However, it has been observed that the addition of ternary alloying elements can significantly improve the metallurgical and mechanical properties of these IMCs. This study investigates the intricate influence of alumina particles on the SS-Al interface, uncovering insights into melt pool forces, tri-layered IMC formation, nano-grained IMC layers, and an inverse Hall-Petch relationship. Three thin-walled SS-Al structures were deposited via wire arc directed energy deposition (WA-DED), incorporating varying alumina content levels (20, 30, and 40 mg/mm). Alumina decomposition released elemental and gaseous oxygen, affecting IMC layer thickness. Oxygen content at the interface increased with alumina concentration (from 20 mg/mm to 40 mg/mm), which in turn altered Marangoni and buoyancy forces, significantly impacting the IMC thickness and respective grain size. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and electron back-scattered diffraction analyses revealed FeAl, Fe<sub>2</sub>Al<sub>5</sub>, and FeAl<sub>3</sub> layers, with Fe<sub>2</sub>Al<sub>5</sub> layer thickness increasing with alumina content. The nanometric grain size of Fe<sub>2</sub>Al<sub>5</sub> and FeAl<sub>3</sub> (∼77.69 nm and 52.68 nm) were observed at the bimetallic interface of lower alumina content (20 mg/mm) which justifies their respective hardness with the inverse Hall-Petch relationship.

The development of efficient semiconductor photocatalysts is pivotal for advancing next-generation energy technologies. This study presents a systematic analysis of the four critical rate-determining steps in COFs photocatalysis: (1) photon absorption, (2) exciton dissociation, (3) charge carrier diffusion and complexation, and (4) surface redox reactions. The kinetic constraints and thermodynamic barriers associated with H<sub>2</sub>/H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> production by COFs-based photocatalytic systems are critically evaluated, with particular emphasis on advanced regulation strategies: (i) enhancing light-harvesting through conjugated structure optimization and external sensitization, (ii) promoting exciton dissociation via Förster resonance energy transfer and localized electronic structure modulation, (iii) strengthening charge separation via crystallinity engineering and polarized field enhancement, and (iv) increasing surface active sites through microenvironment tailoring and cocatalyst integration while reducing reaction energy barriers via pH optimization. Finally, current challenges and future design paradigms for constructing COFs with enhanced photocatalytic performance are critically analyzed, with special consideration of stability-activity trade-offs and scalable synthesis protocols.","PeriodicalId":16154,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science & Technology","volume":"170 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144533884","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, achieving both a high anisotropy ratio and superior photoresponse in current materials remains challenging, creating a need for effective regulation techniques. Here, a novel paradigm is presented for applying pressure as a regulating knob to enhance both photoresponse and its anisotropy by overcoming the limitation imposed by the inherent in-plane bonding anisotropy of ZrSe<sub>3</sub>. In situ high-pressure experiments show that the photoresponsivity along the <em>a</em>/<em>b</em>-axis increases by three orders of magnitude within 0.1–16.0 GPa, while its anisotropy ratio improves from 0.9 to 1.7. First-principles calculations confirm that the enhanced electronic coupling between Se–Se dimers along the <em>a</em>-axis under pressure promotes photo-generated carriers' transport and separation, leading to higher photoresponse than along the <em>b</em>-axis. In addition, ZrSe<sub>3</sub> exhibits a rare self-driven positive-negative photocurrent transition at approximately 7.4 GPa, which can well detect the pressure-induced n-p conduction switch in photoelectric materials.
