Article Abstract

In this paper, a new possibility of fabricating a metal lattice structure with a continuous rod is demonstrated. A multi-layer, periodic, and aperiodic lattice structure can be manufactured with a continuous thin rod by bending it with a repetitive pattern. However, joining their nodes are challenging and an important problem to solve. This paper is investigating the joining of nodes in a loose lattice structure by delivering materials through the dipping process. Both liquid state (epoxy) and solid-state (inorganic particles) joining agents are considered for polymer-metal and metal-metal bonding, respectively. Liquid Carrier Systems (LCS) are designed considering their rheological behavior. We found 40% solid loading with the liquid carrier system provides sufficient solid particles transfer at dipping and join the lattice node using transient liquid phase bonding (TLP). 3D metal lattice structures are constructed, and their mechanical properties are investigated. The lattice structure shows comparable strength even with smaller relative density (< 10%). The strength and elastic modulus of all the fabricated samples decreases with the increase in cell size, which is consistent with the traditional wisdom.

Distinctive polymer brushes (PBs) play a crucial role in providing a nonpreferential (neutral) surface for vertical orientation of block copolymers (BCPs). This bottom-up approach effectively aligns the formation of vertical lamellar and cylinder lattice structures from the BCP, which is crucial for nanopatterning and other applications. In conventional BCP self-assembly techniques, random copolymer brushes are commonly employed to achieve substrate neutrality.

Developing cost-effective spinel oxide catalysts with both high oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity and stability is crucial for advancing sustainable clean energy conversion. However, practical applications are often hindered by the activity limitations inherent in the adsorbate evolution mechanism (AEM) and the stability limitations associated with the lattice oxygen mechanism (LOM). Herein, we demonstrate structural changes induced by phase transformation in CoMn spinel oxides, which yield more active octahedral sites with shortened intersite distance.

Modulating the electronic structure of catalysts to maximize their power holds the key to address the challenges faced by zinc-iodine batteries (ZIBs), including the shuttle effect and slow redox kinetics at the iodine cathode. Herein, oxygen vacancies is innovatively introduced into CoO lattice to create high-spin-state Co active sites in nonstoichiometric CoO nanocrystals supported by carbon nanofibers (H-CoO/CNFs). This simple strategy intensifies crystal field splitting of Co 3d orbitals, optimizing the spin-orbital coupling between Co 3d orbitals and iodine species.

We reveal contrasting behaviors in molecular motion between the two materials, including the identification of resonance-enhanced dynamic features in elastomers. We present a depth-resolved analysis of molecular dynamics in semicrystalline polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and fully amorphous fluorinated elastomer (SIFEL) films using static-gradient solid-state F NMR imaging. By measuring spin-lattice relaxation rates ( ) at multiple frequencies and evaluating the corresponding spectral density functions, we reveal distinct dynamic behaviors between the two materials.
