High-entropy alloys (HEAs), as a new type of multi-element alloy, have become widely studied electrocatalytic materials in recent years due to their excellent catalytic performance. The experimental material used FeCoNiAlMo HEA with equal atomic ratio as the precursor, and three-dimensional nanostructures were formed by dealloying in choline chloride-urea (ChCl-Urea). The results indicate that Fe₂₀Co₂₀Ni₂₀Al₂₀Mo₂₀ HEA is mainly composed of body-centered cubic (BCC) phase and face-centered cubic (FCC) phase, with BCC phase accounting for a larger proportion. Due to the different corrosion resistance of elements and the difference in element content distribution between the two phases, the FCC phase is preferentially corroded, resulting in a three-dimensional porous morphology. This unique structure synergistically reduces the energy barrier during the hydrolysis dissociation process, giving the material a significant advantage in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) process. At a current density of 10 mA cm⁻², the overpotential of the treated alloy is as low as 312 mV, which is lower than the commercial RuO₂-IrO₂, and it has lower resistance and higher charge transfer efficiency.

高熵合金（High-entropy alloys, HEAs）作为一种新型的多元素合金，因其优异的催化性能而成为近年来被广泛研究的电催化材料。实验材料以等原子比的FeCoNiAlMo HEA为前驱体，在氯化胆碱-尿素（ChCl-Urea）中进行脱合金处理，形成三维纳米结构。结果表明：Fe20Co20Ni20Al20Mo20 HEA主要由体心立方（BCC）相和面心立方（FCC）相组成，其中BCC相所占比例较大；由于元素的耐蚀性不同以及两相之间元素含量分布的差异，FCC相优先被腐蚀，形成三维多孔形态。这种独特的结构协同降低了水解解离过程中的能垒，使材料在析氧反应（OER）过程中具有显著的优势。在电流密度为10 mA cm−2时，处理后的合金的过电位低至312 mV，低于工业RuO2-IrO2，并且具有更低的电阻和更高的电荷转移效率。

With the advances in clean technologies, the role of fuel cells and batteries is becoming increasingly vital. Proton exchange membrane fuel cells are known to be the best candidates for low-temperature and portable operations, such as hydrogen cars. The efficiency and longevity of these fuel cells can be feasible through detailed microstructural analysis. In this regard, advanced imaging techniques are being used to visualize the structure of the different layers of PEMFCs including the membrane, catalyst layer, and gas diffusion layer. This study’s focus and novelty is to compare the focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy and X-ray Computed Tomography scanning for the microstructural imaging of the GDL.

Cs_0.33WO₃ nanoparticles exhibit strong localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), making them effective at absorbing near-infrared (NIR) light. However, effectively tuning the optical absorption of Cs_0.33WO₃ in the critical NIR range of 800–1000 nm has remained a major challenge. In this study, we employ aberration-corrected electron microscopy to conduct high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) on both Cs_0.33WO₃ and LaB₆ nanoparticles, reveal that the surface plasmon resonance in LaB₆ nanoparticles occurs at a higher energy than in Cs_0.33WO₃, allowing LaB₆ to absorb NIR light at shorter wavelengths. Based on this, we successfully adjusted the absorption characteristics of Cs_0.33WO₃ in the range of 800–1000 nm by utilizing the synergistic LSPR tuning of LaB₆ nanoparticles.

Cs0.33WO3纳米粒子表现出强烈的局部表面等离子体共振（LSPR），使其有效吸收近红外（NIR）光。然而，在800-1000 nm的近红外临界范围内有效调节Cs0.33WO3的光吸收仍然是一个主要的挑战。在本研究中，我们利用像差校正电子显微镜对Cs0.33WO3和LaB6纳米粒子进行了高分辨率电子能量损失光谱（EELS）分析，发现LaB6纳米粒子的表面等离子体共振发生在比Cs0.33WO3更高的能量下，使LaB6能够吸收波长更短的近红外光。在此基础上，我们利用LaB6纳米粒子的协同LSPR调谐，成功调整了Cs0.33WO3在800-1000 nm范围内的吸收特性。

This article describes a rapid method of recoating optical fibers employing the dip-coating technique, using a polypropylene film former with a silane coupling agent, which reacts, yielding a protective film over the core. The silica optical fibers were recoated with film former sizings at concentrations of 5 % and 10 %. Microscopic analysis of the recoated area showed a smooth surface and an increase in diameter of 13.4 % and 16.5 %, respectively, compared to the uncoated fiber. The maximum curvature radius of the uncoated fibers was 3.69 ± 1.70 mm, whereas the fibers recoated with the 5 % and 10 % film former sizings reached a bending radius of 1.71 ± 1.38 mm and 1.55 ± 0.98 mm, representing 53.9 % and 57.9 % reduction, respectively. This shows that recoated optical fibers are more flexible than the uncoated ones. In all, the recoating of optical fibers proposed in this work results in fibers with smooth and flexible surfaces using a simple, cost-effective technique that can be implemented on large-scale processes.

The precipitation behavior of an Al–6.8 %Si–0.38 %Mg cast alloy subjected to T5 heat treatment was investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). At the peak aging condition of 200 °C, granular and rod-shaped precipitates were observed at the center of the dendrite. Rod-shaped precipitates were successfully extracted after aging at 250 °C for 3.6 ks. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) confirmed that the extracted precipitates had a Mg:Al:Si atomic ratio of approximately 1:4:5, consistent with previously reported Type-A precipitates. Selected area electron diffraction (SAED) analysis further confirmed their hexagonal crystal structure, with lattice parameters a = 0.405 nm and c = 0.67 nm. These findings indicate that Type-A precipitates, which are typically observed in excess-Si Al–Mg–Si alloys, also form in T5-treated Al–Si–Mg cast alloys.

采用透射电镜（TEM）研究了al - 6.8% si - 0.38% Mg合金经T5热处理后的析出行为。在200℃的峰值时效条件下，枝晶中心出现粒状和棒状析出物。在250°C时效3.6 ks后，成功地提取了棒状沉淀。能量色散x射线光谱（EDS）证实，提取的析出物Mg:Al:Si原子比约为1:4:5，与先前报道的a型析出物一致。选择区域电子衍射（SAED）分析进一步证实了它们的六方晶体结构，晶格参数a = 0.405 nm, c = 0.67 nm。这些发现表明，在t5处理的Al-Si-Mg铸造合金中也会形成a型析出相，这种析出相通常在过量si Al-Mg-Si合金中观察到。

The sample surface contamination induced during Surface Mechanical Attrition Treatment (SMAT) was studied after peening treatments carried out with 100C6 steel and ZrO₂ zirconia shots at room temperature, 523 K, and 773 K. All constituting parts of the treatment device (sonotrode, chamber, shots) contributed to sample surface contamination. Increasing the SMAT temperature led to a higher surface contamination with bigger contaminant debris as well as sample surface oxidation. In particular, several ZrO₂ shots were fragmented at 773 K due to a phase transformation embrittlement under warm condition.

采用100C6钢和ZrO2氧化锆在室温、523 K和773 K条件下进行喷丸强化处理，研究了表面机械磨损处理（SMAT）对样品表面污染的影响。处理装置的所有组成部分（声纳管、腔室、针筒）都会造成样品表面污染。随着SMAT温度的升高，样品表面污染加剧，污染物碎片增多，样品表面氧化。特别是，由于高温条件下的相变脆化，在773 K时，几个ZrO2弹丸破碎。

Ti₃C₂T_x is the first successfully obtained member of the MXene family. Due to its many excellent properties such as high metallic conductivity, solubility and capacitance, it has attracted a wide interest in potential applications such as supercapacitors and energy storage devices. In the presented work, we have successfully produced various semiconducting thin-films consisting of Poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) organic semiconductor (OS) blended with MXene flakes with different MXenes concentrations. Time-of-flight photoconductivity (TOFP) measurements revealed a 370 % enhancement in charge carrier mobility compared to neat P3HT. Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) were also fabricated using these blends, showing a 20 % improvement in field-effect mobility. This discrepancy arises due to contact resistance and interface effects in OFETs, which are absent in TOFP measurements. These results highlight the promise of P3HT:MXene blends for advanced electronic applications, where high mobility and straightforward processing are essential.

Ti3C2Tx是MXene家族中第一个成功获得的成员。由于其具有高金属导电性、高溶解度和高电容等优异性能，在超级电容器和储能器件等潜在应用领域引起了广泛的兴趣。在本文中，我们成功地制备了由聚（3-己基噻吩-2,5-二基）（P3HT）有机半导体（OS）与不同MXenes浓度的MXenes片混合组成的各种半导体薄膜。飞行时间光电导率（TOFP）测量显示，与纯P3HT相比，载流子迁移率提高了370%。有机场效应晶体管（ofet）也使用这些混合物制成，显示出20%的场效应迁移率提高。这种差异是由于ofet中的接触电阻和界面效应引起的，而这在TOFP测量中是不存在的。这些结果突出了P3HT:MXene共混物在先进电子应用中的前景，在这些应用中，高移动性和直接处理是必不可少的。

Rice bran polysaccharides (RB) has a wide range of biological activities. However, it is rarely investigated as a food packaging material. The present study aimed to extract RB and prepare gelatin/RB (Ge/RB) film by solution casting method. The results indicated the incorporation of RB into films increased the roughness, tensile strength, and antioxidant activity but decreased the water contact angle of the films. In addition, the film could decrease the weight loss rate of the apple and prevent wound decay of the pear. Therefore, the Ge/RB food packaging film has great potential for food preservation.

米糠多糖具有广泛的生物活性。然而，很少研究它作为食品包装材料。本研究旨在通过溶液铸造法提取RB，制备明胶/RB （Ge/RB）薄膜。结果表明，RB的加入提高了膜的粗糙度、抗拉强度和抗氧化活性，但降低了膜的水接触角。此外，该膜还能降低苹果的失重率，防止梨的伤口腐烂。因此，Ge/RB食品包装膜具有很大的食品保鲜潜力。

The corrosion inhibition efficiency of 1,3-diethyl-2-thiourea (DETU) was evaluated in the inorganic-based Hydrazine-Based Reductive Ion Decontamination (HyBRID) solution under actual decontamination temperature conditions. The results showed that adding 0.01 wt% DETU reduced the corrosion depth and rate of carbon steel by ∼30 % (from 9.89 to 6.90 µm and 3.29 to 2.30 µm/h, respectively), and the dissolved iron concentration by ∼27 % (from 193.35 to 140.35 ppm). This inhibition effect is attributed to the strong adsorption of DETU on the carbon steel surface, forming a protective layer. These results suggest that DETU is an effective corrosion inhibitor for structural materials in pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWR) using inorganic acid-based chemical decontamination.

This study introduces numerical models for Cs₂PtI₆-based perovskite solar cells (PSCs) using SCAPS-1D to optimize the conduction band offset (CBO) and valence band offset (VBO) at the interfaces between the charge transport layers (CTL) and Cs₂PtI₆. The structure investigated includes FTO as the glass substrate, zinc-based materials as electron transport layers (ETLs), and kesterites as hole transport layers (HTLs) and Au as the back contact. We focused on interfaces where the configuration induced significant impacts on device efficiency by adjusting band alignments. At the IGZO/Cs₂PtI₆ interface, a favorable CBO facilitated spike formation, enhancing built-in potential and reducing recombination, a pattern also observed with ZnO and ZnSe interfaces. CZTS-based structures demonstrated the best performance with a J_sc of 28.5 mA/cm², a V_oc of 1.11 V, an FF of 82.86 %, and a PCE of 26.25 %. These insights suggest that careful interface engineering in Cs₂PtI₆ devices can significantly reduce common losses, guiding future performance improvements.

本研究利用 SCAPS-1D 引入了基于 Cs2PtI6 的包光体太阳能电池 (PSC) 的数值模型，以优化电荷传输层 (CTL) 与 Cs2PtI6 之间界面的导带偏移 (CBO) 和价带偏移 (VBO)。所研究的结构包括作为玻璃基底的 FTO、作为电子传输层（ETL）的锌基材料、作为空穴传输层（HTL）的钾盐以及作为背接触的金。我们重点研究了通过调整带排列配置对器件效率产生重大影响的界面。在 IGZO/Cs2PtI6 界面上，有利的 CBO 有利于尖峰的形成，提高了内置电势并减少了重组，在 ZnO 和 ZnSe 界面上也观察到了这种模式。基于 CZTS 的结构表现出最佳性能，其 Jsc 为 28.5 mA/cm2，Voc 为 1.11 V，FF 为 82.86 %，PCE 为 26.25 %。这些见解表明，在 Cs2PtI6 器件中精心设计的界面工程可以显著降低普通损耗，为未来的性能改进提供指导。
