Ab initio simulations based on density functional theory (DFT) have been proven to be a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective way to design new anode materials for SIBs. As a result of the identification of graphene, researchers and scientists were influenced to create new two-dimensional (2D) materials. On account of their distinctive physical and chemical properties, the broad expanse of surface, innovative electronic features, and charging ability of 2D materials attract much attention. Many of these characteristics are significant prerequisites for using anodes in batteries.

The effective methodologies for high-performance anode materials are provided based on the substantial literature and theoretical studies.

In an erosive/corrosive environment, the possible failure mechanisms necessitate consideration in materials selection and design. Although functional alloying elements are deliberately added to steels to improve corrosion resistance, the crucial role of initial microstructure and post-process heat treatments are equally critical and cannot be neglected. Specifically, the proper selection and optimization of AM process parameters are essential steps in minimizing microstructural defects. This comprehensive review provides a consolidated treatise of powder atomization techniques, AM process parameter control, rapid solidification principles, their roles on the as-built microstructure. The role of different phases and microstructures formed during post-process heat treatments, and corrosion behavior of various grades of AM steels are also presented. The review presents the interplay between process-microstructure-corrosion properties of the AM steels through the entire fabrication process - from powder feedstock to final AM product exposed to harsh environments. In the first section of this review paper, the authors comprehensively explain the important factors, which affect the processability and quality of AM steel components. In the second section, the authors focus on the microstructure of both as-printed and heat-treated AM steel products, the parameters which determine variations of the microstructure, the effect of microstructural features such as the grain size and the dendrite arm spacing on the mechanical properties, and the detrimental effect of inclusions embedded into the matrix. Finally, the third part of the paper is a comprehensive review of the corrosion of different types of stainless steels (316 L austenitic stainless steel, 420 martensitic stainless steel, martensitic precipitation-hardened stainless steels of 15-5 PH, 17-4 PH, and Corrax) fabricated by AM techniques.","PeriodicalId":55203,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Solid State and Materials Sciences","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135957852","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}

Depla","doi":"10.1080/10408436.2023.2258159","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/10408436.2023.2258159","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractMany thin film applications are based on oxides. The optimization of the oxide properties is an on-going process and requires a deep understanding of the deposition process. A typical feature of reactive (magnetron) sputter deposition is the presence of negative oxygen ions. Two groups of ions can be identified based on their energy. Low energy ions are generated in the bulk of the discharge. The high energy ions are emitted from the oxide or oxidized target surface. As these ions are generated at the cathode, they are accelerated by the electric field toward the growing film. Depending on the discharge voltage and the powering method, their energy is typically several tenths to hundreds electron volt. As such the ions can have a strong impact on the film properties. In the case of magnetron sputtering, this will lead to inhomogenous film properties over the substrate facing the locally eroded target. Due to their high energy, the trajectory of negative ions can be easily predicted which has led to several strategies to avoid negative ion bombardment such as facing target sputtering and off-axis sputtering. This paper reviews several facets of the production, the measurements and the impact on the film properties of negative ions during reactive sputtering. Despite the many illustrative studies on the impact of negative oxygen ions, quantification is often lacking as the negative ion yield is only known for a few oxides. The compilation of several literature sources allows the discussed trends to be placed in a quantitative framework.Keywords: Negative ion yieldmagnetron sputteringion assisted deposition AcknowledgementsThis work is dedicated to two researchers who have passed away recently and had a major impact on the scientific career of the author.
