In the characterization of perovskite failure, conventional techniques face considerable challenges in achieving multiphysics coupling, in situ, non-destructive, rapid assessment, and spatial resolution. This study proposes an experimental method based on grayscale evolution and digital image correlation (DIC). Using large-grained MAPbI₃ thin films as the research object, this method enables pixel-level tracking of degradation evolution under illumination, voltage, and deformation conditions using optical microscopy. Experimental results demonstrate a strong correlation among grayscale evolution, crystal phase changes, and optoelectronic performance. Tensile strain accelerates degradation and leads to an earlier onset; in this study (εMises=0.00895), the maximum degradation rate is approximately 1.5 times that of the strain-free condition. In addition, grain boundaries exhibit a certain hindering effect on strain transmission. Overall, this method provides an effective tool for investigating degradation under coupled multiphysics fields and for the rapid stability evaluation of perovskite materials.
在钙钛矿破坏的表征中,传统技术在实现多物理场耦合、原位、非破坏性、快速评估和空间分辨率方面面临相当大的挑战。提出了一种基于灰度演化和数字图像相关(DIC)的实验方法。该方法以大粒度MAPbI₃薄膜为研究对象,利用光学显微镜对光照、电压和变形条件下的降解演变进行像素级跟踪。实验结果表明,灰度演化、晶体相变与光电性能之间存在很强的相关性。拉伸应变加速退化,导致早期发病;在本研究中(εMises=0.00895),最大降解速率约为无菌株条件下的1.5倍。此外,晶界对应变传播有一定的阻碍作用。总的来说,该方法为研究耦合多物理场下的降解和钙钛矿材料的快速稳定性评估提供了有效的工具。

Influence of volumetric energy density on melt pool dynamics and defects formation in laser powder bed fused of K418 superalloy 体积能量密度对K418高温合金激光粉末床熔池动力学及缺陷形成的影响

Laser powder-bed fusion (LPBF) of the γ'-strengthened K418 superalloy is challenged by a narrow processing window and pronounced crack susceptibility associated with its high γ' fraction and wide solidification range. Here, a three- dimensional transient CFD model (Flow-3D, VOF-based) is established and experimentally validated to quantify VED-dependent melt-pool evolution in K418, incorporating melting/solidification, Marangoni convection, evaporation-induced recoil pressure, surface tension, and multiple laser reflections. Over a representative VED window (61.5–84.6 J/mm3), increasing VED enlarges melt-pool dimensions and strengthens internal convection. An intermediate VED regime (69.2–76.9 J/mm3) yields a stable toroidal vortex and a more homogeneous thermal–flow field, consistent with improved metallurgical bonding and reduced defect propensity. In contrast, excessive VED induces multiple vortices and keyhole instability, thereby increasing the susceptibility to pore formation and cracking. This work provides a K418-specific VED-vortex-stability map directly linked to experimentally observed defect transitions, offering a mechanistic basis for selecting a high-density, low-defect processing window.
γ′强化K418高温合金的高γ′分数和宽凝固范围使其加工窗口窄,裂纹敏感性明显,这给激光粉末床熔合(LPBF)带来了挑战。本文建立了一个三维瞬态CFD模型(Flow-3D,基于vof),并通过实验验证了该模型的有效性,该模型包含了熔化/凝固、Marangoni对流、蒸发诱导的反冲压力、表面张力和多次激光反射,可以量化K418中与ped相关的熔池演变。在一个具有代表性的VED窗口(61.5-84.6 J/mm3)上,增加VED扩大了熔池尺寸并加强了内部对流。中间的热流场(69.2-76.9 J/mm3)产生稳定的环形涡和更均匀的热流场,与改善的冶金结合和减少的缺陷倾向相一致。相反,过多的VED会引起多个涡和锁孔不稳定,从而增加孔隙形成和开裂的敏感性。这项工作提供了一个与实验观察到的缺陷转变直接相关的k418特异性ed -涡稳定性图,为选择高密度、低缺陷的处理窗口提供了机制基础。

This study aims to determine the effect of addition Al(NO3)3 to the black chromium electrolyte on the morphology and electrochemical properties of the resulting coatings for stainless steel AISI304. The dimensions of the cracks and crystals forming the coating were analysed. The electrochemical properties of the coatings were studied using linear voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy. The addition of 0.05 mol/L Al(NO3)3 to the electrolyte was found to produce coatings with much smaller cracks, which improves their corrosion resistance. The resulting coatings were shown to have a strong protective effect.

Photocatalytic hydrogen production over SrLi2Ti6O14 material SrLi2Ti6O14材料的光催化制氢

Hydrogen production through water splitting was achieved on the surface of SrLi2Ti6O14 material synthesized via a sol-gel route, a material that has been poorly explored in photocatalytic applications. Structural characterization confirmed the formation of a highly crystalline phase, while optical analysis revealed a bandgap of 3.8 eV, suitable for photocatalytic reaction under UV irradiation. The electrochemical characterization indicated an n-type semiconductor behavior with band positions that enable water splitting. In addition, the incorporation of methanol as sacrificial agent in the photocatalytic hydrogen production reactions enhanced the hydrogen production, confirming the photoactivity of SrLi2Ti6O14. These results demonstrate that this scarcely studied titanate exhibits intrinsic photocatalytic activity and may serve as a basis for further photocatalytic studies.

CdTe nanocrystals were synthesized using a single-step chemical bath deposition process and provided as sensitizers on mesoporous SnO₂ photoanodes for semiconductor-sensitized solar cells. The influence of sensitization duration (1−3h) on the structural, optical, morphological and photovoltaic properties was examined. The analysis of X-ray diffraction provided the formation of polycrystalline cubic CdTe, and crystallite size ranging between 4 and 7 nm with an increase in sensitization time. UV–visible spectroscopy shown a red shift in absorption and a corresponding decrease in optical band gap from 1.60 to 1.46 eV. Morphological analyses presented enhanced CdTe surface coverage with increasing sensitization time. Photovoltaic measurements displayed that cell fabricated with a 2 h sensitization duration demonstrated optimal performance, achieving a maximum power conversion efficiency of 0.253 ± 0.028% under AM 1.5G illumination. The results highlight sensitization duration as a vital factor for optimizing CdTe-sensitized SnO₂ solar cells.

Hydrophilic nanofiber-incorporated composite aerogels with vertically aligned channels were created as evaporators to enhance the efficiency of solar desalination. The incorporation of nanofiber enhanced the proportion of intermediate water and lowered the water evaporation enthalpy in the composite aerogel. When exposed to one sun illumination, the composite aerogels displayed an outstanding evaporation rate of 2.36 kg m−2 h−1 and excellent conversion efficiency of 98.53%. Besides, the composite aerogel enabled effective treatment of organic wastewater containing dyes. This work demonstrates a new strategy for design of composites to achieve highly efficient solar-powered desalination and superior salt rejection capability.

Turbine blades are critical hot-end engine components whose service performance relies heavily on the precision forming of their thin-walled structures. Conventional investment casting, however, often introduces defects such as shrinkage porosity and cavities, limiting mechanical properties and reliability. This study introduces a hybrid centrifugal-investment casting process. With a centrifugal force field applied at a pouring temperature of 1450 °C and mold temperature of 800 °C, successful complete filling of an ultra-thin (0.4 mm) blade was achieved. Results show that centrifugal casting markedly refines the microstructure: the blade root grain size decreased from4.1 ± 0.8 mm (gravity casting) to 0.57 ± 0.1 mm, and porosity dropped by ∼50%. The high-temperature fatigue performance improved significantly, with a 19.2% higher fatigue limit at 650 °C and nearly tenfold longer fatigue life under the same cyclic stress. This hybrid approach offers a scalable pathway toward next-generation high-performance turbine components.
涡轮叶片是热端发动机的关键部件,其使用性能在很大程度上依赖于其薄壁结构的精密成形。然而,传统的熔模铸造通常会引入诸如缩孔和空洞等缺陷,从而限制了机械性能和可靠性。介绍了一种离心-熔模混合铸造工艺。在浇注温度为1450°C、模具温度为800°C的条件下施加离心力,成功实现了超薄(0.4 mm)叶片的完全填充。结果表明:离心铸造显著细化了叶片的组织,叶片根部晶粒尺寸从4.1±0.8 mm(重力铸造)减小到0.57±0.1 mm,气孔率下降了50%。高温疲劳性能显著提高,650℃时的疲劳极限提高19.2%,相同循环应力下的疲劳寿命延长近10倍。这种混合方法为下一代高性能涡轮组件提供了可扩展的途径。

This work presents novel approach for fabricating composite materials based on the Ti₃AlC2 MAX-phase, TiC and Al₂O₃, using preceramic papers as a starting material. Preceramic papers with different contents of Ti₃AlC2 and Al₂O₃ were produced. The composites were consolidated by spark plasma sintering at 1150 °C under a pressure of 50 MPa. The microstructure, phase composition and mechanical properties of the composites were studied. The dense composites (2% porosity) obtained at 30 wt% Al₂O₃ exhibit bending strength of 360 ± 30 MPa and hardness of 13.5 GPa. Increasing the Al₂O₃ content to 50 and 70 wt% results in higher porosity (12% and 25%), with bending strengths of 240 ± 20 MPa and 50 ± 5 MPa, and hardness values of 6.2 GPa and 5.3 GPa, respectively.
这项工作提出了一种新的方法来制造基于Ti₃AlC2 max相、TiC和Al₂O₃的复合材料,使用预陶瓷纸作为起始材料。制备了Ti₃AlC2和Al₂O₃含量不同的预陶瓷纸。复合材料在1150℃、50 MPa压力下进行放电等离子烧结。研究了复合材料的显微组织、相组成和力学性能。在30 wt% Al₂O₃下获得的致密复合材料(2%孔隙率)的抗弯强度为360±30 MPa,硬度为13.5 GPa。将Al₂O₃的含量增加到50和70 wt%,孔隙率提高(12%和25%),弯曲强度分别为240±20 MPa和50±5 MPa,硬度分别为6.2 GPa和5.3 GPa。

This work examined how rotation speed influences the microstructure and electrochemical properties of the stir zone (SZ) in 430 ferritic stainless steel joined by friction stir welding (FSW). The findings show that a higher rotation speed improves the formation quality of the initial region of the welded joint, coarsens the SZ grains, reduces the fraction of low-angle grain boundaries (LAGBs), and deteriorates corrosion resistance. At 500 rpm, the SZ achieved an average grain size of 3.8 μm and a self-corrosion current density of 1.367 × 10−7 A·cm−2, showing the most uniform microstructure and the optimal electrochemical performance. Lower rotation speed helps obtain a fine, uniform grain structure in the SZ, facilitating rapid formation of a dense passive film and improving corrosion resistance.
本文研究了转速对430铁素体不锈钢搅拌摩擦焊(FSW)搅拌区(SZ)微观结构和电化学性能的影响。结果表明:转速越高,焊接接头初始区成形质量越好,SZ晶粒越粗,低角晶界(LAGBs)的比例越低,耐蚀性越差;在500 rpm转速下,SZ的平均晶粒尺寸为3.8 μm,自腐蚀电流密度为1.367 × 10−7 a·cm−2,表现出最均匀的微观结构和最佳的电化学性能。较低的转速有助于在SZ中获得精细均匀的晶粒结构,有利于快速形成致密的钝化膜,提高耐腐蚀性。
