During the recycling process of spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), there is a large number of fluoride ions in the leaching solution. These fluoride ions not only affect the quality of lithium products, but they also have adverse effects on the envi...

The global challenge of antimicrobial resistance, as well as the need to develop safe and environmentally sustainable materials, has served to stimulate research interest in antimicrobial technologies. The abundance, degradability and environmental f...

By tuning the extrusion parameters, the corrosion performances of as-extruded Mg-0.5Zn(-0.2X) alloys (X: Ca/Sr/Ag/In/Cu, denoted as Z05, Z0502-Ca, Z0502-Sr, Z0502-Ag, Z0502-In and Z0502-Cu, respectively) with similar grain sizes were investigated and...

Nickel–titanium (NiTi) alloys are extensively utilised in aerospace, biomedical, and precision engineering applications due to their distinctive functional properties, including superelasticity and the shape memory effect. However, their poor m...

In an interlayered carbon fiber reinforced polycarbonate (CFRPC) composite constructed of nine CF plies alternating between ten PC sheets, designated [PC]10[CF]9, applying homogeneous low voltage electron beam irradiation (HLEBI) at 200 kV cathode po...

The preparation of construction waste into eco-friendly recycled powder (RP), partially replacing cement to produce foam concrete with thermal insulation properties, provides a new approach for the resource utilization of RP. In this study, different...

As a promising class of structure/function integrated materials, aluminum-based boron carbide composites exhibit exceptional mechanical properties, neutron shielding capabilities, and excellent thermophysical properties, demonstrating significant pot...

The chemical identity of oxygen species plays a decisive role in determining the optical stability of halide perovskite QD films. Here, real-time in situ spectroscopic monitoring, together with steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence measure...

The CoolMOSTM (Infineon Technologies AG, Munich, Germany) has been regarded as a device that alleviates high-voltage limitations of unipolar power devices. However, although the theoretical considerations seem to confirm this possibility, this expect...

Realizing the full potential of optical actuation for high-speed phase-change radio-frequency (RF) switches requires a shift to single-pulse operation. This work presents a systematic investigation of reversible phase transitions in GeTe thin films i...
