Formation of nickel sulfide nanoframes from metal-organic frameworks with enhanced pseudocapacitive and electrocatalytic properties by Yu, Xin-Yao, Yu, Le, Wu, Hao Bin, Lou, David Xiong Wen

“…However, metal sulfides with frame-like nanostructures have been rarely reported. Starting from metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), we demonstrate a novel structure-induced anisotropic chemical etching/anion exchange method to transform Ni-Co Prussian blue analogue (PBA) nanocubes into NiS nanoframes with tunable size. …”

Low temperature sintered cordierite ceramics from MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 glass powder by Xiao, Zhuohao, Dong, Xiaofeng, Li, Xiuying, Luo, Wenyan, Liang, Huayin, Kong, Ling Bing

“…The effects of sintering temperature on phase composition and microstructure of the ceramics were elaborated, while the relationships among sintering temperature, CTE, mechanical strength and density were comprehensively discussed. It has been shown that the MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 glass powder can be well sintered into cordierite ceramics at temperatures in the range of 1050-1150°C, which are much lower than the commonly reported sintering temperatures that are over 1400°C. …”

Novel fiber bragg grating sensing method based on the sidelobe modulation for ultrasound detection by Liang, Sheng, Tjin, Swee Chuan, Lin, Bo, Sheng, Xinzhi, Lou, Shuqin, Zhang, Yongxin, Wang, Xin

“…In order to find out an effective sensing method, in this case, a novel sidelobe modulation has been proposed and investigated. When grating length is much longer than the ultrasonic wavelength, the Bragg wavelength is not shifted; however, the reflectivity of sidelobe is modulated by ultrasound, periodically, which can be utilized as an effective ultrasound sensing method. …”
