Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals
The AlCoCrFeMo0.05Ni2 high entropy alloy (HEA) can remarkably enhance its ductility through high-temperature annealing. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism remains under explored. Herein, we utilized molecular dynamics simulations (MD) to calculate the generalized stacking fault energy (GSFE) curves and uniaxial tensile behavior. Notably, the twin inclination of the FCC phase increases significantly after annealing. During plastic deformation, the FCC phase in the annealed alloy exhibits a substantially higher formation of twinning and stacking faults compared to the as-cast alloy. This increased twin inclination after annealing is the fundamental mechanism contributing to the enhancement of high-temperature ductility.

In this research, we have developed a colorimetric paper-based sensing platform for the determination of mercury ion (Hg2+) using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). To evaluate the selectivity in the response to a special target, urea is used as recognizing ligands on AuNPs for selective sensing Hg2+. Colorimetric readings in the presence of various environmentally relevant metal ions, such as Na+, K+, Zn2+, Pb2+, and Hg2+, were also studied. The results show that amongst all the tested metal ions, the SPR peaks are located at 525 nm except in the case of the present of Hg2+, in which is red shifted to …

The exponential growth in the requirement of fuel cells and batteries leads to increased demand for cobalt due to its common use in high-performance Li-ion batteries and high-temperature fuel cells/electrolyzers. This sharp increment in demand raises concern about the availability of limited reserves of cobalt which can impact the price of cobalt. Moreover, the geographic limitations of cobalt resources may endanger the whole supply chain. In addition to all those, huge moral issues of cobalt mining are also another problem. Hence, leading battery, fuel cells and electrolyzer manufacturers are looking for sustainable alternatives to reduce cobalt dependency. A more specific …
