Herein, we proposed a surface heterophase coating engineering based on amorphous/crystalline Li3 PO4 to address these issues for Li-rich layered oxides via a facile wet chemical method. The heterophase coating layer combines the advantages of physical barrier effect achieved by amorphous Li3 PO4 with facilitated Li+diffusion stemmed from crystalline Li3 PO4. Consequently, the modified Li(1.2) Ni(0.2) Mn(0.6) O2 delivers higher initial coulombic efficiency of 92% with enhanced cycling stability at 55 °C(192.9 mAh/g after 100 cycles at 1 C). More importantly, the intrinsic voltage decay has been inhibited as well, i.e. the average potential drop per cycle decreases from 5.96 mV to 2.99 mV. This surface heterophase coating engineering provides an effective strategy to enhance the high-temperature electrochemical performances of Li-rich layered oxides and guides the direction of surface modification strategies for cathode materials in the future.展开更多

The rough decrements of drain current and transeonductance with the operation temperature are observed. Compared with the conventional HFETs, the drain current drop of the PolFET is smaller. The transeonductance drop of PolFETs at different gate biases shows different temperature dependences. From the aspect of the unique carrier behaviors of graded AlGaN/GaN heterostructure, we propose a quasi-multi-channel model to investigate the physics behind the temperature-dependent performance of AlGaN/GaN PolFETs.展开更多

To improve the high-temperature performance of the asphalt-rubber mixture, technical measurements, such as, the optimal adjustment of gradation, technique of composite modification, and control of compaction were investigated. An optimal adjustment of aggregate gradation based on stone matrix asphalt improves the high-temperature stability of the asphaltrubber mixture significantly. Through composite modifi- cation, the effect of asphalt-rubber modification was enhanced, and the dynamic stability and relative defor- mation indices of the asphalt-rubber mixture were improved significantly. Furthermore, compaction parame- ters had a significant influence on the high-temperature stability of the asphalt-rubber mixture. The rolling times for compacting the asphalt-rubber mixture should be controlled to within 18-20 round-trips at a molding temperature at 180℃; if the rolling time is a 12 round-trip, the compaction temperature of the asphalt-rubber mixture should be controlled between 180 and 190℃.展开更多

An increasing number of deformation twins have formed as the cold rolling reduction degree increases during the cold rolling process. During the tensile process at 700 ℃, M23C6 particles generated along the deformation twin boundaries, and NbCrN nanoparticles dispersedly precipitated throughout the austenite grains. For the high-temperature tensile sample subjected to cold reduction for 80%, it is observed from the fractured cross section that numerous defor-mation twin boundaries were decorated by discontinuous M23C6 particles. Therefore, austenite grains were divided into several independent zones by the deformation twins, and the grains were refined. Due to the grain refinement strengthening and precipitation strengthening, the high-temperature temporal strength of the 80% cold-rolled sample was significantly improved, and simultaneously, this sample exhibited favorable high-temperature elongation.展开更多

The effects of Ti addition on the structure and the electrochemical properties were investigated. The results indicate that the substitution of Ti for Ni leads to the conversion of β-Ni（OH）2 to α-Ni（OH）2 and the increase of the inter layer distance along c-axis from 0.464nm to 0.707nm. Infrared study reveals that more anions（SO2-4 and CO2-3 ions） and H2O exist in the Ti substituted α-Ni（OH）2. The discharge capacity of the Ti substituted α-Ni（OH）2 is 210mA·h/g at 20℃ and reaches up to 270mA·h/g at 80℃ owing to the inhibition of the oxygen evolution at high temperature.展开更多

It was found that both tests could not accurately reflect the adhesion performances of the sealant at high temperatures. For this purpose, the adhesion test for PSAT（pressure sensitive adhesive tape） has been taken as a reference to develop a device that is suitable for evaluating the adhesion performances, by modifying relevant test parameters according to the road conditions at high temperatures. Thirteen common sealants were tested in the modified adhesion test, softening point test and f low test. The experimental results show that no significant correlation（p〉0.05） exists between the adhesion value, softening point, adhesion value and flow value; while a significant correlation（p〈0.05） exists between the softening point and flow value. The modified adhesion test is efficient in distinguishing the hightemperature adhesion performances of different sealants, and can be used as a standard method for evaluating such performances.展开更多

文摘Ceramic cores are key to forming a cooling structure within the hollow blade cavities.The use of stereolithography(SL)3D printing technology eliminates the need for moulds,facilitating the preparation of complex-shaped ceramic cores.In this study,silica-based ceramic cores incorporating nano-3YSZ(3mol.% yttria stabilised zirconia)and micron-sized Y_(2)O_(3) were prepared via SL 3D printing ceramic technology to promote the formation of cristobalite and ZrSiO_(4),thereby improving the high-temperature properties.The flexural strength at 25℃ and 1,500℃,deflection at 1,500℃,shrinkage rate,and porosity of the core samples sintered at different temperatures(1,170℃,1,185℃,1,200℃,1,215℃,and 1,230℃)were tested and investigated.The mechanism underlying the high temperature performance of the cores was elucidated through analysis of cross-sectional morphology,element distribution,and phase constitution of the samples.As the sintering temperature increases,the shrinkage and flexural strength at 25℃ of the core rise,while the open porosity and deflection at 1,500℃ decrease.When the sintering temperature reaches 1,200℃ or higher,the 1,500℃ flexural strength can be measured,which increases as the sintering temperature rises.The core exhibits excellent creep resistance when sintered at temperatures of 1,200℃ and above.Considering the comprehensive performance requirements for the core,the sintering temperature of 1,200℃ was selected.At the sintering temperature of 1,200℃,the core exhibits shrinkage rates of 3.76%(X),3.38%(Y),and 3.95%(Z),alongside a flexural strength of 9.01 MPa at 25℃ and 32.15 MPa at 1,500℃,and an open porosity of 26.39%.The deflection of the core at 1,500℃ is 0.15 mm,which helps to maintain the dimensional stability of the ceramic core during casting.XRD results indicate that samples fractured after 25℃ flexural strength test still contain amorphous quartz glass,alongside substantial quantities of yttria stabilized zirconia and Y_(2)O_(3).Samples fractured after 1,500℃ flexural strength test exhibit significant crystallisation of amorphous quartz glass into cristobalite,with silica and 3YSZ combining to form ZrSiO_(4).Y_(2)O_(3) as a network modifier of the glass network destroys the bridging oxygen in the silica-oxygen bond,thereby reducing the energy required for glass crystallisation and promoting the crystallisation reaction of quartz glass to form cristobalite.In addition,nano-3YSZ combines with SiO_(2) at high temperatures to form ZrSiO_(4).Since cristobalite and ZrSiO_(4) are crystals,both of them have strong creep resistance,thus improving the high temperature flexural strength and deformation resistance of the ceramic cores.

文摘Li-rich layered oxides have become one of the most concerned cathode materials for high-energy lithiumion batteries, but they still suffer from poor cycling stability and detrimental voltage decay, especially at elevated temperature. Herein, we proposed a surface heterophase coating engineering based on amorphous/crystalline Li3 PO4 to address these issues for Li-rich layered oxides via a facile wet chemical method. The heterophase coating layer combines the advantages of physical barrier effect achieved by amorphous Li3 PO4 with facilitated Li+diffusion stemmed from crystalline Li3 PO4. Consequently, the modified Li(1.2) Ni(0.2) Mn(0.6) O2 delivers higher initial coulombic efficiency of 92% with enhanced cycling stability at 55 °C(192.9 mAh/g after 100 cycles at 1 C). More importantly, the intrinsic voltage decay has been inhibited as well, i.e. the average potential drop per cycle decreases from 5.96 mV to 2.99 mV. This surface heterophase coating engineering provides an effective strategy to enhance the high-temperature electrochemical performances of Li-rich layered oxides and guides the direction of surface modification strategies for cathode materials in the future.

文摘A dual-scale hybrid HfB_(2)/Cu-Hf composite with HfB_(2) microparticles and Cu_(5) Hf nanoprecipitates was designed and prepared.The contribution of the hybrid effect to the mechanical properties and high-temperature performances was studied from macro and micro perspectives,respectively.The hybrid of dual-scale particles can make the strain distribution of the composite at the early deformation stage more uniform and delay the strain concentration caused by the HfB_(2) particle.The dislocation pinning of HfB_(2) particles and the coherent strengthening of Cu_(5) Hf nanoprecipitates simultaneously play a strengthening role,but the strength of the hybrid composite is not a simple superposition of two strengthening mod-els.In addition,both Cu_(5) Hf nanoprecipitates and HfB_(2) microparticles contribute to the high-temperature performance of the composite,the growth and phase transition of nanoprecipitates at high temperature will reduce their contribution to strength,while the stable HfB_(2) particles can inhibit the coarsening of matrix grains and maintain the high-density geometrically necessary dislocations(GNDs)in the matrix,which ensures more excellent high-temperature resistance of the hybrid composite.As a result,the hy-brid structure can simultaneously possess the advantages of multiple reinforcements and make up for the shortcomings of each other.Finally,a copper matrix composite with high strength,high conductivity,and excellent high-temperature performance is displayed.
文摘We report on the temperature-dependent dc performance of A1GaN/GaN polarization doped field effect transistors （PolFETs）. The rough decrements of drain current and transeonductance with the operation temperature are observed. Compared with the conventional HFETs, the drain current drop of the PolFET is smaller. The transeonductance drop of PolFETs at different gate biases shows different temperature dependences. From the aspect of the unique carrier behaviors of graded AlGaN/GaN heterostructure, we propose a quasi-multi-channel model to investigate the physics behind the temperature-dependent performance of AlGaN/GaN PolFETs.
文摘Asphalt-rubber pavements often become dam-aged in high-temperature regions and appear rutted or wavy, and experience slippage. To improve the high-temperature performance of the asphalt-rubber mixture, technical measurements, such as, the optimal adjustment of gradation, technique of composite modification, and control of compaction were investigated. An optimal adjustment of aggregate gradation based on stone matrix asphalt improves the high-temperature stability of the asphaltrubber mixture significantly. Through composite modifi- cation, the effect of asphalt-rubber modification was enhanced, and the dynamic stability and relative defor- mation indices of the asphalt-rubber mixture were improved significantly. Furthermore, compaction parame- ters had a significant influence on the high-temperature stability of the asphalt-rubber mixture. The rolling times for compacting the asphalt-rubber mixture should be controlled to within 18-20 round-trips at a molding temperature at 180℃; if the rolling time is a 12 round-trip, the compaction temperature of the asphalt-rubber mixture should be controlled between 180 and 190℃.

文摘Influence of deformation twinning on high-temperature instantaneous performance of cold-rolled S31042 steel was investigated by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and high-temperature tensile test. An increasing number of deformation twins have formed as the cold rolling reduction degree increases during the cold rolling process. During the tensile process at 700 ℃, M23C6 particles generated along the deformation twin boundaries, and NbCrN nanoparticles dispersedly precipitated throughout the austenite grains. For the high-temperature tensile sample subjected to cold reduction for 80%, it is observed from the fractured cross section that numerous defor-mation twin boundaries were decorated by discontinuous M23C6 particles. Therefore, austenite grains were divided into several independent zones by the deformation twins, and the grains were refined. Due to the grain refinement strengthening and precipitation strengthening, the high-temperature temporal strength of the 80% cold-rolled sample was significantly improved, and simultaneously, this sample exhibited favorable high-temperature elongation.
文摘High-temperature performance tests of chromium-containing stuffing sand for a steel ladle w ith different ratios w ere performed. A high-temperature simulation test furnace w as used to analyze the influence of the composition ratio of ladle filler sand and sintering time on the high-temperature compression resistance of chromium-containing stuffing sand in the temperature range of 1 500- 1 600 ℃. The results show that the refractoriness of ladle filler sand w as the low est（ only 1 610 ℃） w hen the composition ratio of chromite sand and silica sand w as 6∶ 4. M oreover,the high-temperature compression resistance w as high w hen the content of chromite sand w as at 70%; the resistance increased w ith increasing sintering time. When the sintering time w as extended at a temperature of 1 600 ℃,the high-temperature compression resistance of ladle filler sand first increased and then decreased after being overburnt.
文摘Ti substituted α-Ni（OH）2（c=2.121nm, a =0.307nm） with perfect high-temperature performance was prepared by the co-precipitation method. The effects of Ti addition on the structure and the electrochemical properties were investigated. The results indicate that the substitution of Ti for Ni leads to the conversion of β-Ni（OH）2 to α-Ni（OH）2 and the increase of the inter layer distance along c-axis from 0.464nm to 0.707nm. Infrared study reveals that more anions（SO2-4 and CO2-3 ions） and H2O exist in the Ti substituted α-Ni（OH）2. The discharge capacity of the Ti substituted α-Ni（OH）2 is 210mA·h/g at 20℃ and reaches up to 270mA·h/g at 80℃ owing to the inhibition of the oxygen evolution at high temperature.

文摘The development of advanced titanium alloys capable of operating above 600°C remains a critical challenge for aerospace propulsion systems,where conventional Ti alloys suffer from insufficient high-temperature strength and microstructural instability.Here,we propose a computationally driven design strategy for titanium-based medium-entropy alloys(MEAs)that integrates thermodynamic phase prediction with mechanistically informed strength modeling,enabling systematic exploration of the Ti-Nb-Al-Cr quaternary system.The optimized Ti7oNbioAl15Cr5 MEA exhibits exceptional performance metrics:18%room-temperature ductility(as-cast),a yield strength of 520.7 MPa at 650°C(post-aging),and an ultralow density of 4.76 g/cm³(45%lighter than Inconel 718).Microstructural characterization reveals a metastable single-phase BCC structure in the as-cast state,which transforms into a BCC/TiAl dual-phase system upon aging,with temperature-dependent precipitate morphology and phase stability.The alloy demonstrates superior high-temperature strength retention up to 900°C(>80 MPa yield strength),outperforming commercial titanium alloys(e.g.,Ti-1100,TG6)and bridging the performance gap between conventional Ti alloys and nickel-based superalloys.This work establishes a multi-criteria design paradigm for entropy-engineered alloys,offering a viable pathway to lightweight,high-temperature structural materials for next-generation aerospace applications.

文摘The non-uniform pore size distribution and high flammability of commercial separators pose significant challenges to the safe application of high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries.In this study,a flame-retardant composite separator(P@HLi)with high thermal stability was successfully developed,which not only suppressed lithium dendrite growth but also improved high-temperature cycling performance of batteries and significantly enhanced their thermal safety.Li//Li symmetric batteries equipped with P@HLi-20 separators demonstrated stable cycling for over 600 h at a low polarization potential(approximately 50 mV),effectively reducing the formation of“dead lithium”and lithium dendrites.The LFP//Li and NCM811//Li cells with P@HLi-20 separators delivered initial discharge specific capacities of 142.0 and 167.9 mAh/g,respectively.Notably,the LFP//Li battery with P@HLi-20 separator showed excellent hightemperature cycling performance,maintaining 98.0%capacity retention and a discharge capacity of 131.1 mAh/g after 100 cycles at 1 C at 90℃.Furthermore,pouch cells assembled with P@HLi-20 separators exhibited reductions of 52.67%in peak heat release rate(PHRR)and 68.42%in total heat release(THR)compared to those using Celgard separators,demonstrating superior thermal safety.These results confirm that the P@HLi separator offers comprehensive improvements in both electrochemical performance and safety characteristics.

文摘Powder metallurgy was used to fabricate TiC-NiCr cermets and the oxidation behavior at 900℃ was investigated.Results reveal that TiC-NiCr cermets have uniform structures with excellent mechanical properties,whose hardness is 65 HRC and flexural strength is 1450 MPa.The high-temperature oxidation mechanism of TiC-based cermets was investigated through an X-ray diffractometer and scanning electron microscope.The added elements Ni and Cr along with their solid solutions not only bond with the hard phase TiC to ensure the physical performance of the cermet,but also impede the internal diffusion during oxidation by forming a dense composite oxide layer,thereby enhancing the oxidation resistance.The TiC-NiCr cermet exhibits a dense protective oxide layer at 900℃ and can endure continuous oxidation for approximately 1000 h.A methodology for fabricating TiC-NiCr metal matrix composites is proposed,and their oxidation resistance is evaluated,providing a theoretical and practical basis for simultaneously enhancing the mechanical properties and oxidation resistance and reducing production costs.

文摘The deep underground engineering will face high-temperature and ultrahigh-pressure(HTUP)condition.Indoor triaxial testing is an important means to investigate this challenge in rock mechanics and rock engineering.Heat-shrinkable tubing,as a seal on the rock surface,is crucial for reconstructing deep rock in situ conditions(ensuring the accuracy and effectiveness of confining pressure and pore pressure).However,there are few reports on testing such material under HTUP condition.Thus,the mechanical and sealing performances of existing heat-shrinkable tubing under HTUP condition is still immature.The motivation of this study is to advance deep rock mechanics and engineering by developing a polymer heat-shrinkable tubing(pressure larger than 140 MPa and temperature greater than 150℃).Experiments using the deep rock in situ thermal insulation coring test system were conducted and compared with conventional heat-shrinkable tubing.The sealing performance of the polymer heat-shrinkable tubing was investigated.The results indicated that deep rock ultrahigh-pressure condition and natural damage to the rock surface are the main causes of conventional heat-shrinkable tubing failure.In contrast,the damage rate of the proposed polymer heat-shrinkable tubing is extremely low,indicating that incorporating base material with high-performances can significantly enhance the pressure resistance of polymer heat-shrinkable tubing.Additionally,through the analysis of experimental results and the three-dimensional(3D)morphology of rock surfaces,the failure behavior of heat-shrinkable tubing under HTUP condition was revealed at the meso-structural level,and the proposed failure criteria,taking into account 3D morphology of rock surfaces and applicable to HTUP condition,have been advanced.The findings offer possibilities for triaxial rock mechanics testing in HTUP condition,providing theoretical and technical support for experiments and engineering applications in deep rock mechanics.

文摘Microbial polysaccharides,due to their unique physicochemical properties,have been shown to effec-tively enhance the stability of foam fracturing fluids.However,the combined application of microbial polysaccharides and surfactants under high-temperature and high-salinity conditions remain poorly understood.In this study,we innovatively investigate this problem with a particular focus on foam stabilization mechanisms.By employing the Waring blender method,the optimal surfactant-microbial polysaccharide blends are identified,and the foam stability,rheological properties,and decay behavior in different systems under varying conditions are systematically analyzed for the first time.The results reveal that microbial polysaccharides significantly enhance foam stability by improving the viscoelasticity of the liquid films,particularly under high-salinity and high-temperature conditions,leading to notable improvements in both foam stability and sand-carrying capacity.Additionally,scanning electron microscopy(SEM)is used to observe the microstructure of the foam liquid films,demonstrating that the network structure formed by the foam stabilizer within the liquid film effectively inhibits foam coarsening.The Lauryl betaine and Diutan gum blend exhibits outstanding foam stability,superior sand-carrying capacity,and minimal core damage,making(LAB+MPS04)it ideal for applications in enhanced production and reservoir stimulation of unconventional reservoirs.

文摘In order to investigate the high-temperature performances of the asphalt pavement hot-applied sealant, as well as to reduce failures of the sealant pullout, the softening point test and the flow test（two existing methods for evaluating high-temperature performances） were conducted. It was found that both tests could not accurately reflect the adhesion performances of the sealant at high temperatures. For this purpose, the adhesion test for PSAT（pressure sensitive adhesive tape） has been taken as a reference to develop a device that is suitable for evaluating the adhesion performances, by modifying relevant test parameters according to the road conditions at high temperatures. Thirteen common sealants were tested in the modified adhesion test, softening point test and f low test. The experimental results show that no significant correlation（p〉0.05） exists between the adhesion value, softening point, adhesion value and flow value; while a significant correlation（p〈0.05） exists between the softening point and flow value. The modified adhesion test is efficient in distinguishing the hightemperature adhesion performances of different sealants, and can be used as a standard method for evaluating such performances.

文摘To mitigate the impact of interdiffusion reactions between the silicide slurry and Ta12W alloy substrate during vacuum sintering process on the oxidation resistance of the silicide coating,a micro-arc oxidation pretreatment was employed to construct a Ta_(2)O_(5)ceramic layer on the Ta12W alloy surface.Subsequently,a slurry spraying-vacuum sintering method was used to prepare a Si-Cr-Ti-Zr coating on the pretreated substrate.Comparative studies were conducted on the microstructure,phase composition,and isothermal oxidation resistance(at 1600℃)of the as-prepared coatings with and without the micro-arc oxidation ceramic layer.The results show that the Ta_(2)O_(5)layer prepared at 400 V is more continuous and has smaller pores than that prepared at 350 V.After microarc oxidation pretreatment,the Si-Cr-Ti-Zr coating on Ta12W alloy consists of three distinct layers:an upper layer dominated by Ti_(5)Si_(3),Ta_(5)Si_(3),and ZrSi;a middle layer dominated by TaSi_(2);a coating/substrate interfacial reaction layer dominated by Ta_(5)Si_(3).Both the Si-Cr-Ti-Zr coatings with and without the Ta_(2)O_(5)ceramic layer do not fail after isothermal oxidation at 1600℃for 5 h.Notably,the addition of the Ta2O5 ceramic layer reduces the high-temperature oxidation rate of the coating.

文摘The adsorptive denitrification performance of MIL-101(Cr)-0.5 toward pyridine,aniline or quinoline in simulated fuels with basic nitrogen content of 1732μg/g was evaluated separately.Furthermore,the effects of adsorption temperature,adsorption time and adsorbent dosage on their adsorptive denitrification performance were systematically investigated.The experimental results demonstrated that under a fixed adsorbent dosage of 0.05 g and a simulated fuel volume of 10 mL,the optimal removal efficiency for aniline was achieved at 30℃ within 30 min,whereas higher temperatures and longer times(40℃and 40 min)were required for effective removal of pyridine and quinoline.Density Functional Theory(DFT)calculations were conducted via Materials Studio(MS)software to study the adsorptive denitrification mechanism of MIL-101(Cr)toward these three basic nitrogen-containing compounds.The simulation calculation results revealed that the interaction between pyridine and MIL-101(Cr)primarily involved coordination adsorption.In contrast,the interaction between aniline or quinoline and MIL-101(Cr)proceeded mainly through coordination,with additional contributions fromπ-complexation and hydrogen bonding.The overall adsorption strength order is pyridine>aniline>quinoline.During the adsorption process,pyridine and quinoline transfer electrons to the MIL-101(Cr)surface through the H→C→N→Cr^(3+)pathway,while aniline transfers electrons to the MIL-101(Cr)surface through various pathways,including N→Cr^(3+),N→C→Cr^(3+)and N→H→O.Furthermore,adsorption kinetics studies indicated that the adsorption processes for all three basic nitrogen-containing compounds followed the quasi second order kinetic models.The experimental results on the effect of benzene on the adsorptive denitrification performance of MIL-101(Cr)-0.5 demonstrated that benzene exerted a more significant impact on the adsorption of aniline and quinoline.Finally,the adsorbent was regenerated using ethanol washing.It was found that MIL-101(Cr)-0.5 retained stable denitrification performance after two regeneration cycles.

文摘To elucidate the effect of calcite-regulated activated carbon(AC)structure on low-temperature denitrification performance of SCR catalysts,this work prepared a series of Mn-Ce/De-AC-xCaCO_(3)(x is the calcite content in coal)catalysts were prepared by the incipient wetness impregnation method,followed by acid washing to remove calcium-containing minerals.Comprehensive characterization and low-temperature denitrification tests revealed that calcite-induced structural modulation of coal-derived AC significantly enhances catalytic activity.Specifically,NO conversion increased from 88.3%of Mn-Ce/De-AC to 91.7%of Mn-Ce/De-AC-1CaCO_(3)(210℃).The improved SCR denitrification activity results from the enhancement of physicochemical properties including higher Mn^(4+)content and Ce^(4+)/Ce^(3+)ratio,an abundance of chemisorbed oxygen and acidic sites,which could strengthen the SCR reaction pathways(richer NH_(3)activated species and bidentate nitrate active species).Therefore,NO removal is enhanced.

文摘The limited high-temperature oxidation resistance of Mg alloys is a key factor restricting their development and application.The addition of some rare earth elements(REs),owing to their unique physical and chemical properties,can significantly enhance the oxidation resistance of Mg alloys.Based on our previous study,we conclude that REs such as Gd,Y,and Ce enhance the oxidation resistance of Mg-RE alloys.This article comprehensively reviews recent research progress on high-temperature oxidation behavior and the potential mechanism in Mg-RE alloys.Based on the thermodynamic and kinetic analyses,the evolution of the complex oxide system formed during the high-temperature oxidation of Mg-RE alloys is first summarized.The diffusion behavior and concentration control mechanisms of REs during the oxidation process and how these mechanisms affect the sustained growth of the oxide film and antioxidant properties were elucidated.Moreover,the different structures of the oxide films were classified,and their properties were discussed.Finally,this paper introduces the applications of commonly used REs in Mg alloys and frontier research on their oxidation mechanisms.Based on the above review,we propose that future research perspectives can be explored in terms of expanding the experimental temperature range for oxidation tests,optimizing the chemical composition by adding trace REs to study their synergistic mechanism,revealing the underlying oxidation mechanism through advanced in situ microscopic characterization methods,and investigating the mechanical properties of oxide films using diverse approaches.
