Nickel sulfides decorated reduced graphene oxide (rGO) has been produced by co-reducing Ni 2+ and graphene oxide (GO), and is subsequently ball milled with Mg nanoparticles (NPs) produced by hydrogen plasma metal reaction (HPMR). The nickel sulfides of about 800 nm completely in situ change to MgS, Mg 2 Ni and Ni multiple catalysts after first hydrogenation/dehydrogenation process at 673 K. The Mg-5wt%NiS/rGO nanocomposite shows the highest hydrogen desorption kinetics and capacity properties, and the catalytic effect order of the additives is NiS/rGO, NiS and rGO. At 573 K, the Mg-NiS/rGO nanocomposite can quickly desorb 3.7 wt% H 2 in 10 min and 4.5 wt% H 2 in 60 min. The apparent hydrogen absorption and desorption activation energies of the Mg-5wt%NiS/rGO nanocomposite are decreased to 44.47 and 63.02 kJ mol −1 , smaller than those of the Mg-5wt%rGO and Mg-5wt%NiS samples. The best hydrogen desorption properties of the Mg-5wt%NiS/rGO nanocomposite can be explained by the synergistic catalytic effects of the highly dispersed MgS, Mg 2 Ni and Ni catalysts on the rGO sheets, and the more nucleation sites between the catalysts, rGO sheets and Mg matrix.

Conformal and smooth TiO 2 thin layers were coated on the surface of porous PTFE membranes subjected to a plasma activation process by atomic layer deposition (ALD). In contrast, TiO 2 was deposited on the PTFE surface as globular particulates without plasma activation due to the inert chemical nature of PTFE surface. X-ray photoelectron spectrometry confirmed the formation of functional groups on the plasma-activated PTFE surface which served as active sites for the homogeneous adsorption and reaction of ALD precursors. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy revealed the uniformity of the deposited layer and the precise control of its thickness by changing ALD cycle numbers. The water contact angle measurement showed that the hydrophobic surface gradually turned to be near superhydrophilic with the increment of ALD numbers. Also, the membrane mean pore size was progressively reduced by simply altering the ALD numbers. At proper deposition conditions , the modified membranes gained an increase of pure water flux of more than 150% and simultaneously a doubled retention compared to the original unmodified membrane. This research provides an efficient approach devoid of any harsh treatments to modifying PTFE membranes for achieving specific functions, which also can be applied to other organic materials especially with chemical inert surface.

Mg-based alloy anodes suffer from severe corrosion in conventional electrolytes (KOH solution) and this substantially obstructs the cycle life, which is a great challenge for using them in the Ni-MH battery. Herein, a high concentration tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) aqueous electrolyte with a special hydrate structure is explored and enables excellent cycle stability and high capacity for Mg-based alloy anodes. In this electrolyte, the Mg 0.4 Ti 0.1 Ni 0.5 alloy anode delivers a maximum discharge capacity of 466 mAh g −1 , and maintains 210 mAh g −1 after 100 cycles owing to the reduced corrosion rate , which are much better than that in 6 M KOH electrolyte, being 425 mAh g −1 and 69 mAh g −1 , respectively. Furthermore, by in-situ forming Cu coating on the Mg 0.4 Ti 0.1 Ni 0.5 electrode surface during charging process with the adding 0.01 M of Cu(OH) 2 in TMAH electrolyte, the corrosion of the electrode is further suppressed and the reversible capacity can reach 313 mAh g −1 after 100 cycles. The high conducting Cu coating can also increase the rate capability of the electrode by promoting the charge transfer. Thus, using TMAH electrolytes provides a new approach to promote the electrochemical performances of Ni-MH batteries with Mg-based alloy anodes.

Growing of ZnO nanoparticles on PET films without crystal seeding has been achieved by employing polydopamine as the anchor. The PDA layer was formed on the surface of PET film by the polymerization of dopamine. The PDA-PET was dipped into zinc precursors for hydrothermal growth of ZnO nanoparticles. Cluster-like ZnO nanoparticles were obtained and the special structure was affected by the growing time and zinc ion concentration. The surface morphology, structure and properties were characterized, and the functions including antimicrobial activity and UV protection of the ZnO-coated PET film were investigated. The developed facile hydrothermal approach without seeding will benefit the development of UV resistant and antimicrobial PET films.

P2-Na 0.67 Ni 0.33 Mn 0.67 O 2 is considered as a promising cathode material for sodium-ion battery (SIBs) because of its high capacity and discharge potential. However, its practical use is limited by Na + /vacancy ordering and P2-O2 phase transition. Herein, a Ti 4+ /F − co-doping strategy is developed to address these issues. The optimal P2-Na 0.67 Ni 0.33 Mn 0.37 Ti 0.3 O 1.9 F 0.1 exhibits much enhanced sodium storage performance in the high voltage range of 2.0–4.4 V, including a cycling stability of 77.2% over 300 cycles at a rate of 2 C and a high-rate capability of 87.7 mAh g −1 at 6 C. Moreover, the P2-Na 0.67 Ni 0.33 Mn 0.37 Ti 0.3 O 1.9 F 0.1 delivers reversible capacities of 82.7 and 128.1 mAh g −1 at −10 and 50 °C at a rate of 2 C, respectively. The capacity retentions over 200 cycles at −10 °C is 94.2%, implying more opportunity for practical application. In-situ X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that both P2-O2 phase transitions and Na + /vacancy ordering is suppressed by Ti 4+ /F − co-doping, which resulting in fast Na + diffusion and stable phase structure. The hard carbon//P2-Na 0.67 Ni 0.33 Mn 0.37 Ti 0.3 O 1.9 F 0.1 full cell exhibits a high energy density of 310.2 Wh kg −1 and remarkable cyclability with 82.1% retention after 300 cycles at 1 C in the voltage range of 1.5–4.2 V. These results demonstrate that the co-doping Ti 4+ /F − is a promising strategy to improve the electrochemical properties of P2-Na 0.67 Ni 0.33 Mn 0.67 O 2 , providing a facile tactic to develop high performance cathode materials for SIBs.

Development of Ni-rich and Co-poor cathodes (Ni ≥ 80%, Co ≤ 5%) is indispensable for the next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) owing to the serious impact of scarce resources and fragile supply chain of cobalt, but they suffer from a more prominent lattice oxygen emission with serious Li/Ni intermixing as well as worsening crystal and interface structure. Herein, CeO2−x-coated LiNi0.9Co0.045Mn0.045Al0.01O2 has been demonstrated to stabilize lattice oxygen by the well-dispersed Al–O bonds and the reversible oxygen-storage protective layer. The in situ DEMS and ex situ spectral analyses verified the negligible O2 and CO2 emission, even charging to 4.4 V, and the formation of stable cathode–electrolyte interfacial membrane. The as-obtained cathode exhibited a reversible specific capacity as high as 223 mA h g−1 at 0.1C and 140 mA h g−1 even at 10C with 96.7% capacity retention at 1C after 100 cycles in a coin-type half-cell. About 90.1% capacity retention could still be obtained at 1C in a pouch-type full-cell after 300 cycles. This work provides a viable cathode for durable LIBs by stabilizing the lattice oxygen of Ni-rich and Co-poor cathodes.

The aim of the study was to explore the synergistic effects of nanostructure size and surface treatment of TiO 2 coatings on its wettability and bacteria adhesion. The coatings were fabricated by TiO 2 particles with a diameter ranging from 25 nm to 300 nm. The surface wettability of coatings was tuned by chemical treatment. The anti-adhesion property of as-prepared coatings was evaluated with Streptococcus mutans in two types of solutions: phosphate buffer solution (PBS) and PBS with 1 wt% sucrose. The results show that particle size and surface treatment have significant influences on the wettability (with contact angles of 0–160°) and bacterial adhesion. The coating prepared by chemically modified 25 nm particles has a superhydrophobic property, and could inhibit bacterial adhesion in aqueous solutions with sucrose or not. The study also provides a facile, universal and low-cost process to fabricate anti-adhesion coating, which is applicable for diverse of substrates.

This article proposed an improvement plan for the slurry to reduce the dishing caused during copper chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) of the interconnect structure. According to the difference in the pressure between the concave and convex parts of the copper film in the high-hardness polishing pad, polishing slurries were designed with a distinct difference in the polishing removal rate under high and low platen pressures to improve their planarization efficiency. 2 wt% GLY (glycine) and 1 wt% H 2 O 2 can provide a chemical dissolution effect, adding 0.1% TAZ (1,2,4-triazole) to slow down the corrosion mainly for the recession, by adjusting the slurry pH to 7. The polishing results showed that the slurry had a high copper removal rate (6772 Å/min) at high pressure (3.0 psi) and a much lower removal rate (3273 Å/min) at low pressure (1.2 psi). The pattern wafer polished with this slurry obtained relatively low dishing. The other comparison groups showed slight differences in copper removal rate at high and low pressure and a deeper dishing of the polished pattern wafer. In this paper, based on the analysis of static dissolution experiments, electrochemical experiments, and XPS experiments of copper films in different slurries, the chemical reaction mechanism of copper films in the solution system of GLY and H 2 O 2 was studied at different pH values. In addition, the inhibition mechanism of TAZ on the copper surface at different slurry pH values was proposed, including the properties of the TAZ molecule adsorption film on the copper surface, the uniformity of the surface coverage, and the thickness of the passivation layer . The results can reflect the polishing results to a certain extent despite some deviations, but it can also be used as a more reasonable argument to explain the optimization scheme of the slurry proposed in this article.

One of the critical challenges for the protonic ceramic fuel cell stack is sealing electrolytes and interconnects. However, the traditional Ag CuO sealant will aggravate the oxidation along the interconnect surface and result in brittle compound layers at the BaZr 0.1 Ce 0.7 Y 0.1 Yb 0.1 O 3- δ (BZCYYb) electrolyte interface. The present work demonstrates that a silver particle interlayer with high dislocation density can be adopted to join BZCYYb electrolyte to the interconnect (AISI 441 stainless) in air instead of traditional Ag CuO sealant. Elevating temperatures result in a sufficient bonding at the Ag/BZCYYb interface, and a defect-free joint is obtained at 950 °C. Atomic bonding at Ag/BZCYYb interface is confirmed by TEM. Also, a dense and thin oxide layer (2–3 μm) is formed along the AISI 441 interface. Ag particles in the interlayer provide the main driving force for the sintering joining. The massive dislocations promote the recovery and recrystallization of the Ag interlayer, as well as the interdiffusion of BZCYYb/Ag. After aging in the wet oxidizing atmosphere at 600 °C for 300 h, joints remain intact and dense, indicating superior oxidation resistance and aging performance. Besides, the joint shear strength (25.3 MPa) is 59 % higher than that of the joint brazed by traditional Ag CuO.

In response to issues such as poor accuracy and unstable delay times encountered in the practical use of tungsten-based delay compositions, an analysis of the combustion performance of tungsten-based delay compositions with the addition of copper oxide was conducted. This study selected five tungsten-based composite delay compositions prepared by blending tungsten-based delay compositions with copper oxide at different content, aiming to investigate the influence of varying copper oxide proportions on the combustion characteristics of tungsten-based delay compositions. Microscopic morphologies and thermal decomposition behaviors of the tungsten/copper oxide delay compositions were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), while combustion products were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results indicate that copper oxide exerts a strong catalytic decomposition effect on tungsten-based delay compositions. Specifically, a low concentration of copper oxide enhances the combustion rate of tungsten-based delay compositions, while an increase in copper oxide content subsequently slows down the combustion rate. Notably, tungsten-based delay compositions with 9% copper oxide content demonstrate high precision, good stability, and a relatively slow combustion rate, offering a wider range of adjustability for controlling the combustion speed of delay compositions and providing a feasible method for managing the delay time range in practical applications.

Hierarchical forest-like photoelectrodes were prepared by assembling nano-ZnO on an array of micro-metal dendrites, aiming to demonstrate the idea of highly efficient photon-harvesting inside a biomimetic dendrite structure. Via a facile aqueous electrochemical deposition process, the metal dendrites were deposited on both flat and wire substrates with different alignments, showing wide adaptability. A strong, broadband anti-reflection effect was observed, owing to the diffuse reflection inside the microdendrites. By increasing the dendrite height, the overall reflectivity of the metal electrode can be reduced from 75% to 45%, which could be further reduced to 12% after combining with acicular-leaf-like ZnO nanoarrays. Its applications in light-driven water splitting were successfully demonstrated. Taking advantage of the forest-like photoelectrode, we have artificially constructed an efficient photo-electrochemical system similar to plants in a forest, with photons harvested by the crown-like photoanodes in the sunshine, and synthetic reactions driven by the root-like electrode in the shadow.

The SF 6 gas in gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) systems decomposes into SO 2 F 2 , SOF 2 , SO 2 , and H 2 S under abnormal conditions such as partial discharge. The detection of these decomposition gases with high sensitivity is essential for the safe operation of GIS devices. Herein, we report the synthesis of cerium oxide and multiwalled carbon nanotube composite (CeO 2 @MWCNTs). The CeO 2 @MWCNTs composite was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy , X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis. The CeO 2 @MWCNTs composite sensor provided a response value of 7.7 at 100 ppm of SO 2 F 2 at a low operating temperature (50 °C), and the response and recovery features of the CeO 2 @MWCNTs composite sensor were recorded at 43 and 28 s, respectively. Moreover, the composite sensor exhibited excellent stability after two months. The developed CeO 2 @MWCNTs composite sensor can offer an exceptional platform for gas sensing applications in diverse fields.
