文摘The deterioration of aqueous zinc-ion batteries(AZIBs)is confronted with challenges such as unregulated Zn^(2+)diffusion,dendrite growth and severe decay in battery performance under harsh environments.Here,a design concept of eutectic electrolyte is presented by mixing long chain polymer molecules,polyethylene glycol dimethyl ether(PEGDME),with H_(2)O based on zinc trifluoromethyl sulfonate(Zn(OTf)2),to reconstruct the Zn^(2+)solvated structure and in situ modified the adsorption layer on Zn electrode surface.Molecular dynamics simulations(MD),density functional theory(DFT)calculations were combined with experiment to prove that the long-chain polymer-PEGDME could effectively reduce side reactions,change the solvation structure of the electrolyte and priority absorbed on Zn(002),achieving a stable dendrite-free Zn anode.Due to the comprehensive regulation of solvation structure and zinc deposition by PEGDME,it can stably cycle for over 3200 h at room temperature at 0.5 mA/cm^(2)and 0.5 mAh/cm^(2).Even at high-temperature environments of 60℃,it can steadily work for more than 800 cycles(1600 h).Improved cyclic stability and rate performance of aqueous Zn‖VO_(2)batteries in modified electrolyte were also achieved at both room and high temperatures.Beyond that,the demonstration of stable and high-capacity Zn‖VO_(2)pouch cells also implies its practical application.

文摘Gels and conductive polymer composites,including hydrogen bonds(HBs),have emerged as promising materials for electro-magnetic wave(EMW)absorption across various applications.However,the relationship between conduction loss in EMW-absorbing materials and charge transfer in HB remains to be fully understood.In this study,we developed a series of deep eutectic gels to fine-tune the quantity of HB by adjusting the molar ratio of choline chloride(ChCl)and ethylene glycol(EG).Owing to the unique properties of deep eutectic gels,the effects of magnetic loss and polarization loss on EMW attenuation can be disregarded.Our results indicate that the quantity of HB initially increases and then decreases with the introduction of EG,with HB-induced conductive loss following similar pat-terns.At a ChCl and EG molar ratio of 2.4,the gel labeled G22-CE2.4 exhibited the best EMW absorption performance,characterized by an effective absorption bandwidth of 8.50 GHz and a thickness of 2.54 mm.This superior performance is attributed to the synergistic ef-fects of excellent conductive loss and impedance matching generated by the optimal number of HB.This work elucidates the role of HB in dielectric loss for the first time and provides valuable insights into the optimal design of supramolecular polymer absorbers.

文摘Dual-phase heterogeneous structures confer eutectic high-entropy alloy(EHEA)with excellent strength-ductility synergy under quasi-static tensile loading.However,it is questionable whether the EHEAs pos-sess equally good impact toughness because the phase interfaces are vulnerable to crack initiation.This work aimed to study the Charpy impact toughness and fracture behavior of AlCoCrFeNi_(2.1) EHEA.The results indicate that while maintaining high tensile strength and ductility,the AlCoCrFeNi_(2.1) EHEA also shows a satisfactory impact toughness of 25.86 J/cm^(2),superior to most other dual-phase alloys like TC4 titanium alloy or DP steel.Fractography analysis reveals characteristic regions of the fracture surface,which suggests energy absorption mechanisms primarily through ductile dimples,flat cleavage facets,secondary cracks,and microvoids,corresponding to a ductile-brittle mixed fracture mode.Detailed obser-vations of the deformed microstructure through TEM and EBSD demonstrate that FCC(L1_(2))and BCC(B2)phases underwent concurrent tearing along their phase boundaries,indicating a crucial influence of phase boundaries over crack initiation and propagation.The FCC(L1_(2))phase bore almost all plastic deformation of the sample through dislocation slip,whereas the BCC(B2)phase underwent a rapid shearing but almost no dislocation slip.Crack initiation under impact loading typically starts at the FCC(L1_(2))/BCC(B2)inter-face before propagating through the BCC(B2)phase.Additionally,this work further examines the effect of sample size and notch shape on the impact toughness of AlCoCrFeNi_(2.1) EHEA.A comparative analysis of the mechanical behavior under static and impact loading was also conducted,highlighting differences and connections in stress distribution and fracture surface morphology.The study offers valuable insights into the mechanical response and fracture behavior of AlCoCrFeNi_(2.1) EHEA under impact loading,provid-ing crucial information for its potential industrial applications.

文摘Aqueous Zn-ion batteries(AZIBs)have been regarded as promising alternatives to Li-ion batteries due to their advantages,such as low cost,high safety,and environmental friendliness.However,AZIBs face significant challenges in limited stability and lifetime owing to zinc dendrite growth and serious side reactions caused by water molecules in the aqueous electrolyte during cycling.To address these issues,a new eutectic electrolyte based on Zn(ClO_(4))_(2)·6H_(2)O-N-methylacetamide(ZN)is proposed in this work.Compared with aqueous electrolyte,the ZN eutectic electrolyte containing organic N-methylacetamide could regulate the solvated structure of Zn^(2+),effectively suppressing zinc dendrite growth and side reactions.As a result,the Zn//NH4 V4 O10 full cell with the eutectic ZN-1-3 electrolyte demonstrates significantly enhanced cycling stability after 1000 cycles at 1 A g^(-1).Therefore,this study not only presents a new eutectic electrolyte for zinc-ion batteries but also provides a deep understanding of the influence of Zn^(2+)solvation structure on the cycle stability,contributing to the exploration of novel electrolytes for high-performance AZIBs.

文摘In the present study,AlCoCrFeNi_(2.1)eutectic high-entropy alloy(EHEA)has been fabricated by laser melting deposition(LMD).The influence of laser energy density on microstructures,wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the alloy was systematically explored.The results indicate that the AlCoCrFeNi_(2.1)EHEA exhibited lamellar eutectic microstructures with alternating FCC and BCC phases.With the increase in laser energy density,the alloy grain size,interlamellar spacing,and volume fraction of the FCC phase increased,while the hardness of the alloy decreased.Meanwhile,the tribological performance of the alloy deteriorated with increasing laser energy density,and the combined effects of abrasive wear and adhesive wear gradually became significant.In addition,increasing laser energy density from 18.2 to 25 J/mm^(2)resulted in the increase in corrosion current density of the AlCoCrFeNi_(2.1)EHEA from 6.36×10^(−8) to 3.02×10^(−7) A/cm^(2)and the negative shift of corrosion potential from−211 to−292 mV(SCE).In summary,reducing laser energy density improved the wear and corrosion performance of the additively manufactured AlCoCrFeNi_(2.1)EHEA.

文摘Solvent extraction,a separation and purification technology,is crucial in critical metal metallurgy.Organic solvents commonly used in solvent extraction exhibit disadvantages,such as high volatility,high toxicity,and flammability,causing a spectrum of hazards to human health and environmental safety.Neoteric solvents have been recognized as potential alternatives to these harmful organic solvents.In the past two decades,several neoteric solvents have been proposed,including ionic liquids(ILs)and deep eutectic solvents(DESs).DESs have gradually become the focus of green solvents owing to several advantages,namely,low toxicity,degradability,and low cost.In this critical review,their classification,formation mechanisms,preparation methods,characterization technologies,and special physicochemical properties based on the most recent advancements in research have been systematically described.Subsequently,the major separation and purification applications of DESs in critical metal metallurgy were comprehensively summarized.Finally,future opportunities and challenges of DESs were explored in the current research area.In conclusion,this review provides valuable insights for improving our overall understanding of DESs,and it holds important potential for expanding separation and purification applications in critical metal metallurgy.

文摘The effect of deformation resistance of AlCr_(1.3)TiNi_(2) eutectic high-entropy alloys under various current densities and strain rates was investigated during electrically-assisted compression.Results show that at current density of 60 A/mm^(2) and strain rate of 0.1 s^(−1),the ultimate tensile stress shows a significant decrease from approximately 3000 MPa to 1900 MPa with reduction ratio of about 36.7%.However,as current density increases,elongation decreases due to intermediate temperature embrittlement.This is because the current induces Joule effect,which then leads to stress concentration and more defect formation.Moreover,the flow stress is decreased with the increase in strain rate at constant current density.

文摘The microstructure of single crystal superalloy is relatively simple,consisting primarily ofγdendrites andγ/γ′eutectics.During the directional solidification process of Ni-based single crystal superalloys,withdrawal rate is a critical parameter affecting the spatial distribution ofγ/γ′eutectic along gravity direction.The results show that theγ/γ′eutectic fraction of the upper platform surface is always higher than that of the lower one,regardless of withdrawal rate.As the withdrawal rate decreases,there is a significant increase inγ/γ′eutectic fraction on the upper surface,while it decreases on the lower surface.The upward accumulation ofγ/γ′eutectic becomes more severe as the withdrawal rate decreases.It is also found that the percentage of Al+Ta is positively correlated with theγ/γ′eutectic fraction.Thermo-solute convection of Al and Ta solutes in the solidification front is the prime reason for the non-uniform distribution of eutectic.The non-uniform distribution ofγ/γ′eutectic cannot be eliminated even after subsequent solution heat treatment,resulting in excess eutectic on the upper surface and thus leading to the scrapping of the blade.

文摘The nucleation and growth of eutectic cell in hypoeutectic Al-Si alloy was investigated using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy equipped with electron backscattering diffraction（EBSD）.By revealing the eutectic cells and analyzing the crystallographic orientation,it was found that both the eutectic Si and Al phases in an eutectic cell were not single crystal,representing an eutectic cell consisting of small ＇grains＇.It is also suggested that the eutectic nucleation mode can not be determined based on the crystallographic orientation between eutectic Al phases and the neighboring primary dendrite Al phases.However,the evolution of primary dendrite Al phases affects remarkably the following nucleation and growth of eutectic cell.The coarse flake-fine fibrous transition of eutectic Si morphology involved in impurity elements modification may be independent of eutectic nucleation.

文摘Fe(Al,Ta)/Fe_(2)Ta(Al)eutectic composites with solidification rates of 6,20,30,and 80μm/s were prepared by a modified Bridgman directional solidification technology.The coarse Fe_(2)Ta(Al)Laves phase was precipitated at the eutectic colony boundary during the solidification process,which can affect the stability of microstructure and properties of the composites.The coarse Laves phase was refined using different heat treatment processes in the present paper.The influences of different heat treatment parameters on the Laves phase content,lamella/rod spacing,and mechanical properties were investigated in detail.In addition,the corrosion behaviors of Fe(Al,Ta)/Fe_(2)Ta(Al)eutectic composites before and after being annealed heat treatment in a 3 g/L Na_(2)S_(2)O_(3)solution were also studied.It is shown that both the content of Laves phase and lamella/rod spacing are gradually decreased after heat treatment.Micro-hardness is decreased,while the yield strength,compressive strength,and corrosion resistance are improved.The optimum heat treatment process is selected as well.

文摘This study explores green and low-viscosity deep eutectic solvents(DESs) for the efficient extraction of quinoline(QUI) from wash oil.The hydrogen bond donors and acceptors constituting DESs were initially screened based on thermodynamic properties predicted by the conductor-like screening model for real solvents(COSMO-RS),followed by further selection considering the viscosity and cost of the formed DESs.Phase equilibrium experiments showed that the DES composed of triethylmethylammonium chloride and formic acid exhibited the best extraction performance among the selected candidates.Key extraction parameters were optimized experimentally,achieving a maximum QUI extraction efficiency of 97.18% under mild conditions.Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that the interactions between quaternary ammonium cations and QUI play a crucial role in the extraction mechanism.This study provides insights into the use of DESs for QUI extraction and demonstrates their potential for application to other coal tar derivatives.

文摘Aqueous sodium-ion batteries(ASIBs)have garnered significant attention as promising candidates for large-scale energy storage applications.This interest is primarily due to their abundant resource availability,environmental friendliness,cost-effectiveness,and high safety.However,their electrochemical performance is limited by the thermodynamic properties of water molecules,resulting in inadequate cycling stability and insufficient specific energy density.To address these challenges,this study developed a hydrogen-bond enhanced urea-glycerol eutectic electrolyte(UGE)to expand the electrochemical stability window(ESW)of the electrolyte and suppress corresponding side reactions.The eutectic component disrupts the original hydrogen bonding network in water,creating a new,enhanced network that reduces the activity of free water and forms a uniform,dense passivation layer on the anode.As a result,the optimized composition of UGE exhibits a broad ESW of up to 3 V(-1.44 to 1.6 V vs.Ag/AgCl).The Prussian blue(PB)/UGE/NaTi_(2)(PO_(4))_(3)@C full cell exhibits an exceptionally long lifespan of 10,000 cycles at 10 C.This study introduces a low-cost,ultra-long-life ASIB system,utilizing a green and economical eutectic electrolyte,which expands the use of eutectic electrolytes in aqueous batteries and opens a new research horizon for constructing efficient electrochemical energy storage and conversion.

文摘This work investigated the original microstructure of cold-worked alumina-forming austenitic steel,along with its precipitation and dissolution corrosion behaviors in lead-bismuth eutectic with 10-8 wt.%oxygen at 600℃,using solution-annealed steel for comparison.Anomalously,cold-worked steel presented milder corrosion compared to solution-annealed steel,with average corrosion depths of 314.3 and 401.0μm after 1700 h exposure.Cold working-induced de-twinning transformed the annealing twin boundaries into normal high-angle grain boundaries(NGBs),increasing NGBs proportion from 36%to 89%.The increased NGBs provided more nucleation sites for intergranular barriers composed of alternate NiAl and M23C6 precipitates,thus better obstructing the dissolution attack.

文摘Copper nanosheets and sulfur particles were synthesized synchronously by electrolysis,after dissolving Cu_(2)S in ChCl-thiourea(TU)deep eutectic solvent(DES)system.The optimized electrolysis conditions of 0.9 V,80℃,and 2 h resulted in the deposition of pure nano-sized copper sheets with a length of approximately 500 nm and a thickness of approximately 30 nm,and the production of sulfur particles with an average size of approximately 10μm.The morphology of the cathodic products was significantly influenced by the electrolysis voltage.When Cu_(2)S was introduced into ChCl-TU,it dissolved[CuCl_(2)]^(-)without disrupting the structure of the choline ion(Ch^(+)).As the electrolysis time increased,the copper deposition changed from wire to sheet growth,with the growth direction from radial to epitaxial along the substrate and back to radial.

文摘A heterogeneous CoNiCr_(2)eutectic medium-entropy alloy(EMEA),comprising soft face-centered cubic(FCC)and hard body-centered cubic(BCC)lamellae,associated with minor acicular hexagonal close-packed(HCP)phase precipitated in BCC phase,was synthesized towards excellent tensile strength and ductility synergy.The tensile mechanical properties demonstrated that this alloy was temperature-dependent,i.e.,when the testing temperature reduced from room temperature(RT)to liquid nitrogen temperature(LNT),the yield strength,ultimate strength,and uniform elongation were enhanced from 449 MPa,821 MPa,and 5.0%to 702 MPa,1174 MPa,and 8.4%,respectively.The prominent elevation of yield strength at LNT mainly resulted from the dramatically enhanced lattice friction stress(σ0)and the FCC-BCC interfacial strengthening,while the improved ductility was attributed to the superior crack-arrest capability of FCC matrix stemmed from the accumulation of stacking faults(SFs)and enhancedσ0 at LNT.Additionally,although the deformation mechanisms were dominated by planar dislocation glides and SFs at both temperatures,the initiation of premature cracks in the BCC phase due to the inferior deformation capability at LNT constrained the better strength-ductility trade-off.The cracks in the BCC phase tended to propagate along the BCC-HCP interfaces because of the strain incompatibility.Further-more,the sub-nanoscale L1_(2) particles in the FCC matrix could not only strengthen this alloy but also im-prove the stacking fault energy leading to no deformation twinning even at LNT.This work may provide a guide for the design of remarkable strength and ductility synergy EMEAs combined with outstanding castability for applications at cryogenic temperatures.

文摘Reaction crystallization method is a common cocrystal synthesis approach attributed to the advantage of avoiding individual crystallization of insoluble components,but faces the defects of soluble components precipitated due to organic solvent volatilization and the formation of unwanted solvates.Our group recently proposed a slurry method based on deep eutectic solvents(DESs)for cocrystal synthesis,which is green,safe and can avoid solvate formation.However,some reactions only produce insoluble raw materials rather than cocrystals due to insufficient activity of the soluble cocrystal co-formers in DESs.Herein,combining the dual benefits of the two methods,a novel reaction crystallization method based on DESs was proposed and employed for cocrystal synthesis of nicotinamide,carbamazepine and theophylline,which can prevent individual crystallization,unwanted solvate formation,and soluble component precipitation,providing a promising alternative for green and efficient synthesis of cocrystals.
