In order to create alloys with exceptional properties for orthopedic uses, this study focuses on the impact of zirconium (Zr) content on the structural, electrochemical, and tribological qualities of nanostructured Ti–25Nb-xZr [x = 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 atomic (at.) %] alloys. The structural evolution was investigated using XRD and SEM techniques. The mechanical characteristics of the produced alloys, including Vickers hardness and Young's modulus, were measured. In addition, the corrosion tests were performed using the OCP, EIS, and PD methods in Ringer's solution within the independent pH range at 37 °C. A ball-on-disc tribometer was used to investigate the tribological behavior of the alloys under various loads and wet conditions using the Ringer solution. It has been verified that Zr content (at. %) in the alloys had an impact on their morphologies, structural evolution, and mechanical characteristics. According to the morphological analysis, the particle and crystallite size decreases with increasing Zr content. Young's modulus and Vickers hardness show the same tendency. The EIS data demonstrated that a single passive film formed on the alloy surfaces, and the addition of Zr enhanced the corrosion resistance of the passive films. The polarization curves demonstrate that the alloys had low corrosion current densities and large passive areas without the passive films disintegrating. Likewise, the inclusion of Zr resulted in a reduction in the corrosion and passive current density values. All of these results suggested that the titanium alloys exhibit a more noble electrochemical activity caused by Zr. From the tribological perspective, it was found that the friction coefficient of the alloys reduced with increasing Zr content.

为了制造出具有特殊性能的骨科用合金,本研究重点探讨了锆(Zr)含量对纳米结构 Ti-25Nb-xZr [x = 5、10、15、20、25 和 30 原子(at.)使用 XRD 和 SEM 技术对结构演变进行了研究。测量了所生产合金的机械特性,包括维氏硬度和杨氏模量。此外,还使用 OCP、EIS 和 PD 方法,在 37 °C、独立 pH 值范围内的林格氏溶液中进行了腐蚀测试。在林格溶液中,使用球盘摩擦仪研究了合金在各种载荷和潮湿条件下的摩擦学行为。结果表明,合金中的锆含量(%)对合金的形态、结构演变和机械特性都有影响。根据形态分析,随着 Zr 含量的增加,颗粒和晶粒尺寸会减小。杨氏模量和维氏硬度也呈现出同样的趋势。EIS 数据表明,合金表面形成了单一的被动膜,添加 Zr 增强了被动膜的耐腐蚀性。极化曲线表明,合金的腐蚀电流密度较低,被动面积较大,但被动膜没有瓦解。同样,锆的加入也降低了腐蚀和被动电流密度值。所有这些结果都表明,钛合金在 Zr 的作用下表现出更高的电化学活性。从摩擦学角度来看,研究发现合金的摩擦系数随着 Zr 含量的增加而降低。

Tungsten (W) is the most promising material for future plasma-facing materials. Its alloys or composites reinforced with various compounds have been studied to improve the irradiation resistance of W. This study aimed to investigate the effect of boron-containing reinforcement in the W matrix against He+ ion irradiation. Cerium hexaboride (CeB6) particulates, which have high neutron shielding properties, were incorporated into the W matrix pre-alloyed by 1 wt% Ni (W1Ni). CeB6 powders were home-made and prepared from CeO2/Mg/B2O3 powder blends via mechanochemical synthesis and purification steps. 1, 5, and 10 wt% CeB6 powders were added to pre-alloyed W1Ni by mechanical alloying, and then they were consolidated by using pressureless sintering (PS, 1400 °C, 1 h) and spark plasma sintering (SPS, 1410 °C, 1 min) techniques. CeB6 particle-reinforced W1Ni composites contained different amounts of reinforcements were prepared by two different sintering methods and were compared with respect to their compositional, microstructural, and microhardness properties and wear and irradiation behaviors. Based on the results, increasing the CeB6 reinforcement amount in the composite triggered the formation of the W2B phase, especially in the W1Ni–10CeB6 composite after both sintering methods. The mechanical and irradiation properties were enhanced more by increasing the CeB6 amount in the case of using the SPS method. When compared to other sintered samples, the SPS'ed W1Ni–10CeB6 composite has the lowest specific wear rate of ∼4 × 10−7 mm3/Nm and the maximum hardness value of ∼21 GPa. According to surface deformation, the W1Ni–5CeB6 composite exhibited comparatively higher resistance to He+ ion irradiation.

钨(W)是未来最有前途的面向等离子体的材料。为了提高钨的抗辐照性能,人们对其合金或用各种化合物增强的复合材料进行了研究。本研究旨在调查钨基体中的含硼增强材料对 He 离子辐照的影响。将具有高中子屏蔽性能的六硼化铈(CeB)微粒加入预合金化了 1 wt% 镍(W1Ni)的 W 基体中。CeB 粉末是自制的,由 CeO/Mg/BO 粉末混合物通过机械化学合成和提纯步骤制备而成。通过机械合金化将 1、5 和 10 wt% 的 CeB 粉末添加到预合金化的 W1Ni 中,然后使用无压烧结(PS,1400 °C,1 小时)和火花等离子烧结(SPS,1410 °C,1 分钟)技术将其固结。通过两种不同的烧结方法制备的 CeB 粒子增强 W1Ni 复合材料含有不同数量的增强剂,并对其成分、微结构和微硬度性能以及磨损和辐照行为进行了比较。结果表明,在两种烧结方法下,复合材料中 CeB 增强量的增加会引发 WB 相的形成,尤其是在 W1Ni-10CeB 复合材料中。在使用 SPS 方法的情况下,通过增加 CeB 的用量,力学性能和辐照性能得到了更大的提高。与其他烧结样品相比,SPS 法烧结的 W1Ni-10CeB 复合材料的比磨损率最低,为 ∼4 × 10 mm/Nm,硬度值最大,为 ∼21 GPa。根据表面变形,W1Ni-5CeB 复合材料对 He 离子辐照的耐受性相对较高。

Mitigating the global warming caused by CO2 emissions from anthropogenic sources is a hot research topic in the current era. The high cost and difficulty in handling liquid solvent absorbents for CO2 capture are the main barriers to their industrial application. Earth-abundant solid sorbents are favorable candidates for CO2 separation, offering a low energy penalty for CO2 desorption. Here, Polysulfone (PSF) nanocomposites were prepared by simple solution blending. The carbon-based fillers, namely carbon nanotubes (CNT), and activated carbon (CA) in the range of 5–20 wt%, containing iron nanoparticles, were used as fillers. Their morphological, thermal, CO2 capture capacity and magnetic properties were comprehensively studied. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) evidenced uniform filler distribution in the polymer matrix with sizes of 47–54 nm. Thermal analysis revealed an approximately 4 °C improvement in both the initial (Tonset) and maximum (Tmax) degradation temperatures by adding 5 wt% of nanoparticles compared to the pristine polymer. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the pristine PSF and produced nanocomposites showed identical values as estimated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The increase in filler amount gradually decreased the water contact angle values, indicating a hydrophilic classification of the PSF nanocomposites. The obtained PSF nanocomposites exhibited an efficient CO2 capture capacity of about 40–61 mgCO2/g at 45 °C, higher than pristine PSF. This remarkable achievement sets a new benchmark compared to previously developed systems. The introduction of the filler transforms the diamagnetic polymer matrix into a ferromagnet, presenting a coercivity of about 480 Oe, enhancing the material's potential for applications in microelectronics.

减缓人为二氧化碳排放造成的全球变暖是当今的热门研究课题。用于捕获一氧化碳的液体溶剂吸附剂成本高且难以处理,是其工业应用的主要障碍。地球上丰富的固体吸附剂是二氧化碳分离的有利候选材料,可为二氧化碳解吸提供低能耗。本文通过简单的溶液混合法制备了聚砜(PSF)纳米复合材料。使用碳基填料,即碳纳米管(CNT)和活性炭(CA)(5-20 wt.%)作为填料,其中活性炭含有纳米铁颗粒。对它们的形态、热性能、一氧化碳捕获能力和磁性能进行了全面研究。透射电子显微镜(TEM)显示,聚合物基体中的填料分布均匀,铁纳米粒子的尺寸为 47-54 nm。热分析表明,与原始聚合物相比,添加 5 wt.% 的纳米粒子可使初始()和最大()降解温度提高约 4 °C。根据差示扫描量热仪(DSC)的估算,原始 PSF 和生产的纳米复合材料的玻璃化转变温度()显示出相同的值。随着填料量的增加,水接触角值逐渐减小,这表明 PSF 纳米复合材料具有亲水性。所获得的 PSF 纳米复合材料在 45 °C 时的二氧化碳捕集能力约为 40-61 mgCO/g,高于原始 PSF。与之前开发的系统相比,这一卓越成就树立了新的基准。填料的引入将二磁性聚合物基体转变为铁磁体,呈现出约 480 Oe 的矫顽力,增强了材料在微电子领域的应用潜力。

This research introduces a novel approach to repurposing walnut shells, an abundant agricultural waste, to synthesize sustainable nitrogen-doped activated carbon (N@AC). The resulting material exhibits remarkable properties suitable for dual applications in high-performance all-solid-state supercapacitors and efficient Rhodamine B dye (RhB) adsorption. In a three-electrode setup, the N@AC electrode exhibits an impressive specific capacitance of 484.6 Fg1 at 1 Ag1 and remarkable long-term stability, maintaining 97.4% of its initial performance even after 5000 charge-discharge cycles. Simultaneously, the all-solid-state symmetric supercapacitor configuration (N@AC//N@AC) demonstrates outstanding specific capacitance, registering at 168.8 Fg1 at 1 Ag1, accompanied by a favourable rate capability of 67.3% at 10 Ag1. Notably, the N@AC//N@AC configuration attains a high energy density of 39.8 WhKg−1 at 1 Ag1. Furthermore, N@AC//N@AC exhibits favourable cyclic stability, retaining 83.91% of its initial capacitance even after 10,000 charge-discharge cycles. Moreover, the adsorption efficiency of N@AC toward RhB is scrutinized, highlighting its efficacy in addressing environmental remediation challenges. The porous architecture and nitrogen functionalities of N@AC play a crucial role in expeditiously eliminating organic pollutants from aqueous solutions, offering a sustainable approach to treating wastewater. Optimal conditions for the highest RhB adsorption are identified: pH 7.2, a contact duration of 180 min, and an initial dye concentration of 20 mgL−1. Thermodynamic evaluations, encompassing the determination of ΔH, ΔH, and ΔS, signify the endothermic and spontaneous nature of the adsorption process. In desorption investigations, it is noted that H2O, employed as an eluting agent, proficiently releases 87.35% of the adsorbed RhB dye.

本研究介绍了一种将核桃壳(一种丰富的农业废弃物)重新用于合成可持续的掺氮活性炭(N@AC)的新方法。所制备的材料具有卓越的性能,适合高性能全固态超级电容器和高效罗丹明 B 染料(RhB)吸附的双重应用。在三电极设置中,N@AC 电极在 1 A g 条件下的比电容达到了惊人的 484.6 F g,并且具有显著的长期稳定性,即使在 5000 次充放电循环后仍能保持 97.4% 的初始性能。与此同时,全固态对称超级电容器配置(N@AC//N@AC)显示出卓越的比电容,1 A g 时为 168.8 F g,10 A g 时的速率能力为 67.3%。值得注意的是,N@AC//N@AC 配置在 1 A g 时可达到 39.8 WhKg 的高能量密度。此外,N@AC//N@AC 还表现出良好的循环稳定性,即使在 10,000 次充放电循环后,仍能保持 83.91% 的初始电容。此外,还仔细研究了 N@AC 对 RhB 的吸附效率,突出了其在应对环境修复挑战方面的功效。N@AC 的多孔结构和氮功能在快速消除水溶液中的有机污染物方面发挥了关键作用,为废水处理提供了一种可持续的方法。确定了 RhB 吸附量最高的最佳条件:pH 值为 7.2,接触时间为 180 分钟,初始染料浓度为 20 毫克/升。热力学评估包括测定 ΔH、ΔH 和 ΔS,表明吸附过程具有内热和自发性质。在解吸研究中注意到,作为洗脱剂的 HO 能有效释放 87.35% 的吸附 RhB 染料。

Employing electric double-layer (EDL) capacitors to harvest low-grade heat (LGH) is a novel technique in the high-efficiency energy absorption field. This work reports the fabrication of a vertical thermoelectric cell, based on a nanoporous graphene electrode immersed in low-concentration saline solution, for use as thermo-charging supercapacitors to convert LGH to electricity via thermally induced voltage. Because of a large specific area and a large number of micropores of nanoporous graphene films, the effective thermoelectric coefficient of the thermoelectric cell containing 0.01 M KCl solution can reach as high as 4.73 mV/°C. However, many factors, such as electrode materials, electrolyte solutions, and energy conversion device components, determine the efficiency of a thermoelectric conversion device. In summary, the device has a lower internal resistance and higher output voltage when the concentration of KCl solution is 0.05 M, and demonstrates higher thermoelectric conversion efficiency. Moreover, improving the conductivity of the electrolyte solution without affecting the device output voltage is also a way to reduce the internal power consumption of the device. The specific power and thermoelectric conversion efficiency of the device are increased by several orders of magnitude when uniformly dispersed silver nanoparticles are added to the potassium chloride solution to enhance the conductivity of the solution. The specific power underwent an increase from 0.50 mW g−1 to 42.37 mW g−1, and the thermoelectric conversion efficiency also increased from 0.0022% to 0.1358%.

利用双电层(EDL)电容器收集低品位热量(LGH)是高效能量吸收领域的一项新技术。这项研究报告了一种垂直热电电池的制作方法,该电池基于浸入低浓度盐水溶液中的纳米多孔石墨烯电极,可用作热充电超级电容器,通过热感应电压将低品位热量转化为电能。由于纳米多孔石墨烯薄膜的比面积大、微孔数量多,因此含有 0.01 M KCl 溶液的热电池的有效热电系数可高达 4.73 mV/°C。然而,电极材料、电解质溶液和能量转换装置组件等诸多因素决定了热电转换装置的效率。总之,当 KCl 溶液的浓度为 0.05 M 时,该装置的内阻较低,输出电压较高,热电转换效率较高。此外,在不影响装置输出电压的情况下,提高电解质溶液的电导率也是降低装置内部功耗的一种方法。在氯化钾溶液中加入均匀分散的银纳米粒子以提高溶液的导电性时,装置的比功率和热电转换效率提高了几个数量级。比功率从 0.50 mW g 增加到 42.37 mW g,热电转换效率也从 0.0022% 增加到 0.1358%。

The hydrothermally synthesized rutile-TiO2 nanorods were spin-coated with anatase-TiO2 film and decorated with Ag nanoparticles via sputtering to construct Ag nanoparticles decorated heterophase TiO2 composites. By extending the sputtering duration to altering the Ag content in the TiO2 composition, we aim to investigate the correlation between the microstructures and the dual function of photoelectrochemical photocatalytic and gas-sensing performances for environmental applications. The Ag nanoparticles on the anatase/rutile-TiO2 composites facilitate photon absorption through surface plasmon resonance. Also, Ag nanoparticles contribute the hot electron to enhance the synergy effect in the anatase-TiO2/rutile-TiO2 to prevent recombination of photoinduced carriers under irradiation, thereby strengthening the photocatalytic characteristics. Furthermore, the gas sensing performance is improved due to the electronic and chemical sensitization effects caused by the Ag nanoparticles on the anatase-TiO2/rutile-TiO2 composite. This study demonstrates that tuning Ag nanoparticle content in the anatase/rutile-TiO2 composites is a promising material design strategy for use in highly efficient photoexcited and gas-sensing devices. The proposed Ag nanoparticles decorated polymorphic TiO2 composite nanorods are suitable for eliminating organic pollutants in water and ethanol pollution monitoring.

In the event of a fire outbreak, it is very important to extinguish it before it becomes a blaze. Since the increase in firefighting water capacity for this purpose leads to an increase in the vehicle's load, it is necessary to reduce the weight of the tank. In this study, by changing the material from stainless steel to CFRP, the weight of the firefighting tank was reduced by 47.9% while increasing the capacity by 13.3%. The CFRP tank was manufactured by a vacuum infusion process using 12k filament carbon fiber and vinyl ester resin. After driving a firetruck equipped with a firefighting water tank for 5000 km, the dissolution test and the test to withstand the internal pressure performed on the tank corroborated that it can be equipped on firetrucks and used as a drinking water tank.

This work highlights the impact of growth temperature on the electrical and optical properties of Al-doped ZnO (AZO) films deposited by the atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique. The ALD process and super-cycle sequence have been optimized, identifying their influence on film resistivity. By using this optimum ALD procedure, the optical and electrical properties of AZO films have been widely analyzed considering the deposition temperature. Results show promising values with film resistivity in the range of 1 mΩcm and average optical absorption below 2% for 50 nm thick AZO layers. Hall effect, X-ray diffraction and ellipsometry measurements point out that these excellent values are related to their high carrier concentration and mobility, crystalline phase and optical band gap, resulting in ALD AZO films with excellent properties to be applied in photovoltaic devices as transparent conductive oxide electrode.

Silver nanoparticles, because of their large absorption surface and small size, are considered to be intelligent magnetic particles. The advancements in nanotechnology have revolutionized cancer treatment, with silver nanoparticles playing a crucial role in this field. In a recent experiment, the effects of Ag nanoparticles formulated from Origanum majorana on breast cancer cells were investigated. It was found that these nanoparticles induce apoptosis through the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 and P53 signaling pathways. The nanoparticle characterization was conducted using FE-SEM, XRD, and UV–Vis techniques. Furthermore, the Ag nanoparticles exhibited significant antioxidant activity by preventing 50% of DPPH at 183 μg/mL. The MTT assay revealed the anti-breast carcinoma properties of silver NPs on MCF-7, T-47D, and SkBr3 cells. The outcomes demonstrated that as the nanoparticle concentration increased, the cancer cells survival percentage reduced for 3 days. The most effective anticancer effect was observed at 1000 μg/ml. MTT findings indicate that a concentration of nanoparticles at IC50 = 97, 186, and 180 μg/ml effectively targets 50% of MCF-7, T-47D, and SkBr3 breast carcinoma cells. The presence of silver NPs induces cell apoptosis, which is with the Bax markers regulation and the pro-apoptotic cleaved caspase-8 upregulation, while the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 marker is downregulated. Besides, silver NPs inhibit the formation of colonies. Molecular pathway analysis of breast cells treated with silver NPs reveals an increase in p53 expression, while the total and phosphorylated STAT3 expression is inhibited, suggesting that p53 and STAT3 have a notable role in the remedial efficacies of silver NPs on breast carcinoma cells. Additionally, the Ag nanoparticles exhibit high sensitivity in the hydrazine electrochemical detection, a potentially carcinogenic substance, with a detection limit of 0.25 μM. The developed sensor, utilizing Ag nanoparticles, shows great promise for the environmental monitoring of hydrazine due to its excellent catalytic performance and simple preparation process. Based on clinical research, recent silver nanoparticles have emerged as a viable option for breast cancer treatment.

纳米银颗粒因其吸收面大、体积小而被认为是智能磁性颗粒。纳米技术的进步给癌症治疗带来了革命性的变化,而纳米银粒子在这一领域发挥着至关重要的作用。最近的一项实验研究了银纳米粒子对乳腺癌细胞的影响。结果发现,这些纳米粒子通过信号转导和激活转录 3 及 P53 信号途径诱导细胞凋亡。使用 FE-SEM、XRD 和 UV-Vis 技术对纳米颗粒进行了表征。此外,银纳米粒子还表现出了显著的抗氧化活性,在 183 μg/mL 的浓度下可阻止 50% 的 DPPH。MTT 试验显示了银纳米粒子对 MCF-7、T-47D 和 SkBr3 细胞的抗乳腺癌特性。结果表明,随着纳米粒子浓度的增加,癌细胞在 3 天内的存活率降低。在 1000 μg/ml 的浓度下,抗癌效果最佳。MTT 研究结果表明,IC50 = 97、186 和 180 μg/ml 的纳米粒子浓度能有效抑制 50% 的 MCF-7、T-47D 和 SkBr3 乳腺癌细胞。银微粒的存在诱导细胞凋亡,其表现为 Bax 标志物调控和促凋亡的裂解 Caspase-8 上调,而抗凋亡的 Bcl-2 标志物下调。此外,银 NPs 还能抑制菌落的形成。银纳米粒子处理的乳腺癌细胞的分子通路分析表明,p53 的表达增加,而 STAT3 的总表达和磷酸化表达受到抑制,这表明 p53 和 STAT3 在银纳米粒子对乳腺癌细胞的修复功效中起着显著作用。此外,银纳米粒子在肼这种潜在致癌物质的电化学检测中表现出很高的灵敏度,检测限为 0.25 μM。所开发的利用银纳米粒子的传感器因其出色的催化性能和简单的制备过程,在肼的环境监测方面大有可为。根据临床研究,最近银纳米粒子已成为治疗乳腺癌的一种可行选择。
