In this study, a new Al-LPM composite coating was in-situ deposited on the Al alloy via a facile one-pot hydrothermal method . Morphological and compositional characterizations revealed a tri-layered structure of the Al-LPM coating, namely, zinc aluminum-layered double hydroxide (ZnAl-LDH)/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)/MoS 2 . ZnAL-LDH was deposited closest to the surface of Al alloy , and the metallic ion-cross-linking of PEDOT:PSS makes the 3D coating more robust. The unique structure endows the coating with superior protective properties against both corrosion and wear. For anti-corrosion, the Al-LPM coating showed very high self-corrosion potential (-0.092 V) and small self-corrosion current density (46.0 μA cm −2 ) (vs. Al substrate with -1.157 V and 354.8 μA cm −2 , respectively), long-lasting high corrosion resistance (>57,000 Ω cm 2 ) during the immersion test, and the almost intact surface morphology and composition after 360 h corrosion. For anti-wear, the friction coefficient of the Al-LPM coating was determined to be < 0.2, which was much smaller than for the Al substrate (> 0.4). Also, there were no serious wear marks and grooves left after the dry-friction test.

In this paper, the electrochemical behavior of Zr(IV) and Y(III) in NaCl-KCl-K2ZrF6-YCl3 molten salts is studied by cyclic voltammetry, linear sweep voltammetry, and chronopotentiometry methods, which will provide a theoretical foundation for the preparation of Zr-Y alloy coating by molten salt electrodeposition method. Results show that the reduction of Zr(IV) on molybdenum electrode is a three-step charge-transfer process, while the reduction of Y(III) is a single-step diffusion-controlled three-electron quasi-reversible process at −0.30 V vs Pt. In addition, the diffusion coefficient of Y(III) in the melt at 750 °C is calculated as 2.15 × 10−5 cm2·s−1. The reduction of Zr(IV) and Y(III) on molybdenum electrode in NaCl-KCl-K2ZrF6-YCl3 molten salts has also been studied by cyclic voltammetry method. Results indicate that the Zr-Y alloy coating can be obtained on molybdenum electrode by galvanostatic electrolysis at −1.50 V vs Pt for 30 min.

Inconel 625 + x Al ( x = 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0) alloy coatings were prepared by laser cladding. The addition of Al promoted the formation of the BCC phase, which changed the coating microstructure from an FCC + δ phase + Laves phase to FCC + BCC + δ phase + Laves phase. Inconel 625 + 2.5 Al alloy showed the greatest corrosion resistance among all samples. The formation of an Al 2 O 3 film improved the corrosion resistance of the coating, but excess Al decreased the Cr 2 O 3 content in the film, which decreased the corrosion resistance of the coating. Increasing the Al content aggravated the lattice distortion and improved the solid solution strengthening effect, while also increasing the amount of BCC phase, which improved the coating hardness. After adding Al, the Inconel 625 + x Al alloy coatings displayed strong plastic deformation resistance, and their wear resistance was improved due to the presence of a hard phase.

(FeNiCoCrTi 0.5 )C x (x = 3 wt%, 6 wt%, 12 wt%) carbonized high-entropy alloy-based composite coatings , marked as C 3 , C 6 and C 12 , were prepared on 45 steel by laser cladding. The macroscopic morphology, phase, microstructure, hardness and wear resistance of coatings have been investigated systematically. The results indicate that diamond content has a significant influence on the microstructure and mechanical properties of (FeNiCoCrTi 0.5 )C x coating. (FeNiCoCrTi 0.5 )C x coatings, without pores and cracks, are well metallurgically bonded with substrate. The coatings consist of BCC solid solution, Cr 23 C 6 and TiC. The addition of diamond in (FeNiCoCrTi 0.5 )C x coating leads to the instability of BCC solid solution and facilitates the precipitation of carbides , which causes carbides to become coarse and aggregate into large blocks. The hardness of (FeNiCoCrTi 0.5 )C x coatings is much higher than that of the 45 steel, the average hardness of C 12 coating is 4 times the hardness of substrate. Besides, the hardness of (FeNiCoCrTi 0.5 )C x coating increases with the increase of diamond content. Nonetheless, compared to C 6 coating, the C 12 coating shows inferior tribological performance due to the brittleness . It is noteworthy that C 6 coating with outstanding wear resistance has the potential to apply in various fields of machinery industry, marine engineering and aerospace.

Wear and erosion are common issues encountered when applying metal components in harsh marine environments. In this study, N-MX@ZnO materials were prepared by a synergistic modification of Ti 3 C 2 T x using ethylenediamine and zinc oxide quantum dots. Subsequently, the Ni-Cu/N-MX@ZnO coating was deposited onto J55 steel using pulsed electrodeposition, exhibiting excellent tribological properties. The toughness, wear, and seawater erosion behavior of the coatings were investigated. The results demonstrated that the COF value of the Ni-Cu/N-MX@ZnO coating was reduced by 48.23% and the impedance value was increased by 300% in comparison to the pure sample. The enhancement mechanism can be attributed to the physical barrier effect and uniform dispersion effect of N-MX@ZnO, which caused the Ni-Cu/N-MX@ZnO coatings to form a friction-transferring film during the friction process.

The green cyanide-free gold deposition is an important development direction in electroless gold plating. However, the commonly Au(I) based cyanide-free gold plating bath always suffers from severe corrosion to the Ni–P layer and unsatisfactory service life of the bath. In this work, a green and environmentally friendly cyanide-free gold plating bath was developed with hypophosphite added as a reducing agent into the Au(III)–DMH (5,5-dimethylhydantoin) based plating bath to retard the corrosion of the Ni–P layer. SEM micrographs combined with XRD and XPS analysis indicated that the electroless deposited gold was pure and compact. And XRD also revealed that the oriented deposition of gold was growing preferentially on Au (111). Corrosion tests, including salt spray tests, potentiodynamic polarization tests, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests, indicated that the obtained Cu/Ni–P/Au coatings had significantly improved corrosion resistance performance with the loading of hypophosphite as the reducing agent. The baths remained transparent and no turbidity or precipitates were detected for 210 days, reflecting good stability. The detection for the Ni2+ concentration in the bath showed that adding hypophosphite could retard the replacement reaction between Au3+ and the Ni–P layer in part and this is important for decreasing the severe corrosion of the Ni–P layer. Moreover, Au was inactive for catalyzing the oxidation of hypophosphite during the deposition process which was confirmed furthermore via quantum chemical calculations. Therefore, our developed green cyanide-free electroless gold deposition process can beneficially provide research value and application prospects in microelectronic industry.

A new type of device with adjustable reflective capabilities in the mid-IR is elaborated from the combination of Poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/Poly (styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS), gold-coated non-porous polyimide substrate and gel electrolyte. Prior to device characterization, the influence of polymer thickness and gold substrate types on reflectance modulation of PEDOT-Au films is scrutinized to obtain the film with optimum quality. A combination of SEM images and reflectance curves confirms that adopting thin PEDOT/PSS on the non-porous substrate can achieve large amplitude reflectance regulation. Further, a mechanical perforating method is developed to address the issue that ions cannot transport between the polymer film and the counter electrode when this PEDOT/non-porous film assembled into device. An in-depth study shows that by varying the punching side, porosity and aperture, a device with front holes of porosity 12.77% affords the highest reflectance contrast of 0.566 over the wavelength range of 3-5 μm, meanwhile exhibits effective temperature changes of approximately 16 °C. These results inspire interesting perspectives regarding the fabrication of PEDOT-based devices with controllable IR electroreflective performance.

This work aimed to fabricate a gold coating on the surface of ultralow-density carbon-hydrogen foam cylinder without electroless plating. Poly (divinylbenzene/styrene) foam cylinder was synthetized by high internal phase emulsion, and chemical vapor deposition polymerization approach was used to form a compact poly- p -xylylene film on the foam cylinder. Conducting gold thin films were directly deposited onto the poly- p -xylylene-modified foam cylinder by magnetron sputtering, and electrochemical deposition was adopted to thicken the gold coatings. The micro-structures and morphologies of poly (divinylbenzene/styrene) foam cylinder and gold coating were observed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy. The gold coating content was investigated by energy-dispersive X-ray. The thicknesses of poly- p -xylylene coating and sputtered gold thin-film were approximately 500 and 100 nm, respectively. After electrochemical deposition, the thickness of gold coating increased to 522 nm, and the gold coating achieved a compact and uniform structure.

The accurate, sensitive and portable detection of morphine is important to handle judicial cases, but remains to be a great challenge. In this work, a flexible route is presented for the accurate identification and efficient detection of trace morphine in solutions based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and a solid substrate/chip. A gold-coated jagged silicon nanoarray (Au-JSiNA) is designed and prepared via Si-based polystyrene colloidal template-reactive ion etching and sputtering deposition of Au. Such Au-JSiNA has three-dimensional nanostructure with good structural uniformity, high SERS activity and hydrophobic surface . Adopting this Au-JSiNA as SERS chip, trace morphine in solutions could be detected and identified in both dropping and soaking ways, and the limit of detection is below 10 -4 mg/mL. Importantly, such chip is especially suitable for the detection of trace morphine in aqueous solutions and even domestic sewage. The good SERS performance is attributed to the high-density nanotips and nanogaps on this chip as well as its hydrophobic surface. Additionally, the appropriate surface modification of this Au-JSiNA chip with 3-mercapto-1-propanol or 3-mercaptopropionic acid/1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide can further increase its SERS performances to morphine. This work provides a facile route and practical solid chip for SERS detection of trace morphine in solutions, which is significant to develop the portable and reliable instruments for on-site analysis of drugs in solutions.

A novel biomedical coating was prepared from self-assembled colloidal particles through direct electrodeposition. The particles, which are photo-cross-linkable and nanoscaled with a high specific surface area, were obtained via self-assembly of amphiphilic poly(γ-glutamic acid)-g-7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (γ-PGA-g-AMC). The size, morphology, and surface charge of the resulting colloidal particles and their dependence on pH, initial concentrations, and UV irradiation were successfully studied. A nanostructured coating was formed in situ on the surface of magnesium alloys by electrodeposition of colloidal particles. The composition, morphology, and phase of the coating were monitored using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The corrosion test showed that the formation of the nanostructured coating on magnesium alloys effectively improved their initial anticorrosion properties. More importantly, the corrosion resistance was further enhanced by chemical photo-cross-linking. In addition, the low cytotoxicity of the coated samples was confirmed by MTT assay against NIH-3T3 normal cells. The contribution of our work lies in the creation of a novel strategy to fabricate a biomedical coating in view of the versatility of self-assembled colloidal particles and the controllability of the electrodeposition process. It is believed that our work provides new ideas and reliable data to design novel functional biomedical coatings.

A novel ‘one-step’ in-situ electroless plating method capable of controlling phosphorus content was proposed for the fabrication of spherical core-shell energetic Al@Ni-P composites, aiming to prompt particle ignition by adding easy-to-ignite P element. In this experimental study, the preparation and characterization of Al@Ni-P composites, as well as the effect of coating an alloy shell on the Al particle surface were mainly addressed. The morphology and chemical composition heterogeneity demonstrated that the Al@Ni-P composites possessed comparatively dense double-shell structure. Thermal analysis showed that these composites could accelerate the rate of energy release by decreasing the apparent activation energy ( E a ) for particles oxidation. Laser ignition experiments were then conducted to examine the influence of Ni-P alloy on breaking through the barrier of ceramic phase Al 2 O 3 shell to improve the ignition and combustion performances. Moreover, the composites with surface P of 12.68 at.% exhibited extremely shorter laser ignition delay time of 86 ms under 1 atm O 2 atmosphere, reducing by 65.46% compared with that of raw Al particle (249 ms); and the pressurization rate reached 88.08 kPa/s under 10 atm O 2 atmosphere, which is approximately 11 times that of raw Al particle (8.09 kPa/s). These drastic improvements were attributed to the synergistic effects of double-shell structure and intermetallic compound exothermic reaction, which enhanced mass and heat transfer. These results demonstrate that Al@Ni-P composites have a promising future in solid composite propellants, which exhibit shorter ignition delay time and more vigorous combustion than raw Al. This strategy is expected to provide a new method for the construction of complex core-shell structural materials in other research fields.

The eutectic FeNiCoCrTi0.6Nb0.4 high-entropy alloy coating (HEAC) is annealed in Argon at 450°C, 850°C and 1050°C to investigate the thermal stability. The results show that annealed coatings are all composed of BCC solid solution and Laves phase with no production of new phases. The fine eutectic cells can be maintained at a higher temperature in that continuous intracellular coarsening does not occur until annealing at 1050°C. With the increase of annealing temperature, the microhardness and wear resistance of FeNiCoCrTi0.6Nb0.4 coating increase first and then decrease slightly. Especially, the microhardness of FeNiCoCrTi0.6Nb0.4 annealed at 1050°C is only 6.03% lower than that of unannealed one, and the wear rate is only 10.70% higher than that of unannealed one, which strongly indicates that eutectic FeNiCoCrTi0.6Nb0.4 HEAC has excellent thermal stability and can be well applied in high-temperature environments.
