The exploration of antilaser damage wide bandgap infrared (IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials is urgent but challenging. Herein, by introducing the idea of fluorination into chalcogenides, a wide bandgap IR NLO material Na 3 SiS 3 F with unprecedented [SiS 3 F] tetrahedra is designed and synthesized. Na 3 SiS 3 F shows a wide bandgap of 4.75 eV (the largest one in the reported quaternary metal chalcogenides), resulting in a high laser damage induced threshold of ≈5 × AgGaS 2 (AGS). Meanwhile, the compound has a moderate NLO response (≈0.3 ×AGS) with phase-matching behavior, large birefringence (0.15@1064 nm), and wide IR transparent region. The introduction of fluorine breaks the structural symmetry and broadens the highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO-LUMO) gap, polarizability anisotropy, and hyperpolarizability of the Si–S tetrahedral unit. The results indicate that Na 3 SiS 3 F is a promising IR NLO material for the high-power laser application and open an avenue for the design of new wide bandgap IR NLO materials based on NLO-active [SiS x F 4− x ] ( x = 1, 2, 3) mixed anionic tetrahedral group.

To ensure the performance of C/C composites, a surface-modified C/C composite was prepared with a C/C composite as the substrate, one-dimensional SiC as the intermediate, and vertically oriented graphene as the modification material without changing the microstructure or composition of the C/C composites. C/C composite surface modifications were prepared in two steps. Its specific surface area is improved from 0.25 m 2 /g to 10.44 m 2 /g, and the electromagnetic interference shielding efficiency is enhanced from 13.08 dB to 23.86 dB. Different from the C/C composites without surface modification, the electromagnetic interference shielding mechanism of surface-modified C/C composites changed from electromagnetic reflection to the interaction of electromagnetic absorption and reflection. The reason is that the increased specific surface area elongates the transmission paths of the electromagnetic waves by multiple reflections, leading to significantly improved electromagnetic interference shielding efficiency.

ZrB 2 –SiC coatings are prepared on the surface of graphite by slurry brushing method to improve the oxidation resistance. Effects of ZrB 2 content and polyvinyl butyral (PVB)–ethanol solution concentration on microstructure and static oxidation behavior of the ZrB 2 –SiC coatings are investigated at 1200 °C in air. The results indicate that increasing ZrB 2 content improves the oxidation resistance of the coatings. When ZrB 2 content increases from 30 to 45 wt%, weight loss rates of the coated samples after oxidation at 1200 °C for 120 min decrease from −0.92% to −1.67%. Increasing binder solution concentration raises component content in the coatings. As PVB–ethanol binder concentration increases from 0.025 to 0.075 g mL −1 , weight loss rates of the coated samples after oxidation at 1200 °C for 120 min decrease from 0.32% to −0.38%. Excellent oxidation resistance of ZrB 2 –SiC coating is attributed to self-sealing ability of B 2 O 3 and borosilicate glass. The composite glass can inhibit oxygen diffusion by filling defects in the coating promptly. The borosilicate glass phase can enhance the fluidity of the composite glass. ZrO 2 and ZrSiO 4 particles restrict the growth of the microcrack, which improves the oxidation resistance of ZrB 2 –SiC coating.

Si-based materials are the most potential high-capacity anode material for lithium-ion batteries due to their theoretical specific capacity of 4200 mAh g −1 , significantly higher than the current commercial graphite anode (372 mAh g −1 ). However, the significant volume change (>300%) of Si-based materials during the embedding of lithium ions into Si NPs results in various issues, such as short cycle life and low electrical conductivity , which significantly restricts their commercial development. This study introduces a new flower-like Si@NiO/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) ternary composite synthesized using a straightforward and low-pollution one-step synthesis technique. A distinctive composite flower-like structure is created by wrapping Si NPs in NiO nanoflowers and embedding the rGO nanosheets in the NiO "petal" structure. This structure can shorten the lithium-ion transport path, provide a superb conductive network, effectively reduce the electrode's bulk effect and improve the structural stability of the anode material. Additionally, the structure provides more capacity for the electrodes. At a current density of 1 A g −1 and after 700 cycles, the Si@NiO/rGO anode displays a discharge-specific capacity of 1081.34 mAh g −1 thanks to its one-of-a-kind flower-like structure. At various current densities, the Si@NiO/rGO anode likewise demonstrates outstanding electrochemical performance. Additionally, the volume growth of the flower-like Si@NiO/rGO anode material after 700 cycles is approximately 15.08%, substantially less than that of Si NPs. The new flower-shaped Si@NiO/ rGO ternary composite, synthesized in a simple and cost-effective way, offers not only an alternative for the preparation of Si-based electrode materials that can alleviate their drastic volume expansion but also an effort to create new renewable green energy storage devices.

To maintain the thermal stability of SiC nanowires during SiC coating fabrication process, carbon and SiC double protective layers were covered on the surface of nanowires. And SiC nanowires with double protective layers toughened SiC coating were prepared by pack cementation. The results showed that after introducing the SiC nanowires with double protective layers, the fracture toughness of the SiC coating was increased by 88.4 %. The coating protected C/C for 175 h with a mass loss of 3.67 %, and after 51 thermal shock cycles, the mass losses of the oxidized coating were 3.96 %. The double protective layers are beneficial to improve the thermal stability of nanowires, leading to good fracture toughness and thermal shock resistance of SiC coating. SiC nanowires consume the energy of crack propagation by fracture, pullout and bridging, leading to an increase in fracture toughness.

Using micron silicon as raw material and multi-layer graphene as carbon source, a sandwich-type silicon-carbon composite material is prepared by high-energy ball milling, in which micro-silicon particles are uniformly embedded between the layers of multi-layer graphene. In the process of lithium deintercalation, the graphene sheet can effectively suppress the volume expansion of silicon, thereby improving the high cycle performance and electronic conductivity of the negative electrode of lithium ion batteries. The results show that the average discharge specific capacities are 3094.8, 2406.1, 1845.2, 1210.1, 657.3mAh/g at current densities of 200, 400, 800, 2000, and 4000mAh/g. Each current density is cycled for 5 cycles. When returning from high current to low current, the capacity can still remain at 1729.4 mAh/g, which is greatly improved compared to 671.4 mAh/g of pure silicon. important meaning. It is of great significance for the application of high-capacity silicon carbon anodes.

Higher manganese silicide (HMS) is a naturally abundant, environmentally friendly, and mechanically robust P-type thermoelectric (TE) semiconductor. Isoelectronic doping elements Re and Ge are used to partially occupy cation (Mn) and anion (Si) sites, respectively. Compared with the single Re-doped strategy, TE performance is further improved in the isoelectronic double-doped Mn 0.96 Re 0.04 (Si 0.96 Ge 0.04 ) 1.79 composition. The electrical conductivity (∼54.2 × 10 3 S m –1 at 823 K) is double that of pure HMS (∼26.1 × 10 3 S m –1 ), whereas the power factor increases from ∼1.42 × 10 –3 W m –1 K –2 to ∼1.80 × 10 –3 W m –1 K –2 due to the increase in carrier concentration caused by the decreased band gap (from 0.82 eV to 0.74 eV), as well as the embedding of the Si, Ge nanodispersions with low work functions. Furthermore, the substitution of Re and Ge increases the amounts of lattice defects, and the presence of nanoscale Ge precipitates cause the broadband phonon-scattering effect in the HMS matrix. Finally, the lattice thermal conductivity at 673 K decreases from ∼2.18 W m –1 K –1 to ∼1.60 W m –1 K –1 . The zT value at 823 K increases by ∼36% from 0.45 to 0.61. The strategy of cation and anion double doping can effectively improve the TE properties of materials, which has significance for the optimization of other materials.

The hydration of wettable materials can help to improve their anti-biofouling effect, but their hydration stability under high salinity conditions is a challenge considering the future applications in natural marine environments. Inspired by the self-cleaning properties of crustaceans, chitosan (CS)/Poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels have been prepared, and their anti-biofouling and salt tolerant mechanism were deeply investigated using surface analysis and molecular dynamics simulation . Interestingly, it is found that CS/PVA hydrogels can be controllably triggered at a low pH, and they can self-adjust to enhance anti-biofouling performance following the changes of environmental conditions. The hydration of CS/PVA hydrogels is enhanced in seawater because of a low salt sensitivity factor ( f ) of these hydrogels with a value of less than 0. Super hydrophilicity of CS/PVA hydrogels makes water drop achieve super spreading within 66.5 ms. Compared to PVA hydrogels, almost no crude oil, protein and algae can adhere to the surface of the prepared CS/PVA (0.2:1) hydrogel. The field tests in the south sea of China also demonstrate that CS/PVA (0.2:1) hydrogel has an excellent anti-biofouling ability after 6 months of testing. The anti-biofouling mechanism is also discussed according to the experimental results and molecular dynamics simulation.

In this study, Si@PVDF composite microspheres are prepared by the electrostatic spraying method. The spheres are with average diameter of around 2 μm (when at ideal stoichiometry), within which Si nanopowder is uniformly distributed. The exothermic properties of samples are studied through simultaneous thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry . Benefiting from the improved interfacial contact quality, Si@PVDF shows increased chemical reactivity in terms of reduced reaction onset temperature , peak temperature and apparent activation energy than those of physically mixed Si/PVDF counterpart. Si/PVDF cannot be ignited through Joule heating , either in the powder of pellet form, while self-sustained combustion propagation is observed for Si@PVDF pellets. The combustion behaviors of Si@PVDF pellets are systematically studied in open-air (where light signal is analyzed) and constant-volume (where pressure signal is analyzed) conditions. The results show that the combustion process is influenced by the equivalence ratio, porosity of the pellet and the accessibility of O 2 gas in the environment. Overall, the encapsulation of Si nanopowder into PVDF microspheres using electrostatic spraying shortens the mass and heat transfer distance and thus realizes enhanced energetic characteristics.

Nontrivial topological surface states (TSSs), which possess extraordinary carrier mobility and are protected by the bulk symmetry, have emerged as an innovative platform to search for efficient electrocatalysts toward hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Here, a Sn-based nontrivial metal Ru 3 Sn 7 is prepared using electrical arc melting method. The results indicate that the (001) crystal family of Ru 3 Sn 7 possesses nontrivial TSSs with linear dispersion relation and large nontrivial energy window. Experimental and theoretical results demonstrate that nontrivial TSSs of Ru 3 Sn 7 can significantly boost charge transfer kinetics and optimize adsorption of hydrogen intermediates due to bulk symmetry-protected band structures. As expected, nontrivial Ru 3 Sn 7 exhibits superior HER activity to Ru, Pt/C, and trivial counterparts (e.g., Ru 2 Sn 3 , IrSn 2 , and Rh 3 Sn 2 ) with higher ratios of noble metals. Furthermore, the wide pH-range activity of topologically nontrivial Ru 3 Sn 7 implies the robustness of its TSSs against pH variation during the HER. These findings provide a promising approach to the rational design of topologically nontrivial metals as highly efficient electrocatalysts.

Co 0.9 Cu 0.1 Si alloy was fabricated via mechanical alloying technique. Different amount of palladium was doped into the Co 0.9 Cu 0.1 Si alloy by ball milling. The composite alloy combined the excellent electrocatalysis activity of Pd, exhibiting preferable electrochemical performance than the original alloy. The Co 0.9 Cu 0.1 Si + 5 wt% Pd composite showed a C max of 559.2 mAh/g, significantly higher than that for Co 0.9 Cu 0.1 Si (502.1 mAh/g). The cycle stability was also enhanced after Pd loading. Moreover, the effect of ball milling time on electrochemical performance for the composite alloy was also investigated. 5 wt% Pd was mixed with the Co 0.9 Cu 0.1 Si alloy at different ball milling time (0.5 h, 1 h, 2 h, 3 h and 5 h). The optimal discharge capacity, capacity retention and high-rate dischargeability were obtained under the ball milling time of 2 h. The studies on electrochemical reaction kinetics demonstrated that the addition of Pd could accelerate the charge-transfer, thus enhancing the electrochemical activity and reaction kinetics of the alloy. The results indicated that Pd loading was an effective way in enhancing the electrochemical performance of Co 0.9 Cu 0.1 Si alloy.

The oxidation behavior of W-Si bulk composite was investigated to evaluate its performance on the simulating accidental environment in the future fusion reactor. Tungsten trisilicide is the main functional phase, which can form amorphous SiO y and polycrystalline WO 3 with nano-porous network during oxidation. This special structure can not only retard W volatilization, but also offer well self-adaption adjustment to different phases. In addition, cracks at the oxide scale/composite interface can be self-healed with the help of this structure. Protrusions are found on the surface of the oxidized W-32Si related with Fe impurity. The vapour-liquid-solid mechanism for the protrusions is proposed.
