Strength and toughness are at odds with each other in coating design. Constructing strength–toughness-integrated coatings has long been a pursuit in materials design but is a challenge to achieve. Conventional wisdom suggests that growth of coatings is only a uniform cumulative growth on a two-dimensional plane. However, by constructing growth templates and controlling the alternation of heterogeneous materials, it subverts the traditional perception of cumulative growth in planes and creates the fact that the coating grows on a curved surface. Regulating the microstructure of the coating autonomously and matching the strength and toughness of heterogeneous materials, drawing inspiration from the multiarched structure in the nacre of red abalone, are crucial for achieving strength–toughness integration. Herein, we propose a new idea of coating deposition to achieve strength–toughness integration via preconstructing a nanoscale island-like discontinuous seed layer as a template for coating growth and then growing a nanoscale hard/soft heterogeneous multiarched architecture in situ. We refer to this architecture with intrinsic mechanical advantage as the “Nanoheterogeneous Alternating Multiarched” (NHAM) architecture. We design a nacre-like multiarched coating with a strength of 12.42 GPa and a K IC value of 2.12 MPa·m1/2, depositing the hard phase (TiSiCN layer) and the soft phase (Ag layer) with the unique NHAM architecture via physical vapor deposition technology, which exhibits a superior improvement in the strength–toughness integration compared to that reported in other studies (increased strength by at least 1 GPa without sacrificing toughness). The NHAM architecture strategy provides a pathway to design strength–toughness-integrated coatings. Two heterogeneous materials with well-matched strength and toughness can be deposited to achieve the NHAM architecture to greatly reflect the effect of strength–toughness integration.

“…44,45 More specifically, cobalt oxide nanocatalysts have a widespread application in energy storages due to their controllable size and morphology since nanomaterials have been widely applied in numerous fields owing to their peculiar characters. [46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57] For example, Co 3 O 4 nanofibers supported on 2D nonoxidized graphene nanoflakes were able to significantly promote the specific capacity and cycling stability in Li-O 2 batteries. 58 Zhou et al utilized a unique Co 3 O 4 nanoflower with oxygen vacancies to form a discharge product film, thus improving the discharge/charge specific capacity.…”

Co3O4/In2O3 nanocomposites were prepared via a microwave-hydrothermal method and directly used as photoanodes for the photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) process to reduce Cr(VI). The as-prepared Co3O4/In2O3 composites show a rod-like structure, which is composed of nanoparticles. The PEC experiments indicated that after 120 min of irradiation with 0.7 V bias voltage and visible light, the Cr(VI) reduction efficiency of Co3O4/In2O3 composites in aqueous solution was 100%, which was superior to the samples prepared by other methods. Moreover, the Co3O4/In2O3 composite still had a high catalytic activity after five runs of PEC experiments. Elimination experiments demonstrate that photo-generated electrons (e–) performed a key role in the catalytic reduction of Cr(VI). The significantly improved PEC performance can be attributed to the bias voltage and the p-n heterojunction formed between Co3O4 and In2O3. Therefore, Co3O4/In2O3 nanocomposites have a considerable potential for the PEC reduction of Cr(VI).
