“…One of the most perspective structures is the core-shell feature of the single crystal whiskers with the amorphous and oxidated shell. Such structures have the potential to be utilized for gas sensing applications [ 68 ], hydrogen storage [ 69 ] as well as for various electronics applications [ 69 , 70 ]. Another possible application is development of self-regenerating aluminum surface covered with regrowing Pb whiskers for antimicrobial purposes [ 71 ].…”

The elucidation of spontaneous growth of metal whiskers from metal surfaces is still ongoing, with the mainstream research conducted on Sn whiskers. This work reports on the discovery of Pb whisker growth from Bi-Mg-Pb solid pools found in common machinable aluminum alloy. The whiskers and hillocks display unique morphologies and complex growth that have not been documented beforehand. In contrast to typical understanding of whisker growth, the presented Pb whiskers show a clear nanocrystalline induced growth mechanism, which is a novel concept. Furthermore, the investigated whiskers are also found to be completely composed of nanocrystals throughout their entire length. The performed research gives new insight into nucleation and growth of metal whiskers, which raises new theoretical questions and challenges current theories of spontaneous metal whisker growth. Additionally, this work provides the first microscopic confirmation of recrystallization growth theory of whiskers that relates to oriented attachment of nanocrystals formed within an amorphous metallic matrix. The impact of mechanical stress, generated through Bi oxidation within the pools, is theoretically discussed with relation to the observed whisker and hillock growth. The newly discovered nanocrystalline growth provides a new step towards understanding spontaneous metal whisker growth and possibility of developing nanostructures for potential usage in sensing and electronics applications.

A homogeneous incorporation of nanosized Pb particles into the pores and surface of carbon, is reported for developing an advanced and hybrid lead–carbon battery system. The 30% Pb precursor with carbon exhibits a uniform insertion of <5 nm sized Pb particles in carbon without any aggregation. The Pb nanoparticle-impregnated carbon (AC–Pb) is an electrode active material that exhibits better hydrogen inhibition behavior than only carbon. With a coating of AC–Pb-30 on the negative electrode surface, the unit cell attains a higher discharge capacity of 0.95 Ah at 1 A, which is higher than that of the only carbon-coated electrode (0.90 Ah). Interestingly, the AC–Pb-coated negative Pb electrode battery (∼30 000 cycles) demonstrates a steady lifespan, which is more than 10 times longer than that of the normal lead–acid battery system (<3000 cycles). Using AC–Pb as an active material to coat the negative Pb electrode surface, numerous advantages can be realized due to interfacial reactions. The incorporation of Pb into carbon and coating AC–Pb on the negative electrode controlled the formation of larger-sized PbSO4, augmented the electrical conductivity, improved the batteries’ Faradaic redox reaction as well as capacitive performance, and inhibited the hydrogen gas evolution during long-term operations. Expanding the scalability of AC–Pb is observed to be more effective and promising for the improvement of advanced lead–carbon battery systems.

Several plant species survive in the metal‐contaminated environment by minimization of detrimental effects of metal exposure and cellular accumulation, but little is known about their capability to transform the uptake metal ions into nanoparticles, especially in nonspherical shapes. This work firstly reported the in vivo formation of spherical and rod‐shaped lead nanoparticles (PbNPs) from the uptake lead ions in root cells of water velvet (Azolla pinnata). The energy‐dispersive X‐ray fluorescence analysis revealed the high level of lead (67.21 ± 0.70%) and the modulated levels of sulfur, potassium, and calcium in the treated roots. Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy spectral analysis suggested the changes of biochemical constituents in Pb‐treated roots, including carbohydrates, organic compounds, proteins, and nucleic acids. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) images revealed the formation of spherical, short rod, and long rod PbNPs dominantly in epidermal, cortical, and vascular cells in the plant roots, respectively. The analyses of energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, high‐resolution TEM, and selected area diffraction TEM indicated the body‐centered tetragonal lattice of lead oxide nanoparticles (PbONPs) in the root cells.
