In this experiment, Q235 and X80 carbon steels, which are widely used in oil and gas pipelines and ancillary facilities, were selected to study the changes in the corrosion behaviour and mechanism of carbon steels in the process of natural saline soil cooling to a freezing state through electrochemical testing. The equivalent circuit model of carbon steel before and after the freezing phase transformation in the soil was determined. Based on the corrosion kinetic parameters and soil thermodynamic changes, the influencing factors of steel corrosion during the cooling process were systematically analysed. It was found that temperature mainly affected carbon steel corrosion by changing the properties of the solution. The main factors affecting the corrosion behaviour of the carbon steel were the thermal motion of molecules, ions, and electrons in solution, oxygen dissolution and diffusion, ion adsorption, diffusion mass transfer, and unfrozen water content change during the cooling process.

Highway guardrails are critical safety infrastructure along roadways, designed to redirect vehicles back into their lanes and facilitate a gradual deceleration to a complete stop. Traditional highway steel guardrails exhibit significant limitations, including inadequate energy absorption, susceptibility to corrosion, and an increased risk of vehicles leaving the roadway during severe collisions. Furthermore, the production and transportation of these guardrails contribute to substantial carbon emissions and environmental pollution.

To promote the recycling of waste glass and satisfy the demands of environmental sustainability for ultrahigh performance concrete (UHPC), in this study, glass sand was employed to partially or entirely replace machine-made sand, and steel fibres were incorporated to fabricate ultrahigh performance shotcrete (UHPS). The effects of glass sand and steel fibres on the mechanical and electrical properties of composite materials were analysed in this study. Furthermore, alkali‒silica reaction (ASR) tests and microstructural analyses were conducted.

Nowadays, it is challenging to achieve SO-tolerant environmental catalysis for NO reduction because of the thermodynamically favorable transformation of reactive sites to inactive sulfate species in the presence of SO. Herein, we achieve enhanced low-temperature SO-tolerant NO reduction by manipulating the dynamic coordination environment of active sites. Engineered by coordination chemistry, SiO-CeO composite oxides with a short-range ordered Ce-O-Si structure were elaborately constructed on a TiO support.

Nanoarchitected materials are at the frontier of metamaterial design and have set the benchmark for mechanical performance in several contemporary applications. However, traditional nanoarchitected designs with conventional topologies exhibit poor stress distributions and induce premature nodal failure. Here, using multi-objective Bayesian optimization and two-photon polymerization, optimized carbon nanolattices with an exceptional specific strength of 2.

Five commercially available cut-resistant gloves were sourced from four different worldwide manufacturers which were advertised to contain graphene. A method was developed to assess the fibers composing each glove, including dissolution of the constituent fibers using sulfuric acid or liquid paraffin at elevated temperature, to extract and analyze particle additives. Scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy was applied to fibers and extracted particles for morphological and elemental analysis; Raman spectroscopy was applied to discern the composition of carbonaceous materials for the ultimate purpose of identifying any graphenic additives.
