Introducing structured color-generating microstructures on leather instead of dyestuffs is expected to be an effective solution to achieve high-performance colorful leather without harmful effluent. Here, based on the disordered thin-layer Cu2O or ZnS microstructure, we obtained a series of colorful leathers with both sparkling brilliant structural colors and excellent color durability, using polyurethane and polyacrylate as linkers. The brilliant colors were generated by Mie resonance of ZnS or Cu2O nanospheres, while the polymer binders provided color stability and unique high gloss. The brilliant color has a unique sparkling effect under light, and the structural color can be adjusted by the sizes of the Cu2O or ZnS spheres. The colorful leather has superior rubbing fastness (4–5 grades) and superior light fastness (5–6 grades) to maintain color stability. Additionally, multiple color patterns and large-area colorful leather can also be produced, displaying great potential in the sustainable development of the leather industry.

Electromagnetic pollution often interferes with nearby electronic equipment and poses a serious threat to the health of people. There is an urgent need to develop soft and lightweight electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials. In this study, a layer-by-layer self-assembly strategy was used implemented to prepare PAN@Ag@PDA@PPy (PAP@PPy) films with unique core-shell and sandwich composite microstructures for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. Results showed that the conductivity of the composite films was the highest at 898.72 S/m after in situ polymerization of pyrrole at low temperatures. The mechanical properties of the conductive films also increased from the initial 16.81 MPa to 22.54 MPa. The average shielding effectiveness (SE) and SSE/t of the composite films with two layers reached as high as 23.81 dB and 6764.20 dB cm 2 g −1 , respectively. This performance was caused originates from by the layer structure of the PAN film and multiple internal reflections from the interconnected core-shells and sandwich microstructures in of the PAP@PPy films. Therefore, this work study gave provides a new novel strategy for fabricating conductive polymer composites (CPCs) with high-performance EMI shielding.

Determining the nitrate levels is critical for water quality monitoring, and traditional methods are limited by high toxicity and low detection efficiency. Here, rapid nitrate determination was realized using a portable device based on innovative three-dimensional double microstructured assisted reactors (DMARs). On-chip nitrate reduction and chromogenic reaction were conducted in the DMARs, and the reaction products then flowed into a PMMA optical detection chip for absorbance measurement. A significant enhancement of reaction rate and efficiency was observed in the DMARs due to their sizeable surface-area-to-volume ratios and hydrodynamics in the microchannels. The highest reduction ratio of 94.8% was realized by optimizing experimental parameters, which is greatly improved compared to conventional zinc–cadmium based approaches. Besides, modular optical detection improves the reliability of the portable device, and a smartphone was used to achieve a portable and convenient nitrate analysis. Different water samples were successfully analysed using the portable device based on DMARs. The results demonstrated that the device features fast detection (115 s per sample), low reagent consumptions (26.8 μL per sample), particularly low consumptions of toxic reagents (0.38 μL per sample), good reproducibility and low relative standard deviations (RSDs, 0.5–1.38%). Predictably, the portable lab-on-chip device based on microstructured assisted reactors will find more applications in the field of water quality monitoring in the near future.

Bi 2 O 3 - and MgO-doped BaTiO 3 –(Na 1/4 Bi 3/4 )(Mg 1/4 Ti 3/4 )O 3 (BT–NBMT) ceramics were synthesized from a solid-state approach, and then the impacts of Bi 2 O 3 and MgO dosages on the structures and dielectric characteristics were studied. Obvious dual peaks were observed with Bi 2 O 3 dosage to 0.04 and MgO dosage to 0.02. The low-temperature dielectric stability and grain size of the Bi 2 O 3 dopant were improved, while those of the MgO dopant hardly changed with MgO dosage to 0.02, indicating the core/shell microstructure of BT–NBMT was formed following the dissolving-precipitating mechanism of BT systems doped with low-melting-point substances. The low-temperature dielectric stability of the Bi 2 O 3 - or MgO-doped BT–NBMT ceramics first improved and then deteriorated with the increase of doping concentrations. High-temperature stability and diffuse-state transition were found in the optimal ceramics. The second phases of Bi 2 O 3 and MgO, magnesium titanium compounds were observed in Bi 2 O 3 and MgO dopants, respectively. Bi 2 O 3 -doped and MgO-doped ceramics exhibited a fine-grained microstructure and significant grain growth, respectively, and the core/shell microstructure was responsible for the dielectric temperature stability for Bi 2 O 3 dopants and collapsed to a homogeneous one with remarkable grain growth and the second phases for MgO dopants.

Three-dimensional (3D) microstructured building units have replaced layer-to-layer stacked designs in transparent graphene films to fully exploit the advantages of two-dimensional graphene. However, it is still challenging to precisely control the size and microstructures of these building blocks to develop multifunctional graphene-based materials that satisfy the performance requirements of diverse applications. In this study, we propose a controllable method to regulate the microstructures of building units to form structures ranging from opened bubbles and cubes, while the size decreased from 20 to 3 μm, via an in situ template-modulating technology. NaCl was used as either a liquid or solid template by changing the dc bias. The reduced size and dense arrangement of the building units not only provide an improved mass loading for the transparent films but also build multiple pathways for fast ion/electron transmission, enhancing their promise for various practical applications. Generally, we provide a convenient protocol for finely regulating the microstructure and size of these building units, resulting in multifunctional films with a controllable transmittance, which enables the use of these graphene-based architectures as transparent electrodes in various applications and extends the family of multifunctional materials that will present new possibilities for electronics and other devices.

Transparent or translucent ceramics typically exhibit inferior mechanical performance, which restricts their wider application. Here, we aim to develop ZrO 2 –SiO 2 –Al 2 O 3 ternary ceramic nanocomposites (TCNCs) that integrate those two often incompatible properties via microstructure engineering. A fixed ratio of 30 mol% SiO 2 was introduced into the ZrO 2 –Al 2 O 3 system, while the ratios between ZrO 2 and Al 2 O 3 were varied. Additionally, different forms of Al 2 O 3 (crystallization or amorphous) were used, resulting in four types of TCNCs. Among the samples studied, the TCNC containing 60 mol% ZrO 2 and 10 mol% amorphous Al 2 O 3 achieved high translucency and remarkable mechanical properties. The TCNC comprised ZrO 2 nanoparticles embedded in SiO 2 glass matrix and Al 2 O 3 glass domains. The superior properties of the TCNC can be attributed to its nanocrystalline-amorphous dual-phase microstructure. For TCNCs utilizing α-Al 2 O 3 submicron particles as the aluminum source, despite their adequate mechanical properties, the agglomeration and lack of densification of these particles resulted in significant light scattering, rending the TCNCs opaque. This study demonstrates that engineering a nanocrystalline-amorphous dual-phase microstructure is an effective strategy to achieve a synergistic combination of robust mechanical properties and high translucence.

Quantum dot microstructures were fabricated through a convenient microemulsion approach in this study. A polymer solution containing a stabilizer was mixed with a quantum dot aqueous solution, to prepare a reversed microemulsion, through shaking. Then, the microemulsion was cast on a solid substrate followed by evaporating steps, resulting in the formation of an ordered porous film. Interestingly, the quantum dot microstructure can be produced at the same time. The immunoassay experiment could be realized by the fluorescent microstructures. The green fluorescence microstructure specifically bound with antigens marked with red color quantum dots, resulting in the enhancement of red fluorescence domains and the decrease of green fluorescence. With the addition of unlabeled antigens, the green fluorescence microstructure was recovered. This strategy implies that the quantum dot pattern has potential on biochip, biosensor, and imaging analysis.

The corrosion of positive grid alloys is important for determining the service life of lead-acid batteries (LABs). Herein, we prepared a series of PbCaSnAl-M (M = Mg, Sr, Ba) alloys by an induction melter and systematically investigated the effect of Mg, Sr and Ba on their microstructures and corrosion resistance. The results show that the average grain size of PbCaSnAl-Mg reduces from 14.56 μm to 11.96 μm, and the average grain size of PbCaSnAl-Sr and PbCaSnAl-Ba increases to 25.95 μm and 39.17 μm, respectively. The addition of Sr and Ba reduces the corrosion rate of PbCaSnAl alloys from 0.366 mg h −1 cm −2 to 0.258 and 0.289 mg h −1 cm −2 , respectively. The increase corrosion resistance is due to the Sr and Ba change the microstructures of the corrosion layer and improve the densification of the corrosion layer.

To obtain aluminum titanate (AT, Al 2 TiO 5 ) ceramics with excellent mechanical properties , the ZrO 2 was introduced into AT flexible ceramic to modify the microstructure of it. Results show that ZrO 2 can significantly improve the mechanical properties of AT flexible ceramics. When the addition of ZrO 2 is 8 wt% and 12 wt%, the optimal strain and strength increase by ~52% and ~ 46%, respectively. The statistical results show that ZrO 2 can not only refine the AT grains but also improve the aspect ratio, which leads to more events of grain pull-out and transgranular fracture . Since the generated ZrTiO 4 is pinned in the AT grain boundary microcracks , the phenomenon of branching and deflection of main crack will increase, rising the resistance of main crack propagation . It is expectable that the discovery of this work is benefitted to solve the brittle limitation of ceramics.

Wireless passive sensors based on surface acoustic wave (SAW) provide a good solution for the measurement demand under high temperature and harsh conditions. SiBCN ceramics have excellent mechanical properties at high temperature and semiconductor behavior, making them potential for electrode of SAW sensors. To achieve the target conductivity, a series of SiBCN and SiNiBCN coatings are prepared by polymer derived ceramics (PDC) method and the influence of microstructure on the conductivity of the coatings is discussed. The results show that the conductivity of the SiBCN coatings is affected by both the content of free carbon and the degree of graphitization. The introduction of Ni leads to the formation of Ni 2 Si conductive microcrystals at lower temperatures and catalyzes the graphitization of the carbon phase, so that the SiNiBCN coatings show lower electrical resistivity. The amount of the metal conductive phase and the graphitization degree of the carbon phase increase with the pyrolysis temperature, resulting in decrease of the SiNiBCN coatings resistivity.

Al-contained Li7–xLa3Zr2–xTaxO12 (xTa-LLZO) powder was synthesized via solid-state reaction, where increasing the Ta doping level was found to reduce the average particle size and facilitate a higher relative density in the sintered pellet. 0.8Ta-LLZO pellets sintered at 1150 °C achieved a relative density of 96.2 ± 0.2% and survived the Li striping/plating test under a unidirectional current polarization of 0.5 mA/cm2 for more than 8 h without short-circuiting. In contrast, other xTa-LLZO sintered pellets with lower Ta doping levels were short-circuited by lithium dendrites after polarization for much shorter time periods. The microstructure of the sintered body played a more essential role in lithium dendrite prevention compared to relative density alone. By characterizing the microstructure of xTa-LLZO sintered pellets, we proposed a formation mechanism of the pathways for lithium dendrite growth.

Cubic garnet-type Al-contained Li 6.75 La 3 Zr 1.75 Ta 0.25 O 12 (Al-LLZTO) ceramics were prepared by conventional solid-state reaction using either Li 2 CO 3 or LiOH·H 2 O as Li source. The effects of Li source on the lithium ionic conductivity of Al-LLZTO ceramics were systematically investigated by comparing the synthesis processes and characteristics of the mother powders and the microstructures of the sintered pellets made with different Li sources. Different calcination processes of the raw materials mixtures with different Li sources are revealed by thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry investigation. The mother powder derived from LiOH·H 2 O is of higher sintering activity than those made from Li 2 CO 3 at the same calcination temperature. For the LiOH·H 2 O-derived pellets, higher relative density and enhanced lithium-ion conductivity is achieved at a much lower sintering temperature of 1100 °C as compared with Li 2 CO 3 -derived pellets. The highest conductivity obtained at room temperature is 9.28 × 10 −4 S cm −1 , which is the highest value reported to date for the same Ta doping level.
