Influence of Annealing Process on Soft Magnetic Properties of Fe-B-C-Si-P Amorphous Alloys.

It is well known that the annealing process plays a key role in tuning the properties of Fe-based amorphous soft magnetic alloys. However, the optimal annealing process for a particular amorphous alloy is often difficult to determine. Here, FeBCSiP and FeBCSiP amorphous alloys (denoted as Fe and Fe) were prepared to systematically study the effects of the annealing temperature and time on the soft magnetic properties.

Directional vapor transported and water-proof nanofibrous membranes for liquid desiccant dehumidification systems.

The membrane-based liquid desiccant dehumidification system is a newly developed method in the field of air dehumidification. In this study, double-layer nanofibrous membranes (DLNMs) with directional vapor transport and water repellency for liquid dehumidification were fabricated by a simple electrospinning process. Specifically, the combination of thermoplastic polyurethane nanofibrous membrane and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofibrous membrane forms a cone-like structure in DLNMs, resulting in directional vapor transportation.

A green strategy to recycle the waste PP melt-blown materials: From 2D to 3D construction.

The demand for polypropylene (PP) melt-blown materials has dramatically increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It has caused serious environmental problems because of the lack of effective treatment for the waste PP melt-blown materials. In this study, we propose a green and sustainable recycling method to create PP sponges from waste PP melt-blown material for oil spill cleaning by freeze-drying and thermal treatment techniques.

Porous composite architecture bestows Fe-based glassy alloy with high and ultra-durable degradation activity in decomposing azo dye.

Since the treatment of wastewater containing azo dye presents problems worldwide, it is important to seek effective materials and technology for the purification of wastewater containing azo dye. Fe-based metallic glasses have been identified as promising materials for the decomposition of dyeing wastewater due to their high chemical activity resulting from their amorphous structure. It is imperative to further improve their degradation performance, and especially their durability, for potential application in wastewater purification.
