This study investigates the mechanical degradation of HRB400 corroded reinforcing steel induced by corrosion and introduces a tailored constitutive model to capture the influence of mass loss ratios. A series of tensile tests were conducted following...

Exploring advanced sulfur cathode materials is important for the development of lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs), but they still present challenges. Herein, zinc oxide dots-modified vanadium nitride flower-like heterojunctions (Zn-QDs-VN) as sulfur ho...

In this article, we present the results of the first-principles study of altermagnet MnTe crystallized in the hexagonal-type crystal structure. Our theoretical calculations have been performed within density functional theory (DFT) and demonstrated t...

Laser technology is widely regarded as a highly effective method for welding thermoplastic polymers due to its precision, cleanliness, and versatility. This study investigates the effects of laser power and scanning speed on the through-thickness har...

Solid waste-based cementitious materials (SWBC) are composed of steel slag (SS), granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS), fly ash (FA), desulfurization gypsum (DG), and Portland cement (PC). Currently, SWBC holds great potential as a sustainable buildin...

The incorporation of MAX phase interface layers into silicon carbide (SiC) composites has been shown to significantly enhance mechanical properties, particularly under irradiation conditions. However, conventional Ti-based MAX phases suffer from ther...

Organic–inorganic hybrid halide perovskites have emerged as promising optoelectronic materials owing to their exceptional optoelectronic properties and versatile crystal structures. The introduction of chiral organic ligands into perovskite fra...

Zirconium, a critical rare metal with exceptional corrosion resistance and nuclear applications, is conventionally produced via the energy-intensive Kroll process. The electrolysis of ZrCxOy soluble anodes has been extensively investigated due to its...

Particleboards were developed by replacing a part of wood with various biomass residues, including coffee bean husks, spent coffee grounds, thistle, Sideritis and dead leaves of Posidonia oceanica. These materials were analysed to determine their phy...

Gallium oxide (Ga2O3), as an ultra-wide bandgap semiconducting material, has attracted extensive research interest in recent years. Owing to its outstanding electrical and optical properties, as well as its high reliability, Ga2O3 shows great potenti...
