With the increasing demand for renewable energy and sustainable technologies, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become crucial energy storage components. Despite the promising properties of the high capacity and stability of TiO2, its large-scale app...

In this study, the influence of silicon carbide on an aluminum alloy’s yield tensile strength, ultimate tensile strength, compressive strength, tensile toughness and impact toughness were investigated. Meanwhile, the aluminum alloy specimens we...

The pulsed current electrodeposition method was employed for the first time to achieve tungsten coating with a thickness of 433.72 μm on a CuCrZr alloy from Na2WO4-WO3-KCl-NaF molten salt. The microstructure of the coating was observed and the coa...

This paper investigates the interface debonding behavior of graphene (G) on a calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) substrate using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The effect of interfacial water content on the debonding behavior of graphene on cemen...

In recent years, Golden Hard Anodizing (G.H.A.®) has been developed as a variant of the traditional hard anodizing process with the addition of Ag+ ions in the nanoporous structure. The tribological properties of this innovative surface treatment...

The waterborne epoxy resin (WER) colored antiskid thin layer has been widely used in asphalt pavement to improve driving safety. The tectonic depth determines the antiskid performance of aparticle antiskid type thin layer. The spalling of aggregate f...

Aloe vera is well known for its biological properties as a bioflavonoid anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agent. It has been used frequently in the food sector as a food coating due to its hygroscopic properties and as an ingredient in the lucrativ...

As an important component of LIBs, the electrode material plays a crucial role in determining the lithium (Li) storage performance in LIBs. In this study, MoS2 nano-flowers were synthesized using a one-pot hydrothermal method. The resulting MoS2 nano...

As an important part of traditional Chinese architecture, Fuzhou’s ancient houses have unique cultural and historical value. However, over time, environmental factors such as efflorescence and plant growth have caused surface damage to their gr...

This study investigates the optical properties of yttrium ferrite thin films fabricated via pulse laser deposition. Yttrium orthoferrite, a ferrimagnetic material known for its potential applications in spintronics and photonics, was deposited on sin...
