Enhancing power density in D-mode GaN HEMT direct-current triboelectric nanogenerators through ICP-etched surface engineering

In the evolving landscape of energy harvesting, the refinement of friction properties in metal-semiconductor direct current triboelectric nanogenerators (MSDC TENGs) has garnered significant attention. While prior research predominantly concentrated on achieving superior performance in MSDC TENGs through material manipulation, structural adjustments, and friction mode optimization, there has been a noticeable dearth of investigations into surface engineering or modification of semiconductor materials. In this paper, the surface patterning of depletion mode GaN-based high electron mobility transistor (D-GaN HEMT) as friction materials is done by inductively coupled plasma etching method, involving both mechanism analysis and experimental exploration. Through modulation of etching depth and pattern density, a systematically arranged diamond pattern is created on the surface, augmenting surface roughness and charge density. Consequently, the surface-patterned D-GaN HEMT TENG achieves a maximum short-circuit current of 60 µA and a peak power density of 4.05 W/m², which is about 2.8 times greater than the pristine D-GaN HEMT TENG. Furthermore, the power supply capabilities of the surface-patterned D-GaN HEMT TENG are scrutinized, revealing its proficiency in capacitive charging and discharging. The successful activation of a deep ultraviolet LED underscores its potential applications in ultraviolet disinfection. This research holds substantial significance in optimizing the power generation efficiency and performance of MSDC TENGs employing D-GaN HEMT.

Influence of Mechanical Activation on the Evolution of TiSiCN Powders for Reactive Plasma Spraying

In modern materials science and surface engineering, reactive plasma spraying (RPS) holds a key position due to its ability to create high-quality coatings with unique properties. The effectiveness of this process is largely determined by the physicochemical characteristics of the initial powder materials. This study examines the effects of mechanical activation for two compositions in the TiSiCN system and their impact on the quality and performance characteristics of RPS-produced coatings. It is shown that mechanical activation induces significant changes in the crystalline structure of the powders, reducing their particle size and increasing their specific surface area, thereby enhancing the reactivity of the materials during mechanochemical reactions. These changes contribute to the formation of dense and durable coatings with improved hardness and thermal stability. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results confirm that the powders retain stable thermal properties and exhibit resistance to oxidation and decomposition. X-ray structural analysis reveals multiphase structures, including TiC, SiC, and TiCN, with the TiCN phase playing a key role in ensuring coating hardness. Additionally, SEM analysis showed that the TiSiCN-2-2 coating possesses a denser and more homogeneous structure with minimal pores and microcracks, providing superior mechanical strength and wear resistance compared to TiSiCN-1-2. Cross-sectional micrographs further revealed that the TiCN + Si coating has a greater average thickness (39.87 μm) and more uniform distribution compared to Ti + SiC (35.48 μm), indicating better application control and a more homogeneous material structure. Mechanical activation significantly influences the properties of powders, allowing for the determination of optimal parameters for RPS, which is a highly efficient method for creating coatings with unique performance characteristics.

Towards ultra-stable and dendrite-suppressed Li-metal batteries: Ion-regulating graphene-modified separators

The practical application of metallic lithium (Li) anodes is hindered by nonuniform Li deposition/dissolution, as well as poor electrochemical reversibility during cycling. To address these challenges, surface modification of polymer separators with functional materials has been extensively explored. In this study, two distinct surface-modifying layers composed of MnOx and polydopamine (PDA) are applied to modify the surface of graphene-coated polypropylene separators (G@PP). Both MnOx and PDA, which are formed through the graphene layer, significantly enhance the intrinsic electrolyte wettability of G@PP, resulting in a homogeneous Li-ion flux. Furthermore, the lithiophilic properties revealed by DFT and COMSOL analyses synergize with the hydrophilic characteristics, resulting in a more stable electrochemical performance in Li-metal batteries (LMBs). The enhanced electrolyte permeability of the coating layer allows Li–Cu cells with MnOx-modified graphene-coated PP (MG@PP) and PDA-modified graphene-coated PP (PG@PP) separators to exhibit significantly improved cycle stability compared with Li–Cu cells with G@PP separators. Interestingly, Li–S cells equipped with MG@PP and PG@PP separators exhibit also enhanced electrochemical performance compared with Li–S cells with G@PP separators. These results highlight that surface engineering of separator-coating materials along with hydrophilic and lithiophilic materials enhances both long-term cycle stability and electrochemical kinetics in LMBs.

Plasma‐flash sintering: Metastable phase stabilization and evidence of ionized species

AbstractThe first demonstration of plasma‐flash sintering (PFS) is presented in this work. PFS is performed under a low‐pressure atmosphere that consecutively generates plasma and flash events. It is shown, by using several combined characterization techniques, that PFS stabilizes metastable phases on the surface of the material, which may be partially, but not solely, attributed to the generation of oxygen vacancies, and induces the absorption of ionized species, if a reactive atmosphere is employed. Even though additional research is required to understand the fundamentals of PFS, it is evidenced its potential to be used as a material surface engineering tool, which may widen the technological capabilities of flash sintering.

Surface modification of nitrocellulose by interfacial self-assembly of metal-phenolic network for enhanced thermal stability and eco-friendly propulsion energy

Metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) have received widespread interest owing to their ability to incorporate metal ions and phenolic ligands in a modular manner. However, the effect of MPNs on nitrocellulose (NC), an energetic material for propulsion, has not been extensively investigated. Herein, we fabricated MPN-coated NC fibers (NC@MPN) and confirmed the successful coating and homogeneous distribution of MPN on the surface of NC through Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV–visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The thermal stability of NC was enhanced as evidenced by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), accelerating rate calorimetry (ARC) and the ignition point test. The thermal decomposition activation energy of NC@MPN can reach 200.73 kJ•mol−1, 7.50 % higher than that of NC primitive fiber (186.72 kJ•mol−1). The ARC tests demonstrate that the implementation of MPN coating prolonged the time of entering the adiabatic section by 5.4 °C and the forecast temperatures for TD8 and TD24 have increased by 4.6 and 4.8 °C, respectively. Additionally, the ignition point was also raised by 2 °C. The aforementioned three experimental results provide evidence for the enhanced thermal stability conferred by MPNs. Besides, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results demonstrate a reduction in the residue from thermal decomposition. The present study presents a simple and robust coating strategy for the modular surface engineering of energetic materials, which significantly improves thermal stability and reduces the residues of thermal decomposition.

ESTABLISHING THE TYPE OF TEXTURE FORMING PARTICLES ON HYDROPHOBIC PROPERTIES OF COATINGS

In this study, the primary objective is to investigate the impact of various particles on the hydrophobic characteristics of a coating. The experimental approach involves employing a conventional chemical precipitation method to fabricate ZnO particles. Subsequently, composite materials of SiO2-ZnO are synthesized based on these ZnO particles. The coating is formulated using styrene-butyl methacrylate as the principal raw material. Different particles, namely TiO2, SiO2, ZnO, and ZnO-SiO2, are individually added to the coating, allowing for the exploration of the influence of distinct mass ratios on the resulting hydrophobic angle. The findings of this investigation reveal a notable trend in the contact angles of the four materials as the mass ratio varies. Initially, the contact angles experience an increase, followed by a subsequent decrease. Remarkably, when the mass ratio of ZnO-SiO2 is set at 60%, the contact angle achieves an impressive 152.5°, meeting the criteria for superhydrophobicity. In comparison to a pure acrylate polymer coating, the incorporation of particles induces agglomeration on the coating's surface. This agglomeration can be conceptualized as clustered particles, contributing to heightened surface roughness in the coating and consequently enhancing its hydrophobic properties. The observed variations in contact angles underscore the nuanced interplay between mass ratios and hydrophobicity, shedding light on the optimization possibilities for achieving superhydrophobic coatings. The study suggests that manipulating the composition of particles within the coating formulation can be a viable strategy for tailoring hydrophobic properties. Furthermore, the surface modifications induced by particle incorporation provide valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms governing the hydrophobic behavior. This research contributes to the broader understanding of materials science and surface engineering, offering potential applications in areas where superhydrophobic coatings are desirable, such as anti-fouling surfaces, self-cleaning materials, and advanced protective coatings. The exploration of such multifaceted relationships between particle composition and hydrophobicity holds promise for the development of innovative materials with tailored surface properties.

Surface engineering and selection of materials for lunar regolith adherence characterization

As the quest for long-term lunar exploration and habitation comes closer to reality, widespread efforts are ongoing to effectively mitigate lunar dust surface contamination and infiltration. This dust is hazardous to humans and tends to adhere tenaciously to all exposed surfaces, causing performance issues and ultimately failure. While several active and passive technologies have been developed to address this challenge, assessing the performance of these technologies in the lunar environment is required. The Regolith Adherence Characterization experiment payload scheduled to be flown to the lunar surface in 2024 provides an important opportunity for this evaluation. A limited number of material testing slots were available to the NASA Langley Research Center for this mission, so it was critical to make an informed selection. Two polymers, Kapton® HN and Teflon™ FEP, a carbon fiber reinforced bismaleimide composite, and a titanium alloy, Ti–6Al–4V, were chosen to be a diverse selection of structural materials from the NASA Langley Research Center. Each material was topographically modified using laser ablation patterning. This article describes the selection, surface modification, terrestrial characterization, and performance evaluation for these passive dust mitigating materials.

Polydopamine‐Enabled Biomimetic Surface Engineering of Materials: New Insights and Promising Applications

AbstractSurface modification is an important approach to modify the properties of materials. Numerous approaches have been adopted to tailor the properties of such materials, which have been proven successful at many scales and parameters. However, most of these techniques are often tedious, poorly adhesive, costly, sometimes hazardous, and surface‐specific, hence cannot be extended on a large scale and all kinds of surfaces. These shortcomings have led to the emergence of new dopamine (DA) based green surface modification technique where a thin polydopamine (PDA) layer is deposited on surfaces through a facile polymerization of DA under alkaline conditions to enable the surface for various applications. This surface modification strategy has several advantages over other techniques in deposition processing under mild conditions, cost‐effective and straightforward ingredients, and applicability to all kinds of surfaces regardless of their sizes, shapes, and types. Moreover, the PDA layer enhances the surface functionality. Therefore, it can serve as a versatile platform for various secondary reactions for a wide range of applications. Herein, the chemistry of DA is summarized and its polymerized form PDA for the modification of different families of materials’ surfaces with an emphasis on energy, environmental and biological applications.

PREDICTION OF DEPTH OF NITRIDE LAYER IN IRON DURING GAS NITRIDING USING NEURAL NETWORK

Surface engineering of materials can add economic value to the material. Gas nitriding in iron is a typical thermochemical surface engineering process at eutectoid temperatures, where nitrogen diffuses to the surface to form nitride layers in the form of gamma phase and epsilon phase. In this study, a computational approach will be taken to predict the formation of the nitriding layer. In the prediction, a backpropagation neural network is used with input parameters of temperature, nitriding potential and time with an output of nitriding layer depth. This prediction does not distinguish the phase formed in the nitriding layer. The best results were obtained in the model of single hidden layer with 5 neurons and two hidden layers with the formation starting with 6 neurons followed by 5 neurons. The mean square error of the training data for the single hidden layer is 0.0027. While for two hidden layers the value is higher at 0.0032. The results obtained for the absolute mean error and root mean square values for the single hidden layer model are 0.6117 and 0.9670. For the two hidden layers model, the absolute error and root mean square values are 0.5894 and 1.0472. It can be seen from the correlation coefficient that both models can only predict well at depths of more than 10 μm.

Surface engineering of energetic materials can secure novel decomposition characteristics. Nature can inspire novel solutions. Polydopamine, with strong adhesion power of mussel proteins, can open new venues for the facile development of functionalized energetic materials. HMX, one of the most powerful energetic materials in use, was surface modified with PDA. The reactive amine groups of PDA surfactant were employed for noble metal catalyst deposition. Silver nanocatalyst was deposited on HMX surface. Uniform deposition of silver nanocatalyst was assessed using EDAX detector. Decomposition kinetics was investigated via isoconversional (model free) and model fitting. Kissinger, Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose (KAS), integral isoconversional method of Ozawa, Flynn, and Wall (FWO), and differential isoconversional method of Friedman. Silver nanocatalyst offered an increase in HMX decomposition enthalpy by 32.4%. In the meantime, HMX activation energy was decreased from 350 ± 2.53 to 284.9 ± 1.5 kJ mol−1 by Friedman method. Silver nanocatalyst could combust exothermically; it could induce condensed phase reactions that could boost HMX decomposition. Silver nanocatalyst experienced change in HMX decomposition model from diffusion reaction (D1) to (A3) known as three-dimensional random nucleation and growth. Surface modification with PDA secured enhanced HMX sensitivity to falling mass impact by 40%.

Advanced surface engineering of titanium materials for biomedical applications: From static modification to dynamic responsive regulation.

Titanium (Ti) and its alloys have been widely used as orthopedic implants, because of their favorable mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. Despite their significant success in various clinical applications, the probability of failure, degradation and revision is undesirably high, especially for the patients with low bone density, insufficient quantity of bone or osteoporosis, which renders the studies on surface modification of Ti still active to further improve clinical results. It is discerned that surface physicochemical properties directly influence and even control the dynamic interaction that subsequently determines the success or rejection of orthopedic implants. Therefore, it is crucial to endow bulk materials with specific surface properties of high bioactivity that can be performed by surface modification to realize the osseointegration. This article first reviews surface characteristics of Ti materials and various conventional surface modification techniques involving mechanical, physical and chemical treatments based on the formation mechanism of the modified coatings. Such conventional methods are able to improve bioactivity of Ti implants, but the surfaces with static state cannot respond to the dynamic biological cascades from the living cells and tissues. Hence, beyond traditional static design, dynamic responsive avenues are then emerging. The dynamic stimuli sources for surface functionalization can originate from environmental triggers or physiological triggers. In short, this review surveys recent developments in the surface engineering of Ti materials, with a specific emphasis on advances in static to dynamic functionality, which provides perspectives for improving bioactivity and biocompatibility of Ti implants.

Surface-Engineered Zn-Based Alloys Anodes for Aqueous Zn Batteries

Safety and durability concerns caused by surface and interface instabilities of high-surface-activity energy materials are challenging modern electrochemical energy conversion and storage systems. In this presentation, I will present our most recent representative works on the surface engineering of functional materials for aqueous batteries. In this work, we designed an in-situ visualized protocol that can exactly mimic the actual electrochemical environments used in aqueous batteries. Using this novel protocol, we observed the dynamic processes of metal plating/stripping on the alloys in aqueous batteries. Comprehensive and systematic studies based on experimental, theoretical, spectroscopic, and microscopic approaches prove that absolute reversibility can be achieved by using the proposed 3D alloys because of the significantly improved Zn diffusion and successfully suppressed dendrite growth. As a proof-of-concept, the novel alloy structures deliver unprecedented stability with nearly 100% Coulombic efficiency over thousands of cycles even under harsh electrochemical conditions, including testing in seawater-based aqueous electrolytes and using a high current density of 80 mA cm-2.

Binder-free fabricated transparent Nb4+ implanted Nb2O5-x ultra-thin negatrode with enhanced areal capacitance and exceptional cyclic stability in aqueous electrolyte

Direct coating and surface engineering of Nb2O5-based active storage materials are important techniques for improving their interfacial interactions with the current collector and electrolyte ions, which have been difficult to achieve in a facile and energy-efficient way. Herein, we report the binder-free coating of shear-structured Nb4+ implanted Nb2O5 (Nb2O5-x) sub-micron thin pseudocapacitive negatrode with wide negative operating voltage (−1.20 V vs Ag/AgCl), improved electronic and ionic conductivity, reduced charge transfer resistance and enhanced energy storage capacity. The Nb4+ implanted electrode exhibits 3.5 mF/cm2 c. a. At 5 mV/s and 100% capacity retention after 3000 constant charge-discharge cycles. The unique electrode was realized via mild de-oxidation of electrodeposited Nb2O5 in a vacuum-less, low-temperature surface engineering process. This simple strategy is suitable for improving current collector-Nb2O5-x-electrolyte interfacial interactions and for industrial-scale production of improved pseudocapacitive negatrodes.

Advances of Mussel-Inspired Nanocomposite Hydrogels in Biomedical Applications.

Hydrogels, with 3D hydrophilic polymer networks and excellent biocompatibilities, have emerged as promising biomaterial candidates to mimic the structure and properties of biological tissues. The incorporation of nanomaterials into a hydrogel matrix can tailor the functions of the nanocomposite hydrogels to meet the requirements for different biomedical applications. However, most nanomaterials show poor dispersion in water, which limits their integration into the hydrophilic hydrogel network. Mussel-inspired chemistry provides a mild and biocompatible approach in material surface engineering due to the high reactivity and universal adhesive property of catechol groups. In order to attract more attention to mussel-inspired nanocomposite hydrogels, and to promote the research work on mussel-inspired nanocomposite hydrogels, we have reviewed the recent advances in the preparation of mussel-inspired nanocomposite hydrogels using a variety of nanomaterials with different forms (nanoparticles, nanorods, nanofibers, nanosheets). We give an overview of each nanomaterial modified or hybridized by catechol or polyphenol groups based on mussel-inspired chemistry, and the performances of the nanocomposite hydrogel after the nanomaterial's incorporation. We also highlight the use of each nanocomposite hydrogel for various biomedical applications, including drug delivery, bioelectronics, wearable/implantable biosensors, tumor therapy, and tissue repair. Finally, the challenges and future research direction in designing mussel-inspired nanocomposite hydrogels are discussed.

Facile Tailoring of Surface Terminations of MXenes by Doping Nb Element: Toward Extraordinary Pseudocapacitance Performance.

MXenes show promising potential in supercapacitors due to their unique two-dimensional (2D) structure and abundant surface functional groups. However, most studies about MXenes have focused on tailoring surface structures by alternating synthesis methods or post-etch treatments, and little is known about the inherent relationship between surface groups and M elements. Herein, we propose a simple and novel strategy to adjust the surface structure of few-layered MXene flakes by adding a small amount of Nb element. Because of the strong affinity between Nb and O elements, the as-received V1.8Nb0.2CTx and Ti2.7Nb0.3C2Tx MXenes have much fewer -F functional groups and a higher O content than V2CTx and Ti3C2Tx MXenes, respectively. Thus, both V1.8Nb0.2CTx and Ti2.7Nb0.3C2Tx MXenes show enhanced pseudocapacitance performance. Especially, V1.8Nb0.2CTx delivers an ultrahigh volumetric capacitance of 1698 F/cm3 at a scan rate of 2 mV/s. Moreover, benefiting from the high activity of MAX precursors obtained through a fast self-propagating high-temperature synthesis, the etching time to produce V-based MXenes is much shorter than that in previous reports. Therefore, the results presented here are applicable to the surface engineering and rational design of 2D MXene materials and develop them into promising, cost-effective electrode materials for supercapacitors or other energy-storage equipment.
