However, achieving stable nanoscale cathode catalysts under their typically high operating temperatures, normally exceeding 600 °C, remains a significant challenge. By introducing a small amount of RuCl3 into the cathode slurry, an in-situ transformation of the PrBaCo2O5+δ cathode catalyst can be induced from submicrometer-scale irregular particles into nanosheets during SOFC operation. These nanosheets feature a RuO2-modified surface layer, resulting in substantial improvements in both catalytic activity and operational durability. At 750 °C and 0.7 V, SOFCs employing conventional cathode catalysts exhibit a 6.1% degradation in power density over 110 hours, while those employing the nanosheet-structured catalysts achieve an 11.9% increase, ultimately stabilizing at a high-power density of 0.75 W/cm2. This work presents a simple and scalable strategy for constructing high-performance nanocatalysts and deepens our theoretical understanding of catalyst nanostructuring for SOFC applications.","PeriodicalId":16173,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materiomics","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143758647","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 fully harness the potential of EC materials, multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) have emerged as effective and appropriate structures for EC cooling applications. This article provides a comprehensive review of recent advancements and research trends in MLCC–based EC materials, including the fundamentals of the EC effect, the performance of MLCC–based EC materials, EC effect (ECE) measurement, multilayer geometric structure design, and cooling device design based on MLCCs. A comparison of different systems of EC materials, along with an exploration of microstructure improvement, was conducted based on recent studies.

However, the inability to balance high energy storage density (Wrec) and energy storage efficiency (η) has become a technical challenge limiting the miniaturisation of pulsed power devices. This work proposes an entropy-driven strategy, through introducing Sr(Sc0.5Nb0.5)O3 (SSN) as an end-member, to modulate the phase structure and suppress interfacial polarization in the medium entropy matrix, (Bi0.5Na0.5)0.5Ba0.5TiO3 (BN50BT). The introduction of SSN endows BN50BT ceramics with a multiphase structure of P4mm and Pm-3m and successfully establishes a super-paraelectric (SPE) state at room temperature, improving the polarization response. Furthermore, the incorporation of SSN effectively suppresses interfacial polarization and enhances the Eb of the system. Thus, the 0.80[(Bi0.5Na0.5)0.5Ba0.5TiO3]-0.20Sr(Sc0.5Nb0.5)O3 ceramics exhibit a decent Wrec of 6.24 J/cm3 and a high η of 89.02%, along with remarkable stabilities over a wide frequency range (5–150 Hz) and temperature range (25–140 °C). This work demonstrates that the entropy-driven construction of a multiphase-coexisting SPE state, along with suppressed interfacial polarization, represents a feasible approach to optimizing the energy storage properties of dielectric ceramics.","PeriodicalId":16173,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materiomics","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143666659","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}

Among them, the crucial factors constraining the further enhancement of imaging quality are the frequency of the device and the intensity of the echo signal. Piezoelectric composites have become a hotspot for ultrasonic transducers and imaging applications due to their excellent properties. However, due to the limitations of the accuracy of the cutting process, the development of piezoelectric/polymer composites is often undermined by undesirable pseudo-vibrations, especially in high-frequency applications, which will significantly reduce energy conversion efficiency. In this study, a novel design method of 1-3 piezoelectric composites with gradient nanoparticle doped polymer is proposed to eliminate the undesired lateral vibrations. Based on the optimized composites, a high-performance composite ultrasonic transducer with a center frequency of 8.51 MHz is prepared. Compared with the traditional composite transducer, the optimized transducer improves the echo voltage amplitude significantly, reaching nearly 3 times. The above advantages are further verified in high-quality ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging. The optimization method has valuable guidance for the design of high-frequency composite transducers, which have great potential in ultrasonic and photoacoustic imaging applications.","PeriodicalId":16173,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materiomics","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143627591","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}
