Electronegativity‐Driven Frontier Orbital Engineering in B‐Ti Diatomic Synergy Enables Selective Li2C2O4 Conversion in Li‐CO2 Batteries

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a promising alternative to sluggish Li2CO3‐based Li‐CO2 electrochemistry, Li2C2O4 offers a favorable 2e− discharge pathway, yet its selective formation and reversible decomposition remain debated. Herein, we propose a nonmetal‐metal synergistic catalyst—B‐Ti coregulated layered transition metal boride Ti18B18O9/graphene (B‐Ti/TiBOG)—to ...

Coalescence‐Ripening Mechanism of γ′−Ni3(Al, Ti) During Long‐Term/High‐Temperature Operation of Ni‐Based Superalloy Discs

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The evolution of the γ′−Ni3(Al, Ti) phase in superalloys is governed by a coupled coalescence‐ripening mechanism driven by elemental diffusion. In this study, thermal exposure experiments were performed at 750°C and 800°C for durations ranging from 100 to 20,000 h.
