It is demonstrated that amorphous cobalt boride (Co 2 B) prepared by the chemical reduction of CoCl using NaBH 4 an exceptionally efficient electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline electrolytes and simultaneously active catalyzing hydrogen (HER). The catalyst achieves a current density 10 mA cm −2 at 1.61 V on inert support 1.59 when impregnated with nitrogen‐doped graphene. Stable performance maintained least 60 h. optimized catalyst, Co B annealed 500 °C B‐500)...

In the present work, we show how conventional and advanced mechanical, chemical, microstructural methods can be used to characterize cast single crystal Ni‐base superalloy (SX) plates across multiple length scales. Two types of heterogeneities are important, associated with microstructure (dendrites (D) interdendritic (ID) regions – large scale heterogeneity) well‐known γ/γ′ (small heterogeneity). Using electron probe micro‐analysis (EPMA), that elements such as Re, Co, Cr partition...

High entropy shape memory alloys (HESMAs) represent a relatively young class of functional materials. They show reversible martensitic phase transformation which allows to exploit effects at high temperatures. HESMAs ordered complex solid-solutions. Their temperature is B2 type, and various elements (e.g. Ni, Cu, Ti, Zr, Hf) occupy sites in specific sub-lattices. In the present work, we study processing properties HESMAs. We chemical complexity on solidification microstructures...

We present a facile route to fabricate nanoporous gold composites (NPGCs) through chemical dealloying of two phase Al–Au alloys comprising Al2Au and AlAu intermetallic compounds under free corrosion conditions. The microstructures the NPGCs were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive analysis, transmission microscopy. separately proceeds, results in formation NPGCs. are composed intracellular intercellular areas which exhibit kinds...
