This paper investigates the temperature and loading rate dependencies of the critical stress intensity factor (KIC) for dislocation nucleation at crack tips. We develop a new KIC formula with a generalized form by incorporating the atomistic reaction pathway analysis into Transition State Theory (TST), which captures the KIC of the first dislocation nucleation event at crack tips and its sensitivity to temperature and loading rates. We use this formula and atomistic modeling information to specifically calculate the KIC for quasi-two-dimensional crack tips located at various slant twin boundaries in nano-twinned TiAl alloys across a wide range of temperatures and strain rates. Our findings reveal that twinning dislocation nucleation at the crack tip dominates crack propagation when twin boundaries (TBs) are tilted at 15.79° and 29.5°. Conversely, when TBs tilt at 45.29°, 54.74°, and 70.53°, dislocation slip becomes the preferred mode. Additionally, at TB tilts of 29.5° and 70.53°, at higher temperatures above 800 K and typical experimental loading rates, both dislocation nucleation modes can be activated with nearly equal probability. This observation is particularly significant as it highlights scenarios that molecular dynamics simulations, due to their time scale limitations, cannot adequately explore. This insight underscores the importance of analyzing temperature and loading rate dependencies of the KIC to fully understand the competing mechanisms of dislocation nucleation and their impact on material behavior.

Current research on green EMI shielding materials is often based on the misconception that absorption-dominated shielding is achieved when reflection loss (SER) exceeds absorption loss (SEA). Although this misconception has been corrected by a large body of literature, few studies have actually achieved absorbed power (A) greater than reflected power (R). In this study, PVA, glycerol and MXene were combined to form an organohydrogel (PMG) with oriented pores. The gel displays remarkable flexibility and strength, attributed to its robust network of hydrogen bond cross-links (the hysteresis return line remains stable under 1000 compression cycles). The PMG20-3 organohydrogel (0.78 wt% MXene) demonstrates a shielding performance of 42.34 dB (A/R=1.38) in the X-band and absorbs 99.9% of power in the terahertz band. This performance exceeds that of most previously reported systems and represents a new system for green electromagnetic shielding materials. Additionally, the PMG organohydrogel has flexible sensing and infrared stealth capabilities. These findings hold great promise for the development of green electromagnetic shielding multifunctional devices.

Developing nonprecious electrocatalysts with bifunctional performances for oxygen reduction (ORR) and evolution reactions (OER) remains a crucial challenge in rechargeable Zn-air batteries (RZABs). In this study, we report the synthesis of a three-dimensional (3D) porous N, P-doped carbon-wrapped cobalt phosphide composite (Co2P@3DNPC) via direct calcination of a novel organic/inorganic porous coordination polymer by an in-situ phosphating strategy. DFT calculations demonstrate the intricate interactions occurring during the PEI-directed grinding self-assembly process among Co2+, phytic acid (PA), and polyethylenimine (PEI). Specifically, Co2+ ions initially adsorb onto PEI molecules before integrating with PA to form a 3D coordination polymer matrix. As-fabricated Co2P@3DNPC composite exhibits impressive ORR/OER bifunctional performances, with a half-wave potential of 0.78 V and an overpotential of 1.71 V, respectively. Its bifunctional activities enable a power density of 148.5 mW cm–2 in rechargeable ZABs, with remarkable stability (> 480 h) during a discharge-charge cycle. The interconnected porous structure and embedded Co2P nanoparticles optimize the electrode-electrolyte interfacial contact, boosting energy density and cycle life of as-assembled ZABs. This innovative approach paves the way for efficient, cost-effective production of bifunctional electrocatalysts for RZABs.

Metal-based catalysts are prevalent in the CO2 hydrogenation to methanol owing to their remarkable catalytic activity. Herein, Ru/In2O3 catalysts with different morphologies obtained by doping Ru into In2O3 with irregular, rod-like, and flower-like morphologies are used for catalytic CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. Results indicate that the flower-like Ru/In2O3 (Ru/In2O3-F) exhibits higher catalytic performance than Ru/In2O3 with other morphologies, achieving a 12.9% CO2 conversion, 74.02% methanol selectivity, and 671.36 mgMeOH·h−1·gcat−1 methanol spatiotemporal yield. Furthermore, Ru/In2O3-F maintains its catalytic stability over 200 h at 5 MPa and 290 °C. The promotional effect mainly stems from the fact that electronic structure of Ru can be effectively adjusted by modulating the morphology of In2O3. The strong interaction between atomically dispersed Ru and In2O3-F enhances the structural stability of Ru, inhibiting the agglomeration of the catalyst during the reaction process. Furthermore, density-functional theory calculations reveal that highly dispersed Ru atoms not only perform efficient and rapid electronic gain and loss processes, facilitating the catalytic activation of H2 into H intermediates. It also enables the generated reactive H to rapidly overflow to the surrounding In sites to participate in CO2 reduction. These findings provide a theoretical basis for the development of high-performance catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation.
由于金属基催化剂具有显著的催化活性,因此在二氧化碳加氢制甲醇的过程中非常普遍。本文采用在 In2O3 中掺杂 Ru 而得到的不同形态的 Ru/In2O3 催化剂,包括不规则形态、棒状形态和花状形态的 Ru/In2O3 催化剂,用于催化 CO2 加氢制甲醇。结果表明,与其他形态的 Ru/In2O3 相比,花状 Ru/In2O3 (Ru/In2O3-F)具有更高的催化性能,可实现 12.9% 的 CO2 转化率、74.02% 的甲醇选择性和 671.36 mgMeOH-h-1-gcat-1 的甲醇时空产率。此外,Ru/In2O3-F 还能在 5 兆帕、290 ℃ 的条件下保持 200 小时的催化稳定性。这种促进作用主要源于通过调节 In2O3 的形态可以有效调整 Ru 的电子结构。原子分散的 Ru 与 In2O3-F 之间的强相互作用增强了 Ru 的结构稳定性,抑制了催化剂在反应过程中的团聚。此外,密度泛函理论计算显示,高度分散的 Ru 原子不仅能执行高效快速的电子增益和损耗过程,促进 H2 被催化活化为 H 中间产物。它还能使生成的活性 H 快速溢出到周围的 In 位点,参与 CO2 还原。这些发现为开发用于 CO2 加氢的高性能催化剂提供了理论基础。

Stretchable conductive fibers are essential for the advancement of wearable electronic textiles. However, a significant challenge arises as their conductivity sharply decreases when stretched due to disruptions in electronic transport. Coating fibers with soft liquid metal (LM) has emerged as a promising solution. Despite this, there remains an urgent need to develop methods that enhance LM adhesion to substrates while facilitating efficient electron transport pathways. This study demonstrates a novel Ag-LM conductive network strategy for fabricating a thermoplastic polyurethane/polydopamine/silver-LM (TPU/PDA/Ag-LM) fiber membrane. This membrane exhibits outstanding stretchable electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance and is produced through straightforward electrospinning, electroless depositing, and LM coating and activation. The TPU/PDA/Ag fiber membrane is initially prepared via polydopamine-assisted deposition of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on electrospun TPU fibers. The presence of AgNPs on the surface of TPU/PDA fibers enhances LM adhesion to the substrate and bridges adjacent LM to establish efficient conductive paths. This interaction benefits from the reactive alloying between AgNPs and LM, where the LM infiltrates the gaps among AgNPs, forming a distinctive LM-Ag alloy layer that uniformly coats the surface of TPU fibers. As anticipated, the unique three-dimensional (3D) interconnected LM-Ag conductive network remains intact during stretching, ensuring strain-invariant conductivity. The fabricated TPU/PDA/Ag-LM fiber membrane demonstrates exceptional EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) of 77.4 dB within the frequency range of 8.2–12.8 GHz and maintains an excellent EMI SE of 37.2 dB under extensive tensile deformation of 300%. Furthermore, the TPU/PDA/Ag-LM fiber membrane shows remarkable mechanical properties and stable Joule heating performance even under significant stretching.

Here, we architected a duplex heterostructure with FCC/L12 and B2 phases in Ni49Fe28Al17V6 eutectic high-entropy alloy (EHEA) by thermal-mechanical process. Ultra-high yield strength of ∼1550 MPa, high tensile strength of ∼1772 MPa and good ductility of ∼16.5% at room temperature (298 K) were exhibited. Particularly, ultra-high yield strength of ∼1877 MPa, ultra-high tensile strength of ∼2157 MPa and uniform elongation of ∼10% were achieved at cryogenic temperature (77 K). Such excellent room-temperature mechanical properties are attributed to the hetero-deformation induced (HDI) hardening. Ultrahigh cryogenic-temperature strength originates from not only HDI hardening, but also the strong interaction of deformation twins and high-density dislocations.

Lead halide perovskite (LHP) nanocrystals (NCs) suffer from poor stability against environmental factors (heat, moisture, oxygen, etc.), which seriously hinders their practical application. Constructing a core-shell structure could be an effective approach to improve the stability and optical properties of the LHP NCs. Herein, a novel strategy of water-triggered phase transformation and phospholipid (DSPE) micelle encapsulation is proposed, generating highly luminescent water-dispersed CsPbBr3@CsPb2Br5@DSPE core-shell-shell nanocrystals. The epitaxial growth of the CsPb2Br5 shell is induced by the in-situ reconstruction of the CsPbBr3 surface by water erosion, and the lattice mismatch with the CsPbBr3 core is small (3.8%). The further amphipathic phospholipid encapsulation guarantees their excellent water dispersity and stability. Revealed by the femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, the dense CsPb2Br5@DSPE shell effectively passivates the surface of the CsPbBr3 core, thus improving its stability and luminescence performance. The resulting CsPbBr3@CsPb2Br5@DSPE nanoparticles exhibit excellent performance as fluorescent probes for bioimaging, aqueous inks for high-resolution pattering, and light conversion layers for LEDs, demonstrating their promising potential in multiple applications.

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.

This work presents a viable strategy for healthcare monitoring, soft robotics, and interactive electronic skins.","PeriodicalId":16154,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science & Technology","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142488645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.
