Lifetime-based NIR luminescent nanothermometry is ideally suited for temperature detection in living cells and vivo, but the thermal sensitivity (Sr) modulation remains elusive. Herein, a thorough investigation performed to unveil shell effect on lifetime-based Sr by finely controlling thickness of lanthanide-doped core–shell–shell nanoparticles. Owing space-dependent energy transfer back between Nd3+ Yb3+ as well migration surface quenchers, both active inert shells can regulate...
Liquid metal Galinstan (GaInSn) is corrosive in nature against other solid metals as its base component gallium. This study experimentally investigated the compatibility of GaInSn with eight common at temperatures up to 200 °C for 2000 h, including aluminum, copper, brass, ferritic and austenitic stainless steels (E-brite, SS304L, SS316L), nickel-chromium alloys (Inconel Hastelloy). assessment aims assist design material selection a liquid magnetohydrodynamics system that houses power...

Adapting an efficient method for pumping gas-liquid metal two-phase flow can make liquid magnetohydrodynamics (LMMHD) power generation systems economically feasible. An experimental facility was developed using a dual injection gas-lift pump to provide the circulation needed in LMMHD system. Also, numerical simulation performed order understand behaviour of through and be able optimize design best operational condition In addition, data were compared 1-D drift flux model that predicted...
Abstract Zinc‐ion battery has become a research hotspot in the energy storage field due to its low cost, high safety, and environmental friendliness. However, zinc as an anode some problems such dendrites hydrogen evolution on surface, which hinder practical application of zinc. These are closely related platting stripping behavior at electrode interface. The construction artificial interface layer is one most direct effective methods protect anode, helpful improve cycle life utilization...

Employing air-fired natural gas combustion, the initially involves between combustion sprayed FFT, yielding dried solids steam-rich hot gas. was then mixed with...
SUMMARYTwo series of Ni-Cu-B deposits were prepared by electroless plating. The effects the [Cu2+]/[Ni2+] molar ratio and concentration KBH4 in solution on deposition rate, surface appearance, structure, composition, hardness, corrosion resistance wettability have been studied. high-B content are amorphous their structural change with annealing at different temperature results changes hardness deposits. For low-B deposits, structures range from Ni-rich solid to Cu-rich increasing...
