添加纳米Y2O3的ODS-HT9钢的显微结构和性能

为了研究纳米Y₂O₃对HT9钢的显微结构和力学性能的影响，采用粉末冶金工艺，制备了纳米Y₂O₃含量为0.1%~0.9%的ODS-HT9钢样品，测定了样品的抗拉强度、伸长率、维氏硬度等力学性能，利用透射电子显微镜（TEM）观察和分析了样品中纳米Y₂O₃颗粒的分布状况、形状和相结构，利用扫描电子显镜（SEM）观察了样品拉伸断口的形貌。研究表明，球磨和热压烧结后，纳米Y₂O₃颗粒能够均匀地分布于基体中，相结构和形状未发生明显变化。弥散分布的纳米Y₂O₃硬质颗粒，具有明显的弥散强化作用，导致ODS-HT9钢的抗拉强度和维氏硬度随Y₂O₃含量的增加而显著增加，伸长率显著降低。Y₂O₃含量低于0.7%时，样品以韧性断裂为主，进一步增加含量，断裂方式将由韧性断裂转变成脆性断裂。纳米Y₂O₃含量为0.3%~0.5%的ODS-HT9钢，抗拉强度达到了913~936 MPa，伸长率为10.7%~11.2%，具有良好的综合力学性能。本文研究结果有助于ODS-HT9钢高温性能的研究及其在反应堆中的实际应用。

Homogeneous and Universal Detection of Various Targets with a Dual-Step Transduced Toehold Switch Sensor

Toehold switch sensors represent a class of new advances that allow specific targets to trigger in situ expression of a protein reporter. Although they offer unique advantages of a label-free nature and high portability, they generally require repeated sequence design, high expenditure, and laborious optimization of toehold switch sequences according to different targets. To simplify the sensing process further and to improve its practicability, we innovatively introduce a dual-step pre-transduction upon traditional toehold switch sensor. Through two successive toehold-mediated strand-displacement reactions that are initiated, respectively, by a linear and an associative trigger, different DNAs, RNAs, or ligands of functional nucleic acids can be generally transduced into the input of one high-performance toehold switch sensor. This advance greatly increases the target range. Furthermore, the whole process is signal-on, homogeneous, and free of any requirements for complicated operations such as probe labeling, separation, and reconstruction of the toehold switch, being promising and practical even in portable or point-of-care assays.     

Effects of Different Short-Term UV-B Radiation Intensities on Metabolic Characteristics of Porphyra haitanensis

The effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, particularly UV-B on algae, have become an important issue as human-caused depletion of the protecting ozone layer has been reported. In this study, the effects of different short-term UV-B radiation on the growth, physiology, and metabolism of Porphyra haitanensis were examined. The growth of P. haitanensis decreased, and the bleaching phenomenon occurred in the thalli. The contents of total amino acids, soluble sugar, total protein, and mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) increased under different UV-B radiation intensities. The metabolic profiles of P. haitanensis differed between the control and UV-B radiation-treated groups. Most of the differential metabolites in P. haitanensis were significantly upregulated under UV-B exposure. Short-term enhanced UV-B irradiation significantly affected amino acid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, glutathione metabolism, and phenylpropane biosynthesis. The contents of phenylalanine, tyrosine, threonine, and serine were increased, suggesting that amino acid metabolism can promote the synthesis of UV-absorbing substances (such as phenols and MAAs) by providing precursor substances. The contents of sucrose, D-glucose-6-phosphate, and beta-D-fructose-6-phosphate were increased, suggesting that carbohydrate metabolism contributes to maintain energy supply for metabolic activity in response to UV-B exposure. Meanwhile, dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) was also significantly upregulated, denoting effective activation of the antioxidant system. To some extent, these results provide metabolic insights into the adaptive response mechanism of P. haitanensis to short-term enhanced UV-B radiation.     

Heterogeneous Bimetallic Mo-NiPx/NiSy as a Highly Efficient Electrocatalyst for Robust Overall Water Splitting

Highly efficient electrocatalysts composed of earth-abundant elements are desired for water-splitting to produce clean and renewable chemical fuel. Herein, a heteroatomic-doped multi-phase Mo-doped nickel phosphide/nickel sulfide (Mo-NiP_x/NiS_y) nanowire electrocatalyst is designed by a successive phosphorization and sulfuration method for boosting overall water splitting (both oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions (HER)) in alkaline solution. As expected, the Mo-NiP_x/NiS_y electrode possesses low overpotentials both at low and high current densities in HER, while the Mo-NiP_x/NiS_y heterostructure exhibits high active performance with ultra-low overpotentials of 137, 182, and 250 mV at the current density of 10, 100, and 400 mA cm⁻² in 1 m KOH solution, respectively, in oxygen evolution reaction. In particular, the as-prepared Mo-NiP_x/NiS_y electrodes exhibit remarkable full water splitting performance at both low and high current densities of 10, 100, and 400 mA cm⁻² with 1.42, 1.70, and 2.36 V, respectively, which is comparable to commercial electrolysis.     

Sandwiched structure of hot-deformed Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets processed by Nd-Cu eutectic alloys diffusion

A series of sandwiched structures with different near-surface mass fractions x(x=3 wt%,4 wt%,5 wt%)was employed to develop high-coercivity hot-deformed Nd-Fe-B magnets by the addition of 2 wt%Nd-Cu eutectic alloys via adjusting the middle thickness and near-surface thickness.The designed magnet with a pronounced composite structure shows a 23% increase in coercivity with a 6% loss of remanence by adjusting the sandwiched structure at 4 wt% Nd-Cu eutectic alloys in the near-surface regions.The results indicate that the near-surface Nd-Cu-rich "shell" structure can effectively suppress the magnetization reversal of overall magnets,enhancing the coercivity.With the help of loading stress,Nd-Cu liquid enriched at the near-surface regions of the sample is infiltrated into the Nd-Cu-lean middle region,resulting in a concentration gradient.Microstructure characterizations further demonstrate that the infiltrated Nd-Cu eutectic plays a critical role in inhibiting grain growth and intergranular magnetic interaction.The optimized microstructure features suppress the reversed magnetization process,which makes a positive contribution to coercivity.     

Pressure-induced transparency of MgO,Al2O3, AlN,and cBN ceramics at room temperature

The in situ axial X-ray diffraction patterns of four ceramic powder samples (MgO, Al₂O₃, AlN, and cBN) that were compressed in a diamond anvil cell under uniaxial non-hydrostatic conditions were recorded. The microscopic deviatoric stress as a function of the pressure was determined from the X-ray diffraction peak broadening analysis: the curves increased approximately linearly with the pressure at the initial compression stage and then levelled off under further compression. Pressure-induced transparency was observed in all of the samples under compression, and the pressure at the turning point on the curves of the microscopic deviatoric stress versus pressure corresponded to the pressure at which the samples became transparent. Analysis of the microstructural features of the pressure-induced transparent samples indicated that the compression caused the grains to fracture, and the broken grains bonded with each other. We demonstrated that the ceramics’ pressure-induced transparency was a process during which the grains were squeezed and broken, the pores were close between the grains, and the broken grains were re-bonded under compression.     

Oxidation and ablation behaviour of multiphase ultra-high-temperature ceramic Ta0·5Zr0·5B2–Si–SiC protective coating for graphite

To provide reliable oxidation protection for carbon materials under harsh high-temperature aerobic environments, a dense monolayer-multiphase ultra-high-temperature ceramic Ta_0·5Zr_0·5B₂–Si–SiC (TZSS) coating was fabricated by a combination of dipping and in-situ reaction. The oxidation resistance of the TZSS coating was investigated at 1923 K in air. The results indicated that the TZSS coating could offer at least 70 h of oxidation protection for the matrix material. The synergistic oxygen-blocking effect of the thick oxide layer formed during the oxidation test and the inner coating, played a key role in the oxidation protection process. These were responsible for the excellent oxidation resistance ability of the TZSS coating. Additionally, the ablation performance of the TZSS coating was also investigated under increased heat flux from 2.4 MW/m² to 4.2 MW/m². The ablation behaviours changed from the oxidation and evaporation of coating materials to mechanical scouring, corresponding to increased mass and linear ablation rates. Interestingly, after ablation for 40 s under a heat flux of 4.2 MW/m², a new microstructure composed of “lath-like” Ta₄Zr₁₁O₃₂ solid solution grains was found in the ablation center. This oxide layer possessed few micropores, which could provide reliable protection for the matrix material under ultra-high-temperature oxygen-containing airflow erosion, thus preventing further damage to the composite.
