Aging kinetics of 14H-LPSO precipitates in Mg-Zn-Y alloy

Alloys with long-period stacking ordered structures(LPSO)have good properties and are highly regarded.Mg-Zn-Y alloy containing LPSO phase was prepared by the traditional casting method,and the aging heat treatment was performed at different temperatures and times.The microstructure and phase constitutions of the alloy were observed by means of optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy methods.Results show the microstructure of as-cast Mg95.5Zn1.5Y3 mainly consists ofα-Mg,W phases and LPSO phases.During the aging treatment,fine lamellar-shaped 14H-LPSO phase is formed at the grain boundaries and precipitates from the supersaturated magnesium matrix,and the volume fraction increases as the aging time increases.By controlling the aging time,Mg-Zn-Y alloys with different volume fractions of 14H-LPSO phase were prepared.The aging kinetics equation of the 14H-LPSO phase is summarized,that is f=1-exp(-0.2705 t 0.6368).The phase transformation mechanism of 14H-LPSO in Mg95.5Zn1.5Y3 alloy can be described as the change of dislocation energy.

Corrosion and chemical behavior of Mg_(97)Zn_(1)Y_(2)-1wt.%SiC under different corrosion solutions

To explore the corrosion properties of magnesium alloys, the chemical behavior of a high strength Mg_(97)Zn_(1)Y_(2)-1 wt.%Si C alloy in different corrosion environments was studied. Three solutions of 0.2 mol·L^(-1) NaCl, Na_(2)SO_(4) and NaNO_(3) were selected as corrosion solutions. The microstructures, corrosion rate, corrosion potential, and mechanism were investigated qualitatively and quantitatively by optical microscopy(OM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), immersion testing experiment, and electrochemical test. Microstructure observation shows that the Mg_(97) Zn_(1)Y_(2)-1 wt.%Si C alloy is composed of α-Mg matrix, LPSO(Mg_(12) ZnY) phase and Si C phase. The hydrogen evolution and electrochemical test results reflect that the Mg_(97)Zn_(1)Y_(2)-1 wt.%SiC in 0.2 mol·L^(-1) Na Cl solution has the fastest corrosion rate, followed by Na_(2)SO_(4) and NaNO_(3) solutions, and that the charge-transfer resistance presents the contrary trend and decreases in turn.

One-shot synthesis of heavy-atom-modified carbazole-fused multi-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence materials

Efficient multi-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence(MR-TADF)materials hold significant potential for applications in organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs)and ultra-high-definition displays.However,the stringent synthesis conditions and low yields typically associated with these materials pose substantial challenges for their practical applications.In this study,we introduce an innovative strategy that involves peripheral modification with sulfur and selenium atoms for two materials,CFDBNS and CFDBNSe.This approach enables a directed one-shot borylation process,achieving synthesis yields of 66%and 25%,respectively,while also enhancing reverse intersystem crossing rates.Both emitters exhibit ultra-narrowband sky-blue emissions centered around 474 nm,with full width at half maximum(FWHM)values as narrow as 19 nm in dilute toluene solutions,along with high photoluminescence quantum yields of 98%and 99%in doped films,respectively.The OLEDs based on CFDBNS and CFDBNSe display sky-blue emissions with peaks at 476 and 477 nm and exceptionally slender FWHM values of 23 nm.Furthermore,the devices demonstrate remarkable performances,achieving maximum external quantum efficiencies of 24.1%and 27.2%.This work presents a novel and straightforward approach for the incorporation of heavy atoms,facilitating the rapid construction of efficient MR-TADF materials for OLEDs.
