Ultrafast Synthesis of a Non‐Noble FeCoNiCrZn Multi‐Element Alloy Electrocatalyst for Alkaline Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
A nanoporous carbon‐coated FeCoNiCrZn multi‐element alloy on carbon cloth (FeCoNiCrZn‐C@CC) is fabricated by ultrafast pulsed laser irradiation. It has excellent OER performance, achieving an overpotential of only 233 mV at 10 mA cm−2 and remarkable stability for 94 h at 250 mA cm−2, which is due to multiple factors.

Failure characteristics and the energy criterion of rock with a through‐going joint under true‐triaxial unloading conditions: Insights from the DEM model

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The rock failure mode is significantly influenced by the contributing factors, such as the joint inclination, the initial confining pressure, and the unloading point. We found six typical rock failure modes after a large number of numerical tests. Abstract Excavation unloading damages rock masses, with preferential failure along geological defects in ...

Geological and geotechnical challenges on the Great Dyke of Zimbabwe and their impact on hardrock pillar design

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The Great Dyke of Zimbabwe is notable for its rich platinum group metal deposits but poses significant geological and geotechnical challenges due to its complex rock types and structural features. Traditional pillar design methods are insufficient for addressing these complexities; the study suggests incorporating advanced techniques such as machine ...

Numerical and experimental study on P‐wave propagation across a rock joint with different orientations

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Joint orientation significantly affects P‐wave velocity, with the highest velocity at zero‐degree angles, decreasing to 30° as the angle increases. The velocity increases slightly from 30 to 45 degrees but sharply decreases from 45 to 90 degrees. Abstract Determination of the required parameters in different science contexts using the ultrasonic wave ...
