Use of UHPC Jackets in Coastal Bridge Piles

Second International Interactive Symposium on UHPC, 2019
Concrete deteriorates for a variety of reasons, but corrosion of steel reinforcement has been one of the most prevalent mechanisms of deterioration since concrete structures were introduced in the early 1900s. It affects many types of concrete elements, especially the substructures of coastal bridges.

High Fracture Toughness of 1D Copper‐Based MOP Electrode Enables Fast‐Charging Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Traditional electrode materials suffer from particle cracking and rapid capacity fade during fast charging, largely originating from their low fracture toughness. This work introduces a one‐dimensional Cu‐based metal–organic polymer, in which strong π‐d conjugation and π–π stacking endow the framework with high fracture toughness, simultaneously ...

A Highly Hydrophilic Air Electrode With Water‐Induced Surface Reconstruction for Efficient Reversible Protonic Ceramic Cell at Low Water Partial Pressures

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates a new strategy for reversible protonic ceramic cells (R‐PCCs). By developing highly hydrophilic oxides, efficient operation is achieved under low water vapor pressures while maintaining high performance and stability. This approach addresses the challenge of hydrogen production in freshwater‐scarce regions.
