Hot corrosion significantly impacts the service life of TiAl-based components in aero-engine environments. In this work, the hot corrosion behavior of Ti45Al8Nb alloy is systematically and comparatively investigated when exposed to molten Na2SO4 at 900 °C and molten Na2SO4–NaCl (75:25 wt%) at 700–900 °C. Under identical experimental conditions, the mixed-salt environment causes markedly higher material loss, severe scale spallation, and intensified microstructural damage compared with pure Na2SO4, and the corrosion severity exhibits a strong temperature dependence. In pure Na2SO4, a relatively compact multilayer corrosion scale composed of Ti-, Al-, and Nb-rich phases develops, in which Nb promotes stratified oxide formation that suppresses inward diffusion of corrosive species. In contrast, in the NaCl-containing environment, Cl ions trigger chlorine-induced self-sustaining reactions at the metal–scale interface, reducing scale adherence and accelerating degradation. Meanwhile, Nb participates in the acidic dissolution of Al2O3, while sulfur species contribute to internal sulfidation, primarily through TiS formation, leading to enhanced pit nucleation and deepening. These mechanisms collectively destabilize the corrosion scale, intensify intergranular attack, and result in a significantly higher degradation rate.
热腐蚀严重影响航空发动机中钛合金部件的使用寿命。本文系统、比较地研究了Ti45Al8Nb合金在900 °C熔融Na2SO4和700-900 °C熔融Na2SO4 - nacl(75:25 wt%)下的热腐蚀行为。在相同的实验条件下,与纯Na2SO4相比,混合盐环境导致的材料损失量明显增加,水垢剥落严重,微结构损伤加剧,腐蚀严重程度表现出较强的温度依赖性。在纯Na2SO4中,形成由富Ti、富Al和富Nb相组成的相对致密的多层腐蚀层,其中Nb促进层状氧化物的形成,抑制腐蚀性物质向内扩散。相比之下,在含nacl环境中,Cl−离子在金属尺度界面引发氯诱导的自维持反应,减少了尺度粘附并加速了降解。同时,Nb参与了Al2O3的酸性溶解,而硫种主要通过ti的形成参与了内部硫化,导致坑形核增强和加深。这些机制共同破坏了腐蚀规模的稳定,加剧了晶间侵蚀,并导致了明显更高的降解率。

The layered metal dichalcogenides (LMDs) are promising candidates for efficiently detecting H2S gas. However, little attention has been devoted to revealing the effect of different semiconductor types in heterostructures with the same components on gas sensing performance. Herein, we constructed n-n and p-n type SnS2/MoS2 heterostructures by hybridizing n- and p-type semiconducting MoS2 with pristine SnS2. Compared to pristine SnS2 and MoS2, the formation of SnS2/MoS2 heterostructures showed a great improvement in H2S sensing performance at room temperature. In particular, the n-n type SnS2/MoS2 exhibited the highest response values, which were 47.9- and 4.4-folds higher, respectively, than the pristine SnS2 and MoS2 toward 1 ppm H2S. The mechanism of distinct-type SnS2/MoS2 heterostructures on H2S sensing is attributed to the synergistic effect of energy level alignment and heterojunction type. The results of n-n and p-n heterojunction effecting H2S sensing would provide guidance to the steps of enhancing the sensing properties of LMDs-based sensors and be extended to other applications
层状金属二硫化物(LMDs)是有效检测H2S气体的有希望的候选者。然而,对于具有相同组分的异质结构中不同半导体类型对气敏性能的影响却很少有人关注。本文通过将n型和p型半导体MoS2与原始SnS2杂化,构建了n-n型和p-n型SnS2/MoS2异质结构。与原始SnS2和MoS2相比,SnS2/MoS2异质结构的形成在室温下对H2S的传感性能有很大提高。其中,n-n型SnS2/MoS2对1 ppm H2S的响应值最高,分别是原始SnS2和MoS2的47.9倍和4.4倍。不同类型的SnS2/MoS2异质结构对H2S传感的机制归因于能级取向和异质结类型的协同效应。n-n和p-n异质结对H2S传感的影响将为提高lmds传感器的传感性能提供指导,并可扩展到其他应用

Non-magnetic oxide/Co-based heterostructures with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) are highly attractive for energy-efficient spintronic applications, owing to the tunability of their magnetic properties via external electric fields. SrTiO3 (STO)/Co systems, in particular, offer strong potential due to the high dielectric constant of STO, which enables efficient voltage control of interfacial magnetism by interface charge accumulation. Although PMA has been previously observed, its microscopic origin remains unclear. Here, we investigate the mechanism responsible for PMA in Co/X (X = Pd, Pt) thin films on STO(1 1 1) and STO(1 0 0) substrates with mixed terminations. The results indicate a strong influence of STO orientation, reflected in different surface reactivity, as well as of the nature of the capping layer. These findings shed light on the interfacial factors that control PMA in STO/Co/X (X = Pd, Pt) heterostructures, suggesting that optimal PMA can be achieved by employing STO(1 1 1) substrates with a pure SrO34- termination, thereby enabling the development of advanced energy-efficient spintronic devices.
具有垂直磁各向异性(PMA)的非磁性氧化物/钴基异质结构由于其磁性在外加电场下的可调性,在节能自旋电子应用中具有很高的吸引力。特别是SrTiO3 (STO)/Co体系,由于STO的高介电常数提供了强大的电位,这使得通过界面电荷积累可以有效地控制界面磁性的电压。虽然PMA之前已经被观察到,但其微观起源仍不清楚。在这里,我们研究了Co/X (X = Pd, Pt)薄膜在STO(1 11 1)和STO(1 0 0)底物上具有混合末端的PMA机制。结果表明,STO取向的强烈影响,反映在不同的表面反应性上,以及封盖层的性质。这些发现揭示了STO/Co/X (X = Pd, Pt)异质结构中控制PMA的界面因素,表明采用纯SrO34-末端的STO(11 11)衬底可以实现最佳PMA,从而实现先进节能自旋电子器件的开发。

With the rapid evolution of wearable electronic technologies, single-functional films have become insufficient to satisfy the increasingly complex and diversified performance requirements of next-generation devices. Nevertheless, achieving the cross-scale integration of materials and the balance of multiple functionalities remains a significant challenge in the design of multifunctional flexible films. To address this issue, a flexible multifunctional composite film (LMS) with a brick–sand architecture was fabricated via a facile vacuum filtration approach, integrating liquid metal (LM), MXene, and sodium alginate (SA) to achieve synergistically enhanced properties. The unique brick–sand structure composed of three functional components effectively reinforces interfacial friction and a variety of noncovalent interactions, including hydrogen bonding, dipole–dipole interactions, and van der Waals forces, thereby imparting the film with superior mechanical robustness. Owing to the intrinsic high electrical conductivity of MXene and the hierarchical layered configuration of the composite, the LMS film exhibits remarkable electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and stress-sensing capabilities. Furthermore, liquid metal microdroplets are uniformly distributed between the layers, forming an in-plane dual percolation network with MXene that simultaneously promotes electrical and thermal conduction, thus enhancing electro-/photothermal conversion efficiency. As a result, the LMS film demonstrates outstanding comprehensive performance, including high tensile strength (98.49 MPa), excellent EMI shielding effectiveness (45 dB, 28,347.17 dB cm2 g⁻1), efficient electrothermal heating (6 V, 73.3 °C), and superior photothermal conversion (71.8 °C within 280 s). These findings highlight the promising potential of the LMS film as a multifunctional, flexible shielding material for next-generation wearable electronic devices.
随着可穿戴电子技术的快速发展,单一功能的薄膜已经无法满足下一代设备日益复杂和多样化的性能要求。然而,实现材料的跨尺度集成和多种功能的平衡仍然是多功能柔性薄膜设计的重大挑战。为了解决这一问题,通过简单的真空过滤方法制备了具有砖砂结构的柔性多功能复合膜(LMS),将液态金属(LM)、MXene和海藻酸钠(SA)整合在一起,以实现协同增强的性能。由三种功能组分组成的独特砖砂结构有效地加强了界面摩擦和各种非共价相互作用,包括氢键、偶极子-偶极子相互作用和范德华力,从而赋予薄膜优越的机械坚固性。由于MXene固有的高导电性和复合材料的分层结构,LMS薄膜具有显著的电磁干扰屏蔽(EMI)和应力传感能力。此外,液态金属微滴均匀分布在层间,与MXene形成平面内双渗透网络,同时促进了电导和热传导,从而提高了电/光热转换效率。因此,LMS电影展示了出色的综合性能,包括抗拉强度高(98.49 MPa),优秀的EMI屏蔽效能(45 dB, 28347 .17 dB cm2 g⁻1),高效电热加热(6 V, 73.3 °C),和优越的光热光谱分析转换(71.8 °C 280 s)内。这些发现突出了LMS薄膜作为下一代可穿戴电子设备的多功能柔性屏蔽材料的巨大潜力。

Herein, a novel g-C3N5/Fe3O4composite was successfully fabricated and characterized,employing discarded metal oil containers as an economical and eco-friendly iron source for synthesizing Fe3O4nanoparticles. The integration of g-C3N5, which features a narrower band gap and superior surface adsorption capability compared to the conventional g-C3N4, notably improved the composites’ visible light absorption and dye adsorption properties. Among all the synthesized samples, the FeGCN 1:2 composite, with the highest Fe3O4loading, demonstrated exceptional photocatalytic efficiency, achieving 98% methylene blue degradation in the presence of visible light within a short duration, having a rate constant of pseudo-first-order kinetics of 0.02303 min−1. Methylene blue, which is a cationic dye, has been used here as a model water pollutant for photocatalytic performance evaluation of the engineered material. The remarkable photocatalytic enhancement was mainly attributed to the synergistic interplay between g-C3N5and Fe3O4, which promoted effective charge carrier separation and facilitated the formation of reactive oxidative species. Furthermore, utilizing waste-derived Fe3O4not only minimized production costs but also promoted environmental sustainability by valorizing waste materials. Consequently, this study offers a green, cost-effective, and efficient strategy for the development of advanced photocatalysts for dye degradation and other environmental purification applications.

In this study, a novel, sustainable two-step carbon valorization method was developed to synthesis activated carbon (S) and carbon quantum dots (CQDs) from partially combusted coconut shell charcoal (C) for the integrated adsorption and catalytic degradation of aniline blue (AB) and treatment of textile industry effluent. The synthesized activated charcoal exhibited a highly porous, sponge-like structure with a carbon content of 90.4%, as confirmed by FE-SEM and EDX analyses, and showed excellent surface activation characteristics. FTIR analysis showed oxygenated functional groups (O–H, C–H, C=O, and C–O) in C, when activated to S increased the surface reactivity by enhancing C–O stretching while reducing O–H and C–H signals. Along with this optimized surface chemistry, S demonstrated an adsorption capacity of 240.4 mg g⁻1 for 1000 mg L⁻1 of AB, achieving 96.16% dye removal and equilibrium within 30 min. The adsorption data fitted well with the Temkin isotherm (r2 = 0.96) and pseudo-second-order kinetic model (r2 = 0.99), indicating adsorption is controlled by an adsorbate-adsorbent interaction with the availability of functional groups on the surface of the sorbent, contributing to the speed of the adsorption. CQDs synthesized hydrothermally from the same carbon precursor exhibited a good colloidal stability, a 5% quantum yield, an average size of 5.1 nm, and a zeta potential of − 24.26 mV. The CQDs demonstrated efficient catalytic activity, achieving 91.15% degradation of AB within 4 min under visible light. Further, the synthesized activated charcoal retained a high desorption ability (45%) even after three cycles, highlighting its reusability. The practical viability of this system was validated through the combined treatment of textile effluent using S and CQDs, resulting in a significant (p < 0.05) reduction in dye concentration and an improvement in seed germination rates from 20% (untreated) to 73.33% (treated).

本研究开发了一种新的、可持续的两步碳价化方法,以部分燃烧的椰子壳木炭(C)为原料合成活性炭(S)和碳量子点(CQDs),用于苯胺蓝(AB)的综合吸附和催化降解以及纺织工业废水的处理。FE-SEM和EDX分析表明,合成的活性炭具有高孔隙度、海绵状结构,碳含量为90.4%,具有良好的表面活化特性。FTIR分析表明,C中的氧合官能团(O - h、C - h、C=O和C - O)被活化为S后,通过增强C - O的拉伸而降低O - h和C - h信号,从而提高了C - O的表面反应活性。经过优化的表面化学反应,S对1000 mg L - 1 AB的吸附量为240.4 mg g - 1,在30 min内达到96.16%的脱色和平衡。吸附数据符合Temkin等温线(r2 = 0.96)和拟二级动力学模型(r2 = 0.99),表明吸附受吸附剂-吸附剂相互作用控制,吸附表面官能团的可用性决定了吸附速度。用相同的碳前驱体水热合成的CQDs具有良好的胶体稳定性,量子产率为5%,平均尺寸为5.1 nm, zeta电位为 − 24.26 mV。CQDs表现出高效的催化活性,在4 min内对AB的降解率达到91.15%。此外,合成的活性炭在三次循环后仍保持较高的解吸能力(45%),突出了其可重复使用性。通过S和CQDs联合处理纺织废水,验证了该系统的实际可行性,染料浓度显著降低(p <; 0.05),种子发芽率从20%(未处理)提高到73.33%(处理)。本研究提出了一种可扩展和可持续的方法,利用农业废弃物净化染料污染废水,具有很强的环境修复潜力。

The rapid recombination of photogenerated charge carriers in both the bulk phase and at interfaces remains a primary obstacle in photocatalysis. Herein, a novel magnetic-field-responsive S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst was constructed via the in-situ growth of CuFe2O4 on Fe-doped BiOCl (denoted as FBOC/CFO). Under visible light assisted by a 100 mT magnetic field (MF), the optimized FBOC/CFO catalyst achieved 94.8% removal of doxycycline (DC) within 40 min, corresponding to a reaction rate constant 4.4 times higher than that of pure BiOCl and 1.6 times higher than that without MF. Detailed characterizations and theoretical calculations revealed a proposed synergistic spin-space double regulation mechanism: the external MF enhanced bulk charge separation via the Lorentz force and spin polarization effects, while the interfacial built-in electric field (IEF) within the heterojunction drove directional spatial charge transfer. This dual regulation drastically suppressed charge recombination, substantially promoted the generation of ·O2 and ·OH, and led to the efficient degradation and detoxification of DC. Furthermore, the FBOC/CFO system demonstrated excellent stability and magnetic recoverability, broad pH applicability (3–11), and versatile pollutant removal efficacy in complex water matrices. This work presents a novel design strategy for high-performance photocatalysts through the rational coupling of external field manipulation and heterojunction engineering.
光生成的载流子在体相和界面上的快速重组仍然是光催化的主要障碍。本文通过在fe掺杂BiOCl(记为FBOC/CFO)上原位生长CuFe2O4,构建了一种新型的磁场响应型s型异质结光催化剂。在100 mT磁场的可见光辅助下,优化后的FBOC/CFO催化剂在40 min内对强力霉素(DC)的去除率达到94.8%,反应速率常数比纯BiOCl高4.4倍,比无MF时高1.6倍。详细的表征和理论计算揭示了一种协同的自旋-空间双调控机制:外源磁场通过洛伦兹力和自旋极化效应增强体电荷分离,而异质结内的界面内置电场(IEF)驱动定向空间电荷转移。这种双重调控极大地抑制了电荷重组,极大地促进了·O2 -和·OH的生成,并导致了DC的高效降解和解毒。此外,FBOC/CFO体系在复杂的水基质中表现出优异的稳定性和磁性可恢复性,广泛的pH适用性(3-11),以及多种污染物去除效果。本文通过外场操纵与异质结工程的合理耦合,提出了一种新型的高性能光催化剂设计策略。

Interfacial microenvironment engineering triggered by rapid silicon doping for promoted methanol electrooxidation 快速硅掺杂促进甲醇电氧化引发的界面微环境工程

The electrocatalytic methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) faces challenges, such as low OH concentration at the catalyst interface, along with the poisoning of active sites by competitively adsorbed water molecules. Although heteroatom doping is an established strategy to enhance MOR activity, conventional methods primarily focus on electronic structure modulation and often involve complex synthesis. Here, we report an ultrafast silicon doping strategy, via a mere 20-second room-temperature immersion, to construct Co-O-Si bonds in Co(OH)2 on nickel foam (Si-Co(OH)2/NF). This technique enables the synergistic regulation of both the electronic structure and, more critically, the local interfacial microenvironment. The introduced Co-O-Si bonds induce lattice strain and generate oxygen vacancies, promoting electron transfer. In situ ATR-SEIRAS studies provide direct evidence that silicon doping establishes a hydrophobic interfacial microenvironment, which effectively mitigates water poisoning and facilitates OH transport to active sites. Consequently, the Si-Co(OH)2/NF catalyst exhibits superior MOR activity, achieving 100 mA cm−2 at 1.41 V vs. RHE, significantly lower than the 1.56 V required for the Co(OH)2/NF, while maintaining high formate selectivity. This work highlights the crucial yet often overlooked role of microenvironment engineering in doping strategies and presents an exceptionally facile and efficient pathway for advanced catalyst design.
电催化甲醇氧化反应(MOR)面临着催化剂界面OH -浓度低、水分子竞争性吸附导致活性位点中毒等挑战。虽然杂原子掺杂是提高MOR活性的既定策略,但传统的方法主要集中在电子结构调制上,并且通常涉及复杂的合成。在这里,我们报告了一种超快硅掺杂策略,通过仅仅20秒的室温浸泡,在泡沫镍上的Co(OH)2中构建Co- o- si键(Si-Co(OH)2/NF)。这种技术能够协同调节电子结构,更重要的是,局部界面微环境。引入的Co-O-Si键诱导晶格应变并产生氧空位,促进电子转移。原位ATR-SEIRAS研究提供了直接证据,证明硅掺杂建立了疏水界面微环境,有效减轻了水中毒,促进了OH -转运到活性位点。因此,Si-Co(OH)2/NF催化剂表现出优异的MOR活性,在1.41 V比RHE下达到100 mA cm - 2,显著低于Co(OH)2/NF所需的1.56 V,同时保持了高甲酸选择性。这项工作强调了微环境工程在掺杂策略中至关重要但经常被忽视的作用,并为先进的催化剂设计提供了一个非常简单和有效的途径。

Magnéli-phase ceramics (MC), which combine high electrical conductivity and structural stability, are promising materials for electrodes in electrochemical devices. In this work, titanium dioxide (TiO2) films were formed by laser irradiation in air on porous MC substrates for photoelectrode applications. The formation of TiO2 on the laser-treated surfaces was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). XPS analysis further revealed reduced titanium species (Ti3+/Ti2+) in the subsurface regions of both treated and untreated ceramics, indicating intrinsic chemical heterogeneity. The laser-fabricated structures, evaluated as photoelectrodes in a photoelectrochemical cell, exhibited photocurrent densities of 0.16 mA cm−2 under blue LED illumination (455 nm) and 43 μA cm−2 under AM 1.5G irradiation, both measured at 1.23 V vs. RHE. The MC substrates, synthesized under vacuum (21 kPa) at 1000–1350 °C from TiO2 mixed with the polymer Glycix, simultaneously acted as a carbon source, foaming agent, and binder. This study reveals that laser-induced TiO2 formation on Magnéli-phase ceramics offers a promising strategy for designing stable and conductive photoelectrodes.

This study investigates the intercalation of ytterbium (Yb) beneath the graphene grown on 4H–SiC(0001) as a strategy to modulate the electronic properties of the graphene/SiC system. A combination of theoretical and experimental methods was employed to elucidate the mechanisms governing Yb intercalation and its impact on doping behavior. Theoretical calculation reveals that Yb preferentially intercalates beneath the buffer and graphene layers, with the most energetically favorable configurations inducing significant charge transfer and n-type doping. At specific concentrations, intercalation leads to the emergence of a Van Hove singularity near the Fermi level, offering a pathway to engineer flat-band electronic states. Experimental results confirm that intercalation may occur already at room temperature and is highly sensitive to both Yb coverage and system annealing at various temperatures.
