Transient interactions of boron carbide with molten uranium oxide
Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2021 Thermodynamic equilibrium calculations have shown that, at the elevated temperatures anticipated during severe accidents, uranium oxide-boron carbide interactions are likely to result in significant boron volatilization and the formation of uranium ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Multiscale experiments and modeling reveal how Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets reinforce PVDF nanocomposites. An optimal MXene loading (∼1 wt.%) nearly doubles tensile strength through efficient stress transfer, flake alignment, and crack‐deflection mechanisms, transforming ductile polymer behavior into a controlled multi‐stage fracture pathway which aligns ...

A Super-Oxidized Radical Cationic Icosahedral Boron Cluster [PDF]
, 2020 While the icosahedral closo-[B12H12]2– cluster does not display reversible electrochemical behavior, perfunctionalization of this species via substitution of all twelve B–H vertices with alkoxy orbenzyloxy (OR) substituents engenders reversible redox ...

Orbital Geometry‐Governed Response of Pressure‐Tunable Quantum Defects in hBN
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Defects in hBN act as ultrasensitive quantum manometers when the energy of the intradefect optical transitions is modified by lattice compression. The orbital geometry of the electron wave functions governs how electron hopping and Coulomb interactions react uniquely to the reduction of the van der Waals gap and in‐plane compression, leading to robust ...
