Due to the poor chemical stability of CeO-based materials, doped CeO electrolytes are generally used as a stabilized ZrO protection layer/doped CeO electrolyte bilayer structure. Since the ionic conductivity of stabilized ZrO materials is lower than that of doped CeO materials, the thickness of the ZrO protective layer needs to be optimized. Thus, in this study, nano-porous anodic aluminum oxide template based scandia stabilized zirconia (ScSZ)/gadolinia doped ceria (GDC) bilayer electrolyte low temperature solid oxide fuel cells (LT-SOFCs) are successfully fabricated and investigated. The optimized thickness of the ScSZ protection layer is revealed by physical and electrochemical characterizations to maximize the performance of LT-SOFCs. The 160 nm ScSZ/400 nm GDC bilayer electrolyte LT-SOFC achieves a maximum power density of 252 mW · cm and an open circuit voltage of 1.02 V OCV at 450 °C.

Metal and polymer interface bonding significantly influences the mechanical performance of fiber metal laminates (FMLs). Therefore, the effect of surface treatments (mechanical abrasion, nitric acid etching, P2 etching, sulfuric acid anodizing (SAA), and electric discharge machine (EDM) texturing) carried on aluminum 2024-T3 alloy sheets was evaluated considering surface morphology, surface topography, and surface roughness. Further, the influence of surface treatments on interfacial adhesion strength and failure mode between the aluminum alloy and carbon fiber prepreg was investigated.

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific hypertensive syndrome recognized as the leading cause of maternal and fetal morbidity worldwide. Early diagnosis is crucial for mitigating its adverse effects, and recent investigations have identified endoglin as a potential biomarker for this purpose. Here, we present the development of a hybrid biosensor platform for the ultrasensitive detection of endoglin, aimed at enabling the early diagnosis of preeclampsia.

Inorganic halide perovskite thin-film X-ray detectors have attracted great research interest in recent years due to their high sensitivity, low detection limit, and facile fabrication process. The poor crystal quality of the thin film with uncontrollable thickness and low background voltage during detection limits its practical application. Here, a high-quality CsPbBrI ( = 0, 1) columnar crystal film is prepared by an improved melt-confined method with a porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template, which stabilizes the disorder perovskite systems of CsPbBrI by stress.

High global demand for nickel metal has contributed significantly to the growth of the nickel mining industry in Indonesia. This growth has a positive multiplier effect on the economy, with the potential to affect aquatic life and humans owing to the high levels of chromium, nickel, and iron in mine water. Therefore, this study aims to develop an electrocoagulation (EC) reactor to remove nickel, chromium, and iron from mine water.
