A tri-layer thin film containing graphene oxide to protect zinc substrates from wear

Fabrication of porous Ti3C2Tx MXene films by in situ foaming strategy for unparalleled high-rate energy storage

“…Nevertheless, –F groups are confirmed to be inactive in electrochemical reaction and would reduce the wetting ability of the materials since –F groups are normally regarded as hydrophobic. 22,23 Thus, mild alkali washing treatment with KOH solution, by eliminating air in a vacuum oven, was finally conducted to the foamed film since it is reported that the partial replacement of –F groups with hydrophilic –OH groups would take place as Ti–F bonds become unstable in basic solution. 24 Meanwhile, more active sites for subsequent electrochemical reaction would be introduced since –OH groups will participate in the electrochemical reaction in acid electrolyte.…”

Effect of Self-Generated Transfer Layer on the Tribological Properties of PTFE Composites Sliding against Steel

“…Various coatings have been widely used in many applications, such as in protection from corrosion [1,2], in anti-friction and anti-wear [3,4], in wave or light absorbing [5,6], or in other fields. According to different service requirements, there are many preparation methods for these coatings, such as physical vapor deposition (PVD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), plating, cladding, spraying and so on [7][8][9].…”
