Designing superhard metals: The case of low borides

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2018
The search for new superhard materials has usually focused on strong covalent solids. It is, however, a huge challenge to design superhard metals because of the low resistance of metallic bonds against the formation and movement of dislocations. Here, we

Microstructure and Hot Deformation Behaviour of a Novel Zr-Alloyed High-Boron Steel

open access: yesMetals, 2019
A novel corrosion-resistant steel with high boron content is investigated in this paper. Three stages during crystallisation of the steel are revealed.

Luminescent Donor‐Acceptor Radical With Propeller Chirality: Bright and Photostable Red Circularly Polarized Luminescence and Whispering Gallery Mode Resonance

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A series of donor‐attached brominated chiral luminescent radicals (CzTTBrM, 2CzTTBrM, and 3CzTTBrM) was synthesized, showing red to near‐infrared (NIR) circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) with exceptionally high PLQY of up to 76% and markedly enhanced CPL brightness (BCPL). Doping into polystyrene microspheres further yields whispering gallery mode

Influence of alloying (Cr, Fe, Ni) on the corrosion resistance of layers formed by electron-beam processing

open access: yesChimica Techno Acta, 2022
The paper presents the results of comparative analysis of the properties of coatings based on chromium, nickel and iron borides. The alloy obtained in the process of electron-beam surfacing of the powder mixture “amorphous boron – 10 wt.% chromium” has ...

New ZrB$_2$ polymorphs: First-principles calculations

open access: yes, 2020
Two new hypothetical zirconium diboride (ZrB2) polymorphs: (hP6-P63/mmc space group, no.194) and (oP6-Pmmn-space group, no.59), were thoroughly studied under the first-principles density functional theory calculations from the structural, mechanical and ...

Thermodynamic modeling of the NbeB system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In the present work, the Nb–B binary system was thermodynamically optimized. The stable phases in this system are BCC (niobium), Nb3B2, NbB, Nb3B4, Nb5B6, NbB2, B (boron) and liquid L.

Effect of Antagonistic Binder–Catalyst Interactions on Catalytic Activity in Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The binder is shown to interact antagonistically with the catalyst in a sulfur cathode, impeding Li2Sx adsorption onto catalytic active sites. This hinders electrochemical performance and prevents the effective deployment of catalysts. This study showcases catalyst‐binder compatibility as a key parameter for cathode design in lithium‐sulfur (Li‐S ...

Room‐Temperature Gas‐Phase CO2‐to‐C3 Coupling by a 4f‐Aromatic Cluster

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
We engineered a 4f metalla aromatic cluster, PrB2C2−, that enables efficient sequential C−C coupling with CO2 at room temperature, yielding a linear C3 backbone. This system provides a complete theoretical catalytic cycle and establishes a new design principle for lanthanide mediated CO2 activation.

Alkali Metal Borides

open access: yes, 1977
The first studies relevant to alkali metal borides were carried out in the nineteenh century as an incidental part of the effort to isolate element boron by reduction of several boron compounds...
