isostatic pressing (HIP) on the microstructure and residual stress was also elucidated. Our results revealed that the residual stresses in the dendrite stem and arm regions manifest as tensile stress along the x-axis and compressive stress along the y-axis, with a range of -720 MPa to 680 MPa. HIP treatment effectively improved microstructure and regulated residual stress in nickel-based single-crystal superalloys, leading to a rapid reduction in residual stress levels. The present study lays a solid theoretical groundwork for optimizing processing strategies to regulate residual stress and enhance mechanical properties in next-generation single-crystal superalloys.

Recent studies have shown that synergistic precipitation of continuous precipitates (CPs) and discontinuous precipitates (DPs) is a promising method to simultaneously improve the strength and electrical conductivity of Cu-Ni-Si alloy. However, the complex relationship between precipitates and two-stage aging process presents a significant challenge for the optimization of process parameters. In this study, machine learning models were established based on orthogonal experiment to mine the relationship between two-stage aging parameters and properties of Cu-5.3Ni-1.3Si-0.12Nb alloy with preferred formation of DPs. Two-stage aging parameters of 400 °C/75 min + 400 °C/30 min were then obtained by multi-objective optimization combined with an experimental iteration strategy, resulting in a tensile strength of 875 MPa and a conductivity of 41.43 %IACS, respectively. Such an excellent comprehensive performance of the alloy is attributed to the combined precipitation of DPs and CPs (with a total volume fraction of 5.4% and a volume ratio of CPs to DPs of 6.7). This study could provide a new approach and insight for improving the comprehensive properties of the Cu-Ni-Si alloys.

In traditional trial-and-error method, enhancing the Young's modulus of magnesium alloys while maintaining a favorable ductility has consistently been a challenge. It is a need to explore more efficient and expedited methods to design magnesium alloys with high modulus and ductility. In this study, machine learning (ML) and assisted microstructure control methods are used to design high modulus magnesium alloys. Six key features that influence stiffness and ductility have been extracted in this ML model based on abundant data from literature sources. As a result, predictive models for Young's modulus and elongation are established, with errors less than 2.4% and 4.5% through XGBoost machine learning model, respectively. Within the given range of six features, the magnesium alloys can be fabricated with the Young's modulus exceeding 50 GPa and an elongation surpassing 6%. As a validation, Mg-Al-Y alloys were experimentally prepared to meet the criteria of six features, achieving Young's modulus of 51.5 GPa, and the elongation of 7%. Moreover, the SHapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP) is introduced to boost the model interpretability. This indicates that balancing the volume fraction of reinforcement, the most important feature, is key to achieve Mg-Al-Y alloys with high Young's modulus and favorable elongation through the two models. Enhancing reinforcement dispersion and reducing the size of reinforcement and grain can further improve the elongation of high-stiffness Mg alloy.
