Herein, a nickel doping-enabled strain engineering strategy is presented to modulate the binding ability of interfacial sites to better reduce the kinetic barriers of the reaction process. The Ni-doped CdS photoanode with an optimal strain degree of 4.85% could realize the photoelectrochemical conversion of bio-based acetophenone to benzoic acid in an ultrahigh yield of 97.6%, outperforming the state-of-the-art catalytic systems. Mechanistic investigations corroborate that the doping of Ni species into CdS nanosheets renders the electron transfer toward Cd sites and induces lattice distortion, which can facilitate the formation of *OH (on Ni with compressible strain) and adsorption of acetophenone (on Cd with tensile strain), significantly alleviating intrinsic competitive adsorption in single sites. Moreover, the strain effect enables the moving down of d orbitals of Ni sites toward the Fermi level to promote the desorption of generated *OH for subsequent nucleophilic attack of acetophenone preactivated by Cd sites, contributing to the enhanced C(O)‒C bond cleavage to afford benzoic acid. The developed photoanode was applicable to the oxidative C–C bond cleavage of various aromatic alcohols and carbonyls containing C(O)–C motifs in lignin derivatives to benzoic acids (85%–99% yields). The two-site lattice strain engineering offers a viable route to activate both substrate and catalytic species for enhanced biomass conversion and organic transformations.","PeriodicalId":16154,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science & Technology","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144547987","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 computational modelling such as density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD) are powerful for investigating RMEAs, these traditional methods are often constrained by high computational cost and limited accuracy. In this work, a deep neural network potential (DNNP) was developed to address the complex compositional nature of FeCr₂V-based RMEAs with varying levels of tungsten doping. The DNNP demonstrated high accuracy, comparable to that of DFT calculations. Utilizing the DNNP, high-accuracy MD simulations were conducted to examine large-scale effects, including short-range ordering (SRO), twining, and dislocation behaviour, on the mechanical properties of the RMEAs. The results indicate that in the SRO structure, the covalency of V-V, Cr-Cr, and V-W ordered atomic pairs enhances local bonding strength and increases the elastic modulus of the RMEA. As the simulation temperature increases, dislocation mobility improves while dislocation density decreases, thereby enhancing the ductility of the material. Above 823 K, the SRO structure demonstrates superior mechanical performance, which is attributed to the increased length of 1/2<111>, dislocations facilitated by the formation of Cr-Fe and Cr-Cr ordered twins. This work underscores the potential of DNNP and MD simulations in predicting and analyzing the mechanical properties of RMEAs, advancing their development for various applications.","PeriodicalId":16154,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science & Technology","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144547988","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}

Microstructural analysis reveals a significant presence of ultra-nanograins (∼5–20 nm) within the topmost surface layer (SL), transitioning to coarser grains beneath, culminating in a gradient structure over 600 μm deep. The GUNG Cu exhibits an exceptional strength-ductility synergy, achieving yield strengths of 250–330 MPa and uniform elongations of 17%–30%. The deformation mechanisms of GUNG Cu are elucidated through in-situ electron backscatter diffraction and microscopic digital image correlation, highlighting the interlayer-compatible deformation of GUNG Cu under tensile loading. It is noteworthy that the topmost ultra-nanograined SL (within depths of 0–2 μm) in GUNG Cu maintains high mechanical stability with minimal change in grain size during tensile plastic deformation, whereas the subsurface layer (at a depth of ∼15 µm) displays a deformation-driven grain coarsening behavior, facilitating deformation compatibility across individual layers. The enhanced strength-ductility synergy exhibited in GUNG Cu can be attributed to the interplay between interlayer compatible deformation and hetero-deformation induced (HDI) hardening, in which softer and harder layers interact with each other, thus promoting the strain hardening throughout the GUNG structure. The present findings provide a more profound understanding of deformation compatibility and HDI hardening mechanisms in gradient structures, demonstrating how tailored microstructural heterogeneity can potentially circumvent the traditional strength-ductility trade-off in nanostructured materials.","PeriodicalId":16154,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science & Technology","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144515361","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}

Our findings revealed that the notable difference in the melting degree of the powder bed is the primary driving force for balling. The coalescence of spherical droplets and the continuous wetting at the melt pool boundary with the powder bed can promote melt track growth. Additionally, numerous pores emerge within the molten pool due to the “liquid phase sintering (LPS) mechanism”.
