Therefore, the rational design of soft magnetic alloys holds substantial scientific and commercial value. With excellent comprehensive performance, emerging compositionally complex alloys (CCAs) with high chemical complexity have garnered significant interest. The huge composition search space of CCAs provides both challenges and opportunities for discovering new high-performance magnetic materials. The traditional alloy design method relying on scientific intuition and a trial-and-error strategy could be inefficient and costly for magnetic CCAs. Accordingly, with great capacities for nonlinear and adaptive information processing, machine learning (ML) has shown great potential in magnetic CCA studies. This paper reviews magnetic properties of CCAs, examines the various inspiring applications of ML methods in magnetic CCAs, and discusses the future directions for unleashing the full potential of ML methods for applications in magnetic CCAs’ studies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":411,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Materials Science","volume":"146 ","pages":"Article 101332"},"PeriodicalIF":33.6,"publicationDate":"2024-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141623433","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}

The γ-GY skeleton forms via an alkyne nucleophilic cross-coupling reaction induced by intense mechanical energy using hexahalobenzene and calcium carbide as precursors. This mechanochemical strategy is simple, high-yielding, scalable, and commercially viable. This review aims to offer a comprehensive and critical understanding of mechanochemical synthesis of γ-GY. Firstly, the basic concept, physicochemical properties and potential applications of graphyne, especially γ-GY, are introduced. Subsequently, the review summarizes several state-of-the-art synthetic strategies for γ-GY and corresponding representative characterizations. Furthermore, the feasibility of mechanosynthesis for γ-GY is elucidated through the discussion of its origin which involves mechanochemical dehalogenation, and its subsequent development for the synthesis of alkynyl cross-linked carbon derivatives. The reaction mechanism, and controversial factors (including solvent issue, side reaction, and carbonaceous impurities) of the mechanochemical route are adequately outlined and analyzed. Evidence confirms the existence of γ-GY in the as-prepared sample and inevitable generation of by-products such as carbonaceous impurities.
