Blockchain technology enables secure information and value exchange in untrusted environments by integrating cryptographic techniques such as public-private key cryptography, hash algorithms, and consensus mechanisms. It is poised to become a foundational technology for the future Internet of Value. However, the security of current mainstream blockchains relies on asymmetric encryption algorithms that are vulnerable to quantum attacks, as their security depends on the computational difficulty of solving number-theoretic problems like integer factorization anddiscrete logarithms in classical computing models. This paper investigates quantum-resistant blockchain technologies to address these vulnerabilities. First, it analyzes the susceptibility of existing blockchain systems to quantum attacks at multiple levels, including signature algorithms, TLS layerdata exchange, consensus mechanisms, and privacy protection. Second, it provides a comprehensive comparison of promising quantum-resistant signature andkey encapsulation algorithms, evaluating their characteristics and performance in terms of resource utilization, key size, and other critical metrics. Building on this analysis, the paper proposes a general framework for measuring performance indicators of quantum-resistant blockchains and suggests optimization methods to enhance system performance, focusing on aspects such as block size and consensus mechanisms. Additionally, a multidimensional comparative analysis of existing quantum-resistant blockchain solutions is presented. This work highlights the challenges in achieving quantum resistance for blockchain systems and offers valuable insights and guidance forresearchers designing quantum-resistant blockchain solutions and optimizing their performance.

dissimilar metals have exceptional development prospects in many fields due to their unique properties. However, the formation of brittle intermetallic compounds (IMCs) in dissimilar metals significantly reduces the bonding strength and causes interface cracking. In this study, a novel solid solution design concept is proposed to solve the problem. And ultrahigh bonding strength of TC4 titanium alloy/316L stainless steel dissimilar metal is achieved through additive manufacturing, with a CrCuV solid solution alloy interlayer. By utilizing the high-entropy effect, continuous solid solutions are formed and the brittle IMCs layer is completely inhibited at the heterogeneous interface. The excellent metallurgical bonding of TC4/316L dissimilar metal results in an unprecedented shear strength of 345 MPa. This strategy successfully breaks through the bottleneck of bonding strength in dissimilar metals, greatly promotes the development and application of dissimilar metals.

Metal-organic layers(MOLs), a type of new-emerging two-dimensional ultrathin metal-organic framework materials with large surface areas and highly exposed active sites, have shown promising applications in photocatalytic CO_(2) reduction. However, due to a lack of photosensitivity and photooxidation capability, photosensitizers and sacrificial reductants are usually necessary for MOLs-based photocatalytic CO_(2) reduction systems. In this article, by integration of MOLs and quantum dots(Qds), we constructed MOLs-based catalysts with multi-functions of photosensitivity, photoreduction and photooxidation, which thus can serve as photocatalysts for CO_(2) reduction with H_(2)O as an electron donor. Specifically, by an electrostatic self-assembly approach,nickel(Ⅱ)-based MOLs(Ni-MOLs) and CsPbBr_(3)Qds have been assembled, constructing valid Ⅱ-Scheme Ni-MOLs/CsPbBr_(3) heterojunctions with close Ni-MOLs/CsPbBr_(3)heterointerface. Such a close heterointerface shortens the charge transferdistance,thus effectively boosting the charge separation and transfer. As a result, upon illumination by visible light(λ ≥ 400 nm,100 m W cm^(-2)), the optimized photocatalyst shows high efficiency and stability in photochemical CO_(2) reduction in the absence of any photosensitizers and sacrificial reductants. The CO yieldreaches as high as 124 μmol g^(-1)in 4 h, over 6 times higher than that achieved by CsPbBr_(3). Additionally, the selectivity reaches 100%. This work provides a new way to construct MOL-based catalysts for artificial photosynthesis.
