Advanced 3D ordered electrodes for PEMFC applications: From structural features and fabrication methods to the controllable design of catalyst layers

The catalyst layers(CLs) electrode is the key component of the membrane electrode assembly(MEA) in proton exchange membrane fuel cells(PEMFCs). Conventional electrodes for PEMFCs are composed of carbon-supported, ionomer, and Pt nanoparticles, all immersed together and sprayed with a micron-level thickness of CLs. They have a performance trade-off where increasing the Pt loading leads to higher performance of abundant triple-phase boundary areas but increases the electrode cost. Major challenges must be overcome before realizing its wide commercialization. Literature research revealed that it is impossible to achieve performance and durability targets with only high-performance catalysts, so the controllable design of CLs architecture in MEAs for PEMFCs must now be the top priority to meet industry goals. From this perspective, a 3D ordered electrode circumvents this issue with a support-free architecture and ultrathin thickness while reducing noble metal Pt loadings. Herein, we discuss the motivation in-depth and summarize the necessary CLs structural features for designing ultralow Pt loading electrodes. Critical issues that remain in progress for 3D ordered CLs must be studied and characterized. Furthermore, approaches for 3D ordered CLs architecture electrode development, involving material design, structure optimization, preparation technology, and characterization techniques, are summarized and are expected to be next-generation CLs for PEMFCs. Finally, the review concludes with perspectives on possible research directions of CL architecture to address the significant challenges in the future.

Studies on the structure and catalytic performance of Cu-Zn-Al catalyst prepared by liquid-phase preparation technology under different heat treatment atmosphere

Cu-Zn-Al slurry catalysts were prepared using a complete liquid-phase preparation technology under different heat treatment atmospheres.The catalysts were characterized using X-ray diffraction,X-ray photoelectron spectroscope,and N2 adsorption-desorption.Their application in the single-step synthesis of dimethyl ether from syngas was also investigated.The results indicate that the type of heat treatment atmosphere has an influence on the Cu species and the Cu0/Cu＋ ratio on the catalyst surface.Moreover,the final Cu/Zn ratio on the catalyst surface is mainly dependent on the composition and reaction environment of the catalyst and less on the type of heat treatment atmosphere.The prepared catalysts can suppress sintering of active sites at high temperatures,and the type of heat treatment atmosphere mainly affects the capability of the catalyst for methanol synthesis.The catalysts perform best using N2 as the heat treatment atmosphere.

[Conclusions] The optimal preparation process of hydroxypropyl tetrahydropyrantriol liposomes selected by orthogonal experiment could effectively improve the encapsulation efficiency of hydroxypropyl tetrahydropyranotriol and reduce particle size. Moreover, the method was stable and reliable.

Refractory high-entropy alloys:A focused review of preparation methods and properties

In recent years,high-entropy alloys(HEAs)have become prominent metallic materials due to their unique design strategies and excellent mechanical properties.The HEAs-inherent high-entropy,lattice-distortion,sluggish-diffusion,and cocktail effects make HEAs maintain high strength,oxidation resistance,corrosion resistance,wear resistance,and other excellent comprehensive properties,showing stronger competitiveness relative to traditional alloys.Refractory high-entropy alloys(RHEAs)are considered as a new kind of high-temperature materials with great application prospects due to their excellent mechanical properties and have the potential to replace nickel-based superalloy as the next generation of high-temperature materials.We reviewed the research status and preparation methods of RHEAs in recent years,including the metallurgical smelting,powder metallurgy,magnetron sputtering,and additive manufacturing technologies.The microstructure and phase-transformation process of RHEAs were analyzed.The mechan-ical properties and main strengthening and toughening mechanisms of RHEAs,such as solid-solution strengthening,precipitation strengthening,and the transformation-induced plasticity(TRIP),were discussed,and the deformation mechanism of RHEAs was revealed.The properties of RHEAs,including high strength,oxidation resistance,corrosion and wear resistance were reviewed.RHEAs will meet the huge market demand in the engineering materials field,but there are still many challenges,such as the tradeoff between high strength and high ductility,structural design,and performance optimization of RHEAs with brittle BCC structures.We believe that this combination of knowledge may shape the future of RHEAs and break through the mutually exclusive conundrum of high strength and high toughness for RHEAs.

Full-solution-processed high mobility zinc-tin-oxide thin-film-transistors

The full solution-processed oxide thin-film-transistors(TFTs) have the advantages of transparency, ease of large-area fabrication, and low cost, offering great potential applications in switching and driving fields, and attracting extensive research interest. However, the performance of the solution-processed TFTs is generally lower than that of the vacuum-deposited ones. In this article, the full-solution processed TFTs with zinc-tin-oxide(ZTO) semiconductor and aluminium(Al_2O_3) dielectrics were fabricated, and their mobilities in the saturation region are high. Besides, the effect of the Al_2O_3 dielectrics' preparation technology on ZTO TFTs' performance was studied. Comparing the ZTO TFTs using the spin-coated Al_2O_3 dielectrics of 1–4 layers, the ZTO TFT with 3-layer Al_2O_3 dielectrics achieved the optimal performance as its field-effect carrier mobility in the saturation region is 112 cm^2/V s, its threshold voltage is 2.4 V, and its on-to-off current ratio is 2.8×105. This is also the highest reported carrier mobility of the solution-processed ZTO TFTs.

Research progress of p-type Fe-based skutterudite thermoelectric materials

Filled skutterudite is currently one of the most promising intermediate-temperature thermoelectric(TE)materials,having good thermoelectric transport performance and excellent mechanical properties.For the preparation of high-efficiency filled skutterudite TE devices,it is important to have p-and n-type filled skutterudite TE materials with matching performance.However,the current TE properties of p-type Fe-based filled skutterudite materials are worse than n-type filled skutterudite materials.Therefore,how to obtain high-performance p-type Fe-based filled skutterudite materials is the key to preparation of high-efficiency skutterudite-based TE devices.This review summarizes some methods for optimizing the thermal transport performance of p-type filled skutterudite materials at the atomic-molecular and nano-mesoscopic scale that have been used in recent years.These methods include doping,multi-atom filling,and use of low-dimensional structure and of nanocomposite.In addition,the synergistic optimization methods of the electrical and thermal transport parameters and advanced preparation technologies of p-type filled skutterudite materials in recent years are also briefly summarized.These optimizational methods and advanced preparation technologies can significantly improve the TE properties of p-type Fe-based filled skutterudite materials.
