Ablation Properties of HfC–SiC–WC Ultra‐High Temperature Ceramics Produced by Pressureless Sintering
Schematic diagram highlighting the processes that occur during ablation testing of HfC–SiC and HfC–SiC–WC. ABSTRACT HfC–SiC is one of the leading thermal insulation ceramics that has the potential to perform well under high thermomechanical loads. In this study, we explore the use of pressureless sintering to produce this material at relatively low ...

Constructing Cu/Cu2O Heterogeneous Interface for Efficient Urea Electrosynthesis
In this study, a Cu/Cu2O heterogeneous interface with dual active sites is prepared for electrocatalytic CO2 and NO3− coupling to urea. The catalyst shows high yield rates of 1156.63 mmol g−1 h−1 and FE of 29.67% at −1.0 V (vs RHE), which is significantly higher than Cu and Cu2O, highlighting the advantages of heterogeneous interface synergistic ...

This review examines thermo‐ and photocatalytic routes for converting CO2 to ethanol and analyzes how metal alloying, promoters, supports, surface structure, and semiconductor design govern catalyst activity, selectivity, and stability. It integrates mechanistic insights from experimental and theoretical studies and identifies the main challenges and ...
