文摘The efficient regulation of sunlight to minimize unnecessary energy exchange through windows plays a vital role in advancing building energy efficiency.However,the inferior stability of cerium-doped tungsten trioxide(CWO)as a near-infrared(NIR)shielding material,combined with the poor mechanical properties of its coatings,poses significant challenges for long-term thermal insulation performance.Here,a hierarchical thermal insulation coating with multifunctional integration has been developed.The inner layer’s excellent NIR shielding performance(94.4%)results in a temperature reduction of 13.6°C,demonstrating outstanding thermal insulation.Meanwhile,the external layer composed of polysilsesquioxane grafted by carboxylated hexafluoropropylene trimer offers exceptional weather resistance due to the low surface energy.The fluorosilicone coating effectively mitigates oxidation of CWO,as evidenced by the retention of NIR shielding performance even after 30 days of exposure to 60°C and 90%relative humidity.Furthermore,the coating demonstrates superior anti-graffiti properties and achieves an ultra-high mechanical strength of 0.49 GPa through precise fluorine content modulation.This hierarchical design integrates high hardness,excellent abrasion resistance,anti-graffiti functionality,transparency,and long-term operational durability into a single smart window system,offering a promising solution for reducing building energy consumption.

文摘Nanoporous polymers are extensively coated on various substrates to deliver optical,permselective,or other functions.However,it remains desired to fast produce uniform nanoporous polymer coatings on substrates with complex surfaces.Herein,by manipulating the interactions between block copolymers and selective solvents,we prepare repairable nanoporous polymers on arbitrary substrates.This is realized by an extremely simple sequential coating process:sequential coating of block copolymers and their swelling agents on substrate surfaces.The swelling agents are comprised of two solvents that swell the constituent blocks of the copolymers to different degrees,rapidly producing polymer coatings with uniform,interconnected,sub-50 nm pores.This sequential coating process is able to conformally build nanoporous polymers on nonplanar substrates with large lateral sizes and complex surface features,and also to in situ repair defects arising during usages.We further demonstrate that the nanoporous coatings show excellent antireflective and membrane separation performances.This sequential coating process is dictated by polymer–solvent interactions,and is expected to find applications in diverse fields for its simplicity,adaptability,and the capability to produce well-defined nanoporosities.

文摘An advanced AlCrSiN/AlCrN/CrN/Cr multilayer coating was developed via hybrid multiarc ion plating and high-power impulse magnetron sputtering.The multilayer design enhanced the substrate-coating compatibility,achieving a critical load of 87.8 N.Silicon doping induced nanocrystallization and amorphization,increasing the hardness to 26 GPa.At high temperatures,a nanoscale Cr-rich(Cr,Al)_(2)O_(3) layer was formed,effectively inhibiting oxygen diffusion.The coating underwent unique phase transformations,during which Cr_(2)N and amorphous Si3N4 were converted into dispersed SiCr_(3) nanoparticles,which stabilized Cr atoms and suppressed their outward diffusion.Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations revealed that Cr atoms exhibited higher chemical activity and oxygen-capture capability than Al atoms and Si atoms served as diffusion barriers by pinning onto the oxidized surface,considerably improving the oxidation resistance of the coating.

文摘Epoxy resins are extensively employed in the construction,electronics,automotive,and aerospace industries owing to their outstandingmechanical strength,chemical resistance,and electrical insulation.However,their intrinsic flammability,poor wear resistance,and hydrophilicity significantly restrict broader applications.To address these challenges,a novel multifunctional coating(CEOS-DOPO-PDMS)has been designed and fabricated via an NPGLIDE approach.The system integrates 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide(DOPO)as a reactive phosphorus-based flame retardant,epoxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane(EP-PDMS)as a hydrophobic segment,and cycloaliphatic epoxy-functionalized oligosiloxanes(CEOS)as a cross-linking co-reactant.The resulting CEOSDOPO-PDMS hybrid precursor was blended with bisphenol A diglycidyl ether(DGEBA)in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone(NMP)and subsequently cured to form epoxy-based NP-GLIDE coatings.The optimized coating exhibits superior integrated performance,including high hydrophobicity(water contact angle up to 109.6°),outstanding abrasion resistance(5H pencil hardness),and excellent flame retardancy(resisting combustion at 500℃ for 30 s).These enhancements originate from the cooperative effects of the Si-O-Si framework,low-surface-energy PDMS chains,and phosphorus-containing DOPOmoieties,which together provide stable thermal protection,surface roughness-induced hydrophobicity,and durable mechanical integrity.An effective strategy for constructing multifunctional epoxy-based coatingswith simultaneously enhanced flame retardancy,wear resistance,andwater repellency is presented.The CEOSDOPO-PDMS system holds great promise for advanced protective applications in construction,transportation,and aerospace engineering.

文摘The high-temperature interaction of nanostructured Lu_(2)Si_(2)O_(7) environmental barrier coatings(EBCs)with calcium-magnesium-aluminosilicate(CMAS)was investigated at 1400℃ for 1,10,25,and 50 h to evaluate the coating’s resistance to CMAS corrosion.The results indicate a phase transformation over time,transitioning from Ca_(2)Lu_(8)(SiO_(4))6O_(2) apatite and Lu_(2)Si_(2)O_(7) to solely Lu_(2)Si_(2)O_(7).The interaction of the Lu_(2)Si_(2)O_(7) coating with the CMAS melts was divided into three stages based on the corrosion reaction behavior.The delamination cracks were distributed throughout the interface between the Si bond layer and Lu_(2)Si_(2)O_(7) layer after corroded at 1400℃ for 50 h,signifying coating failure.In addition,the influence of monosilicates,disilicates,and corrosion duration on the recession layer thickness was analyzed by comparing previous reports on RE_(2)SiO_(5)/RE_(2)Si_(2)O_(7) coatings(RE=Gd,Yb,Lu,Er).Furthermore,the variation in the thermally grown oxide layer thickness in CMAS-corroded Lu_(2)Si_(2)O_(7) coatings was systematically investigated.

文摘Towards the development of highly efficient electrochromic coatings,the crystallinity,morphology(e.g.size and shape)of electrochromic nanomaterials,and their charge insertion capacities play a significant role.Herein,we report the structure-dependent colouration effciency in electrochromic coatings based on the use of 0D,1D and 2D tungsten trioxide(WO_(3))nanostructures.A series of WO_(3)with different nanostructures were prepared and used as working electrodes to fabricate electrochromic devices for smart windows applications.Facile spray coating was applied on fluorine-doped tin oxide(FTO)substrate to make~70%transparent working electrodes to investigate their charge insertion capacities,electrochromic active surface area,and colouration efficiency.Results showed that the 2D WO_(3)nanoflakes displayed the highest diffusion coefficient for the intercalation of 1.52×10^(-10)cm^(2)/s with an increased electrochemical active surface area of 25.10 mF/cm^(2),a large modulation of optical reflectance(42.63%)with 3.79 s shorter response time for bleaching and a greater colouration efficiency(CE)value(89.29 cm^(2)/C)at 700 nm compared to the CE value for 1D WO_(3)(of 22 cm^(2)/C)and 0D WO_(3)(8 cm^(2)/C).The outcome of this study provides a new insight and valuable contribution to design an efficient electrochromic coating by controlling and optimising the nanostructures of selective electrochromic materials.

文摘Dual-layer thermal barrier coatings(TBCs)with ultrahigh temperature resistance were prepared on the surface of molybdenum-rhenium alloy hot-end components.The preparation of the MoSi_(2)-Gd_(2)Zr_(2)O_(7)dual-layer TBCs was designed based on the coefficient of thermal expansion and the coating functionality,and it was completed using atmospheric plasma spraying technique.The microstructure,mechanical properties,and thermal properties were analyzed.Results indicate that the adhesion of the prepared dual-layer composite TBCs is excellent,and no noticeable cracks appear at the interface.Compared with the MoSi_(2)coating with a low fracture toughness(0.88 MPa·m^(1/2)),the Gd_(2)Zr_(2)O_(7)coating exhibits higher fracture toughness(1.74 MPa·m^(1/2))and stronger resistance to crack propagation.The prepared MoSi_(2)-Gd_(2)Zr_(2)O_(7)composite coatings have a high porosity(39%),low thermal conductivity(1.020 W·(m·K)^(−1),1200℃),and low thermal diffusivity(0.249 mm^(2)/s,1200℃).Additionally,they possess a high oxygen-vacancy concentration,which ensures excellent insulation performance.

文摘TiB_(2)coatings can significantly enhance the high-temperature oxidation resistance of molybdenum,which would broaden the application range of molybdenum and alloys thereof.However,traditional methods for preparing TiB_(2)coatings have disadvantages such as high equipment costs,complicated processes,and highly toxic gas emissions.This paper proposes an environmentally friendly method,which requires inexpensive equipment and simple processing,for preparing TiB_(2)coating on molybdenum via electrophoretic deposition within Na3AlF6-based molten salts.The produced TiB_(2)layer had an approximate thickness of 60μm and exhibited high density,outstanding hardness(38.2 GPa)and robust adhesion strength(51 N).Additionally,high-temperature oxidation experiments revealed that,at900℃,the TiB_(2)coating provided effective protection to the molybdenum substrate against oxidation for 3 h.This result indicates that the TiB_(2)coating prepared on molybdenum using molten salt electrophoretic deposition possesses good high-temperature oxidation resistance.

文摘Waterborne acrylic coatings are widely utilized due to their cost-effectiveness,high transparency,strong resistance to weather and chemicals,impressive mechanical properties,and excellent adhesion to various substrates.In these coatings,a reactive emulsifier containing phosphate groups can be integrated into the molecular chain during polymerization,which enhances the coating's compactness and corrosion resistance.This work focuses on the synthesis of styrene-butyl acrylate(St-BA)latex and methyl methacrylate-butyl acrylate(MMA-BA)latex using the reactive phosphate emulsifier ANPEO_(10)-P_(1) through seed emulsion polymerization,achieving a conversion rate of approximately 99%and a solid content close to 50%.The resulting coatings from St-BA and MMA-BA latexes demonstrated long-term corrosion protection for carbon steel and aluminum alloy due to in-situ phosphatization,effectively preventing flash rust.Notably,the MMA-BA coating exhibited remarkable durability,enduring immersion for up to 1224 h(51 d)on Q 235 carbon steel before reaching the failure threshold(|Z|0.01 Hz£106Ω·cm^(2))on Q 235 carbon steel.On 5052 aluminum alloy,the St-BA coating maintained|Z|0.01 Hz>10^(8)Ω·cm^(2) for 480 h(20 d).Furthermore,the corrosion resistance of St-BA and MMA BA coatings on Q 235 steel sheet and 5052 aluminum alloy surpassed that of commercially available MMA-BA and St BA coatings after immersion in a 3.5 wt%NaCl aqueous solution.This work also delves into the anticorrosion mechanism of MMA-BA and St-BA coatings.

文摘Solid lubricating coatings play a crucial role in preventing friction and wear failure of the hot-end sliding components in aviation engines.In this study,VAlN/Ag multi-layer coatings with excellent interfacial matching were fabricated using a hybrid magnetron sputtering technique.The type and energy of discharge plasmas were analyzed to comprehend their effects on depositing coatings.The coatings exhibit self-adaptive lubrication properties during the designed consecutive friction with stepwise heating from 25℃to 650℃.The microstructure evolution during early friction facilitates sufficient tribo-chemical reaction at 650℃,leading to the formation of a distinctive"ball-on-rail"structure that significantly reduces friction coefficient.Based on the first-principles calculations,it was found that the bond energy of Ag-O is lower than that of V-O in both AgVO_(3)and Ag_(3)VO_(4),which promotes slipping along the(110)crystal plane and contributes to exceptional tribological properties.The fatigue wear failure mechanism of hard coatings under the thermal-force coupling effects has been elucidated,alongside an exploration of consecutive tribology mechanism at atomic scales over a wide temperature range.

文摘This article deals with designing a broadband and high efficiency metal multi-layer dielectric grating （MMDG） used to compress and stretch an ultrashort laser pulse. The diffraction characteristics of the IVIMDG are analysed by using the rigorous coupled-wave method. The multi-layer dielectric used as the reflective mirror is made up of non- quarter-wave coatings. Taking the diffraction efficiency of the -1 order as the value of merit function, the parameters such as groove depth, residual thickness, duty cycle, and reflective mirror are optimized to obtain broadband and high diffraction efficiency. The optimized MMDG shows an ultra-broadband working spectrum with the average efficiency exceeding 97% over 160 nm wavelength centred at 1053 nm and TE polarization. The optimized MMDG should be useful for chirped pulse amplification.
文摘Pd-Ni coating shows good corrosion resistance in strong corrosion environments.However,in complex aggressiveenvironments,the performance of the coatings is limited and further improvement is necessary.The effects of the applied platingcurrent density on the composition,structure and properties of Pd-Ni coatings were studied.By changing the current density in thesame bath,multi-layer Pd-Ni coatings were prepared on316L stainless steel.Scanning electronic microscopy,weight loss tests,adhesion strength,porosity and electrochemical methods were used to study the corrosion resistance of the films prepared bydifferent coating methods.Compared with the single layer Pd-Ni coating,the multi-layer coatings showed higher microhardness,lower internal stress,lower porosity and higher adhesive strength.The multi-layer Pd-Ni coating showed obviously better corrosionresistance in hot sulfuric acid solution containing Cl-.
