The Bi 2 O 3 –B 2 O 3 –SiO 2 –ZnO–Al 2 O 3 (BBSZA) glass/Al 2 O 3 composites are prepared by quenching and quenching-free methods and conducted a comparative analysis of their microstructures and properties. The results reveal that the BBSZA/Al 2 O 3 composite obtained by quenching free method has smaller pores and superior performance. Specifically, at a BBSZA content of 50 wt%, the composite exhibits a thermal conductivity of 5.352 W/m·K and a flexural strength of 193.54 MPa, which are 1.38 times and 2.08 times those obtained using the quenching method, respectively. XRD and TEM analyses , along with parallel experiments using other glasses, suggest that presintering crystallization may be the prerequisite for achieving denser composites via the quenching-free method. BBSZA glass reacts with Al 2 O 3 at the presintering process to generate a great amount of ZnAl 2 O 4 crystals, which enhances grain boundary energy and increases sintering density. This work provides insights into the low-cost and high-performance development of low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC).

In this study, a novel series of supramolecular liquid crystalline (LC) polyurethane composites, named SMPU–#HOBA (# represents the molar ratio of HOBA/BINA), were successfully prepared by incorporating hexadecyloxybenzoic acid (HOBA) into pyridine-containing polyurethane (PU). The effect of HOBA on the structure, morphology, and properties has been carefully investigated. The results demonstrate that the obtained SMPU–#HOBA composites not only maintained the LC property of the HOBA mesogen, but also enhanced the intrinsic crystallization of the soft segment phase. Thus, the composites showed an excellent multi-shape memory property with two crystalline temperatures. Moreover, self-gripping was demonstrated revealing reversible bidirectional shape memory by virtue of molecular flipping and movement of the hard segment domain. These composites display a rare combination of LC properties, multi-shape memory properties, and reversible bidirectional shape memory properties, which makes them ideal for many potential applications in smart temperature sensitive devices.

For Gd 2 Zr 2 O 7 , nanograin ceramics with high relative densities (95%–97.4%) and small average grain sizes (61 nm - 82 nm) were successfully fabricated for the first time using field assisted sintering technique (FAST), also known as spark plasma sintering (SPS) method, in which nanopowders with an average crystallite size of 5.9 nm were synthesized via a non-aqueous gel-combustion method. Temperature was varied over a broad range to investigate its influence on the densification mechanism, microstructure evolution and hardness. The results revealed that both relative density and grain size increase with the increase of sintering temperature . The densification processes were divided to three stages. 1250 °C–1300 °C is the most suitable temperature range to fabricate dense Gd 2 Zr 2 O 7 nanograin ceramics with comparatively high hardness by FAST.

The rapid development of artificial intelligent and internet of things calls for high-performance multifunctional devices for synchronous detection of a wide variety of environmental signals, such as gas, light, and humidity. Herein, highly crystallized tin dioxide (SnO 2 ) microwires (MWs) with low density of point defects are synthesized by the chemical vapor deposition method and constructed into a multifunctional device for photo and humidity sensing. The device shows excellent photoelectric performances, for example, ultralow dark current of ≈10 −13 A, ultrahigh on–off ratio of >10 7 , UV/visible rejection ratio of R 300 nm / R 400 nm > 10 7 , specific detectivity ( D *) of 1.16 × 10 15 Jones, linear dynamic range (LDR) of 152 dB, high responsivity of 18 A W −1 , and fast photoresponse speed of t rise / t decay = 2.7 µs/2.5 ms at 5 V bias. Furthermore, the p-CuI/n-SnO 2 heterojunction shows outstanding self-powered properties, such as responsivity of 8.98 mA W −1 , specific detectivity of 1.98 × 10 12 Jones and LDR of 106 dB at 0 V bias. Additionally, the SnO 2 MWs also show high sensitivity to ambient humidity changes. Therefore, the SnO 2 MWs show high potential for multifunctional applications, such as UV photodetector and humidity sensor.

The double-coated Si-based composite (nano-Si@carbon@void@graphene sheets) with the excellent electrochemical properties have been successfully designed and prepared via a spray drying method. The composite electrode at 0.1 A g −1 presents a high initial discharge/charge capacity of 2744.9/2389.8 mAh g −1 , representing high initial coloumbic efficiency of 87.1%. After 200 cycles, a high charge capacity of 1325.2 mAh g −1 is obtained. Even at 0.8 A g −1 and 1.6 A g −1 , the composite electrode still maintain high capacities of 1466.1 mAh g −1 and 561.5 mAh g −1 , respectively. The enhanced performance is mainly attributed to the double-coated structure with void space resulting from the carbon layer and wrinkled graphene sheets . The three-dimensional network structure from carbon shell and graphene is capable of improving the electrical conductivity of the composite, buffering the significant volume expansion due to the intercalation and deintercalation of lithium-ions on the Si-based electrode, providing accommodation space for the volume changes and diffusion paths for lithium-ions. Furthermore, the part amorphous structure derived from the nano-silicon exhibits a cushioning effect on the electrode structure during the discharge/charge process of lithium-ion batteries.

Tremendous attention has been paid to the structure and properties of silk fibroin/sodium alginate (SF/SA) composite films . However, there is no report devoted to study the formation of hydrogen bonds and their effects on the structures and properties. Herein, SF/SA blends with different mass ratios were obtained and the technic of Gaussian multi-peaks-fitting of Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR) was used to analyze their hydrogen bonds. From the results, the existence of the intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonds was manifested, and the relative strength of the intermolecular hydrogen bond enhanced with the increase of SA content. The contribution of the intermolecular hydrogen bonding was as follows: OH⋯O (ether) > OH … π > OH⋯N. Meanwhile, the increase of intermolecular hydrogen bonding led to the increase of apparent viscosity of the SF/SA blend solutions. Moreover, the relationship between the hydrogen bond and properties (e.g, crystallinity , thermal stability, mechanical properties, morphology and etc.) of SF/SA composite films with different mass ratios were analyzed in detail.

Mesoporous g-C 3 N 4 /Zn–Ti layered double hydroxide (LDH)-laminated van der Waals heterojunction nanosheets were prepared by a facile one-step in situ hydrothermal method . Due to the strong electrostatic interactions between the positively charged Zn–Ti LDH and negatively charged g-C 3 N 4 nanocrystal , a laminated van der Waals heterostructure was successfully formed between Zn–Ti LDH and g-C 3 N 4 . The mesoporous g-C 3 N 4 /Zn–Ti LDH-laminated van der Waals heterojunction, which had a narrow bandgap of 2.41 eV extended the photoresponse to the visible light region. The obtained heterojunctions showed excellent visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance for the complete removal of ceftriaxone sodium (up to ∼97%) and a high hydrogen production rate (∼161.87 μmol h −1 g −1 ). This was mainly attributed to the formation of the laminated van der Waals heterojunctions, which favoured charge separation and the absorption of visible light, and the mesoporous structure, which provided more surface active sites. This facile strategy for preparing mesoporous g-C 3 N 4 /Zn–Ti LDH-laminated van der Waals heterojunctions offers new insights for the fabrication of high-performance van der Waals heterojunction photocatalytic materials.

Oxide-dispersion-strengthened (ODS) tungsten based alloys with high performance were synthesized by optimized freeze-drying with PVP and PEG polymer dispersant additives and subsequent low temperature sintering . The pre-freezing principle developed firstly in our work shows that fast cooling rate and polymer dispersant additives contribute to the refinement and uniformity of precursor powders. The optimized freeze-dried W-Y 2 O 3 composite powders possess an average grain size of 9 nm, which can be attributed to the steric hindrance provided by polymer dispersants during freeze-drying and voids left by the decomposition of polymer dispersants during calcination . After sintering at low temperature, the W-Y 2 O 3 alloys have ultrafine W grain (210 nm) and nano second phase particles (<50 nm) dispersed in W matrix while maintaining a high relative density of 97.8%. These factors mentioned above lead to the microhardness and compressive strength as high as 721 ± 31 HV 0.2 , 814 MPa respectively, accompanied by a high total deformation plasticity of above 50%. These results indicate that the optimized freeze-drying and subsequent low temperature sintering is a promising way to fabricate ODS tungsten based alloys with high performance.

Ni-rich cathodes especially with Ni content over 90 % are promising next-generation cathode materials for advanced high energy lithium − ion batteries. However, in comparison with Ni ≤ 80 % Ni-rich cathodes, these ultrahigh Ni-rich materials face more severe challenges in terms of harmful H2 − H3 phase transformations and structural degradation during cycling. Herein, we present a robust surface structure composted of defect-rich disordered structures and LiF/Li 2 SiO 3 coating for stabilizing the ultrahigh Ni-rich cathode LiNi 0.96 Co 0.03 Mn 0.01 O 2 (NCM96) by modification with (NH 4 ) 2 SiF 6 . The surface disordered structures including Li/TM mixing, spinel, and rock salt structure play a crucial role in inhibiting the irreversible H2-H3 phase transition and reducing lattice volume changes by lattice coherence effect. Moreover, the disordered surface in collaboration with the co-coating restrains the rapid growth of surface rock salt phase into the bulk, enhancing structural stability. The modified sample NSF-0.5 delivers a capacity of 238 mAh/g at 0.1C and maintains a capacity retention of 88.5 % at 0.5C after 100 cycles in half cell as well as 82.3 % at 1C after 300 cycles in full cell, significantly superior to the NCM96. The findings provide a simple and cost-effective surface modification strategy to enhance the structural stability and electrochemical performance of ultrahigh nickel cathodes for high-energy density LIBs.

Skutterudite-based thermoelectric materials have great potential for use in waste heat recovery, but the conventional melting–quench–annealing process is not suitable for large-scale fabrication. In this study, we developed a rapid fabrication technique that combines scanning laser melting and spark plasma sintering to synthesize bulk n-type and p-type filled skutterudites. The kinetics process and microstructure evolution during the scanning laser melting and annealing were systematically investigated. Due to fast solidification in scanning laser melting, the peritectic segregation size of precursor resultants is confined to several microns, which leads to great shortening of the fabrication period of filled skutterudites. The as-synthesized n-type and p-type filled skutterudites achieve excellent dimensionless figures of merit: ZT ∼ 1.23 at 850 K for Yb0.4Co4Sb12.1; ZT ∼ 1.09 at 700 K for In0.5Co4Sb12.1; ZT ∼ 0.79 at 750 K for Ce0.95Fe3CoSb12.1, which are among the highest values of single filled skutterudites. The shortened processing period and enhanced thermoelectric performance make this novel synthesis method suitable for industrial-level large-scale fabrication of skutterudite-based thermoelectric materials.

This paper investigates the kinetics of sodium sulfate crystallization in a stirred bed crystallizer through experimental analysis, focusing on the homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation mechanisms of the compound. Key nucleation parameters, including tension (γ), critical nucleation radius ( r* ), critical nucleation free energy (Δ G* ), and critical nucleation molecule number ( i* ), are measured under various temperatures and supersaturation ratios, utilizing classical nucleation theory. The results demonstrate that as temperature and supersaturation ratio increase, induction time, critical nucleation free energy, critical nucleation radius, and critical molecule number decrease, while nucleation rate increases. The crystal shape remains relatively constant with changes in temperature and supersaturation ratio, but the average particle size increases with higher supersaturation and temperature. The observed changes in nucleation parameters are consistent with classical nucleation theory. In addition, population balance equations are employed to fit kinetic equations for crystal nucleation and growth rates in a stirred crystallization system. The results show that the growth rate increases with higher supersaturation and stirring rates, while the influence of parameters in the nucleation rate equation suggests that suspension density has the greatest effect, followed by supersaturation ratio and stirring rate.
