Deformation-Induced Large Ductility of Super Saturated Solid Solution Fe-Cu Alloy

The mechanical properties of super saturated solid solution Fe60Cu40 alloy has been investigated using compression test. The results show that the grain precipitation and phase transformation occurs during compressive deformation resulting in large work-hardening ability, high strength and large ductility. Our results demonstrate that this novel architecture offers a design pathway towards a new generation of strong materials with large ductility.

Electrochemical Behavior of Nanocrystalline Fe₈₈Si₁₂Alloy in 3.5% NaCl Solution

Influence of microstructure on electrochemical behavior of nanocrystalline Fe88Si12 alloy has been investigated in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. The results show that FFe88Si12 alloy with optimal corrosion resistance is composite of ordered Fe3Si and disordered Fe(Si) phases and grain size of 40 nm. Because the ordered Fe3Si structure is beneficial to form SiO2 film, which possesses good corrosion resistance compared with the Fe2O3 film from disordered Fe(Si). Moreover, although the decreased grain size is conducive to form preservative, as the grain size decreases to 10 nm, the grain boundary increases to above 30 vol%, which is the active sites for corrosion attack.

具有共价键特征的金属-有机基团促进高性能钾离子电池

钾离子电池(PIBs)面临的一个关键问题是设计具有先进结构的负极材料,以实现快速电荷传输以提高钾的存储性能.采用碳二亚胺铁(FeNCN)作为阳极,由于其含有一定数量的共价键且在分子水平上具有稳定的结构,使得储钾系统能够实现优异的电化学性能.FeNCN阳极具有高导电性,带隙接近0 eV,并且由于其共价键结构具有良好的结构稳定性.此外,无定形反应产物也为离子扩散提供了多种途径.因此,FeNCN阳极表现出高可逆比容量(在50 mA g^(-1)电流密度下具有600 mA h g^(-1)比容量),显著的倍率性能和长寿命循环(电流密度为500 mA g^(-1)时拥有400 mA h g^(-1)比容量且超过300次循环).通过理论模拟、X射线原位衍射分析和X射线光电子能谱分析揭示了Fe^(2+)和K^(+)之间的转化反应机理.此外,将FeNCN负极与苝-3,4,9,10-四羧酸二酐正极材料匹配,组装成的全电池在198.6 Wkg^(-1)的功率密度下实现了184.7 W h kg^(-1)的超高能量密度,明显高于以往所有铁基负极的PIBs或钾离子混合电容器.
