In each colony, four distinct micro-variants with different crystallographic-orientations existed, where the adjacent variant pairs connected by crossing-interfaces possessed a non-twinned relationship and other pairs connected by extending-interfaces were twin-related to each other. The corresponding twinning planes and directions were {112} and 〈111〉, respectively. Nevertheless, the twinning relationships of these twin-related micro-variant pairs were not perfect, which contained a small rotation. Interface analysis demonstrated that these two types of interface planes coincide with the orientation relationship planes and twinning planes of their connecting micro-variants, respectively.","PeriodicalId":18232,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Technology","volume":"15 1","pages":"2633 - 2641"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87632920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The corrosion inhibition performance of TiTR is a function of concentration and temperature. The results revealed that TiTR was 84.27% efficient in limiting MS corrosion at 1.0 g L−1 and 3 h. The TiTR acted as a mixed-type corrosion inhibitor and Langmuir isotherm indicated that TiTR was adsorbed on mild steel through physisorption by forming a monolayer of film.

It is noted that the as-prepared CSSs as anode composites for LIBs, especially CSS-5 h, exhibited extraordinary electrochemical properties, exhibiting a high reversible performance, great rate performance, and excellent cycling stability. As expected, the superior electrochemical capability can be ascribed to the synergistic effect of combining the nanoflower-like carbon superstructures with nitrogen contents.
