Progress on high-temperature protective coatings for aero-engines

Lei Guo, Wenting He, Wenbo Chen et al. · 27 Sep 2023

Abstract Aero-engine is a key part of aircraft, the operating temperature of which is being pushed to unprecedented levels for higher engine efficiency and performance. To accomplish higher gas-inlet temperature of aero-engines, applying thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) on hot-section metallic components, or even replacing some of the metallic components in aero-engines with ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs)…

Advances in in situ/operando techniques for catalysis research: enhancing insights and discoveries

Linfeng Chen, Xinzhi Ding, Zheren Wang et al. · 14 Mar 2024

Abstract Catalysis research has witnessed remarkable progress with the advent of in situ and operando techniques. These methods enable the study of catalysts under actual operating conditions, providing unprecedented insights into catalytic mechanisms and dynamic catalyst behavior. This review discusses key in situ techniques and their applications in catalysis research. Advances in in situ electron…

Surface chemistry of graphitic carbon nitride: doping and plasmonic effect, and photocatalytic applications

Pradeepta Babu, Hyewon Park, Jeong Young Park · 20 Dec 2023

Abstract To achieve the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal (SDG7) of limiting global temperature rise to less than 1.5 °C, it is crucial to reduce non-renewable energy sources and curb the production of greenhouse gases like CO 2 . In this context, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) has emerged as a promising…

Status and prospects of surface texturing: design, manufacturing and applications

Jingyu Song, Hui Huang, Xigui Wang et al. · 15 Dec 2023

Abstract In recent years, the requirements for high-quality development in the manufacturing industry and extreme application conditions have increasingly demanded higher equipment performance. The surface and interface condition of components is directly related to the stability, reliability and service life of equipment. The development of high-performance or multi-performance surface texturing is of great significance for…

A review of research on material removal mechanisms for laser-assisted machining of difficult-to-machine materials
