However, a comprehensive understanding of how deformation products and their reversion counterparts influence α phase precipitation behavior in these exceptional alloys remains elusive. This study explores the influence of strain-induced martensite (SIM) and its reversion-induced dislocation on the α phase precipitation behavior in a metastable β-Ti alloy. After loading and reloading, SIM lath formed, and some SIM laths subsequently reversed into the β phase, introducing band-like regions with dense and parallel arranged <110> dislocations in the β phase matrix. Such dislocations resulted in a band-like area decorated with short rod-like α phase precipitates during isothermal annealing. Meanwhile, the remained strain-induced martensite decomposed directly into α phase, forming a long α phase with a morphology similar to the original martensite. Additionally, both sides of the original SIM laths reversed during isothermal annealing, forming {332}<113>_β twins at the α/β phase interface. This divided the α phase formed in SIM laths from the α phase formed directly in the β matrix.","PeriodicalId":16154,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science & Technology","volume":"183 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143672763","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}

Herein, lightweight, high-strength and flame-retardant aramid nanofibers-based honeycombs (MANHs) for integrated microwave absorption and thermal insulation are successfully fabricated via the hydrogen bonding assembly, mold forming and aerogel filling strategy using aramid waste as raw material. The dense network structure formed by the interwoven aramid nanofibers (ANFs) in the honeycomb body acts as a framework endows the MANH with impressive mechanical performance, and the specific strength and toughness of MANH reach 153.6 MPa g⁻¹ cm⁻³ and 13.9 MJ m⁻³, respectively, which are 3.5 and 19 times higher than those of commercial microwave absorption honeycombs (CMAH). The ultralight MXene/ANFs aerogels (a density of 25 mg cm⁻³) with multiscale pore structure filled in the honeycomb apertures give the honeycomb outstanding microwave absorption performance, with a minimum reflection loss of −62.5 dB, and can cover the entire X-band with a thickness of only 3.5 mm. Meanwhile, compared with CMAH, the thermal insulation and flame-retardant performance of MANH are also significantly improved. Notably, MANH also demonstrates favorable sound absorption performance at high-frequency bands. The MANH is considered to be a promising candidate for aerospace and military stealth applications as a result of its lightweight, high strength, exceptional microwave absorption, and remarkable thermal insulation performance.","PeriodicalId":16154,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science & Technology","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143666242","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, the main contribution of variant selection in the past two decades mainly focused on the issues associated with the interfaces, and a comprehensive explanation at the micro atomic level is still lacking. In the current work, EBSD, TEM, and SEM were used to analyze the essence of variant selection in combination with the valence electron theory of alloys (VE-theory) and cellular automata (CA) modeling. The results show that the driving force and atom path can be demonstrated for the collective shear and rotation displacements of atoms in martensitic transition; the martensitic variant selection in Ti6Al4V alloy has greater randomness in three aspects, namely area ratio of martensitic variants, two variants formed by the same crystal plane of parent phase <em>β</em>, and the distribution ratios of five typical grain boundaries. The preferred selection of <em>α</em>' variant is mainly affected by atom interaction and element distribution, especially Al and V elements.

Through in-situ irradiated X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ISI-XPS) and femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy (fs-TAS), we demonstrate an ultrafast charge transfer driven by internal electric field (IEF) that efficiently separates photogenerated carriers while preserving their redox potentials. Furthermore, in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy provide direct experimental evidence for the dual-pathway mechanism, involving both the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and water oxidation reaction (WOR). This work demonstrates the potential of S-scheme heterojunction in overcoming the limitations of traditional photocatalytic systems, offering a scalable and sustainable approach for solar-driven H₂O₂ production.","PeriodicalId":16154,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science & Technology","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143666243","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 previous studies, the CG microstructures were equiaxed γ phases, and the FG microstructures presented three types: near gamma, duplex, and nearly lamellar. However, the rule for controlling FG microstructures has not been found. Hence, a method needs to be built to find the rule for controlling FG microstructures. Here, we established a normalized process diagram by combining Al-equivalent and dimensionless process parameters. Based on the normalized process diagram, we successfully control the FG microstructures and customize three FG microstructures of the Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb alloy. Meanwhile, the average tensile yield strength reaches 756 MPa when the FG microstructure is near gamma. The yield strength is higher than the previous data for the Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb alloy. This is attributed to the strong interface-strengthening effect between FG near-γ microstructures and CG γ bands. These findings can help shorten the development cycle of the other TiAl alloys fabricated by EB-PBF, improving the mechanical properties of the other EB-PBF-built TiAl alloys in the future.","PeriodicalId":16154,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science & Technology","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143660343","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}

To achieve the green synthesis of H₂O₂, g-C₃N₄-based photocatalysis is an effective strategy and shows great potential. Nonetheless, single g-C₃N₄ exhibits poor photocatalytic properties due to severe photogenerated charge recombination. To solve this challenge, this work enables F^–adsorption on the surface of g-C₃N₄ nanotubes in solution driven by Coulomb forces through pH adjustment and the addition of NH₄F. The photocatalytic H₂O₂ production rate of the optimal F^–-decorated g-C₃N₄ is three times higher than that of pure g-C₃N₄, attributing to the synergistic effect of F^–and H⁺. Quenching experiments verify that the photocatalytic H₂O₂ production process of CNF is a two-electron oxygen reduction process. Electron quenching dynamics of g-C₃N₄ and CNF are revealed by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy (fs-TAS). Compared to pure g-C₃N₄, CNF has an additional ultrashort lifetime (3.1 ps) representing the interfacial electron transfer from the conduction band of g-C₃N₄ to F^–. In situ fs-TAS results show that the interfacial electron transfer rate and electron utilization efficiency are respectively increased from 1.5×10⁸ s^–1 and 19% in air to 5.0×10⁸ s^–1 and 45% in O₂ atmosphere with ethanol sacrificial agent. Hence, the O₂, H⁺, and photogenerated electrons are key substances in the H₂O₂ evolution.

In this study, we propose a strategy for the scalable production of conductive coaxial fiber (CCF) with superior durability through one-step direct wet spinning coherent solutions. By introducing the polystyrene-block-polyisoprene-block-polystyrene phase in both inner and outer layers, CCFs feature an interleaved topology and share a similar modulus, successfully resolving the issue of layer separation over time. They can endure up to 15000 cycles with no damage at a strain of 100%. In addition, the topological entanglement CCF as a strain sensor exhibits a broad operational range of up to 398.3% strain, outstanding sensitivity (i.e., gauge factor = 6713 at 398.3% strain) and swift response time (248 ms). Enhanced by machine learning, the system achieves a high accuracy rate of 95% in gait recognition and 100% in American Sign Language identification. Furthermore, the CCF can function as a wearable triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) for self-powered sensing and mechanical energy harvesting. This study represents a significant step toward the development of multifunctional micro-wearable electronic devices, which hold immense promise for medical sensing and energy harvesting in smart wearable electronics, human-computer interaction, and artificial intelligence.","PeriodicalId":16154,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science & Technology","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143660345","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}

Then, an additional electric current is periodically applied to the specimen assembly without plastic deformation to keep the temperature elevated. Microstructural observation confirms that the defect-free joint of the selected material combination is fabricated without melting and solidification. The athermal effect of electric current on the diffusion enhancement can be accommodated by introducing the effective activation energy or the effective temperature. The microstructural analysis also demonstrates that the current density both increases the thickness of the intermetallic compound (IMC) layer at the joint interface and affects the microstructural evolution of joining materials. Finally, the mechanical properties of the joint are strongly affected by the electric current density.

Benzene ring replaced the triazine part of the heptazine unit, expanding the π-conjugated structure of the system, promoting electron delocalization, and enhancing the light-absorbing property. P doping led to the creation of an additional donor state within the P 2p band, facilitating the charge separation and lengthening the transport distance of electron-hole pairs. Additionally, the intermediate state gap created in the Urbach tail further strengthened photon absorption and improved effective electron capture. XPS with Ar ion etching at different depths verified the significant potential difference and large dipole moment caused by different doping levels of surface and bulk phase, resulting in a strong BIEF inside the PPCN₂. KPFM, SPV, and DFT calculations confirmed the strong BIEF in PPCN₂.

Traditional treatments for osteomyelitis usually include antibiotics and surgical debridement. However, overuse of antibiotics can result in bacterial resistance and serious side effects. In this paper, a microwave (MW)-responsive composite MoS₂/Bi₂S₃/BaTiO₃ was constructed from flaky nanoflower molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂), rod-shaped bismuth sulfide (Bi₂S₃), and bulk barium titanate (BaTiO₃) for the ‌therapy of bacteria-infected osteomyelitis. Under MW irradiation, MoS₂/Bi₂S₃/BaTiO₃ could generate MW heat and reactive oxygen species (ROS), and its MW thermal response mechanism was investigated by MW vector analysis, which showed that the MW thermal response performance of MoS₂/Bi₂S₃/BaTiO₃ was devoted to the reflection loss, dielectric loss, and suitable impedance matching and attenuation constants induced by the interfacial polarization, dipole polarization, and ferroelectrode polarization. Under MW irradiation, due to strong electromagnetic field enhancement parameters and low oxygen adsorption energy, MoS₂/Bi₂S₃/BaTiO₃ could form a heterogeneous interface to accelerate charge transfer, resulting in ROS. The antibacterial mechanism of MoS₂/Bi₂S₃/BaTiO₃ was investigated by bacterial transcriptome RNA sequencing analysis, which indicated that MoS₂/Bi₂S₃/BaTiO₃ had excellent antibacterial properties.","PeriodicalId":16154,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science & Technology","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143640817","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}
