Innovative nanocomposites consisting of [(GeTe)(4 nm/)c-1 nm](10) multilayers (MLs) deposited by magnetron sputtering are integrated in phase-change memory (PcM) test devices with a "wall structure." Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) shows that an ML structure, with crystallized GeTe layers, is kept after integration in as-fabricated devices and also after an additional annealing of the devices at 425 degrees c. The programming current (RESET current) required to reach the high resistance state of [(GeTe)(4 nm)/c-1 nm](10) ML devices decreases by 45% after annealing at 425 degrees c. The reduction in RESET current is 55% and the reduction in drift coefficient is about 40% in ML devices annealed at 425 degrees ccompared to similar devices incorporating Ge2Sb2Te5. STEM imaging, coupled with nano-beam electron diffraction and electron energy loss spectroscopy, of ML devices in the high resistance state shows that the RESET current reduction after annealing is correlated to a reduction of the amorphized volume.

Influence of surface air cooling on the high frequent cyclic ablation of layer-structural c/c-Sic-ZrB2-Zrccomposite was mainly studied. Tests were performed by alternant plasma and surface cooling airflow for 200 cycles under ms-scale single loading. The c/c-Sic-ZrB2-Zrccomposite displayed good ablation resistance. And the ablation rates decreased firstly and then rose up with increasing of the airflow rate from 0 to 4 m3/h, whereas the highest surface temperature presented an inverse relationship. The lowest ablation rates were 0.12 mu m/s and 0.038 mg/s under surface airflow of 2 m3/h. Morphologies and phases of the ablated surface indicated that the low-speed airflow was helpful to the spread out and accumulation of the ablation products whereas the stronger airflow caused surface cracks and fragments of the composite. The intensities of the mechanical erosion under different surface air cooling dominated the high frequent cyclic ablation behavior.

This article, discuss the effect of finishing polyester/cotton blended fabric (PET/c) with alkali and Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) simultaneously. The treatment conditions such as NaOH and TiO2 NPs concentrations, reaction temperature and duration will be investigated. The effect of addition NPs on alkaline treatment conditions will prove through weight loss and carboxyliccontent. The ability of PET/c fabrics for loading with NPs during alkaline treatment was investigated by using SEM, EDX, and FTIR measurements. The effect of finishing of PET/c blended fabric with the suggested method on antimicrobial activity and ultraviolet protection was investigated. The simultaneous finishing of PET/c blended fabrics with alkali and TiO2 NPs showed excellent ultraviolet protection and high antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive (Bacillus mycoides), Gram-negative (Escherichia coli), and nonfilamentous fungus (candida albicans). The functional performance imparted to PET/c fabrics by the suggested approach are durable in repeated laundering processes, even after five Launder-Ometer washes.

In this study, a combined system with simultaneous nitrification, denitrification, and phosphorus removal was operated in continuous low oxygen aeration mode, and the effect of lower oxygen aeration (dissolved oxygen [DO] 0.5-1.5 mg/L) on its performance was examined. The combined system consisted of sludge and high-efficiency biological packing and was operated using four carbon/nitrogen ratios (c/N) with being 10:1, 8:1, 6:1, 10:1. Experimental results showed that the combined system could perform an efficient nitrogen and phosphorus removal under low DO and c/N ratio of 8:1 condition, and removal efficiencies of chemical oxygen demand (cOD), NH4 (+)-N, and PO4 (3-)-P were 80.01%, 99.03%, and 89.51%, respectively. High-throughput analysis indicated that the functional species of denitrifying bacteria, including Ferruginibacter Azospira, comamonas, Bacilli, Hyphomicrobium, Thauera, and comamonadaceae, were important participants in biological nutrient removal. Meanwhile, Acinetobacter was enriched in the combined system, which contributed to phosphorus removal. Practitioner Points A combined system was operated firstly under continuous low oxygen condition. The lower dissolved oxygen (DO) of the combined system was maintained at 0.50-1.5 mg/L level. The combined system could realize simultaneous phosphorus and nitrogen removal under c/N ratio of 8:1. Several functional bacteria were enriched in the coupled systems.

Through a sol-gel method, a honeycomb-like Na3V2(PO4)(3)/ccathode material for sodium-ion batteries was synthesized from a spent electroless nickel plating bath. The obtained Na3V2(PO4)(3)/c exhibited excellent electrochemical properties, with the initial discharge capacity of 108.3 mAh center dot g(-1) at 0.2 c and the capacity retention of 99.3% after 300 cycles, which was comparable to that of powders prepared from chemical reagents. This study will be helpful for the value-adding utilization of the spent electroless nickel plating bath.

In order to prepare convenient recycled photocatalysts and improve their photocatalytic degradation efficiency, TiO2/c/BiOBr graphene aerogel (TcBA) with excellent photocatalytic activity and recyclability is successfully prepared by a combination of electrostatic spinning with solvothermal method. The introduction of graphene aerogel not only increases the specific surface area to obtain more active sites, but also enhances the conductivity of the material and accelerates electron transfer. Under simulated sunlight irradiation, the optimal ratio of TcBA composites (2TcBA-II) has a high degradation rate for cationic dyes, anionic dyes, and antibiotics by the syn-ergistic effect of physisorption and photocatalysis. Radical trapping experiments indicate *** plays a major role in the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants, and we propose an indirect Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalytic system. In addition, the 2TcBA-II composite is applied to modify the lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery separator, and the maximum discharge specificcapacities are 1271 and 854 mAh g-1 at current densities of 0.2 c and 0.5 c, respectively. After 300 cycles, the discharge specificcapacity can be maintained at 530 and 357 mAh g1 formance. It indicates that the conveniently recycled three-dimensional (3D) composite 2TcBA-II can better adsorb polysulfides, and provides multi-dimensional electron transport pathways with accelerated electro-chemical reaction rates, thus enhancing the bidirectional conversion reaction of sulfur. Thus, the TcBA com-posites have important application prospects in both photocatalysis and Li-S batteries.

In this paper, the 12k T-700(TM) Multiaxial-Warp-Knitting-Needle (MWK-N) c/Siccomposite and pin were designed and fabricated using the isothermal chemical vapor infiltration (IcVI) method. The composite's microstructure and mechanical properties were examined by subjection to tensile and interlaminar shear tests. Three types of double-shear tests were conducted for c/Sic pins, including shear loading perpendicularly, along, and at 45 degrees off-axial to the lamination. The fracture surface of the tensile and shear failure specimens was observed under scanning electronic microscope (SEM). The relationships between the composite's microstructure, mechanical properties, and damage mechanisms were established. The composite's average tensile strength was sigma(uts) = 68.3 MPa and the average interlaminar shear strength was tau(u) = 38.7 MPa. For MWK-N-c/Sic pins, the double-shear strength was tau(u) = 76.5 MPa, 99.7 MPa, and 79.6 MPa for test types I, II, and III, respectively. compared with MWK-c/Sic pins, the double-shear strength of MWK-N-c/Sic pins all decreased, i.e., 26.7%, 50.8%, and 8% for test types I, II, and III, respectively. The MWK-N-c/Siccomposite and pins possessed high interlaminar shear strength and double-shear strength, due to the needled fiber in the thickness direction, low porosity (10-15%), and high composite density (2.0 g/cm(3)).

It is crucial to develop efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts toward oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) for practical application. Herein, for the first time, co-based phosphate ((H(2)en)(0.5)coPO4)) as a precursor with unique coO4 tetrahedra and diprotonated ethanediamine template (H(2)en) is simply and rapidly prepared, and the amorphous cobalt phosphate can be obtained via a mild calcination of this host-guest material. Furthermore, the optimal calcined electrocatalyst exhibits a low overpotential of 284 mV at 10 mA cm(-2) toward OER and 0.78 V of half-wave potential for ORR in 1.0 m KOH electrolyte. Furthermore, this bifunctional electrocatalyst as the cathode of zinc-air batteries displays a high-power density of 178 mW cm(-2) and specificcapacitance of 754.5 mAh g(-1), accompanied by good cycling stability (for 50 h of operation). This work offers a new strategy to design heteroatom doping electrocatalysts using this host-guest method under a mild and environmental condition.

Three c-N compounds cmcm c3N2, Pmna-I cN and Pmna-II cN are predicted in this work and their physical properties are systematically investigated by first-principles calculations. Each of the proposed c-N compounds is in orthorhombic symmetry and has superhard characteristics. The phonon dispersion spectra, relative enthalpies, total energy fluctuations and elasticconstants indicate that the proposed three c-N compounds are dynamically, thermodynamically, thermally and mechanically stable at ambient pressure, respectively. The elastic anisotropy properties of cmcm c3N2 as well as Pmna-I cN and Pmna-II cN are examined by illustrating the three-dimensional surface constructions of Young's modulus, shear modulus, and Poisson's ratio. Moreover, the Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof (HSE06) hybrid functional is utilized to depict the electronic band structures of cmcm c3N2, Pmna-I cN and Pmna-II cN, and it is found that cmcm c3N2 and Pmna-II cN are indirect gap semiconductor materials with the bandgaps of 4.13 eV and 2.03 eV, respectively, and Pmna-I cN is a direct bandgap semiconductor with the bandgap of 1.86 eV. In addition, the densities of state of the proposed three c-N compounds are analyzed elaborately, which reveals that the hardness feature of the materials mainly owing to the strong covalent bond between carbon and nitrogen atoms, and the excellent hardness characteristics make them superhard materials with potential technological and industrial applications.

The high temperature oxidation mechanisms of grain refined Fe-25Al-1.5Ta (at%) with Tac or (Ta,Nb)c additives were investigated at 700 ? in air for 503 h to study the influence of microstructural changes on the oxidation behaviour. While a thin and stable alpha-Al2O3 scale was formed at the Fe-Al matrix, additional phases were selectively oxidised leading to higher oxidation kinetics of Fe-25Al-1.5Ta with carbide additives. The selectively oxidised c14 (Fe,Al)2Ta Laves phase showed the formation of outer Fe2O3 and an inner (Al,Ta)-rich oxide, while Al-rich oxides were found along the (Al,Ta)-rich oxide/Fe-Al phase boundary and locally below Fe2O3.
