Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a commonly used binder in the dry process. However, there is a lack of research on the effect of dry process parameters on PVDF crystalline types. In our work, the dry process parameters of graphite anode with PVDF as binder are studied, such as the effects of temperature, pressure, and time on the crystallization of PVDF. The effects of powder mixing process and binder content on the performance of dry graphite electrodes are investigated. PVDF processed at 180 °C, 6 MPa, and for 15 min under hot pressing conditions favors the presence of β-crystalline forms. The capacity retention of the prepared electrodes with 10% PVDF loading is superior to that of conventional wet electrodes. Subsequently, reducing PVDF to 5% induces additional cycling stability and rate handling improvements of the dry electrode. </p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science","volume":"60 19","pages":"8039 - 8056"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144125607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve this, carbon fabrics were first surface-activated using concentrated nitric acid, followed by spraying a solution containing MXene in varying weight percentages (0.2%, 0.4%, and 0.8%). Subsequently, epoxy matrix-based laminated composites were fabricated using the vacuum infusion method. The composites were then subjected to tensile, flexural, interlaminar shear strength (ILSS), Mode-I fracture toughness, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding tests. The results showed that the composite reinforced with 0.4% MXene exhibited the highest mechanical performance, demonstrating increases of 12.71%, 12.63%, and 13.13% in flexural strength, ILSS, and tensile strength, respectively, compared to the reference carbon fabric-epoxy composite. Additionally, the Mode-I fracture toughness of this composite was improved by 25.32%. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis was conducted to examine the fracture regions of the composites and ascertain the underlying damage mechanisms. The increase in the amount of MXene coated on the fabric surface did not create a significant difference in the EMI-SE values of the composites in the X-band range.

According to the XRD results, Ca-doped CMO samples were successfully obtained through a sonochemical method, and the Ag was decorated through photoreduction. The chemical composition and binding energy states on the surface of the pure and 2CMO/Ag (2% Ca-doped CMO decorated with 10% Ag) samples were confirmed by XPS. The EDS, FRX, and ICP‒MS results also confirmed the sample composition. The morphologies observed via FESEM and TEM revealed micrometric spherical types for all the samples, in which the addition of Ca ions decreased part of the agglomeration. Furthermore, metallic silver nanoparticles were observed across the surface, with an average particle size of 29.56 nm. Thus, doping and decorating the CMO sample promoted an increase in the specific surface area from 4.47 to 5.40 m²/g for the 2CMO/Ag sample. For the absorbance results, the Ag samples presented a band in the region between 400 and 600 nm, which indicates their activation under visible light. The optical properties were studied through photoluminescence and photocatalytic tests. While Ca doping weakens the degree of recombination of photogenerated electron‒hole pairs, decorating the surface with Ag also creates surface plasmons to promote the absorption of visible light. The photocatalytic properties of the materials under solar radiation were tested against methylene blue (MB) and crystal violet (CV) separately and mixed, obtaining efficiencies of 92.93 and 93.52%, respectively, after 120 min with the 2CMO/Ag sample against the mixture. After reuse cycles, the results are still satisfactory and show the stability of the material in the XRD pattern. The relative energy band positions were calculated, and a scavenging methodology was used for analysis, after which a possible photocatalytic mechanism was proposed, verifying the role of ·OH, ·O₂^– and h⁺ radicals as the dominant active species in the medium.

Steel CMFs, composed of hollow steel spheres embedded in a stainless steel matrix, were subjected to quasi-static compression tests at 23 °C, 400 °C, 600 °C, 700 °C, and 800 °C. The primary objectives were to assess the temperature-dependent changes in elastic modulus, plateau strength, energy absorption efficiency, and structural integrity under compression. Experimental results revealed characteristic stress–strain behavior comprising linear elastic, plateau, and densification regions, with significant mechanical degradation observed at temperatures beyond 600 °C. To account for the volumetric changes in steel CMF, a correction factor (<i>K</i>) related to porosity (<i>ϕ</i>) was introduced, relating true and engineering stress. Curve fitting at room temperature yielded <i>K</i> = 0.6, closely matching the CMF porosity (<i>ϕ</i> = 0.6), highlighting porosity’s dual physical and mathematical significance in governing the compressive response of CMFs. Finite element simulations in ABAQUS were used to complement experimental findings, incorporating a crushable foam plasticity model and temperature-dependent material properties. The model accurately predicted the mechanical behavior of steel CMF up to the densification phase, with discrepancies remaining below 4% compared to experimental results. Computational analysis also validated the assumption of a constant Poisson’s ratio at elevated temperatures. Results indicate that steel CMFs maintain substantial energy absorption and mechanical stability up to 600 °C, making them suitable for applications such as crash absorbers and thermal shields. However, performance deteriorates significantly at 700 °C and 800 °C due to thermal softening and oxidation, ultimately leading to structural disintegration. This study underscores the promise of steel CMFs in thermally demanding applications while identifying key areas for future research, including the refinement of computational damage models and the experimental validation of temperature-dependent material parameters.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science","volume":"60 19","pages":"7942 - 7964"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10853-025-10905-7.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144125511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, five different machine learning algorithms were used to construct a composition-temperature-viscosity prediction model for multicomponent alloys using 867 sets of viscosity experimental data collected in the literature. The melting temperatures (<i>T</i>) and solute contents of Mg, Al, Cu, Si, and Fe were utilized as model inputs, while the viscosity values were taken as model outputs.
