Effects of Vibratory Stress Relief on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Marine Welded Structures by Liqiang Gao, Qinan Yao, Yuchen Yang, Dejian Sun, Guanhua Xu, Bangping Gu, Cong Yang, Shuaizhen Li

“…The significant reduction in residual stress after VSR can primarily be attributed to the combination of alternating stress applied by the VSR platform and the welding residual stress, which exceeded the yield limit of the metal materials. Furthermore, the significant reduction in residual stress, refinement of second-phase particles, and changes in fracture mechanisms are the main reasons for the increased strength observed after VSR. …”

Ion-Replacement Strategy in Preparing Bi-Based MOF and Its Derived Bi/C Composite for Efficient Sodium Storage by Zhenpeng Zhu, Shuya Zhang, Kuan Shen, Fu Cao, Qinghong Kong, Junhao Zhang

“…To address large volumetric expansion and low conductivity of bismuth-based anodes, an ion-replacement technique is proposed to prepare Bi/C composites, using 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylicacid (H₃BTC) based metal–organic framework as precursors. The characterizations reveal that the Bi/C composite derived from Cu-H₃BTC is a sheet structure with the size of 150 nm, and Bi nanoparticles are uniformly dispersed in carbon sheets. …”

Inhibition of zinc dendrite growth by a preferential crystal surface modulation strategy by Weihua Zhou, Junrun Feng, Zhuo Chen, Ziming Wan, Haoyu Feng, Lin Sheng, Zhuo Peng, Wenyuan Zhang, Zhangxiang Hao

“…Considering that Zn (002) promotes the uniform deposition of Zn while Zn (100) is generally more stable and less reactive, adjusting the ratio of active Zn (002) to Zn (100) can significantly enhance the stability and reversibility of Zn metal. With the AS treatment of 20 minutes, the ratio between Zn (002) to Zn (100) is around 0.93, which exhibits the best electrochemical performance and enables the Zn//Zn symmetric battery to cycle over 2200 hours at 2 mA cm−2 and 1 mAh cm−2. …”
