Quasi-periodic materials hold unique properties, but mass-producing bulk materials with such structures remains challenging. The rational approximant phase belongs to the Bravais crystal system but exhibits irrational cut features and diffraction symmetries, which are similar to quasicrystals. This study uses additive manufacturing (AM) and prolonged annealing to create an aluminum-based alloy featuring a quasicrystal-like rational approximant phase, Al(Cu, Ni)(Cr, Mn, Fe), overcoming the production limitations of reproducible quasi-periodic materials. This phase transformation occurs at the Al–AlFeNi interface, resulting in a monoclinic periodic structure with long-range translational symmetry. The structure comprises sublattices of stars and compressed hexagons, forming tile mode coverings with pseudo-five-fold decagonal shield-like tiles (SLTs) through transition-element atoms. Furthermore, HAADF imaging reveals clear dark monoclinic rhombic patterns with long-range ordered translational symmetry, free from atomic defects. The rational approximant phase has been verified crystallography through X-ray diffraction, confirming its translational symmetry. Additionally, the Al(Zr, Sc) phase facilitates the phase transformation process through lattice interactions. These findings introduce a novel perspective on the phase transformation in decagonal-like rational approximants and broaden the realm for future engineering applications.
准周期材料具有独特的性质，但要大规模生产具有这种结构的块状材料仍具有挑战性。有理近似相属于布拉维晶系，但表现出非理性切割特征和衍射对称性，与准晶体类似。本研究利用增材制造（AM）和长时间退火制造出一种具有类准晶体理性近似相 Al(Cu,Ni)(Cr,Mn,Fe)的铝基合金，克服了可复制准周期材料的生产限制。这种相变发生在铝-铝铁镍界面上，形成了具有长程平移对称性的单斜周期结构。该结构由星形和压缩六边形的子晶格组成，通过过渡元素原子形成具有伪五折十边形盾牌状瓦片（SLT）的瓦片模式覆盖。此外，HAADF 成像还显示出清晰的暗单斜菱形图案，具有长程有序平移对称性，不存在原子缺陷。通过 X 射线衍射对合理近似相进行了晶体学验证，确认了其平移对称性。此外，Al（Zr，Sc）相通过晶格相互作用促进了相变过程。这些发现为十边形有理近似物的相变引入了一个新的视角，并拓宽了未来工程应用的领域。

This review explores the integration of titanium carbide (TiCT) MXene materials with three-dimensional (3D) printing techniques for advanced functional applications. TiCT MXenes exhibit remarkable intrinsic properties like high surface area, metallic conductivity, and flexible surface functionalities. These materials can be associated to 3D printing techniques that offer solutions to conventional techniques’ limitations, enabling the creation of high-performance, free-standing, and multiscale devices with precise control over architecture. Additionally, 3D printing techniques are cost-effective, energy-saving, and sustainable, reducing material waste and carbon footprint. This review begins by presenting an overview of two-dimensional (2D) materials and their distinct characteristics when comparted to the MXenes family, followed by discussions on synthesis routes for 3D printable MXene inks and fabrication methods for complex MXene-based structures. Various applications of 3D-printed MXene architectures are explored, particularly in energy storage devices like supercapacitors and batteries, leveraging MXenes exceptional electrical conductivity and high surface area to enhance energy storage capabilities. Moreover, the potential of 3D-printed MXene architectures in smart devices, incorporating technologies such as artificial intelligence and connectivity features, is highlighted, particularly in smart sensors, biosensors, electromagnetic shielding, and environmental remediation.

Ammonia (NH) has been a subject of great interest due to its important roles in diverse technological applications. However, high toxicity and corrosiveness of NH has made it an important task to develop an efficient carrier to safely capture NH with high capacity. Here, we employ a machine learning (ML) model to discover high-performance metal organic frameworks (MOFs) that will work as efficient NH carriers. By constructing databases at two distinct conditions, adsorption and desorption, through Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations to train ML models, we identify eight novel MOFs as potentially efficient NH carriers through screening the large-scale MOF databases with the trained models and GCMC verification. The identified MOFs exhibit the average NH working capacity exceeding 1100 mg/g, and subsequent molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate mechanical stability of the predicted MOFs. Moreover, analyses of the diffusion mechanism within the proposed MOFs underscore the strong dependence of NH₃ gas diffusivity on the structural details of the materials.

Owning to their intrinsic properties, silica-based glasses are widely used in various technological fields, especially in photonics. However, high degree of flexibility is yet challenging in realization of next-generation miniaturized optical components. In this work, we develop an approach based on ‶Solmers″ hybrid resins allowing versatile two-photon polymerization 3D printing of silica glasses with 23 nm resolution, doping with Germanium and/or rare-earths elements. Other dopants such as gold nanoparticles were also incorporated for localized metallization. After 3D printing and sintering (1100–1300 °C), high optical quality glasses with low surface roughness (<0.2 nm) were obtained. Structural analyses confirmed the amorphous structure of silica glasses. Various mono- or multi-materials microstructures were successfully fabricated on fused silica substrates. Besides, this approach was extended to the functionalization of optical fibers for optical sensing applications in harsh environment (1000 °C). Compared to organic or organic-inorganic materials, these dense silica-based glasses with enhanced optical and structural properties will open new avenues for the development of emerging advanced optical components.
硅基玻璃因其固有特性而被广泛应用于各个技术领域，尤其是光子学领域。然而，在实现下一代微型光学元件时，高度灵活性仍是一项挑战。在这项工作中，我们开发了一种基于‶Solmers″混合树脂的方法，可通过掺杂锗和/或稀土元素，以 23 纳米的分辨率对二氧化硅玻璃进行多功能双光子聚合 3D 打印。此外，还加入了金纳米粒子等其他掺杂剂，以实现局部金属化。经过三维打印和烧结（1100-1300 °C），获得了表面粗糙度较低（<0.2 nm）的高质量光学玻璃。结构分析证实了二氧化硅玻璃的无定形结构。在熔融石英基底上成功制备出了各种单材料或多材料微结构。此外，这种方法还扩展到了光纤的功能化，用于恶劣环境（1000 °C）下的光学传感应用。与有机或有机-无机材料相比，这些具有更强光学和结构特性的致密二氧化硅基玻璃将为开发新兴的先进光学元件开辟新的途径。
