Unlike conventional WS₂-carbon systems, this work focuses on engineering the heterointerface to simultaneously regulate electron and proton transport pathways. In this work, we present a hierarchically structured tungsten disulfide at functionalized carbon black (WS₂@f-CB) nanocomposite as an advanced electrochemical composite for the detection of phloroglucinol. This composite structure consists of edge-rich WS₂ nanoparticles oxygen-rich carbon black matrix, thus forming a hetero-interface that synergistically promotes rapid electron transport, efficient relay of protons, and selective molecular adsorption. Structural and surface characterizations validate the close interface coupling of WS₂ with f-CB, while the studies conducted on electrochemical impedance and cyclic voltammetry show a relative increase in the electrochemically active surface area with a lowered charge transfer resistance. The WS₂@f-CB modified electrode suggests a proton-coupled electron transfer process with the known assembly of the composite interface, which is attributed to the excellent electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of phloroglucinol. The sensor exhibits excellent reproducibility and high resistance to common interfering species, allowing reliable phloroglucinol quantification across a remarkably wide linear range (0.00178-235.2 µM) with an ultralow detection limit of 1.28 nM. The confirmed applicability of the sensor developed to real water samples exhibits phloroglucinol site recovery and stability. This paper emphasizes the potential of interfacial charge-transport engineering in WS₂-based carbon composites in the design of advanced electrochemical sensing platforms for environmental monitoring.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7220,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials","volume":"9 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.5,"publicationDate":"2026-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s42114-026-01858-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148927958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inspired by natural architectures, a fabrication strategy integrating material extrusion, ultrasonic-vacuum-assisted cyclic metal infiltration, and stepwise vacuum heat treatment is proposed for ceramic-metal composites. Microstructural and phase analyses indicate that the metallic phase effectively infiltrates the porous ceramic scaffold and forms stable interfaces. Mechanical tests show that the composites with optimized heat treatment and about 4.6 wt% metal content exhibit increases of 482.5% and 727.5% in compressive strength and energy absorption, respectively, compared to the matrix without metal infiltration, displaying a notable synergistic effect of strength and toughness. Multiscale simulations further reveal that the biomimetic structure establishes continuous heterogeneous load-transfer pathways that homogenize stress distribution, while the metallic phase buffers stress and dissipates plastic deformation energy. Metal filling fraction studies indicate that mechanical performance is governed by the coupled effects of ceramic rigidity and metallic plasticity. The approach is further extended to the Al₂O₃/IN718 system, confirming its versatility and scalability. Overall, this work presents a biomimetic multiscale design strategy for constructing lightweight ceramic-metal composites with enhanced mechanical performance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7220,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials","volume":"9 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.5,"publicationDate":"2026-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s42114-026-01935-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148987098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Initially, Cr₂CT_X nanosheets were synthesized through etching of the Cr₂AlC phase. Subsequently, the bimetallic metal-organic framework CoZn-ZIF (BZIF) was prepared both individually and hybridized with MXene (BZIF/Cr₂C) via a rapid nucleation approach. Thereafter, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were deposited onto the BZIF/Cr₂C surface using two methods: conventional hydrothermal/sol-gel (HS) and the novel cold plasma treatment (CP). The analyses revealed that the CP method resulted in more uniform distribution of ZnO nanoparticles, stronger chemical bonding (facilitated by APTES silane coupling agent), and reduced charge recombination compared to the HS method. FESEM images confirmed the formation of distinct phases and poor integration for the hydrothermal method, whereas the plasma-synthesized sample demonstrated a highly integrated and well-ordered structure. XPS and FTIR analyses confirmed the presence of strong bonds such as Cr-O-Si and Zn-O in the plasma-treated sample. Photocatalytic investigations demonstrated that the ZnO@BZIF/Cr₂C-CP nanocomposite exhibited the highest MB degradation efficiency under both UV/Visible light (99% and 100% within 120 min, respectively), attributed to its suitable band gap (2.85 eV), reduced charge recombination, and effective generation of reactive species (hydroxyl and superoxide radicals). Electrochemical tests (EIS and current density) confirmed lower charge transfer resistance and higher electrochemical activity for the plasma-synthesized sample. The proposed charge transfer mechanism follows a Z-scheme pathway, preserving the strong oxidation power of ZnO and the reducing ability of electrons in MXene. Finally, epoxy coatings containing this nanocomposite (ER-ZnO@BZIF/Cr₂C-CP) not only exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity (color change Δb* value of 51 under visible light) but also demonstrated significant improvements in mechanical properties including tensile strength (5.4 N/mm²), storage modulus (1943 MPa), and toughness (14.7 mJ/mm²) compared to neat epoxy resin. These results introduce the cold plasma-synthesized nanocomposite as an ideal candidate for water treatment applications and self-cleaning coatings.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7220,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials","volume":"9 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.5,"publicationDate":"2026-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s42114-026-01940-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148927979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research focuses on the thermo-mechanical behavior, mechanical properties, and oxidation response of Ti–Al-Nb hybrid alloys, which can be used for advanced turbine blades. FEA has revealed significant temperature gradients and stress concentrations across the blade, indicating that materials with high thermal stability, mechanical properties, and oxidation resistance are essential. The materials were evaluated experimentally for tensile strength, fracture toughness, hardness, and oxidation weight gain across Al and Nb compositions, heat treatment temperatures, and cooling rates. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to quantify the effects of each factor, and a specialized artificial intelligence model, PNBM-SHAP-ZOA, was used to enhance the predictive accuracy of the results. The proposed AI model demonstrated superior prediction accuracy compared with the previously used ANN-GA, CNN-PSO, and traditional RSM, achieving the lowest prediction error for each response. Using RSM, the multi-response optimization produced optimal levels of 26.3% Al, 11.9% Nb, 850 °C maximum temperature, and 9.93 °C/s cooling rates, which all yielded excellent mechanical properties, good mechanical stability, and minimal weight gain from oxidation.
