Multifaceted balance makes the design of ceramics difficult but is urgently needed. This work purposes to grow uniform edge-rich graphene (ERG) on alumina (Al2O3/ERG) in-situ, then constructs a discontinuous conductive, strengthening and toughening network of crosslinked ERG by mixing Al2O3/ERG with Al2O3 and sintering. Under the guarantee of the tight-bound covalent interface, ERG and doping Al2O3 strengthen and toughen the ceramic by synergistic effect of weak and strong interface. And doping Al2O3 interrupts the conductive network of ERG to improve the impedance matching and endow material with moderate electromagnetic wave (EMW) loss capacity. The optimal flexural strength and fracture toughness of the composite ceramic reach 333.04 MPa and 12.43 MPa⋅m1/2, respectively. Meanwhile, it can absorb 80 % or more of the incident EMW in X-band with a matching thickness of 2 mm. This work takes full advantage of ERG to prepare load-bearing EMW absorbing ceramics, which expands the idea for material design.

Hydrogels hold great potential for use in intelligent packaging, yet they often suffer from limited functionality and inadequate mechanical strength when applied to anticounterfeiting and freshness monitoring. In this study, we present a straightforward method to create a multifunctional hydrogel by in-situ polymerizing acrylic acid (PAA) within a gelatin-Al3+ system. The resulting hydrogels exhibited an elongation at break of over 1200 %, a tensile stress of 1.20 MPa, and impressive toughness reaching 5.15 MJ/m3, significantly outperforming traditional gelatin-based hydrogels that typically achieve less than 800 % strain and below 1 MPa stress. These hydrogels also showed exceptional antifatigue and tear resistance, with a tearing energy of 5200 J/m2, greatly exceeding the 1000 J/m2 standard of typical double network hydrogels, and were capable of supporting weights 1560 times their own mass. The strong hydrogen bonding between the –COOH groups of PAA and the –NH2 groups of gelatins contributed to an upper critical solution temperature above 40°C, with adaptable PAA content allowing for anticounterfeiting applications. The hydrogel could encode information such as self-erasing numbers, QR codes, and ASCII binary codes, changing its encoded data with temperature shifts and erasing at room temperature to enhance data security. Additionally, it exhibited potent antibacterial properties against S. aureus and E. coli, immobilized anthocyanin as an ammonia-responsive indicator, and accurately tracked salmon spoilage by correlating color changes with total volatile basic nitrogen content. These characteristics make the hydrogel highly suitable for smart packaging applications within the food industry.

The construction of heterojunctions between non-noble-metal based compounds affords a scheme for accelerating the reaction kinetics of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) without using precious mental materials, which is extremely important but remains challenging. Herein, the heterogeneous structure between Fe60Co10Ni10Cr10Mn10 medium-entropy alloy (MEA) and FeS2 is developed by a mechanical alloying approach. The resulting MEA-30 wt%FeS2 delivers a high OER activity with a low overpotential of 261.6 mV at 10 mA/cm2, along with Tafel slope of 52.7 mV/dec in 1.0 mol/L KOH solution, superior to the commercial RuO2. The combination of detailed characterization techniques and density functional theory (DFT) calculation reveals that the heterojunctions between Fe-based MEA and FeS2 generates the synergistic effect on the activation and formation steps of OOH*, thus promoting the OER reaction kinetics. Furthermore, the abundant active sites provided by the reconstructions of MEA-30 wt%FeS2 during OER process also contributes to the catalytic performance. This work greatly expands the application scope of medium-entropy materials and provides a new method for the fabrication of novel heterogeneous electrocatalyst of Fe-based MEA and FeS2.
在非贵金属基化合物之间构建异质结提供了一种在不使用贵金属材料的情况下加速氧进化反应(OER)反应动力学的方案,这一点极为重要,但仍然具有挑战性。本文通过机械合金化方法,在 Fe60Co10Ni10Cr10Mn10 中熵合金(MEA)和 FeS2 之间建立了异质结构。由此得到的 MEA-30 wt%FeS2 具有很高的 OER 活性,在 10 mA/cm2 的条件下过电位低至 261.6 mV,在 1.0 mol/L KOH 溶液中的 Tafel 斜坡为 52.7 mV/dec,优于商用 RuO2。结合详细的表征技术和密度泛函理论(DFT)计算发现,铁基 MEA 和 FeS2 之间的异质结对 OOH* 的活化和形成步骤产生了协同效应,从而促进了 OER 反应动力学。此外,在 OER 过程中,MEA-30 wt%FeS2 重构所提供的丰富活性位点也有助于提高催化性能。这项工作大大拓展了中等熵材料的应用范围,并为制备新型铁基 MEA 和 FeS2 异质电催化剂提供了一种新方法。

Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) have garnered significant attention as crucial protective components for turbine blades. However, the current use of TBCs is limited by their singular functionality and the inability to accurately obtain the temperature gradient distribution within the coatings. Addressing the aforementioned issues, this paper proposes an intelligent thermal barrier coating embedded with thin-film thermocouples. This method not only provides effective thermal protection but also facilitates the precise measurement of the internal temperature gradient within the coating. To mitigate the thermal mismatch in TBCs under high-temperature environments, which can compromise their lifespan, this study employs multi-objective optimization of structural parameters to design an optimal coating thickness. This strategy ensures both superior thermal protection and extended service life. The intelligent temperature-sensing TBCs were fabricated using atmospheric plasma spraying and magnetron sputtering, followed by comprehensive characterization. To validate the performance of the intelligent temperature-sensing TBCs, static tests were conducted in a muffle furnace. The results demonstrated that the sensors exhibit excellent repeatability and high-temperature durability. Furthermore, a test platform replicating the thermal shock conditions of an engine environment was developed. This platform confirmed that the intelligent temperature-sensing TBCs are capable of accurately measuring the internal temperature gradient within the coating under engine-like conditions, offering a novel methodology for engine monitoring and diagnostics.

Calcium peroxide (CaO2) is commonly used as a hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) donor to eliminate bacterial infections. However, the rapid dissociation of CaO2 and the explosive release of H2O2 have limited the development of CaO2 in the antibacterial field. Therefore, a series of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) functionalized bacteria-triggered smart hydrogels (CSA-H) that integrate sustained release of nanoparticles and localized chemodynamic sterilization were constructed. The pH-responsive hydrogel formed through the Schiff base reaction enables the responsive release of CaO2 nanoparticles while simultaneously regulating the concentration of H2O2 within the bacterial infection microenvironment. AgNPs are capable of reacting with H2O2 under mildly acidic conditions to produce hydroxyl radicals with enhanced antimicrobial activity. The antimicrobial results demonstrated that AgNPs functionalized silicon dioxide-coated calcium peroxide (CaO2@SiO2/AgNPs) nanoparticles exhibited enhanced bactericidal activity compared to AgNPs or CaO2 alone. Furthermore, CSA-H hydrogels exhibited significant antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli under the dual effect of AgNPs and pH-driven Fenton-like reactions. This chemodynamic antibacterial platform is environmentally responsive and provides a promising strategy for creating multifunctional hydrogels loaded with nano-enzymes, thus advancing the development of AgNPs in chemodynamic-antibacterial related applications.

Passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) is a promising approach to address energy, environmental, and safety issues caused by global warming, with high emissivity in a transparent atmospheric window and high reflectivity in the solar spectrum. However, most demonstrations of PDRC rely mainly on complex and expensive spectral selective nanophotonic structures, requiring specialized photonic structures that are both expensive and difficult to obtain. The superiorities of low-cost, abundant resources, renewability, and high value-added biomass resources prompt Gleditsia sinensis polysaccharides (GSP) to be used in thermal emission materials to explore further the characteristics of regulating object temperature within a specific range without any external energy consumption. The three-layer thermal emission film (PDMS3PG3/t4) obtained by the scalable scraping method has high transparency, hydrophobicity (114.2°), and super flexibility. The spectral variations of non-selective PDMS3PG3/t4 (1.0 wt% GSP, 800 μm thickness) in the 3–5 μm and 8–13 μm waveband ranges were discussed in detail, and high emissivities of 69.1 % and 92.2 % were obtained, respectively. PDMS3PG3/t4 was appointed a mobile phone screen film and experimented with a 4.9 °C average temperature difference below ambient temperature, materializing prime PDRC and desiring to broaden the passive cooling technology and reduce the global energy burden.

The core–shell structure often exhibits unique properties, resulting in superior physical and chemical performance distinct from individual component in the field of photocatalysis. However, traditional prepared methods such as template synthesis and layer-by-layer self-assembly are relatively complex. Therefore, it is necessary to explore an efficient and expedient approach. Here, we have proposed a convenient method to gradually destroy the terephthalic acid (BDC) of MIL-125 from the outer to inner layers through hydrothermal stirring, followed by reassembling with photosensitive 2-amino-terephthalic acid (BDC-NH2) into the exposed Ti-oxo clusters left by the BDC to create photocatalysts featuring a core–shell configuration. The special core–shell sample with the analogous mixture of MIL-125 and MIL-125-NH2 function as a high-performance dual-functional photocatalyst for hydrogen generation and NO elimination. The optimal core–shell material (M-125-45-N) exhibits an outstanding photocatalytic hydrogen production rate of 3.74 mmol·g−1·h−1 and an excellent photocatalytic NO removal rate of 70.15 %. The apparent quantum yield (AQY) value and solar-to-hydrogen energy conversion efficiency (STH) at specific wavelengths are also investigated. The Density functional theory (DFT) calculation, In-situ Fourier transform infrared (In-situ FT-IR) and Electron spin resonance (ESR) have suggested that the enhanced photocatalytic activity of optimal core–shell material arised from its stronger adsorption capacity towards reactants, promoting the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) conducive to photocatalytic reactions. This study represents the first investigation of a dual functional core–shell MOFs formed via ligand-defect reassembly, showcasing the excellent efficacy in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution and NO removal, which contributes to the feasible development of novel dual-functional photocatalysts with core–shell structures.

Novel battery separators based on poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoroethylene-chlorofluoroethylene)– P(VDF-TrFE-CFE)- were produced by different processing techniques (non-solvent and thermally induced phase separation, salt leaching and electrospinning), in order to evaluate their effect on separator morphology, degree of porosity and pore size, electrochemical parameters and battery cycling behavior. It has been demonstrated that the different processing techniques have a significant influence on the morphology and mechanical properties of membranes. The degree of porosity varies between 23 % and 66 %, for membranes obtained by salt leaching and thermally induced phase separation, respectively.
The membranes present a high ionic conductivity value ranging between 1.8 mS.cm−1 for the electrospun membrane and 0.20 mS.cm−1 for the membrane processed by thermally induced phase separator. The lithium transference number value for all membranes is above 0.20, the highest value of 0.55 being obtained for samples prepared by salt leaching and thermally induced phase separation.
For all membranes, battery capacity values have been obtained at different C-rates with excellent reversibility. P(VDF-TrFE-CFE) samples present an excellent battery performance at 1C-rate after 100 cycles with 74 mAh.g−1 and excellent coulombic efficiency, for membrane processed by the salt leaching technique. This work demonstrates that P(VDF-TrFE-CFE) terpolymer can be used as a porous membrane in lithium-ion battery separator application, the membrane processing technique allowing to tailor its morphology and, consequently, battery performance.

Challenges remain in the design and manufacture of acoustic devices with excellent broadband sound absorption performance. Herein, an efficient acoustic absorber with hierarchical pore structure and additional acoustic-electrical energy conversion mechanism is reported in which combined zirconia porous ceramics and P(VDF-TrFE) piezoelectric aerogels. Reticular cross-scale pore structure enables sound waves to propagate and dissipate effectively. The vibrations generated by piezoelectric aerogels under acoustic excitation further consume sound waves through converting acoustic energy into electrical energy based on the local piezoelectric and triboelectric effect, which improves the medium and low-frequency sound absorption capability. The average sound absorption coefficient of the prepared acoustic composites reaches 0.87 while the noise reduction coefficient is 0.54. Furthermore, the composites also possess low density, high compressive strength, good hydrophobicity and thermal insulation properties for applications. Therefore, this innovative strategy offers new design ideas for the next generation of high-performance acoustic materials with promising applications in transportation and industrial construction.

MXenes, a class of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, exhibit exceptional properties such as outstanding mechanical and thermal stability, along with diverse surface characteristics, making them highly promising in the tribology. However, their tendency to aggregate within the polymeric matrix adversely affects the tribological performance of the polymer. In this study, glass fiber (GF) surfaces were modified with polydopamine (PDA), allowing smaller MXene nanosheets to adhere to the GF surface, whereas the larger MXene nanosheets were dispersed throughout the matrix. This approach effectively enhanced the dispersion of MXene nanosheets in the polymeric matrix, facilitating the preparation of polyphenylene oxide (PPO)/MXene composite materials. Compared with the pure PPO sample, the results showed that the average friction coefficient and wear rate of the PPO/MXene composites were reduced by 46.25% and 98.34%, respectively, due to the distinct roles of different MXene nanosheet sizes in the polymeric matrix. Furthermore, a uniform lubricating film was formed during the friction of the polymer composite, enhancing its tribological performance. This study proposes a novel design strategy to enhance MXene nanosheet dispersion and optimize their lubricating properties.
