Investigating the impact of co-introducing two distinct types of nanoparticles (NPs) with specific characteristics into high-temperature YBa2Cu3O7-d (Y123) superconductor ceramics is an engaging area of research. In this work, we used Ag and PbO NPs as the primary additives, while Al2O3, Dy2O3, SiO2, and WO3 NPs served as secondary additives. Two separate sample sets (identified as Ag-sample set and PbO-sample set) were produced via solid-state thermal sintering to comparatively evaluate the effectiveness of this dual-additive approach on the superconductivity of Y123 ceramics. Samples were subjected to comprehensive structural characterizations using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transport characterization using PPMS (Physical Property Measurement System) to measure resistivity-temperature (ρ-T), a.c susceptibility (χ-T), and d.c magnetization (M-H). The co-introduction of NPs was found to have a positive impact on the superconductivity and pinning capabilities of Y123. Well-oxygenated orthorhombic superconducting materials with onset critical temperature (Tcon) of around 93.2 K were successfully produced. Importantly, the presence of PbO-NPs with specific other NPs (like SiO2 and WO3) proved to be more effective than the presence of Ag-NPs in enhancing critical current density (Jc) and pinning energy. Notably, the PbO-WO3 sample exhibited the highest value of Jc = 6000 A/cm2. Ag-NPs demonstrated their great effectiveness in upgrading the assemblage of grains and reinforcing their connectivity. The incorporation of both PbO and Ag with secondary oxide NPs created better pinning configurations, increasing, for instance, the Jc value by more than a factor of 5 for an applied field up to 1 Tesla for the PbO-WO3 sample in comparison to the non-added control sample. These findings have the potential to contribute to the advancement of second-generation high-temperature superconductor technologies.
研究在高温YBa2Cu3O7-d (Y123)超导体陶瓷中共同引入两种不同类型的具有特定特性的纳米颗粒(NPs)的影响是一个引人入胜的研究领域。在这项工作中,我们使用Ag和PbO NPs作为主要添加剂,Al2O3, Dy2O3, SiO2和WO3 NPs作为次要添加剂。通过固相热烧结法制备了Ag-sample set和PbO-sample set两组样品,对比评价了双添加剂方法对Y123陶瓷超导性的影响。利用x射线衍射(XRD)和扫描电镜(SEM)对样品进行了全面的结构表征,并利用PPMS (Physical Property Measurement System)对样品进行了输运表征,测量了电阻率-温度(ρ-T)、交流磁化率(χ-T)和直流磁化强度(M-H)。发现NPs的共同引入对Y123的超导性和钉住能力有积极的影响。成功制备了起爆临界温度(Tcon)在93.2 K左右的高氧正交超导材料。重要的是,PbO-NPs与特定的其他NPs(如SiO2和WO3)的存在被证明比Ag-NPs的存在在提高临界电流密度(Jc)和钉扎能量方面更有效。值得注意的是,PbO-WO3样品表现出最高的Jc = 6000 A/cm2。Ag-NPs在提升颗粒组合和增强颗粒连通性方面具有重要作用。PbO和Ag与次级氧化物NPs的结合创造了更好的钉钉结构,例如,与未添加的对照样品相比,PbO- wo3样品的Jc值在高达1 Tesla的应用电场中增加了5倍以上。这些发现有可能为第二代高温超导体技术的发展做出贡献。

Due to advancements in 4D printing (4DP) technology, bioprinted materials can have many functions and dynamic features. Occluders, stents, microneedles, wound closures, smart cell microenvironments, implants, and drug delivery systems, are some examples of biomedical objects that have been manufactured using 4DP peocess. Due to similarity to bioapatite, hydroxyapatite nanocomposites (HAp NCs) are promising biomaterials in tissue engineering. Conventionally, bone/tissue engineering has extensively used HAp NCs due to their osteogenic and biocompatible qualities. However, traditional HAp production procedures restrict their extensive application in fabrication of biomedical materials, including bones, teeth, cartilage, etc. Novel techniques like 4DP have been used to create customized HAp NC–based scaffolds for the patients. In this review, we provide an overview of different 4DP methods that are utilized in the HAp NC-based scaffolds fabrication. Various natural sources of HAp and different synthesis methods have been investigated. Several 4DP HAp NC-based scaffolds, their properties, biomedical applications, advantages, disadvantages, and future prospects are discussed.
由于4D打印(4DP)技术的进步,生物打印材料可以具有许多功能和动态特征。闭塞器、支架、微针、伤口闭合、智能细胞微环境、植入物和药物输送系统是使用4DP工艺制造的生物医学对象的一些例子。羟基磷灰石纳米复合材料具有与生物磷灰石相似的特性,是一种在组织工程中应用前景广阔的生物材料。由于羟基磷灰石具有成骨性和生物相容性,骨/组织工程已广泛使用羟基磷灰石。然而,传统的羟基磷灰石生产工艺限制了其在生物医学材料(包括骨、牙、软骨等)制造中的广泛应用。像4DP这样的新技术已经被用于为患者创建定制的基于HAp nc的支架。在这篇综述中,我们提供了不同的4DP方法用于制备羟基磷酰胺纳米基支架的概述。人们研究了HAp的各种天然来源和不同的合成方法。综述了几种基于4DP羟基磷灰石的支架材料及其性能、生物医学应用、优缺点及未来前景。

Friction stir welding (FSW) continues to rise among the solid state joining and welding processes due to its plentiful benefits. However, it has been met with drawbacks in joining dissimilar metals/materials for application in the transportation industries, other than their initial intended application for welding aluminum alloys. The present article discusses one of the more remarkable efforts employed to control or mitigate the persistent drawbacks, i.e., ultrasonic vibration-assisted FSW, to the various dissimilar material combinations, comprising aluminum alloys with copper, steel, titanium, and magnesium alloys, as this process has a significant effect on the joint formation and strength. The broader discussions on the effects of the ultrasonic vibration presence on the surface appearance, microstructural features, materials flow, and mechanical properties of these dissimilar materials will be revealed to understand the modification caused by the assisted energy on excellent weldability and joint performance. Given the increasing interest in advanced joining techniques for lightweight and radiation-resistant structures, this review also considers the potential relevance of such dissimilar joints in nuclear applications, particularly where aluminum-based systems interface with structural or shielding components.
搅拌摩擦焊(FSW)由于其诸多优点,在固态连接和焊接工艺中不断崛起。然而,它在连接不同的金属/材料应用于运输行业时遇到了缺点,除了它们最初的预期应用于焊接铝合金。本文讨论了用于控制或减轻持续缺陷的更显着的努力之一,即超声波振动辅助FSW,用于各种不同的材料组合,包括铝合金与铜,钢,钛和镁合金,因为该过程对接头的形成和强度有显着影响。通过对超声振动对异种材料的表面形貌、微观组织特征、材料流动和力学性能的影响进行更广泛的讨论,以了解辅助能量对优异的可焊性和接头性能的影响。鉴于人们对轻量化和抗辐射结构的先进连接技术越来越感兴趣,本综述还考虑了这种不同连接在核应用中的潜在相关性,特别是在铝基系统与结构或屏蔽部件接口的情况下。

The advancement of green and efficient synthetic strategies is essential for the pursuit of environmentally sustainable organic transformations. Imidazole derivatives, recognized for their broad pharmacological and synthetic utility, are key structural motifs in various bioactive molecules. This study reports a one-pot, four-component synthesis of imidazole derivatives catalyzed by cerium-doped, silver-coated MgO (Ce-MgO@Ag) core-shell nanoparticles under solvent-free grinding conditions. The catalyst is synthesized via a sol-gel method and comprehensively characterized using XRD, FTIR, Ads-Des, BET, BJH, EDAX, FESEM, HRTEM, SAED, and XPS techniques. The model reaction employs an aromatic aldehyde, benzil, aniline, and ammonium acetate. Optimization of reaction conditions yields high-purity products with excellent efficiency. The synthesized imidazoles are characterized using FTIR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and MS. Compared to conventional protocols, this nanocatalyst offers advantages such as high catalytic efficiency, superior yields, short reaction duration, inexpensive nature, operational simplicity, reusability, and environmental benignity. The findings underscore the potential of nanostructured catalysts in advancing green synthetic strategies.

We report a straightforward, single-step microwave-enhanced biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) via an aqueous leaf extract of Simarouba glauca. This study represents the first use of S. glauca leaf aqueous extract for AgNPs production. The microwave conditions reached their optimal point through ongoing monitoring of the maximum UV absorbance at 454 nm which shows the surface plasmon resonance of AgNPs. The 454 nm absorption peak reached its highest intensity when AgNPs were made through a 70 °C reaction that lasted 3 min which proved the formation of nanoparticles. The three analytical methods of powder dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD)were used to verify AgNPs formation. TEM images showed spherical silver particles of 5–15 nm synthesized within 3 min via reduction of Ag+ (from AgNO3) by the leaf extract. The XRD results showed that the produced AgNPs contained crystalline structures which SAED confirmed through selected area electron diffraction. The phytochemical screening analysis showed that the extract comprises phenolic compounds which probably function as reducing agents for Ag+ ions. The antimicrobial testing revealed that the synthesized AgNPs demonstrated effective antibacterial properties compared toward different bacterial strains (eight) which included both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Over the last few years, a new magnetic nanoparticles system has been elaborated in order to enhance the magnetic feature of spintronic and ultra-high-density recording devices with respect to promoting the anisotropic behaviour and ensuring the magnetic ordering stability. The smart MnCr2O4 chromite compound is becoming more popular these days thanks to its promising potential to create an extra source of anisotropy energy so that it becomes steadily moving toward commercialization referring to its soft ferrimagnetic behaviour and low manufacturing cost. In this research paper, single phase spinel MnCr2O4 chromite compound has been successfully prepared through the use of the Sol-gel method. The room temperature X-ray Diffraction characterisation technique was applied to confirm the cubic crystallographic structure. The thermal magnetization M(T) has been explored at various low applied magnetic fields (100, 300 and 500 Oe) to investigate the spin-glass behaviour of our compound. M(H) measurements have been performed between 5 and 50 K, giving rise to an exchange bias (EB) effect in our material. In this respect the various hysteresis and anisotropy parameters have been respectively determined using a theoretical model as well as the well-known Law to Approach to Saturation (LAS). The effect of temperature on these parameters was tackled. A significant increase of the coercive field from 22.1 Oe to 29.7 Oe was recorded confirming the soft ferrimagnetic behaviour of the examined compound (HC ˂ 628 Oe). These outstanding results, definitely confirm the interesting potential of MnCr2O4 to be invested within the area of spintronic devices manufacturing.
近年来,为了提高自旋电子和超高密度记录器件的磁性特性,促进其各向异性行为,并确保磁有序稳定性,一种新的磁性纳米颗粒体系得到了发展。智能的MnCr2O4铬铁矿化合物由于其具有创造额外的各向异性能源的潜力而变得越来越受欢迎,因此由于其软铁磁性和低制造成本,它正稳步走向商业化。本文采用溶胶-凝胶法制备了单相尖晶石型MnCr2O4铬铁矿化合物。采用室温x射线衍射表征技术对其立方晶体结构进行了表征。研究了不同低外加磁场(100,300和500 Oe)下的热磁化强度M(T),以研究化合物的自旋玻璃行为。M(H)测量在5和50 K之间进行,在我们的材料中产生交换偏置(EB)效应。在这方面,各种迟滞和各向异性参数分别用理论模型和著名的接近饱和定律(LAS)确定。研究了温度对这些参数的影响。记录到矫顽力场从22.1 Oe显著增加到29.7 Oe,证实了所测化合物的软铁磁行为(HC: 628 Oe)。这些突出的结果,绝对证实了MnCr2O4在自旋电子器件制造领域的有趣潜力。

A plastic waste, amber poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), was used to obtain carbon microneedles, using iron oxide microparticles (IOMPs) that acted as nucleation points to favor the growth of the carbon structure. The IOMPs were synthesized using the precipitation method, in atmospheres of air and of nitrogen and characterized via X-ray diffraction (XRD), IR and EDAX spectroscopy, as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The synthesized particles showed magnetite (Fe3O4) as their main crystalline phase, a submicron size and a morphology that varied depending on the atmosphere used: spheroidal and laminar, in air, and spherical, on using nitrogen. The amber PET was then placed on quartz substrates previously impregnated with IOMPs, to be subjected to a pyrolysis process at 700 °C. These carbon-based structures were found to have an acicular morphology, with a submicron width, and length in the micron range. These showed an elemental chemical composition of ∼ 95 % (wt%) C, ∼ 2.6 % (wt%) O, ∼ 2.4 % (wt%) Si and ∼ 0.4 % Fe, on average.

In this work, pristine Iron sulphide (FeS) and nickel-doped Iron sulphide (Ni-FeS) nanomaterials were efficiently hydrothermally synthesized. The synthesized nanomaterial was scientifically investigated by various analytical techniques like FTIR, UV–visible spectroscopy, XRD, SEM-EDAX, and HR-TEM-SAED. The study reveals that synthesized FeS is crystalline hexagonal (troilite phase) with an average crystallite size of 17.21 nm. Ni-FeS crystal structure remains unchanged, but XRD peaks become broader compared to FeS due to Ni. The HR-TEM result confirms the particle sizes of FeS and Ni-FeS as 50–130 nm and 24 nm, respectively. Surface morphology of FeS and Ni-FeS appeared as a uniform distribution and agglomeration of particles, depicted by SEM. EDAX analysis confirms elemental composition. UV–visible and Tauc plot studies give band gap energies of 2.03 and 1.71 eV for FeS and Ni-FeS, respectively. The photodegradation of malachite green (MG) dye was scientifically evaluated to assess the photocatalytic capacity of both FeS and Ni-FeS. 90.05 % dye degradation was achieved by Ni-FeS, as compared to FeS 88.01 % under identical conditions. The gas sensing investigation studies give a good response and recovery time for H2S gas at 120 °C. All these results highlight the benefits of Ni-FeS and FeS as a promising, stable, and efficient material.

The present study examines two selenium nanoparticles were synthesized at room temperature using extracts of Juglans regia L (green husk walnut) and Mentha piperita L (peppermint). The characteristic structures of GHW-SeNPs and MP-SeNPs were investigated using analytical techniques such as UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). These characterization techniques have revealed both the reducing and stabilizing properties of the organic compounds in the structure of the plants used in the formation of SeNPs. GHW-SeNPs were found to have a polydisperse structure with an average diameter of 66.43 nm, while MP-SeNPs were observed to have a spherical structure and smaller dimensions (average diameter of 23.86 nm). The crystallite size of GHW-SeNPs was determined to be 57.74 nm, while MP-SeNPs were found to be quite pure and measured 29.1 nm. FTIR graphs show that the organic compounds surrounding the selenium atom significantly contribute to the reduction of selenium and the formation of nanoparticles. The biological activities of SeNPs were tested on 3 Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus megaterium), 4 Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter aerogenes) and 3 fungi (Candida albicans, Yarrowia lipolytica, Saccharomyces cerevisiae). GHW-SeNPs used at increasing concentrations exhibited the best antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae with inhibition zone diameters of 25 mm. MP-SeNPs exhibited more antifungal activity, showing high activity against Candida albicans with an inhibition zone diameter of 24 mm. The data obtained on the activities of the MP-SeNP and GHW-SeNP particles we synthesized using an environmentally friendly method will contribute to future pharmacological studies.
本研究研究了两种硒纳米粒子在室温下合成的方法,分别使用绿壳核桃和薄荷提取物。采用紫外可见光谱(UV-Vis)、傅里叶红外光谱(FTIR)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)和x射线衍射(XRD)等分析技术研究了GHW-SeNPs和MP-SeNPs的特征结构。这些表征技术揭示了senp形成过程中植物结构中有机化合物的还原和稳定特性。GHW-SeNPs为多分散结构,平均直径为66.43 nm, MP-SeNPs为球形结构,尺寸较小,平均直径为23.86 nm。GHW-SeNPs的晶粒尺寸为57.74 nm, MP-SeNPs的晶粒尺寸为29.1 nm,非常纯净。红外光谱图显示,硒原子周围的有机化合物对硒的还原和纳米粒子的形成有显著的促进作用。检测了SeNPs对3种革兰氏阳性菌(金黄色葡萄球菌、枯草芽孢杆菌、巨芽孢杆菌)、4种革兰氏阴性菌(大肠杆菌、肺炎克雷伯菌、铜绿假单胞菌、产气肠杆菌)和3种真菌(白色念珠菌、脂解耶氏菌、酿酒酵母)的生物活性。随着浓度的增加,GHW-SeNPs对金黄色葡萄球菌和肺炎克雷伯菌的抑菌活性最好,抑菌带直径为25 mm。MP-SeNPs具有较强的抗真菌活性,对白色念珠菌具有较高的抑菌活性,抑菌带直径为24 mm。我们用环境友好的方法合成的MP-SeNP和GHW-SeNP颗粒的活性数据将有助于未来的药理学研究。

IF 5.45 Q1 Physics and Astronomy Pub Date : 2025-12-01 Epub Date: 2025-11-24 DOI: 10.1016/j.nanoso.2025.101581

A comprehensive study was performed to investigate the variation of surface discharge inception voltage (SDIV) in silicone rubber nanocomposites filled with hexagonal boron nitride (BN) nanoparticles under positive DC, negative DC, high-frequency AC, and harmonic voltages with varying Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) in SF₆ gas at different pressures employing Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) sensor. The SDIV increased by up to 32 % with rising pressure and frequency, attaining the highest value under Negative DC conditions, while it decreased by approximately 25 % as THD increased from 4 % to 40 %. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) analysis showed that the average surface roughness increased from 18.6 nm for pristine silicone rubber to 41.2 nm for 5 wt% BN composites, with the maximum roughness observed under Negative DC stress. Texture parameters derived from AFM phase images using the Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) and box-counting methods were statistically correlated with surface hydrophobicity. A regression model based on these parameters predicted the static contact angle with 96 % accuracy, confirming that AFM texture features can effectively estimate surface wettability. The results demonstrate that BN nanofiller incorporation enhances dielectric strength, surface resistance, and hydrophobic recovery of silicone rubber under multi-voltage and pressurized SF₆ environments.
采用超高频(UHF)传感器,研究了六方氮化硼(BN)纳米硅橡胶复合材料在正直流、负直流、高频交流以及不同压力下SF₆气体中总谐波失真(THD)变化的谐波电压下表面放电起始电压(SDIV)的变化规律。随着压力和频率的增加,SDIV增加了32 %,在负直流条件下达到最大值,而当THD从4 %增加到40 %时,SDIV下降了约25 %。原子力显微镜(AFM)分析表明,原始硅橡胶的平均表面粗糙度从18.6 nm增加到5 wt% BN复合材料的41.2 nm,并在负直流应力下观察到最大粗糙度。利用灰度共生矩阵(GLCM)和盒计数方法从AFM相位图像中得到的纹理参数与表面疏水性具有统计学相关性。基于这些参数的回归模型预测静态接触角的准确率为96% %,证实了AFM纹理特征可以有效地估计表面润湿性。结果表明,BN纳米填料的掺入提高了硅橡胶在多电压和加压环境下的介电强度、表面电阻和疏水回复率。
