This review summarizes recent advances in computational simulations and experiments of structure-property relationships in HEAs at the nano/micro scales. Various methods such as first-principles calculations, molecular dynamics simulations, phase diagram calculations, and finite element simulations are discussed for revealing atomic/chemical and crystal structures, defect formation and migration, diffusion and phase transition, phase formation and stability, stress-strain distribution, deformation behavior, and thermodynamic properties of HEAs. Emphasis is placed on the synergistic effects of computational simulations and experiments in terms of validation and complementarity to provide insights into the underlying mechanisms and evolutionary rules of HEAs. Additionally, current challenges and future directions for computational and experimental studies of HEAs are identified, including accuracy, efficiency, and scalability of methods, integration of multiscale and multiphysics models, and exploration of practical applications of HEAs.","PeriodicalId":21841,"journal":{"name":"Small Structures","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141530588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Leveraging on these distinctive characteristics of gallium-based alloys, the synthesis of high-entropy liquid metal alloys (HELMAs) in low dimensions is reported. The nanoscale HELMAs offer advantages including the solvation of multiple metallic elements at room temperature, while promoting their atomic dispersion at elevated concentrations. Entropy estimations for HELMAs surpass those of high-temperature molten metals, leading to the realization of high-entropy liquid metal systems at room temperature. Through a proof-of-concept hydrogen evolution reaction comparison, the potential of these HELMAs in enhancing the activities of nanocatalysts is demonstrated. In this case, atomic dispersion of Pt is shown in senary GaIn-AuCuPtPd HELMA, contrasting with lower entropy systems in which Pt forms discernible clusters. These presented features can lead to catalytic systems with enhanced and tailored activities.","PeriodicalId":21841,"journal":{"name":"Small Structures","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141514424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of a controlled densification on polyurethane aerogels are herein studied by analyzing their textural, mechanical, sound, optical, and thermal insulating properties. The produced aerogels are uniaxially compressed to different strains (30%–80%) analyzing the consequent changes in the structures and, therefore, final properties. As expected, their mechanical stiffness can be significantly increased by compression (until 55-fold higher elastic modulus for 80%-strain), while the light transmittance does not noticeably worsen until it is compressed more than 60%. Additionally, the modifications produced in the heat transfer contributions are analyzed, obtaining the optimum balance between density increase and pore size reduction. The minimum thermal conductivity (14.5%-reduction) is obtained by compressing the aerogel to 50%-strain, where the increment in the solid conduction is surpassed by the reduction of the radiative and gas contributions. This strategy avoids tedious chemical modifications in the synthesis procedure to control the final structure of the aerogels, leading to the possibility of carefully adapting their structure and properties through a simple method such as densification. Thus, it allows to obtain aerogels for current and on-demand applications, which is one of the main challenges in the field.","PeriodicalId":21841,"journal":{"name":"Small Structures","volume":"214 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141514425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dual-nature electrocatalysts combining metal and metal-derived materials are crucial for enhancing the selectivity parameter and efficacy of this reaction. Here, Pd-, Pt-, Ru-, and Ir-decorated Co3(PO4)2 (CoPi) composites with a robust metal–support interaction are obtained via the one-pot pulsed laser ablation in liquid method. Among the designed composites, Ir–CoPi affords ≈100% Faradaic efficiency, mass balance, and selectivity toward NH3 product at sufficiently low potentials. Further, it affords the highest NH3 yield rate of 19.13 mg h−1 cm−2 with 78.1% removal of toxic NO2− with a rate constant kapp = 0.31 mm min−1 under −1.6 V versus Ag/AgCl. In situ experiments and theoretical investigations reveal the underlying mechanisms responsible for this outstanding performance of Ir–CoPi, which can be accredited to the generation of specific active sites on the Ir component. Insights derived from the evolving intermediate reactive species provide new opportunities for large-scale NH3 production through electrochemical techniques, density functional theory calculations, and the improvement of the corresponding industrial processes.","PeriodicalId":21841,"journal":{"name":"Small Structures","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141514525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, this challenge is fundamentally addressed by substituting trace amount of lithium with cadmium, which lacks crystal field stabilization energy. This strategy of atomic interaction modification has induced electrolyte's structural distortion and electronic alteration by deliberately introducing disorder at local lithium sites.

According to the analysis of clinical samples, it is found that the levels of fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) and M2-like tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) infiltration are significantly elevated in CRC tissue, which has driven one to construct a targeted cationic liposome to simultaneously enhance the RNA methylation and inhibit the CD47 immune checkpoint expression of tumor cells in the hope of promoting the M1-like TAMs polarization and phagocytosis. By upregulating the m6A modification of tumor cells, the lactate secretion is decreased to promote the TAMs repolarized into M1-like. Meanwhile, CD47 siRNA codelivered by the cationic liposomes downregulates the expression of immune checkpoint CD47 on the cancer cell surface, which enhances the phagocytic ability of the M1-like TAMs. The combination treatment scheme is expected to provide a new option for treating MSS-CRC, which may also be extended for treating other immunologically “cold” tumors.","PeriodicalId":21841,"journal":{"name":"Small Structures","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141552069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
