Preferential dissolution behaviour of the austenite (γ) phase in Fe-27Cr-C high chromium cast irons (HCCIs) immersed in 0.1 mol dm HSO + 0.05 mol dm HCl was investigated. Potentiodynamic and potentiostatic polarisation revealed that the primary and eutectic γ phases dissolved preferentially at -0.35 and 0.00 V, respectively. The immersion of the HCCIs in the solution showed that the dissolution of the primary γ phase dominated for 1 h, while the primary and eutectic γ phases dissolved after 1 h. However, the carbide phases remained undissolved during the dissolution of the γ phases. Furthermore, the corrosion rate of the HCCIs increased with the increasing C content owing to the increase in the contact potential difference values of the γ and carbide phases. The change in electromotive force due to C addition was related to the accelerated corrosion rate of the γ phases.

The superior efficacy of synroc as an immobilization matrix for actinides in spent nuclear fuel has been extensively validated, positioning it as a leading candidate for long-term nuclear waste management. In this context, isotopic investigations of natural analogues are indispensable for optimizing synroc formulations, particularly regarding their capacity to incorporate and retain actinides and their decay products over geological timescales. In this study, a naturally occurring member of the pyrochlore supergroup was identified as betafite through integrated SEM, EMPA, and XRD analyses.

Aqueous electrolytic Zn-MnO batteries hold great promise for energy storage applications owing to their high theoretical electromotive force and energy density. However, the zinc anode suffers from severe corrosion in strongly acidic electrolytes, leading to hydrogen evolution, low zinc utilization, and premature battery failure. To address these challenges, isoquinoline is introduced as an additive in a chloride-based acidic electrolyte.

Landfill leachate (LFL) is a complex wastewater with high concentrations of organic and inorganic pollutants, posing significant environmental challenges. While membrane distillation (MD) is an effective method for LFL treatment, membrane fouling remains a major issue, leading to reduced permeate flux and performance. This study introduces an integrated in-situ hybrid electrochemical pretreatment system, combining anodic electrooxidation (EO) and cathodic Al coagulation (EOC), where the generation of OH⁻ ions at the cathode drives the dissolution of aluminum, forming Al(OH)₃ coagulants that facilitate coagulation, to enhance LFL treatment in MD.

Hückel anion-based lithium salts present a promising alternative to conventional LiTFSI electrolytes for lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries by reducing lithium polysulfide (LiPS) solubility while maintaining favourable electrochemical properties. This study systematically investigates the performance of LiTDI, LiPDI, and LiHDI-based electrolytes in a DOL : DME (1 : 1) solvent system. Raman spectroscopy, ionic conductivity, and viscosity measurements reveal distinct ion association behaviours, with molecular dynamics simulations confirming preferential Li solvation by DME.

Regulating the electric double layer (EDL) at the Zn/electrolyte interface by adding additives into aqueous electrolyte have received considerable attention because it is cost-effective to enhance the electrochemical performance of aqueous Zinc ion batteries (AZIBs). However, the balance between kinetics and reversibility during the Zn deposition/dissolution process remains challenging. In this work, the Diethoxydimethylsilane (DDS) additive with an appropriate concentration is introduced into 3 mol kg ZnSO (3 m ZSO) electrolyte to regulate the favorable EDL on the Zn surface.
