Ceramic oxides, renowned for their exceptional combination of mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties, are indispensable in numerous crucial applications across diverse engineering fields. However, conventional manufacturing methods frequently grapple with limitations, such as challenges in shaping intricate geometries, extended processing durations, elevated porosity, and substantial shrinkage deformations. Direct additive manufacturing (dAM) technology stands out as a state-of-the-art solution for ceramic oxides production. It facilitates the one-step fabrication of high-performance, intricately designed components characterized by dense structures. Importantly, dAM eliminates the necessity for post-heat treatments, streamlining the manufacturing process and enhancing overall efficiency. This study undertakes a comprehensive review of recent developments in dAM for ceramic oxides, with a specific emphasis on the laser powder bed fusion and laser directed energy deposition techniques. A thorough investigation is conducted into the shaping quality, microstructure, and properties of diverse ceramic oxides produced through dAM. Critical examination is given to key aspects including feedstock preparation, laser–material coupling, formation and control of defects, in-situ monitoring and simulation. This paper concludes by outlining future trends and potential breakthrough directions, taking into account current gaps in this rapidly evolving field.

The burgeoning interest in flexible electronics necessitates the creation of patterning technology specifically tailored for flexible substrates and complex surface morphologies. Among a variety of patterning techniques, transfer printing emerges as one of the most efficient, cost-effective, and scalable methods. It boasts the ability for high-throughput fabrication of 0-3D micro- and nano-structures on flexible substrates, working in tandem with traditional lithography methods. This review highlights the critical issue of transfer printing: the flawless transfer of devices during the pick-up and printing process. We encapsulate recent advancements in numerous transfer printing techniques, with a particular emphasis on strategies to control adhesion forces at the substrate/device/stamp interfaces. These strategies are employed to meet the requirements of competing fractures for successful pick-up and print processes. The mechanism, advantages, disadvantages, and typical applications of each transfer printing technique will be thoroughly discussed. The conclusion section provides design guidelines and probes potential directions for future advancements.

Understanding the complex interactions between the work material and abrasives is a difficult and hot topic during grinding of Gallium nitride (GaN) single crystals. In this work, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of double-grits interacted grinding of GaN crystals were performed, and the grinding force, coefficient of friction, stress distribution, plastic damage behaviors, and abrasive damage were systematically investigated. The results demonstrated that interacted distance with both radial and transverse directions achieved better grinding quality than that with only one direction or single-grit grinding. The grinding force, grinding induced stress, subsurface damage depth, and abrasive wear increases as the transverse interacted distance increases. However, the influence laws of the interacted distance on atom number of phase transition and dislocation length are not distinct. Appropriate interacted distances between abrasives can decrease grinding force, coefficient of friction, grinding induced stress, subsurface damage depth, and abrasive wear during the grinding process. Grinding test combined with the cross-sectional TEM detection verified the reliability of the simulated damage behaviors, i.e. amorphous, high-pressure phase transition, dislocations, stacking faults, and lattice distortions. The results not only enhance the understanding of damage accumulation and material removal caused by the coupling actions of abrasives in grinding process, but also provide a feasible approach for the wheel design of ordered abrasives.
在氮化镓(GaN)单晶的磨削过程中,理解工件材料与磨料之间复杂的相互作用是一个困难而热门的课题。本文对氮化镓晶体的双磨粒交互磨削进行了分子动力学(MD)模拟,系统研究了磨削力、摩擦系数、应力分布、塑性损伤行为和磨料损伤。结果表明,径向和横向交互距离的磨削质量优于单向或单粒磨削。随着横向交互距离的增加,磨削力、磨削诱导应力、表面下损伤深度和磨料磨损也随之增加。然而,相互作用距离对相变原子数和位错长度的影响规律并不明显。适当的磨料间相互作用距离可降低磨削过程中的磨削力、摩擦系数、磨削诱导应力、表面下损伤深度和磨料磨损。磨削试验结合横截面 TEM 检测验证了模拟损伤行为的可靠性,即非晶态、高压相变、位错、堆积断层和晶格畸变。这些结果不仅加深了对磨削过程中磨料耦合作用导致的损伤累积和材料去除的理解,而且为有序磨料的砂轮设计提供了可行的方法。

The burning of fossil fuels in industry results in significant carbon emissions, and the heat generated is often not fully utilized. For high-temperature industries, thermophotovoltaics (TPV) is an effective means of waste heat recovery. This review covers two aspects of high-efficiency TPV systems and industrial waste heat applications. At the system level, representative results of TPV complete systems, selective emitters and photovoltaic cells in the last decade are compiled, and key points of components to improve energy conversion efficiency is further analyzed. At the application level, the feasibility of TPV in high-temperature industrial applications is shown from the world waste heat utilization situation, and then the potential of TPV in waste heat recovery is illustrated with the steel industry as an example.

There is a perpetual pursuit for free-form glasses and ceramics featuring outstanding mechanical properties as well as chemical and thermal resistance. It is a promising idea to shape inorganic materials in three-dimensional (3D) forms to reduce their weight while maintaining high mechanical properties. A popular strategy for the preparation of 3D inorganic materials is to mold the organic-inorganic hybrid photoresists into 3D micro- and nano-structures and remove the organic components by subsequent sintering. However, due to the discrete arrangement of inorganic components in the organic-inorganic hybrid photoresists, it remains a huge challenge to attain isotropic shrinkage during sintering. Herein, we demonstrate the isotropic sintering shrinkage by forming the consecutive -Si-O-Si-O-Zr-O- inorganic backbone in photoresists and fabricate 3D glass-ceramic nanolattices with enhanced mechanical properties. The femtosecond (fs) laser is used for two-photon polymerization (TPP) to fabricate 3D green body structures. After subsequent sintering at 1000 ℃, high-quality 3D glass-ceramic microstructures can be obtained with perfectly intact and smooth morphology. In-suit compression experiments and finite-element simulations reveal that octahedral-truss (Oct-Truss) lattices possess remarkable adeptness in bearing stress concentration and maintain the structural integrity to resist rod bending, indicating that this structure is a candidate for preparing lightweight and high stiffness glass-ceramic nanolattices. 3D printing of such glasses and ceramics has significant implications in a number of industrial applications, including metamaterials, microelectromechanical systems, photonic crystals, and damage-tolerant lightweight materials.
