Herein, a heterojunction combined g-SiC with Nb<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>2</sub> is established to systematically predict the electrochemical properties through first-principles calculations and machine learning. Based on the results of AIMD simulation at 300 K, it is found that the heterojunction has neither structural deformation nor bond breakage, revealing good thermodynamic stability. Moreover, the lowest diffusion barriers of Li and Na migration are 0.58 eV and 0.27 eV, with the open circuit voltage lowered 0.97 V and 0.18 V, and theoretical specific capacities of 910.54 mAh/g and 505.86 mAh/g, respectively. These findings indicate that g-SiC/Nb<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>2</sub> is a promising anode material for Li/Na batteries. Meanwhile, combining the characteristics and physical properties of atoms as descriptors for machine learning, their key influence on adsorption performance is explored, which provides valuable insights for the design of anode materials toward high-performance metal ion batteries in the future.","PeriodicalId":247,"journal":{"name":"Applied Surface Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144334938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Laser texturing was performed using a 20 W fiber laser source for previously determined technological process parameters. To compare the effect of sandblasting and laser texturing on the change in SGP parameters, measurements were also taken of the sheet surface after rolling. The structure of the scanned surface was observed and recorded using a 3D laser profilometer. The readings obtained during the development of results for different states of the modified and unmodified surface were compiled in tables and presented using isometric images of the surface. Additionally, surface load-bearing capacity curves were plotted. For the laser-textured surface, the material morphology was analyzed in the vicinity of the laser beam interaction. The wettability of the surface was tested with two measuring liquids: demineralized water and diiodomethane.

We demonstrate an effective strategy for varying wettability by using surface modification based on strain-dependent fs-laser-processing and dynamic external mechanical forces. For this purpose, groove structures were introduced into unstretched and stretched PDMS surfaces, whereby the structures created under strain can be reversibly opened and closed in response to mechanical stress as a simple and inexpensive stimulus due to the elastomeric properties of the substrate material. These strain-dependent topography changes are accompanied by a change in the liquid–solid contact area and consequently in the wetting properties. Depending on the structural parameters of groove and plateau width, groove depth and period, wetting phenomena on anisotropic groove structures, such as the directional dependence of the contact angle as well as the contact angle hysteresis, have been confirmed on mechano-responsive grooves. Especially on hierarchically structured surfaces, strain-dependent groove-processing allows a dynamic control of the microstructure to reversibly switch between different adhesion states and to introduce isotropic lotus leaf-like or anisotropic rice leaf-like wetting properties.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":247,"journal":{"name":"Applied Surface Science","volume":"710 ","pages":"Article 163867"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144329272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
