Using NO as a universal reaction gas, a new strategy was proposed for the highly sensitive interference-free simultaneous determination of nonmetallic impurity elements in high-purity magnesium (Mg) alloys by ICP-MS/MS. In the MS/MS mode, through O-atom and N-atom transfer reactions, Si and P were converted to the oxide ions SiO and PO, respectively, while S and Cl were converted to the nitride ions SN and NCl, respectively. The ion pairs formed via the Si → SiO, P → PO, S → SN, and Cl → NCl reactions by the mass shift method could eliminate spectral interferences.

Mg(TFSI) was dissolved in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME), and 13 metal impurity elements were directly determined. Since N has a lower O atom affinity (1.

Nanosized CuCo S /Cu S composites have been synthesized for the first time by a facile solvothermal method. Herein, the magnesium ion storage behavior when applied in the cathode for RMBs is discussed.

To promote its application, systematic investigation on the corrosion performance and corrosion residual strength of HPDC AM50+1Ce and AM60 was carried out. The corrosion of HPDC AM50+1Ce was more uniform, while the pitting corrosion of AM60 was more severe, and the mechanical properties of HPDC AM60 was more sensitive to corrosion.

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), and tension tests were carried out to investigate the microstructures and mechanical properties. As-cast Mg-Al-Sn-Mn alloys have an obvious dendritic structure that is composed of α-Mg, MgAl, and Mg₂Sn phases.

A hydrophobic coating was fabricated on the surface of magnesium alloy using a simple one-step hydrothermal method with the use of environmentally friendly agent. Scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and contact angle test were used to characterize the surfaces. Corrosion behavior in a 3.
