Article Abstract

High-carbon-chromium martensitic stainless steel (MSS) is widely used in many fields due to its excellent mechanical properties, while the coarse eutectic carbide in MSS deteriorates corrosion resistance. In this work, nitrogen was added to the MSS to improve corrosion resistance. The effects of nitrogen on the microstructure and corrosion resistance of MSS were systematically studied. The results showed that the addition of nitrogen promoted the development of CrN and reversed austenite, effectively inhibiting the formation of δ-ferrite. Therefore, the durability of the passivation film was improved, the passivation zone was expanded, and the susceptibility to metastable pitting was decreased. As a consequence, nearly two orders of magnitude have been achieved in the pitting potential (E) of MSS containing nitrogen, and the polarization resistance value (R) has gone up from 4.05 kΩ·cm to 1.24 × 10 kΩ·cm. This means that in a corrosive environment, nitrogen-treated MSS stainless steel is less likely to form pitting pits, which further extends the service life of the material.

This study explores the computational isolation of prostaglandin (PG) isomers, specifically PG E (PGE) and D (PGD), to enhance method development efficiency and provide insights into their retention behavior during supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) combined with supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Although PGE and PGD are positional isomers that yield identical product ions in MS/MS, they serve distinct biological roles. This research illustrates the efficacy of selected reaction monitoring (SRM)-based techniques for differentiating coeluting isomers.

Anode-free sulfide-based all-solid-state lithium metal batteries (ASSLMBs), which eliminate the need for a lithium metal anode during fabrication, offer superior energy density, enhanced safety, and simplified manufacturing. Their performance is largely influenced by the interfacial properties of the current collectors. Although previous studies have investigated the degradation of sulfide electrolytes on commonly used copper (Cu) and stainless steel (SS) current collectors, the impact of spontaneously formed surface oxides, such as copper oxide (CuO/CuO) and chromium oxide (CrO), on interfacial stability remains underexplored.
