Local-flexural interactive buckling of S690 high strength steel slender welded I-section columns: testing, modelling and design by Sun, Yao, Liang, Yating, Su, Andi, Zhao, Ou

“…A testing programme, adopting two S690 high strength steel slender welded I-sections, was firstly conducted and included initial geometric imperfection measurements and ten pin-ended column tests. The testing programme was accompanied by a numerical modelling programme, where finite element models were developed and validated against the test results and then employed to perform parametric studies to generate further numerical data over a wide range of cross-section dimensions and member effective lengths. …”

Metal nanoparticles supported on a nonconductive oxide undergo pH-dependent spontaneous polarization by Wesley, Thejas S, Hülsey, Max J, Westendorff, Karl S, Lewis, Noah B, Crumlin, Ethan J, Román-Leshkov, Yuriy, Surendranath, Yogesh

“…Electrochemical polarization, which often plays a critical role in driving chemical reactions at solid–liquid interfaces, can arise spontaneously through the exchange of ions and/or electrons across the interface. However, the extent to which such spontaneous polarization prevails at nonconductive interfaces remains unclear because such materials preclude measuring and controlling the degree of interfacial polarization via standard (i.e., wired) potentiometric methods. …”

Electric field induced associations in the double layer of salt-in-ionic-liquid electrolytes by Markiewitz, Daniel M, Goodwin, Zachary AH, McEldrew, Michael, Pedro de Souza, J, Zhang, Xuhui, Espinosa-Marzal, Rosa M, Bazant, Martin Z

“…Here, we develop a theory for the electrical double layer (EDL) of SiILs where we consistently account for the thermoreversible association of ions into Cayley tree aggregates. The theory predicts that the IL cations first populate the EDL at negative voltages, as they are not strongly bound to the anions. …”

Generating new cross‐relaxation pathways by coating prussian blue on NaNdF4 to fabricate enhanced photothermal agents by Yu, Zhongzheng, Hu, Wenbo, Zhao, Hui, Miao, Xiaofei, Guan, Yan, Cai, Weizheng, Zeng, Zhiping, Fan, Quli, Tan, Timothy Thatt Yang

“…Herein, we coated Prussian blue (PB) on NaNdF4 nanoparticles to fabricate core-shell nanocomplexes with new cross relaxation pathways between the ladder-like energy levels of Nd3+ ions and continuous energy band of PB. The photothermal conversion efficiency was improved exceptionally and the mechanism of the enhanced photothermal effect was investigated. …”

Modified Ni-carbonate interfaces for enhanced CO₂ methanation activity: tuned reaction pathway and reconstructed surface carbonates by Shen, Xuqiang, Wang, Zizhou, Wang, Qiaojuan, Tumurbaatar, Chantsalmaa, Bold, Tungalagtamir, Liu, Wen, Dai, Yihu, Tang, Yongming, Yang, Yanhui

“…A Ni/Zr-La2O2CO3 catalyst with interfaces between Ni metal and Zr-modified carbonate support was used for atmospheric CO2 methanation reaction, exhibiting 81% conversion and 99.6% CH4 selectivity at 300 °C. The Zr4+ ions incorporated in La2O2CO3 lattices properly strengthened the Ni-carbonate interaction for enhancing the Ni dispersion and hydrogen activation ability of the catalyst. …”
