Through isothermal hot compression experiments at various strain rates and temperatures, the thermal deformation behavior of Zn-2.0Cu-0.15Ti alloy is investigated. The Arrhenius-type model is utilized to forecast flow stress behavior. Results show that the Arrhenius-type model accurately reflects the flow behavior in the entire processing region. The dynamic material model (DMM) reveals that the optimal processing region for the hot processing of Zn-2.0Cu-0.15Ti alloy has a maximum efficiency of about 35%, in the temperatures range (493-543 K) and a strain rate range (0.01-0.1 s). Microstructure analysis demonstrates that the primary dynamic softening mechanism of Zn-2.0Cu-0.15Ti alloy after hot compression is significantly influenced by temperature and strain rate. At low temperature (423 K) and low strain rate (0.1 s), the interaction of dislocations is the primary mechanism for the softening Zn-2.0Cu-0.15Ti alloys. At a strain rate of 1 s, the primary mechanism changes to continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX). Discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX) occurs when Zn-2.0Cu-0.15Ti alloy is deformed under the conditions of 523 K/0.1 s, while twinning dynamic recrystallization (TDRX) and CDRX are observed when the strain rate is 10 s.

This study examines the intricate area of refractory-based high entropy alloys (RHEAs), focusing on a series of complex compositions involving nine diverse refractory elements: Ti, V, Cr, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf, Ta, and W. We investigate the phase stability, bonding interactions, electronic structures, lattice distortions, mechanical, and thermal properties of six RHEAs with varying elemental ratios using VASP and OLCAO DFT calculations. Through comprehensive analysis, we investigate the impact of elemental variations on the electronic structure, interacting bond dynamics, lattice distortion, thermodynamic, mechanical, and thermal properties within these RHEAs, providing an insight into how these specific elemental variations in composition give rise to changes in the calculated properties in ways that would guide future experimental and computational efforts.

The application of antimicrobial surfaces requires proof of their effectivity by methods in laboratories. One of the most common test methods is ISO 22196:2011, which represents a simple and inexpensive protocol by applying the bacterial suspension with known volume and concentration covered under a polyethylene film on the surfaces. The incubation is then conducted under defined humidity conditions for 24 h.

The hydrogenation of bicarbonate, a byproduct of CO captured in alkaline solutions, into formic acid (FA) using glycerol (GLY) as a hydrogen source offers a promising carbon-negative strategy for reducing CO emissions. While Pd-based catalysts are effective in this reaction, they often require high temperatures, leading to low FA yield due to strong hydrogen adsorption on Pd surfaces. In this work, metal-organic framework derived N-doped carbon encapsulated CoNi alloy nanoparticles (CoNi@NC) were prepared, acid-leached, and employed as a support to modulate the electronic structure of Pd-based catalysts.

The sluggish redox kinetics of polysulfides and the resulting shuttle effect remain significant challenges for the practical utilization of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. To address the unidirectional catalytic limitations of conventional electrocatalysts, we herein report a binary metal (CoNi) alloy embedded in a carbon matrix on carbon nanofibers (CoNi@C-CNFs) as a highly efficient electrocatalyst to accelerate bidirectional polysulfide conversions. Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) reveals a significantly improved catalytic effect of the CoNi alloy toward polysulfide conversions after introducing the Ni component.

Rechargeable Zn-air batteries (RZABs) are poised for industrial application, yet they require low-cost, high-performance catalysts that efficiently facilitate both the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The pivotal challenge lies in designing multimetal active sites and optimizing the carbon skeleton structure to modulate catalyst activity. In this study, we introduce a novel hierarchical porous carbon-supported FeCoNi bifunctional catalyst, synthesized via a spray combustion method.
