FeCo/Si is a promising material combination for polarized neutron supermirrors because of its appropriate optical constants. Five FeCo/Si multilayers with monotonically increasing FeCo layer thicknesses were fabricated. Grazing incidence x-ray reflectometry and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy were performed to characterize the interdiffusion and asymmetry of the interfaces. Selected area electron diffraction was used to determine the crystalline states of FeCo layers. It was found that the asymmetric interface diffusion layers existed in FeCo/Si multilayers. Furthermore, the FeCo layer started the transition from amorphous to crystalline when the thickness of the FeCo layer reached 4.0 nm.

In this study, a petal-like ternary metal-layered double hydroxide (FeCoLa-LDH) was synthesized through a facile one-step hydrothermal method and in situ grown on carbon felt (CF). The FeCoLa-LDH/CF composite electrode was applied in a heterogeneous electro-Fenton (HEF) system for the degradation of moxifloxacin hydrochloride (MOX). Characterization revealed that La-doped FeCo-LDH/CF exhibited petal-like layered structure rather than particle's structure, with higher surface defect degree and an increased electroactive surface area (ESA) compared to FeCo-LDH/CF.

Low molecular weight organic acids stabilise siderite against oxidation and influence the composition of iron (oxyhydr)oxide oxidation products.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study investigates how low molecular weight organic acids (LMWOAs) affect the oxidation of siderite in controlled experiments, comparing results with and without these acids.
  • * Findings show that while pure siderite oxidizes rapidly, the presence of LMWOAs can preserve a significant amount, suggesting that a protective layer forms on the siderite surface to slow down its oxidation.

Catalytic methane decomposition (CMD) reaction is considered a promising process for converting greenhouse gas CH into hydrogen and high-value-added carbon materials. In this work, a series of AlO-supported FeCo alloy catalysts were successfully prepared in the CMD process. Compared to the pre-reduced catalysts, the in situ reduced FeCo alloy catalysts showed higher methane conversion rates, with the highest reaching 83% at 700 °C, due to the finer active nanoparticle size and greater exposure of active site.

To improve the efficiency of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) while minimizing energy consumption and costs, we propose a novel design strategy. Oatmeal, an abundant and inexpensive feedstock rich in carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and oxygen (O), serves as an ideal precursor for biochar synthesis. By utilizing N-doped carbon spheres (NCS) as carriers, we achieved uniform growth of ZIF-67 on their surface through polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) activation.

In this work, FeCo-Se and NiCo-PO were electrodeposited on nickel foam (NF) successively to prepare a cathode material for asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs) and NiCo//Bi batteries. FeCo-Se@NiCo-PO combines the advantages of transition metal selenides (TMSs) and transition metal phosphates (TMPs). FeCo-Se electrodeposited in the underlying layer can facilitate electron transfer for higher conductivity.
