Published: December 2014

The flow simulation for GaxIn1-xSb and Si melts was conducted for quasi-steady conditions. The maximum velocity was under the solid-liquid interface near periphery of the crystals. An introduction of ultrasound into the liquid formed a standing wave channel under the solid-liquid interface, which acted on melt particles. The calculations of convective and ultrasonic forces acting on the particles in the melt showed that the ultrasonic force is much higher than the convective force.

In this study, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were employed to compare the effects of different solidification conditions on the solidification behaviour, stress distribution, and degree of crystallization of iron. The results indicate significant differences in nucleation and microstructural evolution between the two solidification methods. In the homogeneous temperature field, the solidification of iron is characterized by instantaneous nucleation.

Deciphering pH Mismatching at the Electrified Electrode-Electrolyte Interface towards Understanding Intrinsic Water Molecule Oxidation Kinetics.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

January 2025

Research Center for Energy and Environmental Materials, National Institute for Materials Science, 1-1 Namiki, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, 305-0044, Japan.

Unveiling the key influencing factors towards electrode/electrolyte interface control is a long-standing challenge for a better understanding of microscopic electrode kinetics, which is indispensable to building up guiding principles for designer electrocatalysts with desirable functionality. Herein, we exemplify the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) via water molecule oxidation with the iridium dioxide electrocatalyst and uncovered the significant mismatching effect of pH between local electrode surface and bulk electrolyte: the intrinsic OER activity under acidic or near-neutral condition was deciphered to be identical by adjusting this pH mismatching. This result indicates that the local pH effect at the electrified solid-liquid interface plays the main role in the "fake" OER performance.

Conventional solid/liquid electrochemical interfaces typically encounter challenges with impeded mass transport for poor electrochemical quantification due to the intricate pathways of reactants from the bulk solution. To address this issue, this work reports an innovative approach integrating a target-activated DNA framework nanomachine with electrochemically driven metal-organic framework (MOF) conversion for self-sacrificial biosensing. The presence of the target biomarker serotonin initiates the DNA framework nanomachine by an entropy-driven circuit to form a cross-linked nanostructure and subsequently release the Fe-MOF probe.

Significant progress has been achieved with diversity of short peptide supramolecular assemblies. However, their programmable phase modulation by single stimulus remains a great challenge. Herein, we demonstrate a dipeptide supramolecular system undergoes sequentially coupled phase transitions upon hydrogen bonding association and dissociation triggered by a single fatty acid.

Copper catastrophic oxidation: Theory and mechanisms.

J Chem Phys

December 2024

Baikov Institute of Metallurgy and Materials Science, Russian Academy of Sciences, 49 Leninsky Pr., 119334 Moscow, Russian Federation.

Copper and its alloys with transition metals (as good conductors of electricity and heat) are extensively used in electrical industry, electronics, and cooling systems and can be the subject of surface degradation by oxidation. In certain circumstances, surface degradation of copper occurs catastrophically. Predicting catastrophic oxidation kinetics and developing protective technology require understanding the mass transfer mechanisms in the solid/liquid/gas composite scale formed on the copper surface during catastrophic degradation.
