The capability of synthesizing Fe-based antiferromagnetic metal alloys would fuel the use of electrodeposition in the design of new magnetic devices such as high-aspect-ratio spin valves or new nanostructured hard magnetic composites. Here we report the synthesis of high quality antiferromagnetic FeMn alloys electrodeposited from chloride-based electrolytes. We have found that in order to grow homogeneous FeMn films it is necessary to incorporate a large concentration of NH4Cl as an additive in the electrolyte. The study of the structure and magnetic properties shows that films with composition close to Fe50Mn50 are homogeneous antiferromagnetic alloys. We have established a parameter window for the synthesis of FeMn alloys that show antiferromagnetism at room temperature.

Mineral-rich hardgrounds, such as ferromanganese (FeMn) crusts and phosphorites, occur on seamounts and continental margins, gaining attention for their resource potential due to their enrichment in valuable metals in some regions. This study focuses on the Southern California Borderland (SCB), an area characterized by uneven and heterogeneous topography featuring FeMn crusts, phosphorites, basalt, and sedimentary rocks that occur at varying depths and are exposed to a range of oxygen concentrations. Due to its heterogeneity, this region serves as an optimal setting for investigating the relationship between mineral-rich hardgrounds and benthic fauna.

Silicon-air batteries (SABs) have become promising candidates for energy conversion and storage devices due to their high theoretical energy density, cost-effectiveness, and inherent safety. However, the slow kinetics of the 4e transfer in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at the cathode during discharge, coupled with severe polarization, reduces the battery's capacity and hinders the development of silicon-air batteries. The cathodes of currently developed SABs primarily rely on commercial Pt/C and MnO, with limited research on low-cost, efficient, and stable air cathodes for SABs.

A high Fe content easily produces Fe-rich phases with a harmful morphology, resulting in a huge detrimental effect on the properties and recycling ability of Al-Si alloys. Therefore, finding ways to effectively transform Fe-rich phases to form a beneficial phase or shape is of great significance. Accordingly, Al-Si-based alloys with Fe contents ranging from 0.
