Nanocomposite Al–Sn-based bearing alloys produced by mechanical alloying (MA) exhibit high hardness; however, their poor sintering density and ductility limit their wide spread application. Here, we present a strategy to produce a dual-scale structure in an Al–Sn–Si alloy consisting of coarse and ultrafine grains through a combination of conventional powder sintering and thermomechanical treatment . We found that severe deformation and the presence of an Al–Si eutectic mixture for sample induced abnormal grain growth of Al to create the dual-scale Al–Sn–Si alloy through annealing treatment. An optimum matching of ductility and strength , and optimum wear performance were achieved at annealing temperatures of 500 and 550 °C. Detailed investigation of the wear mechanism revealed that the combination of high strength and high ductility provided by the dual-scale structure is a key factor for the improvement of the wear properties.

In this study, we reported a new method to fabricate superhydrophobic Al films by combination of HCl/H 2 O 2 etching and electrophoretic deposition process. Through this two-step method, multi-scale hierarchical structures were successfully introduced on the surface. After hydrophobization, the resultant surface showed an excellent superhydrophobicity with a water contact angle of 169.6° and a sliding angle of ca. 1°. Furthermore, the surface exhibited excellent mechanical durability and could withstand abrasion tests under 8 kPa for 60 cm without losing superhydrophobicity. It also maintained superhydrophobicity when exposed to air or water for a long-term period. This work provides a cost efficient method to prepare mechanically robust and stable superhydrophobic Al alloy surface.

Improving the energy release efficiency of aluminium powders in weaponry is essential. In this study, uniform core-shell Al@(PFDTES/GAP) was prepared by hydrolyzing PFDTES and co-reacting it with GAP on aluminum powder. It showed better thermal reaction, combustion and energy release. The thermal properties of Al@(PFDTES/GAP) exhibit a significant aluminum-fluorine exothermic phenomenon in DSC, with a 4.9 % increase in exothermic heat in the combustion test compared to raw-Al. For the samples blended with PTFE, Al@(PFDTES/GAP)/PTFE demonstrated excellent performance in terms of increased heat release (increased by 28.0 %) in DSC, higher heat release (increased by 10.2 %) in the heat of combustion test, larger combustion flame area and faster combustion speed (the time reduced by 20.0 %) in the air, compared with that of raw-Al/PTFE. In conclusion, this method is simple and effective to enhance the energy release of aluminium powder, which is of great significance for improving the energy of weapons and equipment.

Aluminum has been long and widely used in propellants, thermite, and pyrotechnics. However, the commonly used micron aluminum has the problems of slow burning rate and incomplete release of chemical energy in the combustion process. Therefore, finding ways to promote the ignition and combustion of aluminum is essential to enhance the performance of aluminum-based energetic materials. Herein, environmentally friendly tannic acid (TA) and tea polyphenols (TP) were used to surface modify aluminum to improve its combustion performance, respectively. The results showed that TA and TP could be coated on the outer surface of aluminum particles effectively by solvent evaporation induced self-assembly method. Heat was released during the thermal decomposition of the composite particles, which was clearly beneficial in promoting aluminum ignition. Ignition and combustion tests showed that after modification with TA and TP, the samples showed shorter ignition delay, increased combustion time, increased combustion intensity, and reduced agglomeration compared to pure aluminum. This revealed that the modified samples possessed better ignition and combustion properties. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the condensed combustion products showed that the products of pure aluminum possessed more active aluminum and aluminum nitride, while the samples modified with TA and TP had more γ-Al 2 O 3 and α-Al 2 O 3 , suggesting that TA and TP could effectively enhance the combustion efficiency of aluminum. In addition, TP showed better modification than TA, which may be related to the higher heat release during thermal decomposition of TP. Although TA and TP can improve the ignition and combustion performance of aluminum to some extent, the enhancement effect is limited. Considering that TA and TP possess good adhesion, perhaps they can play a better role in promoting as intermediate layers in the future. It is hoped that this paper can provide a new idea for the surface modification of aluminum.

The segregation of aluminum-silicon alloys directly impacts the mechanical and chemical properties of the alloys, Therefore, homogenization of alloys is of great significance for alloys. This study initially investigated the electrochemical behavior of aluminum (III) and silicon (IV) during the preparation of aluminum-silicon (Al-Si) alloys in NaF-AlF 3 -Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 molten salts through cyclic voltammetry and steady-state polarization. The results revealed that Al 2 O 3 underwent one-step reduction to Al, whereas SiO 2 underwent a two-step reduction process to Si. In addition, electrolysis experiments were carried out in a NaF-AlF 3 -Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 -5wt%CaF 2 -1wt%MgF 2 -2wt%LiF molten salt system with molecular ratio of 2.4. These experiments involved variations in current density, electrolysis time, Al 2 O 3 and SiO 2 additions. It is worth noting that under the conditions of current density of 0.7 A/cm 2 , electrolysis time of 2 h, and silica addition of 2 %, the reduction rate of silicon reached a maximum value of 72.57 %, at which time the silicon in the aluminum-silicon alloys showed a dendritic structure, which was uniformly distributed throughout the entire alloy, and the segregation of the alloy was effectively avoided.

Abstract PcBN (polycrystalline cubic boron nitride) carbide insert were synthesized with cBN/Zr/Al as raw material under high temperature and pressure. The effects of synthesis pressure on the interfacial morphology, wear resistance, microhardness and flatness of PcBN carbide insert were investigated. The test results show that with the increase of synthesis pressure, the composite interfacial bond is more dense and homogeneous, and the bonding strength between the cBN layer and the alloy substrate is higher. Additionally, the density, microhardness and abrasion resistance of the PcBN carbide insert were improved. Meanwhile, under the ultra-high pressure, the thickness deviation of the PcBN carbide insert gradually decreases, the thickness distribution gradually becomes uniform, and the flatness of the samples gradually becomes better.

Herein, a 413-type high-entropy (Mo 0.2 Cr 0.2 Nb 0.2 Ti 0.2 V 0.2 ) 4 AlC 3 MAX phase was successfully prepared. To elucidate the influence of high-energy ball milling on microwave absorption performance, the microstructural evolution and electromagnetic characteristics of materials subjected to varying milling durations were comprehensively investigated. Via the ball-milling process, multiple reflections, polarization loss and conductive loss are largely improved due to particle size refinement, formation of thin flakes and increased shape anisotropy. Comparative analysis revealed substantial performance enhancement in samples milled for 1 h (M1) and 3 h (M3). The unmilled powders (M0) demonstrated a minimum reflection loss (RL min ) of -23.1 dB at 4.5 mm thickness and an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 2.6 GHz at 5.0 mm. In contrast, M1 achieved a RL min low to -51.8 dB at 2.3 mm, while M3 exhibited an optimal EAB of 4.1 GHz at 1.06 mm. However, extending the milling duration to 6 h resulted in diminished absorption performance compared to M1 and M3, primarily due to compromised impedance matching characteristics. Therefore, via a proper ball-milling process, microwave absorption performance of high-entropy MAX phase powders can be remarkably boosted, providing a straightforward and effective approach for performance optimization in electromagnetic wave absorption applications.

Ti 3 AlC 2 powder was prepared via an efficient solid-liquid reaction in flowing argon using coconut shell charcoal as novel carbon source, and phase evolution, microstructure and oxidation behavior of Ti 3 AlC 2 powder were investigated. The results show that coconut shell charcoal is dominated by amorphous carbon after carbonization with some turbostratic graphite-like structure, and large specific surface area of coconut shell charcoal gives its excellent reactivity. Ti 3 AlC 2 powder prepared at 1400 °C for 1.5 h exhibits good crystallinity and typical nanolayered structure. Ti 3 AlC 2 powder remains thermally stable in air below 552 °C, while oxidizing occurs rapidly between 900 and 1100 °C. The isothermal oxidation curves show a parabolic-like, indicating that the oxidation process is primarily controlled by a diffusion mechanism. The good oxidation resistance of Ti 3 AlC 2 powder is attributed to the oxidized products of TiO 2 and Al 2 O 3 grains formed a connected and dense protective layer on the particle surface at elevated temperatures.

Graphitic carbon has been emerged as one of the most promising anode materials for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) due to its moderate theoretical specific capacity, high electrical conductivity, and outstanding chemical stability. However, the structure of graphitic carbon usually experiences irreversible damage during the charge and discharge process, primarily due to the large radius of potassium ion. In contrast to the traditional preparation methods, we develop a low-carbon approach to obtain graphitic carbon with larger lattice spacing via a rapid chemical conversion between CO 2 and NaAlH 4 at ∼62 °C. We confirm that the CO 2 /NaAlH 4 ratio plays a crucial role in increasing the degree of graphitization and promoting the formation of a flaky morphology of carbon materials. When applied as an anode material for potassium storage, the prepared graphitic carbon exhibits outstanding cycling stability and rate performance. It maintains a reversible capacity of 210 mAh g −1 after 1000 cycles at a current density of 0.1 A g −1 , with a capacity retention rate of 95.9 %. This efficient method of preparing graphitic carbon provides valuable inspiration for the development of advanced energy storage materials.

Surface modification is frequently used to solve the problems of low combustion properties and agglomeration for aluminum-based fuels. However, due to the intrinsic incompatibility between the aluminum powder and the organic modifiers, the surface coating is usually uneven and disordered, which significantly deteriorates the uniformity and performances of the Al-based fuels. Herein, a new approach of monolayer nano-vesicular self-assembly is proposed to prepare high-performance Al fuels. Triblock copolymer G-F-G is produced by glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) and 2,2′-(2,2,3,3,4,5,5-Octafluorohexane-1,6-diyl) bis (oxirane) (fluoride) ring-open addition reaction. By utilizing G-F-G vesicular self-assembly in a special solvent, the nano-sized vesicles are firmly adhered to the surface of Al powder through the long-range attraction between the fluorine segments and Al. Meanwhile, the electrostatic repulsion between vesicles ensures an extremely thin coating thickness (≈15 nm), maintaining the monolayer coating structure. Nice ignition, combustion, anti-agglomeration, and water-proof properties of Al@G-F-G(DMF) are achieved, which are superior among the existing Al-based fuels. The derived Al-based fuel has excellent comprehensive properties, which can not only inspire the development of new-generation energetic materials but also provide facile but exquisite strategies for exquisite surface nanostructure construction via ordered self-assembly for many other applications.

The trace-level detection of tetracyclines (TCs) in food products is essential to ensure food safety and public health. Herein, we prepared the methionine-doped carbon quantum dots (Met-CQDs) using citric acid as the precursor. Met-CQDs exhibited a Gaussian unimodal peak centered at 440 nm in the fluorescent excitation spectrum, along with a remarkable greenish-blue emission and a fluorescent quantum yield of 33.5 %. Furthermore, the presence of TC (the quencher) caused a rapid quenching of the fluorescence of Met-CQDs, accompanying with a color transition from light blue to dark bule as TC concentrations increased. The coloring variation was also detected by the images captured by smartphones and RGB analysis software, facilitating portable detection of TC utilizing Met-CQDs as a fluoroprobe. The findings indicate that the Met-CQDs based fluoroprobe exhibits high selectivity, rapid response (only ∼1 min) according to an “ON-OFF” sensing model. This fluorescence sensing method gave a low detection limit (LOD) of 0.032 μM and excellent linearity for TC in the concentration range of 0.1–500 μM. Also, the smartphone-based fluorescence-visualizing approach displayed good linearity with a LOD of 0.33 μM. The interactions between this fluoroprobe and TC occurred by virtue of both inner filter effect (IFE) and static-quenching principle. The average recovery for TC in the milk, honey, and tap water samples was determined to be 98.46 ± 1.71 % by a fluorometric method. Overall, both fluorometric and RGB approaches demonstrate strong correlation with conventional LC-MS/MS, and thus the as-fabricated Met-CQDs are promising for the preliminary screening of TCs’ residues in food products.

Ultrasensitive Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) method for the detection of diquat/dipterex was established using bovine serum albumin (BSA)-protected silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) modified MIL-53(Al) (named as BSA/MIL-53(Al)/AgNPs). Compared with unmodified AgNPs, BSA/MIL-53(Al)/AgNPs significantly enhanced the Raman signals of diquat and dipterex and the enhancement factors (EFs) were 1.58 × 10 7 and 2.34 × 10 7 , respectively. The TEM, XRD, TGA, XPS, UV–vis and FT-IR were utilized to characterize BSA/MIL-53(Al)/AgNPs and the binding of the substrate with diquat/dipterex. The optimal measurement conditions were investigated in detail by single factor experiment and response surface model. The impacts of common pesticides and coexisting substances on the determination of diquat/dipterex were studied. Under optimum conditions, linear calibration curves for detecting diquat/dipterex were established with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.17/0.89 pmol L −1 (3 S 0 / S ). The SERS approaches were used to detect diquat and dipterex in several fruits and vegetables. The recovery was 97.10 %–104.82 % with the relative standard deviation (RSD) of 1.04 %–4.15 % ( n = 5).
