Refractory high-entropy alloy(RHEA) usually exhibits a high melting point and hence a very high deformation resistance at high temperatures. However, the relatively poor plasticity at room temperature, i.e., only few RHEAs displaying as-cast tensile ductility, strongly limits the applications of RHEAs as engineering materials. In this work, we show a huge tensile ductility observed in an as-cast TiVNbTa RHEA(~40 % fracture elongation)accompanying with a high yield strength(~800 MPa), which are rarely reported properties for RHEAs. The ascast alloy shows a simple body-centered cubic(BCC) structure with dendrites. Ductile fracture with many dimples is the main fracture mechanism, while no twinning and deformation induced phase transition was observed. The uniform plastic deformation mainly relies on the planar and cross-slip of dislocations. The present result suggests the huge ductility potentials for RHEAs, providing a clue for designs future high performance RHEAs with good ductility.

The energy density of batteries can be increased by using high-load cathode material matched with sodium (Na) metal anode. However, the large polarization of the battery under such harsh conditions will promote the growth of Na dendrites and side reactions. Carbon materials are regarded as ideal modify layers on Na metal anode to regulate the Na+ plating/stripping behavior and inhibit the Na dendrites and side reactions due to their light weight, high stability and structural adjustability. However, commonly used carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers cannot enable these modified Na metal anodes to operate stably in full batteries with a high-load cathode (>15 mg·cm^(−2)). The most fundamental reason is that abundant polar functional groups on the surface bring serious side reactions and agglomerations lead to uneven Na+ flow. Here, a proof-of-concept study lies on fabrications of carbon nanospheres with small amount of polar functional groups and sodiophobic components on the surface of Na metal anode, which significantly enhances the uniformity of the Na+ plating/stripping. The assembled symmetric battery can cycle stability for 1300 h at 3 mA·cm^(−2)/3 mAh·cm^(−2). The full battery with high-load Na3V2(PO4)3 (30 mg·cm^(−2)) maintains a Coulombic efficiency of 99.7% after 100 cycles.

Erlotinib is an orally administered, highly effective, specific epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, used to treat non-small cell lung cancer and pancreatic cancer. The traditional synthetic methods for Erlotinib exhibit long reaction time and safety concern. Herein, we describe a novel five-step route for the synthesis of Erlotinib in flow. These five steps comprise etherification, nitration, reduction,addition and cyclization reactions. All steps were optimized and converted to continuous flow process,which drastically reduces the reaction time and considerably improves the process safety as well as the total yield. Enabled by five continuous flow units, Erlotinib is efficiently afforded with an E-factor of 38,an overall yield of 83%, and a total residence time of 25.1 min. Majority steps in this process have been optimized for quantitative conversion, which offers the possibility of telescoping the entire process.
