Subjected to various annealing temperatures, the samples were analyzed in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution to evaluate changes in their microstructure and assess their corrosion resistance. Findings reveal that the HE-MG undergoes multistage crystallization, displaying an amorphous matrix integrated with face centered cubic (FCC) and Ni7Zr2 phases between 420 and 500 °C, indicating robust thermal stability. Electrochemical assessments identify a critical temperature threshold: Below the glass transition temperature (Tg), the HE-MG maintains excellent corrosion resistance, promoting stable passivation layers. Above Tg, enhanced long-range atomic rearrangement during relaxation increases passivation layer defects and significantly diminishes corrosion resistance. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses show that the primary components of the passivation layer are TiO2, ZrO2, HfO2 and BeO. Increased annealing temperatures lead to enhanced Be and Ni content and decreased Ti, Zr and Hf. Additionally, high mixing entropy and significant atomic size mismatch suppress long-range atomic rearrangement and crystallization. The crystallization begins above Tg by 20 °C, with crystalline phases evenly distributed within the matrix without drastically affecting corrosion resistance. This investigation highlights the impact of thermal treatment on the properties of HE-MG, contributing valuable insights into optimizing their performance and applications.<h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000","PeriodicalId":749,"journal":{"name":"Rare Metals","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142209100","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}

However, challenges persist, particularly concerning the use of nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiOx NPs) as the hole transport material, where issues such as low conductivity, impurity-induced aggregation and interface redox reactions significantly hinder device performance. In response, this study presents a novel synthesis method for NiOx NPs, leveraging the introduction of ammonium salt dopants (NH4Cl and NH4SCN), and the solar cell utilizing the doped NiOx substrate exhibits much enhanced device performance. Furthermore, doped solar cells reach 23.27% power conversion efficiency (PCE) when a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) is further employed.

In addition, the performance of bone implants relies heavily on their osteointegration ability, which is closely related to the immune responses triggered after implantation. In this study, two Zn-based alloys, Zn–2Cu and Zn–2Cu–0.8Li were developed, to improve the comprehensive properties of Zn implants. The introduction of copper (Cu) and lithium (Li) via alloying improved the hardness and localized corrosion resistance of Zn-based specimens. Both the Zn alloys exhibited enhanced adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation behaviors when tested with MC3T3-E1 cells. Importantly, the immune response of RAW264.7, mediated by the two Zn alloys, with pure Zn as a control was systematically investigated. The results demonstrated that the synergistic release of Cu2+ and Li+ played a pivotal role in promoting the anti-inflammatory and osteoimmunomodulatory properties of degradable Zn. By alloying with Cu and Li, we achieved sequential and sustained ion release, resulting in the synergistic enhancement of osteoimmunomodulation through the modulation of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. Finally, the Zn-based specimens were evaluated in vivo using rat mandibular defect models. After 8 weeks, the Zn–2Cu–0.8Li group exhibited significantly higher bone regeneration than the Zn–2Cu and pure Zn groups.

As a new type of porous material, metal–organic frameworks (MOF) can be used for gas separation and adsorption due to their adjustable pore size and acceptable thermal stability. In this work, the ZIF-71 MOF was synthesized on CuO nanofibers doped with different concentrations of Ru to form a Ru–CuO@ZIF-71 nanocomposite sensor, which was then used for H2S detection. The sensor shows sensitivity to trace amounts of H2S gas (100 ppb), and the response is greatly enhanced at the optimal Ru doping ratio and operating temperature. The introduction of the ZIF-71 membrane can significantly increase the selectivity of the sensor while further improving the sensitivity. Finally, the possible sensing mechanism of the Ru–CuO@ZIF-71 sensor was explored. The enhancement of the H2S gas sensing properties may be attributed to the catalysis of Ru and the formation of the Schottky junction at the Ru–CuO interface. Besides, the calculation based on density functional theory reveals enhanced adsorption capacities of CuO for H2S after Ru doping. Therefore, the Ru–CuO@ZIF-71 sensor has strong application potential in exhaled gas detection and portable detection of H2S gas in industrial environments.<h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Graphical abstract</h3>","PeriodicalId":749,"journal":{"name":"Rare Metals","volume":"270 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142209135","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 pH of the electrolyte plays a crucial role in these processes, significantly impacting the stability and reversibility of Zn2+ deposition. Therefore, pH-buffer tris (hydroxymethyl) amino methane (tris) is chosen as a versatile electrolyte additive to address these issues. Tris can buffer electrolyte pH at Zn/electrolyte interface by protonated/deprotonated nature of amino group, optimize the coordination environment of zinc solvate ions by its strong interaction with zinc ions, and simultaneously create an in-situ stable solid electrolyte interface membrane on the zinc anode surface. These synergistic effects effectively restrain dendrite formation and side reactions, resulting in a highly stable and reversible Zn anode, thereby enhancing the electrochemical performance of AZIBs. The Zn||Zn battery with 0.15 wt% tris additives maintains stable cycling for 1500 h at 4 mA·cm−2 and 1120 h at 10 mA·cm−2.

However, the exploration of advanced strategies to realize the effective and tailored doping still poses significant challenges in enhancing hydrogen evolution performance. In this work, a mild cation exchange strategy is reported to incorporate Ag cations into flower-like ZnIn2S4 microspheres, enabling the selective replacement of Zn atoms by Ag. Remarkably, the as-fabricated Ag-ZnIn2S4 exhibited exceptional photocatalytic hydrogen production performance, achieving a rate of 8098 μmol·g−1· h−1 under visible light irradiation. This is 4 times than that of pristine ZnIn2S4 (2002 μmol·g−1· h−1), and stands as the highest one among metal-doped-ZnIn2S4 photocatalysts ever reported. Along with the theoretical calculations, it has been confirmed that the enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen generation behavior can primarily be attributed to the synergistic effect with improved light absorption, reduced adsorption energy, increased active sites and optimized charge carrier transfer, induced by the cation exchange with Ag in ZnIn2S4.
