Crystallization of glass into transparent ceramics has emerged recently as an alternative but complementary trajectory for obtaining transparent ceramics, which circumvents some of the long-standing technical difficulties associated with traditional transparent ceramics processing. The full bulk glass crystallization allows for the synthesis of high-density/low-porosity transparent ceramics of stable and metastable phases or even non-cubic structures, which are difficult to obtain using the traditional processing methods. This article presents a brief survey of the science of the transparency of ceramics and a detailed overview of the materials systems and techniques used for the preparation of transparent ceramics through the glass crystallization route. Finally, the review provides authors' insights into the future trends and research directions aimed to encourage a widespread application of glass crystallization into transparent ceramics in the fabrication of next-generation materials.","PeriodicalId":14427,"journal":{"name":"International Materials Reviews","volume":"68 1","pages":"648 - 676"},"PeriodicalIF":16.1,"publicationDate":"2022-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48727103","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, we provide an overview on it, with emphasis on the typical microstructures of DED alloys and discuss the processing-microstructure-mechanical property correlations. Comparison is made with those manufactured using the conventional techniques and those obtained with laser beam powder bed fusion (LB-PBF). The characteristic solidification rates and thermal histories in DED result in distinct micro- and meso-structural features and mechanical performance, which are succinctly summarized. The potential of DED for manufacturing graded materials and for component repair is elaborated while highlighting the key-associated challenges and possible solutions. Modelling and simulation studies that facilitate an in-depth understanding of the DED technique are summarized. Finally, some critical issues and research directions that would help develop DED further and extend its application potential are identified.","PeriodicalId":14427,"journal":{"name":"International Materials Reviews","volume":"68 1","pages":"605 - 647"},"PeriodicalIF":16.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45331900","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}

Significant progress has been made in developing novel materials for these devices, but less attention has focused on developments in electrode and device manufacturing. While electrodes are traditionally made through slurry casting of electrochemically active material, advanced manufacturing techniques enable patterning of novel electrode architectures and control of device geometries in real-time, which can potentially result in electrodes with increased loading, improved electrochemical performance, and added functionality, such as flexibility and wearability. These inexpensive methods are particularly suited for lab-scale research and start-up companies, as they enable rapid prototyping without a full device production line. The present review describes three main methods of advanced manufacturing (inkjet printing, direct ink writing, and laser-induced graphene techniques) and evaluates the performance of batteries and supercapacitors fabricated via these methods in comparison to traditionally manufactured devices.","PeriodicalId":14427,"journal":{"name":"International Materials Reviews","volume":"68 1","pages":"323 - 364"},"PeriodicalIF":16.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49100912","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}

However, it remains challenging to fabricate a large-area and dense perovskite film using solution-based deposition methods. This is due to perovskite wet films being highly sensitive and unstable, and thus having only a narrow processing window. There is therefore a demand for ways to expand the processing window in the fabrication of perovskite films. Herein, we systematically review research on the role of precursor solutions and antisolvents during the perovskite formation process, and reveal the fundamental factors governing the width of the perovskite film-processing window. Then, we give an overview of current strategies for enlarging the processing window, which includes solvent and antisolvent engineering strategies. We conclude by summarizing current challenges in the development of perovskite solar modules with a wide processing window and provide perspectives for future development.","PeriodicalId":14427,"journal":{"name":"International Materials Reviews","volume":"68 1","pages":"301 - 322"},"PeriodicalIF":16.1,"publicationDate":"2022-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48023646","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}

While new progress is being made continuously, many critical challenges remain. The effort on PCEC investigation could be more aligned for greater collective impact, e.g. the academic community could devote more effort to overdue critical problems but less to incremental improvements. This review aims to provide some insightful perspectives on critical challenges facing the development of PCECs, to sort out priorities in future effort, and to suggest promising directions to pursue. In this way, it is hoped that the technical readiness level of PCECs might advance more quickly, toward field demonstrations and commercialization for a clean and sustainable energy era.
