Length-scale-dependent stress relief mechanisms in indium at high homologous temperatures.

Nanoindentation and electron microscopy have been used to examine the length-scale-dependent stress relaxation mechanisms in well-annealed, high-purity indium at a homologous temperature of 0.69. The experimental methods, analysis, and observations serve as a stepping stone in identifying the stress relaxation mechanisms enabling the formation and growth of metallic dendrites originating at the buried interface between a metallic anode and a solid electrolyte separator.

Synthesis of alginate/carbon nanotube/carbon dot/fluoroapatite/TiO beads for dye photocatalytic degradation under ultraviolet light.

Fewer toxic and cost-effective catalysts such as organic-inorganic polymer composites are highly necessary for the water purification. This work describes the sono-assisted fabrication of photocatalyst including multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon dots (Cdots), magnesium fluorohydroxyapatite (FA), and TiO nanoparticles (NPs) (CNT/Cdot/FA/TiO) for methylene blue (MB) degradation in the water solution. This hybrid was employed for the reinforcement of crosslinked alginate (CAlg) and fabrication of CAlg/CNT/Cdot/FA/TiO composite.
