Magnetic supercapacitors have garnered significant attention, with notable progress in recent years. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear and require further investigation for future energy storage applications. In this study, we designed and fabricated Mn-Fe2O3/reduced graphene oxide (Mn-Fe2O3/rGO) nanostructures by employing heteroatom doping and interface engineering. Theoretical calculations showed that incorporating Mn2+ into Fe2O3 modulates electron localization around Fe atoms, leading to spin polarization in Fe 3d orbital electrons. Our experiments demonstrated that the optimized Mn-Fe2O3/rGO nanostructure processes ferromagnetic properties with a negative magnetoresistance effect at room temperature, suggesting that substantial spin-polarized charges rapidly participate in surface charge–discharge reactions under an applied magnetic field. This phenomenon resulted in a remarkable specific capacitance of 2956.4 F g−1 at 1 A g−1, along with superior cyclic stability. Additionally, the asymmetric supercapacitor device achieved an energy density of 220.19 W h kg−1 at a power density of 3.93 kW kg−1, with excellent capacitance retention of 98.5 % after 5000 cycles. This work paves the way for improving the performance of magnetic supercapacitors based on metal oxide electrode materials.
磁性超级电容器备受关注,近年来取得了显著进展。然而,其基本机理仍不清楚,需要进一步研究,以适应未来的储能应用。在本研究中,我们利用杂原子掺杂和界面工程设计并制造了锰-Fe2O3/还原氧化石墨烯(Mn-Fe2O3/rGO)纳米结构。理论计算表明,在 Fe2O3 中掺入 Mn2+ 会改变铁原子周围的电子定位,从而导致铁 3d 轨道电子的自旋极化。我们的实验表明,优化的 Mn-Fe2O3/rGO 纳米结构具有铁磁特性,在室温下具有负磁阻效应,这表明在外加磁场作用下,大量自旋极化电荷迅速参与了表面电荷放电反应。这种现象导致在 1 A g-1 的条件下,比电容高达 2956.4 F g-1,并具有卓越的循环稳定性。此外,在功率密度为 3.93 kW kg-1 时,不对称超级电容器装置的能量密度达到 220.19 W h kg-1,5000 次循环后电容保持率高达 98.5%。这项工作为提高基于金属氧化物电极材料的磁性超级电容器的性能铺平了道路。

Methane (CH4) is the second most potent greenhouse gas that exists largely in low concentrations. This fact, coupled with its inert nature, brings both urgency and challenge for any mitigations (including thermo-catalytic oxidation). In this study, we address this challenge by synthesizing highly dispersed CuOx species (∼6 wt%) loaded on mordenite zeolite (MOR), and enhancing the catalytic performance for the thermal oxidation of low-concentration CH4. The optimized sample, Cu-MOR-11, demonstrates exceptional catalytic properties, including high activity with 100 % CH4 total oxidation to CO2 at 400 °C, low reaction temperature with a T10 at 230 °C and T90 at 350 °C, as well as excellent long-term stability and reusability over a 100-hour reaction period. These attributes make it a promising candidate for large scale CH4 oxidation applications. To elucidate the mechanisms behind the enhanced catalytic performance of Cu-MOR-11, we conclude, 1) the generation of more Brønsted acid sites which facilitated the absorption and dissociation of CH4; 2) the presence of Al3+ as acid sites in the MOR supports played a crucial role in achieving high CuOx species dispersion, acting as anchoring sites to effectively stabilize and disperse CuOx species, which provides more active sites; 3) variation in preparation environments (e.g., pH) led to different oxidation states of the catalysts, with alkaline conditions facilitating the deoxidation of CuOx species, resulting in more Cu+&Cu0 compared to CuO; 4) the presence of Brønsted acid sites which mitigated coking at low temperatures and prevented the loss of structural stability at high temperatures.

To address the low energy density of LiFePO4 (LFP) for electric vehicles and high-voltage energy storage, LiMn0.5Fe0.5PO4 (LMFP) provides a potential solution but faces performance degradation due to Mn3+-induced Jahn-Teller distortion and Mn ion dissolution during cycling. This study proposes a surface engineering strategy to enhance LMFP’s electrochemical performance by increasing surface iron concentration and reducing manganese content, based on the electronic differences between Mn3+ and Fe3+ in MO6 octahedra. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations confirmed the viability of this approach by analyzing volume changes and binding energies with HF during charging. Guided by DFT, an LMFP@LFP/C material was synthesized with a high-iron-concentration surface layer (∼2 nm), as observed through AC-STEM. Post-cycling TEM analysis and corrosion simulations demonstrated that LMFP@LFP/C suppresses Mn ion dissolution and stabilizes the crystal lattice compared to unmodified LMFP/C. Electrochemical tests showed that LMFP@LFP/C has superior electronic conductivity and faster lithium-ion diffusion. It delivered an initial discharge capacity of 150.82 mAh g−1 at 0.1C, surpassing LMFP/C (147.65 mAh g−1). At 1C, LMFP@LFP/C retained 95.85 % of its capacity after 500 cycles, significantly outperforming LMFP/C (74.18 %). This surface modification strategy advances phosphate-based cathode materials for electric vehicles and renewable energy applications.

Owing to the pressing requirement for advanced memory solutions driven by explosive data growth, nonvolatile and fast-operating 1S1R structured XPoint memory has become a prominent focus, with recent interest shifting towards the 1S structured selector-only memory. The use of chalcogenide-based materials in these technologies constrains the application of such memories because of their complex quaternary compositions. This study investigated the previously unreported potential of GaSe, a simple binary Se-based chalcogenide, for applications as a selector and phase-change memory (PCM). In this study, ε-GaSe thin films were deposited using thermal evaporation and subsequently annealed in a Se atmosphere for 1 and 2 h. These ε-GaSe thin film devices incorporated metal–insulator–metal construction to exhibit both selector and PCM characteristics. The ε-GaSe device that was Se-annealed for 1 h demonstrated superior performance with a lower threshold voltage and off current, high selectivity as a selector, and reduced set voltage and reset power as a PCM. These characteristics render the proposed device a highly promising candidate for dual selector/PCM applications. To explain the electrical behavior of the ε-GaSe device, we propose the conduction mechanism model depending on the Se-annealing time, which is related to the change in the physical properties of ε-GaSe.

Cobalt is emerging as the next-generation interconnect material to replace copper for integrated circuit sub-10 nm technology nodes. Due to its susceptibility to corrosion, identifying effective corrosion inhibitors for Co during the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is crucial. In this study, theoretical computations and experimental approaches were employed to investigate the corrosion inhibition effects of benzotriazole (BTA) and its derivatives—methylbenzotriazole (TTA) and 5-carboxybenzotriazole—on Co surfaces. Quantum chemical calculations and molecular dynamics simulations were used to reveal the corrosion mechanism at the atomic level. The computational findings were further validated by electrochemical experiments. Among the inhibitors studied, TTA exhibited the highest adsorption affinity for the Co surface, achieving an inhibition efficiency of up to 91.71 %. This is attributed to the formation of a dense protective layer on the Co surface through both physical adsorption via intermolecular forces and chemical adsorption via charge transfer. CMP experiments demonstrated that all three inhibitors significantly reduce the material removal rate (MRR) of Co. Notably, when the TTA concentration reaches 9 mM, the MRR is reduced to 132.64 nm/min, meeting the requirements for Co bulk polishing. These findings suggest that TTA is a highly promising Co corrosion inhibitor for slurry development in CMP processes.
钴正在成为取代铜的下一代互连材料,用于 10 纳米以下技术节点的集成电路。由于钴易腐蚀,在化学机械抛光(CMP)过程中确定有效的钴腐蚀抑制剂至关重要。本研究采用理论计算和实验方法研究了苯并三唑(BTA)及其衍生物-甲基苯并三唑(TTA)和 5-羧基苯并三唑对 Co 表面的缓蚀效果。量子化学计算和分子动力学模拟用于揭示原子水平的腐蚀机理。电化学实验进一步验证了计算结果。在所研究的抑制剂中,TTA 对 Co 表面的吸附亲和力最高,抑制效率高达 91.71%。这是因为通过分子间作用力的物理吸附和电荷转移的化学吸附,在 Co 表面形成了一层致密的保护层。CMP 实验表明,这三种抑制剂都能显著降低 Co 的材料去除率 (MRR),尤其是当 TTA 浓度达到 9 mM 时,MRR 降至 132.64 nm/min,满足了 Co 的批量抛光要求。这些研究结果表明,TTA 是一种非常有前途的 Co 腐蚀抑制剂,可用于 CMP 工艺中的浆料开发。

Modulating the photoelectric properties of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) through defect engineering and heterometal doping is crucial for its potential applications in electronic and optoelectronic devices. Herein, a comprehensive overview is provided on the advancements of two-dimensional materials with a ternary structure comprising sulfur (S), molybdenum (Mo), and tungsten (W) in the field of optoelectronic device. A ternary W-P/MoS2 (P: direct current target power) nanomaterial was designed and synthesized using W interior doping engineering induced S vacancies. The experimental results reveal that the introduction of W metal causes lattice distortion in MoS2, leading to the formation of S vacancies within W-P/MoS2. Compared to pure MoS2, W-P/MoS2 with S vacancies demonstrates enhanced reverse saturable absorption and optical limiting. Density functional theory calculations suggest that the S vacancies introduced by W doping in MoS2 introduce defect energy levels, which are believed to be the reason for the improved nonlinear optical (NLO) performance of W-P/MoS2. Furthermore, transient absorption spectroscopy reveals the photophysical model of carrier relaxation and presents an explanation for the optimized NLO properties of W-P/MoS2. This work provides a novel strategy for the design and synthesis of ternary transition metal dichalcogenides and modulating the NLO properties by doping transition metal-mediated vacancies.
通过缺陷工程和杂金属掺杂来调节二硫化钼(MoS2)的光电特性对其在电子和光电设备中的潜在应用至关重要。本文全面概述了由硫(S)、钼(Mo)和钨(W)组成的三元结构二维材料在光电器件领域的研究进展。利用 W 内部掺杂工程诱导 S 空位,设计并合成了一种三元 W-P/MoS2(P:直流目标功率)纳米材料。实验结果表明,W 金属的引入会导致 MoS2 的晶格畸变,从而在 W-P/MoS2 中形成 S 空位。与纯 MoS2 相比,含有 S 空位的 W-P/MoS2 具有更强的反向饱和吸收和光学限制。密度泛函理论计算表明,MoS2 中掺入 W 后形成的 S 空位引入了缺陷能级,这被认为是 W-P/MoS2 非线性光学(NLO)性能提高的原因。此外,瞬态吸收光谱揭示了载流子弛豫的光物理模型,并解释了 W-P/MoS2 优化非线性光学性能的原因。这项工作为设计和合成三元过渡金属二钙化物以及通过掺杂过渡金属介导的空位来调节 NLO 性能提供了一种新策略。

In this study, high-pressure solidification (HPS) was used to systematically investigate the microstructure evolution and corrosion resistance of the designed eutectic high-entropy alloy CoCrFeNi(TiNb)0.325 under ambient pressure, 4 GPa and 7 GPa. With increasing solidification pressure, the eutectic component points continue to move toward the upper left of the phase diagram, and the microstructure of the EHEA changes from eutectic under AP to hypereutectic at 4 GPa. Finally, the eutectic lamellar structure disappears under 7 GPa pressure, and the microstructure shows a divorced eutectic morphology. Mott–Schottky and XPS analyses revealed that the passivation film defect density of the HPS sample was lower than that of the other samples, but because the increase in the FCC/Laves phase spacing promoted pitting nucleation, the sample was difficult to repassivate, thus weakening the pitting corrosion resistance of the HPS sample. This work provides new insights into the relationships among pressure, microstructure, and corrosion performance.

The transition from an oil-wet to a water-wet calcite surface is crucial for enhanced oil recovery and can be influenced by low salinity (LS) water. While previous studies have explored the effects of LS water or single-ion solutions on rock-oil interfaces, the impact of excess active ions in LS on wettability remains uncertain. This work aims to determine whether Ca2+ or Mg2+ ions are more effective in altering wettability and oil recovery and to identify the optimal salinity for the Nujol-calcite system. Oil-wet calcite surfaces were characterized before and after treatment with LS water rich in Ca2+ or Mg2+, diluted 25, 50, 75, and 100 times (LS25, LS50, LS75, and LS100) compared to formation water. LS75, with a salinity of 3173 ppm, was the most effective for oil removal, achieving 81 % oil recovery. LS75Mg removed 75 % of the oil, and LS75Ca removed 65 %, as confirmed by ATR-FTIR and contact angle measurements. LS75Mg also showed a larger contact angle (∼160°) than LS75Ca (145°), indicating better oil detachment. Surface changes, including dissolution and oil fragmentation (especially with LS75Mg and LS100Mg), were observed via topographical analysis. XPS results revealed higher Na+, Cl−, and Mg2+ levels on treated surfaces, with LS50Mg showing the most significant reduction of surface carbon content. While a combination of Ca2+ and Mg2+ at optimal salinity enhances oil removal, excess Mg2+ alone is less effective. The competitive mechanisms behind oil removal and their dependence on brine composition are discussed.

To ameliorate energy storage and conversion, metal synergy, and structural stability, bimetal-assembled metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are delved into. Augmented surface area, pseudo capacitance, and the ability to alter the MOF edifice of layered oxide have drawn interest in MOF-based oxide layered structures. Simple microwave and hydrothermal techniques use dimethyl formamide and water as solvents and annealing methods to generate the bimetallic organic framework’s Co3V2O8 and Co3VO4 cathode material. Those customized shapes boost redox sites and reduce ion electron distance. Due to cobalt’s faradaic process and vanadium’s highly layered attributes, supercapacitor electrode response is significant. Co3V2O8 has 1391F/g specific capacitance at 2 mV/s scan rate and 1309F/g at 4 mA/cm2 implemented current value. After 10,000 cycles, the cathode material depicts 89 % capacity retention and 98 % coulombic efficiency. Biowaste-derived activated carbon is combined with a Co3V2O8 cathode for asymmetric supercapacitor storage. That device works on 3 V windows with ionic liquid gel polymer electrolyte. With a maximum specific energy of 329.3 Wh/kg and specific power of 15250 W/kg, the achieved galvanometric capacitance is 263.5F/g and 220 mAh/g at the 9 mA/cm2 current and showed 88.5 % potential stability after 10,000 cycles. These findings corroborate its use as a supercapacitor cathode.

This study investigated the high-temperature crack resistance properties of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) coatings prepared in electrolytes with varying amounts of Y3+ addition, within a temperature range from 800 °C to 1000 °C. The flexibility-enhanced YSZ coating enabled by obtaining tetragonal zirconia (t-ZrO2) and cubic zirconia (c-ZrO2) coherent interfaces with high stress transfer efficiency, which is achieved by adjusting the phase composition in ZrO2 coatings. The high-quality toughened YSZ coating with 59 % lower crack density compared with traditional ZrO2 coating. This phenomenon is attributed to the c-ZrO2/t-ZrO2 coherent interface alleviates interfacial deformation at high temperatures and maintains a good stress transfer capability through its stable structure, which helps to disperse the thermal stress within the coating and inhibits crack propagation. This work provides a straightforward strategy for tailoring ZrO2 coatings crack propagation resistance property at high temperatures by interface enhancement.
