Despite the advantages, however, recently there have been concerns about the challenges associated with traditional cemented carbides, i.e. the conflict of properties (hardness and toughness, strength and wear resistance) as well as the instability of reliability in service, necessitating the development of functional gradient cemented carbides (FGCCs). Although recent decades, investigations have seen explosive growth in FGCCs, there is still a lack of comprehensive review on FGCCs. Herein, the current study applies towards summarize the progress of FGCCs during the past 60 years, emphasizing the demand in FGCCs with tailored properties and customized requirements for specific applications. We initially introduce basic cognition of FGCCs, subsequently, comprehensively elucidate the gradient formation mechanisms of carburization, decarburization, nitridation, denitrification, infiltration process, and construction methods (solid-phase sintering, graphene doping and additive manufacturing etc.), then summary processing techniques and mechanical properties of FGCCs. In addition, the impart of additive on further improving the properties of FGCCs is discussed. Afterward, the possible applications of FGCCs at different areas are proposed. At the end of this paper, a summary of concluding remarks and potential developed direction of state-of-the-art FGCCs is provided.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":415,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Solid State Chemistry","volume":"74 ","pages":"Article 100454"},"PeriodicalIF":12.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140402707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

LaTiO₂N is an auspicious visible light absorbing photocatalyst regarding the oxygen evolution reaction. In this work, the topotactic growth mechanism of LaTiO₂N particles is investigated by varying the precursor material and the synthesis conditions during thermal ammonolysis. Their influence is discussed in regard to structure, composition, morphology, optical, and functional properties. Using the conventional, layered perovskite oxide, La₂Ti₂O₇, as precursor resulted in brick-shaped porous LaTiO₂N particles with a high degree of crystallinity and a high surface area. When adding flux, the increased mobility during thermal ammonolysis leads to larger morphology changes resulting in non-porous, perforated particles with skeletal features. In a novel, alternative approach, LaTiO₂N is prepared via the topotactic conversion of a double-layered Sillén-Aurivillius type oxyhalide material, La_2·1Bi_2·9Ti₂O₁₁Cl. The facile formation of LaTiO₂N results in a perforated porous structure exhibiting skeletal features whilst maintaining a high surface area due to the presence of pores. By alternating the morphology of the material in this matter the oxygen evolution under one sun illumination is improved by around 10% or 30% depending on whether thermal ammonolysis of La₂Ti₂O₇ is performed with or without flux, respectively.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":415,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Solid State Chemistry","volume":"73 ","pages":"Article 100442"},"PeriodicalIF":12.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139813095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, researchers from several tens of physical laboratories worldwide have been benefiting from TSSG-produced RE123 single crystals and generating excellent collaborative work.
