One of the promising solutions is to prepare synthetic bone substitute materials with precise structural control, mechanical compatibility, and enhanced osteogenic induction performance, nevertheless the successful preparation of such materials remains difficult. In this study, a two-step technique,integrating an extrusion-based printing process with biomimetic mineralization induced by alkaline phosphatase(ALP), was developed. Initially,a pre-cured hydrogel of regenerated silk fibroin(RSF) with a small quantity of hydroxypropyl cellulose(HPC) and ALP was prepared through heating the mixed aqueous solution. This pre-cured hydrogel demonstrated thixotropic property and could be directly extruded into predetermined structures through a 3D-printer. Subsequently, the 3D-printed RSF-based materials with ALP underwent biomimetic in situ mineralization in calcium glycerophosphate(Ca-GP) mineralizing solution, utilizing the polymer chains of RSF as templates and ALP as a trigger for cleaving phosphate bonds of Ca-GP. The resulting 3D-printed RSF-mineral composites including hydrogel and sponge possessed adjustable compression modulus of megapascal grade and variable hydroxyapatite content, which could be controlled by manipulating the duration of the mineralization process.Moreover, these 3D-printed RSF-mineral composites demonstrated non-cytotoxicity towards rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Therefore, they may hold great potential for applications involving the replacement of tissues characterized by osteoinductivity and intricate structures.展开更多

However, its practical application faces two critical challenges: the complex and energy-intensive process of separat-ing mixed reduction products and the economic viability of the carbon sources (reactants) used. To tackle these challenges simultaneously, solid-state electrolyte (SSE) reactors are emerging as a promising solution. In this review, we focus on the feasibility of applying SSE for tandem electrochemical CO_(2) capture and conversion. The configurations and fundamental principles of SSE reactors are first discussed, followed by an introduction to its applications in these two specific areas, along with case studies on the implementation of tandem electrolysis. In comparison to conventional H-type cell, flow cell and membrane electrode assembly cell reactors, SSE reactors incorporate gas diffusion electrodes and utilize a solid electro-lyte layer positioned between an anion exchange membrane (AEM) and a cation exchange membrane (CEM). A key inno-vation of this design is the sandwiched SSE layer, which enhances efficient ion transport and facilitates continuous product extraction through a stream of deionized water or humidified nitrogen, effectively separating ion conduction from product collection. During electrolysis, driven by an electric field and concentration gradient, electrochemically generated ions (e.g., HCOO- and CH3COO-) migrate through the AEM into the SSE layer, while protons produced from water oxidation at the anode traverse the CEM into the central chamber to maintain charge balance. Targeted products like HCOOH can form in the middle layer through ionic recombination and are efficiently carried away by the flowing medium through the porous SSE layer, in the absence of electrolyte salt impurities. As CO_(2)RR can generate a series of liquid products, advancements in catalyst discovery over the past several years have facilitated the industrial application of SSE for more efficient chemicals production. Also noteworthy, the cathode reduction reaction can readily consume protons from water, creating a highly al-kaline local environment. SSE reactors are thereby employed to capture acidic CO_(2), forming CO_(3)^(2-) from various gas sources including flue gases. Driven by the electric field, the formed CO_(3)^(2-) can traverse through the AEM and react with protons originating from the anode, thereby regenerating CO_(2). This CO_(2) can then be collected and utilized as a low-cost feedstock for downstream CO_(2) electrolysis. Based on this principle, several cell configurations have been proposed to enhance CO_(2) capture from diverse gas sources. Through the collaboration of two SSE units, tandem electrochemical CO_(2) capture and con-version has been successfully implemented. Finally, we offer insights into the future development of SSE reactors for prac-tical applications aimed at achieving carbon neutrality. We recommend that greater attention be focused on specific aspects, including the fundamental physicochemical properties of the SSE layer, the electrochemical engineering perspective related to ion and species fluxes and selectivity, and the systematic pairing of consecutive CO_(2) capture and conversion units. These efforts aim to further enhance the practical application of SSE reactors within the broader electrochemistry community.展开更多

The anti-corrosion behaviour of epoxy coatings containing GO and rGO nanosheets was investigated. FESEM-EDS, FT-IR, and Raman spectroscopy were used to examine the microstructure and chemical composition of the nanosheets and epoxy coatings. EIS experiment was used to explore the corrosion behaviour of the coatings. The O/C ratio for GO and rGO-SLE was found to be 2.5 and 4.5, indicating a decrease in the carbon content after the reduction of GO, confirming the adsorption of SLE onto the GO nanosheets. The successful reduction of GO in the presence of SLE particles was confirmed by disappearing the C=O peak and a significant decrease in the C-O-C bond intensity. The epoxy/rGO- SLE coatings exhibited the highest double-layer thickness and excellent corrosion resistance compared to neat epoxy and epoxy/GO coatings, emphasizing the significant role of rGO in enhancing the protective performance of epoxy coatings. The highest values for total charge transfer and film resistances and the inhibition efficiency were observed to be 6529 Ω·cm^(2) and 90%, respectively, for the epoxy/rGO-SLE coated steel plate. It was also found that the epoxy/0.15 wt.% rGO-SLE coating demonstrates the best corrosion resistance performance.展开更多

文摘Critical-sized bone defects, commonly encountered in clinical orthopedic surgery, present a significant challenge. One of the promising solutions is to prepare synthetic bone substitute materials with precise structural control, mechanical compatibility, and enhanced osteogenic induction performance, nevertheless the successful preparation of such materials remains difficult. In this study, a two-step technique,integrating an extrusion-based printing process with biomimetic mineralization induced by alkaline phosphatase(ALP), was developed. Initially,a pre-cured hydrogel of regenerated silk fibroin(RSF) with a small quantity of hydroxypropyl cellulose(HPC) and ALP was prepared through heating the mixed aqueous solution. This pre-cured hydrogel demonstrated thixotropic property and could be directly extruded into predetermined structures through a 3D-printer. Subsequently, the 3D-printed RSF-based materials with ALP underwent biomimetic in situ mineralization in calcium glycerophosphate(Ca-GP) mineralizing solution, utilizing the polymer chains of RSF as templates and ALP as a trigger for cleaving phosphate bonds of Ca-GP. The resulting 3D-printed RSF-mineral composites including hydrogel and sponge possessed adjustable compression modulus of megapascal grade and variable hydroxyapatite content, which could be controlled by manipulating the duration of the mineralization process.Moreover, these 3D-printed RSF-mineral composites demonstrated non-cytotoxicity towards rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Therefore, they may hold great potential for applications involving the replacement of tissues characterized by osteoinductivity and intricate structures.

文摘The variation law of inclusions type and size in the vacuum induction melting process and ingot of Ni-based superalloy containing 70%return material was studied by industrial test sampling,and the mechanism of inclusions formation was analyzed with thermodynamic calculations.The results show that there are mainly two types of composite inclusions in the vacuum induction melting of Ni-based superalloys,which are nitride-and oxide-based composite inclusions,like Al_(2)O_(3)-SiO_(2)-Cr_(2)O_(3),TiN-(Mo,Nb)C,etc.The type and proportion of inclusions from the center to the edge of the vacuum induction ingot did not change significantly.The number density of inclusions from the center to the edge of the ingot varied less,and the size of inclusions became smaller from the center to the edge.In addition,thermodynamic calculations show that oxides(M_(2)O_(3))are present in the liquid phase and mainly contain Al,Ti,Cr,Fe and O elements.The nitride consists mainly of Ti and N and contains small amounts of Cr,C,Nb,and Mo elements.This is consistent with the results of industrial tests.As the temperature decreases,the precipitation phases such as M_(2)O_(3),MN,γ,MC,δ,γ'andμphases are gradually precipitated,where oxides and nitrides are present in the liquid phase.The contents of O and N elements are the main influencing factors for the inclusions content and precipitation temperature;when the nitrogen content is reduced to below 0.0015%,it can make MN precipitate below the liquid-phase line.

文摘Introducing B2 ordering can effectively improve the mechanical properties of lightweight refractory high-entropy alloys(LRHEAs).However,(Zr,Al)-enriched B2 precipitates generally reduce the ductility because their ordering characteristic is destroyed after dislocation shearing.Meanwhile,the local chemical order(LCO)cannot provide an adequate strengthening effect due to its small size.

文摘Rectangular explosive charges are usually used in military or civilian explosive transportation and storage.The effects of shape parameters and detonation positions on the peak overpressure and maximum impulse of blasts lack comprehensive investigation,which is significant for the design of blast-resistant structures.In this paper,the side-length ratio of the rectangle,orientation,and detonation position of the charge are chosen as controlling parameters to investigate their influence on blast loads in the scaled distances of the gauges ranging from 0.63 to 10.54 m/kg^(1/3) with well validated 3D numerical simulations.The results show that there is a large difference in the near-field spatial distribution of the blast load of the rectangular charge;if the blast load of the rectangular charge is simply evaluated with the spherical charge,the maximum peak overpressure(maximum impulse)will be underestimated by a factor of 7.46(4.84).This must be taken seriously by blast-resistant structure designers.With the increase in the scaled distance,when the critical scaled distance is greater than 6.32(7.38)m/kg^(1/3),the influence of the charge shape on the maximum peak overpressure(maximum impulse)of the spatial blast load can be ignored.In general,the impact of detonation of the charge at the end on the maximum peak overpressure is greater compared with central detonation,but for the impact of the maximum impulse,it is necessary to pay attention to the side-length ratio of the rectangular charge and the specific detonation position on the end face.Furthermore,the structural response of steel plates placed at different azimuths under the blast load of a rectangular charge is preliminarily analyzed,and the results show that the deformation and energy of the plates are consistent with the distribution of the blast load.These analysis results provide a reference for the explosion protection design in near-field air explosions.

文摘Biomass conversion offers an efficient approach to alleviate the energy and environmental issues.Electrochemical oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(HMF)has attracted tremendous attention in the latest few years for the mild synthesis conditions and high conversion efficiency to obtain 2,5-furan dicarboxylic acid(FDCA),but there still remain problems such as limited yield,short cycle life,and ambiguous reaction mechanism.Despite many reviews highlighting a variety of electrocatalysts for electrochemical oxidation of HMF,a detailed discussion of the structural modulation of catalyst and the underlying catalytic mechanism is still lacking.We herein provide a comprehensive summary of the recent development of electrochemical oxidation of HMF to FDCA,particularly focusing on the mechanism studies as well as the advanced strategies developed to regulate the structure and optimize the performance of the electrocatalysts,including heterointerface construction,defect engineering,single-atom engineering,and in situ reconstruction.Experimental characterization techniques and theoretical calculation methods for mechanism and active site studies are elaborated,and challenges and future directions of electrochemical oxidation of HMF are also prospected.This review will provide guidance for designing advanced catalysts and deepening the understanding of the reaction mechanism beneath electrochemical oxidation of HMF to FDCA.
文摘A theoretical analysis on the perforation of Weldox 460E steel plates struck by flat-nosed projectiles is presented using a previously developed model within a unified framework.This model contains a dimensionless empirical equation to describe the variation of energy absorbed through global deformation as a function of impact velocity.The study further investigates the energy absorption mechanisms of Weldox 460E steel plates,with particular focus on the“plateau”phenomenon,i.e.,limited increase in ballistic limit with increasing plate thickness.This phenomenon is explained and compared with results from previously studied 2024-T351 aluminium plates.The model predictions agree well with experimental data for Weldox 460E steel plates impacted by flat-nosed projectiles,including:relationship between global deformation and impact velocity,ballistic limit,residual velocity,and critical conditions for the transition of failure modes.Moreover,the model effectively predicts the“plateau”phenomenon observed in intermediate plate thickness range.It is also found that the indentation absorption energy contributes a significantly larger fraction of the total absorption energy in Weldox 460E steel plates perforated by flat-nosed projectiles than in 2024-T351 aluminium plates,due to the differences in material properties.

文摘The catalytic oxidation of HMF involves a cascading reaction with multiple intermediate products,making it crucial to enhance the oriented adsorption capacity of specific functional groups for accelerating the entire process.To achieve the efficient selective oxidation of HMF to FDCA,a series of NiCo_(2)O_(4)catalysts with different morphologies,such as flaky,echinoids,pompon and corolla,were prepared and characterized by XRD,SEM,TEM,BET,XPS,and FTIR.Among the four catalysts,flaky NiCo_(2)O_(4)exhibited the most excellent catalytic activity and stability,with a FDCA yield of 60.1%within 12 h at 80℃without alkali participation.The excellent performance of flaky NiCo_(2)O_(4)catalyst is attributed to the oxygen vacancies and acid sites generated by the exposed(400)facets.The oxygen vacancies and acid sites on the catalyst surface can precisely adsorb-CHO and-CH_(2)-OH of HMF,respectively,and this synergistic effect promotes the efficient production of FDCA.This work is of great significance for fundamentally study the effect of micro-topography or crystal-plane reaction properties on surfaces.

文摘Electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction is a promising technology for addressing global energy and environmental crises. However, its practical application faces two critical challenges: the complex and energy-intensive process of separat-ing mixed reduction products and the economic viability of the carbon sources (reactants) used. To tackle these challenges simultaneously, solid-state electrolyte (SSE) reactors are emerging as a promising solution. In this review, we focus on the feasibility of applying SSE for tandem electrochemical CO_(2) capture and conversion. The configurations and fundamental principles of SSE reactors are first discussed, followed by an introduction to its applications in these two specific areas, along with case studies on the implementation of tandem electrolysis. In comparison to conventional H-type cell, flow cell and membrane electrode assembly cell reactors, SSE reactors incorporate gas diffusion electrodes and utilize a solid electro-lyte layer positioned between an anion exchange membrane (AEM) and a cation exchange membrane (CEM). A key inno-vation of this design is the sandwiched SSE layer, which enhances efficient ion transport and facilitates continuous product extraction through a stream of deionized water or humidified nitrogen, effectively separating ion conduction from product collection. During electrolysis, driven by an electric field and concentration gradient, electrochemically generated ions (e.g., HCOO- and CH3COO-) migrate through the AEM into the SSE layer, while protons produced from water oxidation at the anode traverse the CEM into the central chamber to maintain charge balance. Targeted products like HCOOH can form in the middle layer through ionic recombination and are efficiently carried away by the flowing medium through the porous SSE layer, in the absence of electrolyte salt impurities. As CO_(2)RR can generate a series of liquid products, advancements in catalyst discovery over the past several years have facilitated the industrial application of SSE for more efficient chemicals production. Also noteworthy, the cathode reduction reaction can readily consume protons from water, creating a highly al-kaline local environment. SSE reactors are thereby employed to capture acidic CO_(2), forming CO_(3)^(2-) from various gas sources including flue gases. Driven by the electric field, the formed CO_(3)^(2-) can traverse through the AEM and react with protons originating from the anode, thereby regenerating CO_(2). This CO_(2) can then be collected and utilized as a low-cost feedstock for downstream CO_(2) electrolysis. Based on this principle, several cell configurations have been proposed to enhance CO_(2) capture from diverse gas sources. Through the collaboration of two SSE units, tandem electrochemical CO_(2) capture and con-version has been successfully implemented. Finally, we offer insights into the future development of SSE reactors for prac-tical applications aimed at achieving carbon neutrality. We recommend that greater attention be focused on specific aspects, including the fundamental physicochemical properties of the SSE layer, the electrochemical engineering perspective related to ion and species fluxes and selectivity, and the systematic pairing of consecutive CO_(2) capture and conversion units. These efforts aim to further enhance the practical application of SSE reactors within the broader electrochemistry community.

文摘The as-deposited coating-substrate microstructure has been identified to substantially influence the high-cycle fatigue(HCF)behavior of Ni-based single-crystal(SX)superalloys at 900℃,but the impact of degraded microstructure on the HCF behavior remains unclear.In this work,a PtAl-coated third-generation SX superalloy with sheet specimen was thermal-exposed at 1100℃ with different durations and then subjected to HCF tests at 900℃.The influence of microstructural degradation on the HCF life and crack initiation were clarified by analyzing the development of microcracks and coating-substrate microstructure.Notably,the HCF life of the thermal-exposed coated alloy increased abnormally,which was attributed to the transformation of the fatigue crack initiation site from surface mi-crocracks to internal micropores compared to the as-deposited coated alloy.Although the nucleation and growth of surface microcracks occurred along the grain boundaries in the coating and the interdiffusion zone(IDZ)for both the as-deposited and the thermal-exposed coated alloys,remarkable differences of the microcrack growth into the substrate adjacent to the IDZ were observed,changing the crack initiation site.Specifically,the surface microcracks grew into the substrate through the cracking of the non-protective oxide layers in the as-deposited coated alloy.In comparison,the hinderance of the surface microcracks growth was found in the thermal-exposed coated al-loy,due to the formation of a protective Al_(2)O_(3) layer within the microcrack and theγ′rafting in the substrate close to the IDZ.This study will aid in improving the HCF life prediction model for the coated SX superalloys.
文摘Electrochemical reduction of CO_(2)(CO_(2)RR)to form high-energy-density and high-value-added multicarbon products has attracted much attention.Selective reduction of CO_(2)to C^(2+)products face the problems of low reaction rate,complex mechanism and low selectivity.Currently,except for a few examples,copper-based catalysts are the only option capable of achieving efficient generation of C^(2+)products.However,the continuous dynamic reconstruction of the catalyst causes great difficulty in understanding the structure-performance relationship of CO_(2)RR.In this review,we first discuss the mechanism of C^(2+)product generation.The structural factors promoting C^(2+)product generation are outlined,and the dynamic evolution of these structural factors is discussed.Furthermore,the effects of electrolyte and electrolysis conditions are reviewed in a vision of dynamic surface.Finally,further exploration of the reconstruction mechanism of Cu-based catalysts and the application of emerging robotic AI chemists are discussed.

文摘In this work,we aim to develop a novel post-treatment process combining cryogenic and pulsed electric field treatment to enhance WC-Co cemented carbides.The results show a 15.62%increase in hardness from 1831.38 to 2117.38 HV30,a 9.60%rise in fracture toughness from 9.06 to 9.93 MPa·m^(1/2),while the friction coefficient decreases from 0.63 to 0.47.Through the residual stress evolution,WC orientation change and the martensitic transformation of Co,and the internal enhancement mechanism of cryogenic combined with pulsed electric field treatment are revealed.The electron wind generated by the pulsed electric field can efficiently reduce the residual stress induced by cryogenic process.The evolution of residual stress promotes the base slip of WC,increasing the degree of{0001}orientation.In addition,the degree of martensitic transformation of Co intensifies,with the hcp-Co/fcc-Co ratio rising from 0.41%to 17.86%.The enhanced WC{0001}orientation and increased hcp-Co content contribute to significant improvements in hardness and wear resistance.This work provides a novel efficient enhancement strategy for ceramics and alloys,with the potential to be a mainstream strengthening method in the future.
文摘Graphene oxide (GO) reduced by Stachys lavandulifolia extract (SLE) was produced and characterised. The anti-corrosion behaviour of epoxy coatings containing GO and rGO nanosheets was investigated. FESEM-EDS, FT-IR, and Raman spectroscopy were used to examine the microstructure and chemical composition of the nanosheets and epoxy coatings. EIS experiment was used to explore the corrosion behaviour of the coatings. The O/C ratio for GO and rGO-SLE was found to be 2.5 and 4.5, indicating a decrease in the carbon content after the reduction of GO, confirming the adsorption of SLE onto the GO nanosheets. The successful reduction of GO in the presence of SLE particles was confirmed by disappearing the C=O peak and a significant decrease in the C-O-C bond intensity. The epoxy/rGO- SLE coatings exhibited the highest double-layer thickness and excellent corrosion resistance compared to neat epoxy and epoxy/GO coatings, emphasizing the significant role of rGO in enhancing the protective performance of epoxy coatings. The highest values for total charge transfer and film resistances and the inhibition efficiency were observed to be 6529 Ω·cm^(2) and 90%, respectively, for the epoxy/rGO-SLE coated steel plate. It was also found that the epoxy/0.15 wt.% rGO-SLE coating demonstrates the best corrosion resistance performance.
文摘It has been experimentally observed that,in the perforation of metal plates by a flat-nosed projectile,there exists a plateau phenomenon where the ballistic limit increases slightly with increasing plate thickness,which is related to a change in the mode of failure.No theoretical model has so far explained this phenomenon satisfactorily.This paper presents a combined numerical and theoretical study on the perforation of 2024-T351 aluminum plates struck by flat-nosed projectiles.First,numerical simulations are performed to investigate the failure mechanisms/deformation modes of the aluminum plates.Then,a theoretical model is proposed based on the numerical results and the experimental observations within a unified framework.The model takes into account the main energy absorbing mechanisms and the corresponding energies absorbed are determined analytically.In particular,a dimensionless equation is suggested to describe the relationship between global deformations and impact velocity.It transpires that the model predictions are in good agreement with the test data and the numerical results for the perforation of 2024-T351 aluminum plates struck by rigid flat-nosed projectiles in terms of residual velocity,ballistic limit,relationship between global deformations and impact velocity,and transition of failure modes.It also transpires that the present model can predict the“plateau”phenomenon,which shows a slight increase in ballistic limit as plate thickness increases.Furthermore,the energy absorption mechanisms are discussed on the basis of the theoretical analysis.

文摘Gas-liquid interfacial films have emerged as versatile materials for surface modification in biomedical applications,agriculture,and antifouling owing to their strong substrate-bonding capabilities.Silk nanofibrils(SNF),as nanoscale building blocks of silk,exhibit exceptional mechanical stability,high crystallinity,and aqueous adaptability,making them ideal candidates for fabricating interfacial films.However,conventional fabrication methods for SNF-or protein-based interfacial films often involve complex and resource-intensive chemical processes.To overcome these challenges,this study introduces a simple and efficient strategy for preparing thermally induced SNF gas-liquid interfacial films via heat treatment,leveraging thermal evaporation-induced concentration to drive self-assembly.The method demonstrated broad applicability to various proteins and hydrophilic substrates,offering versatility and sustainability.Furthermore,the prepared films exhibited potential as antifouling and anti-counterfeiting functional coatings,significantly expanding the application scenarios of protein-based interfacial films.
