This study endeavors to tackle this issue by introducing a novel composite insulating film tailored to function as a thermal barrier within LIBs. Comprising exfoliated SnSe (tin selenide) and mesoporous silica bonded via Zn ion gelation, the composite showcases a low thermal conductivity of 0.131 W/mK alongside a robust tensile strength of 52.7 MPa. These attributes stem from the distinctive amalgamation of materials and the robust interfacial interactions facilitated by Zn ion gelation, thus enhancing thermal stability and mechanical resilience. The devised DGEBA/SnSe-MSN composite exhibits notable flame retardant properties and superior thermal management capabilities, positioning it as a promising candidate to bolster the safety and dependability of LIBs.

Unfortunately, the defects of steel structures such as collapse at high temperature, poor corrosion resistance, and bad surface functionality have severely restricted their further application. Applying functional coatings for steel structures is considered the effective strategy for settling theses disadvantages. Inspired by nature, eco-friendly, superhydrophobic, and multifunctional-integrated coatings were fabricated on steel via one-step spraying strategy in this paper. Along with silicon dioxide (SiO₂) nanoparticles and epoxy resin/silicone resin (EP/SR), the coatings are jointly constituted by hydrophobic flame retardants (M-ALHP@ZIF-8) prepared via multi-stage modification. Due to the formation of micro/nano-scaled rough structure with low surface energy, the water contact angle (WCA) and water sliding angle (WSA) of as-prepared coatings can reach 162.4° ± 1.2° and 2.8° ± 0.4°. The water repellency with low water adhesion can endow the surface of steel with excellent self-cleaning, anti-fouling, and long-lasting anti-corrosion ability. Additionally, the superhydrophobic coatings have displayed good mechanical robustness, chemical stability and weather resistance, which can exhibit certain actual values. Accorded with Zn-catalyzed charring effect of flame retardants, as-prepared coatings have possessed outstanding fire protection capacity with the lowest backside temperature of 181 °C after 1 h fire impact tests. Consequently, this work has provided a facile and effective route for synchronously tackling the key challenges of poor fire protection and surface functionality for steel structures, which will be expected to pave the wide pathway for constructing multifunctional coatings in more fields.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10660,"journal":{"name":"Composites Part B: Engineering","volume":"287 ","pages":"Article 111850"},"PeriodicalIF":12.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142310338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, a bioinspired interpenetrating Ti₂AlNb/TiAl composite with crossed-lamellar structure was prepared by combining selective laser melting (SLM) and vacuum hot press sintering (HPS) under the condition of 1150 °C/1 h/45 MPa, to improve the strength and toughness of the composite. Meanwhile, the metallurgical defects and microstructure of Ti₂AlNb reinforcement skeleton printed under different volume energy densities (<em>VEDs</em>) were investigated, as well as the evolution of the microstructure at the interface region of the composite was systematically studied. What's more, we studied the mechanical properties of the composite including nanoindentation test, room temperature tensile and bending tests. The results show that the <em>VED</em> is 88.89 J/mm³, an almost completely dense reinforcement skeleton (∼99.8 %) is obtained.

A locally activated zinc anode (Zn-ILA) is proposed as the proof-of-concept zinc anode by constructing high-active microchannels to induce preferential zinc deposition, while the remaining low-active region is accompanied by zinc epitaxial growth, thus achieving bottom-up zinc deposition at the anode interface. A fabrication method based on nanosecond pulsed laser is used to modify the zinc anode by creating high-active microchannels through thermal impingement. Additionally, low-active regions covered by dense ZnO nanoparticles are also formed due to the plasma effect. The laser-induced cross-scale oxide layers help improve the corrosion resistance at the full zinc anode interface. The proposed interfacial local activation strategy enables ordered selective deposition at the Zn-ILA interface owing to the activity gradient, as well as stabilizes the long-term operation of symmetric and full cells.
