This study presented the synthesis of a novel nanocomposite, TiO<sub>2</sub>@Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub>, using a one-step molten salt-shielded (MS<sup>3</sup>) method under an air atmosphere at a low temperature of 1000 °C. A unique aspect of this process was the successful extraction of copper from molten salt using iron bars without any chemical agents. The synthesized TiO<sub>2</sub>@Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub> was subsequently coupled with low band-gap carbon nitride (C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>5</sub>) via an ultrasonic (US) technique, forming a Z-scheme ternary (C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>5</sub>/TiO<sub>2</sub>@Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub>) nanocomposites with a 2D/0D/2D structure. The ternary nanocomposite exhibited remarkable photocatalytic performance, achieving 100% efficiency in degrading dye molecules under optimal conditions, which included a pH of 5, a nanophotocatalyst dose of 100 ppm, a rhodamine B (Rh B) concentration of 10 ppm, room temperature, and a reaction time of 30 min. The C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>5</sub>/TiO<sub>2</sub>@Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub>/Cu composite also exhibited promising electrocatalytic performance for HER with a Tafel slope of 103 mV.dec<sup>−1</sup> and an overpotential of 51 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm<sup>−2</sup> under alkaline conditions. The significant improvement in photocatalytic water remediation and HER performance is likely due to several key factors: the strong interfacial coupling between the 2D/0D/2D materials, which promotes efficient charge separation; the reduced recombination rate of electron-hole pairs, enhancing photocatalytic efficiency; the highly improved electron-transfer processes, which accelerate reaction kinetics; and the increased number of exposed photo- and electrocatalytic active sites, providing more surface area for reactions. These combined effects result in better overall performance for photocatalytic and HER applications. Furthermore, the MTT assay demonstrated a reduction in the toxicity of C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>5</sub> upon forming the ternary nanocomposite. These findings suggest that the synthesized ternary nanocomposite enhances photocatalytic and HER efficiency and reduces toxicity, making it a valuable material for environmental and energy applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17219,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Science: Advanced Materials and Devices","volume":"10 1","pages":"Article 100846"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143092760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, a novel 3D-printing polybutadiene polyurethane acrylate photosensitive resin named HTPBMA was prepared by mixing hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) as the base material with other active diluent monomers and photoinitiators, including hydroxypropyl methacrylate (HPMA). The resulting resins exhibited good rheological properties and rapid photocuring ability, depending on the type and proportion of diluent monomer.

Hence, we performed tensile experiments on 304L and 316L alloys containing varying amounts of Ni content, simulating actual material deformation conditions. We conducted an analysis of the impact of Ni content on SIMT and presented a detailed description of the martensite nucleation and growth process. Subsequently, we conducted an analysis of the orientation connection of the martensitic transition using TEM. Subsequently, we summarized the effects of SIMT and hydrogen on the tensile, creep, and fatigue properties of materials. It was generally observed that in a hydrogen environment, SIMT, as a high-speed diffusion channel for hydrogen, exacerbates the detrimental effect of hydrogen on the material's mechanical properties. The significance of minimizing SIMT to enhance the hydrogen performance of metastable ASS is emphasized, and this article concluded by summarizing the practical methods for reducing the SIMT: optimizing the alloy composition, controlling the deformation temperature, and using post-forming annealing treatment. Through discussion, it was concluded that controlling the deformation temperature is not recommended as a method to eliminate strain-induced martensite.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17219,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Science: Advanced Materials and Devices","volume":"10 1","pages":"Article 100842"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143102324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
