Contact angle measurement has been performed to examine the contact between electrode and electrolyte. Electrocatalytic effects have been investigated through cyclic voltammetry (CV) and Tafel polarization.

The FCO exhibits flower-like nanosheets structure whereas the PANI shows irregular coral-reef structure. A similar flower-like morphology is observed in the FCO/PANI composite. The surface of the composite appears to be rough and porous, which improves the electrode-electrolyte contact, as supported from the contact angle measurement. The FCO/PANI composite exhibits the highest electrocatalytic activity and the lowest charge transfer resistance, followed by PANI, FCO and Pt. The efficiencies of DSSCs assembled with FCO, PANI, FCO/PANI and Pt counter electrodes are 4.22, 5.58, 6.38, and 3.58 %, respectively.

RHEAs have emerged as materials that exhibit superior properties, such as high melting temperatures, excellent temperature resistance, and high wear and corrosion resilience, in addition to high mechanical and fatigue strength. These attributes have made them extensively studied materials in recent times. The properties of RHEAs suggest their safe operation in challenging environments such as nuclear reactors, gas turbines, aerospace, and energy production. Among refractory materials, RHE-Cs stand out for their high strength and low density, showing significant potential for use in the automotive, aerospace, and space industries. Another group with a wide range of applications, RHE-Ce materials, is distinguished by their high-temperature resilience, high hardness, and low thermal conductivity, making them suitable for high-temperature environments. Refractory materials are generally fabricated using traditional techniques such as arc melting, powder metallurgy, and magnetron sputtering. In this study, along with traditional production methods, additive manufacturing techniques which have revolutionized the manufacturing field are discussed concerning their applications in refractory material production.
