International researcher team presents a novel microstructure design strategy for lean medium-manganese steels with optimized properties in the journal Science
Efficient harvesting of sunlight and (photo-)electrochemical conversion into solar fuels is an emerging energy technology with enormous promise. Such emerging technologies depend critically on materials systems, in which the integration of dissimilar components and the internal interfaces that arise between them determine the functionality.
This project endeavours to offer comprehensive insights into GB phases and their mechanical responses within both pure Ni and Ni-X (X=Cu, Au, Nb) solid solutions. The outcomes of this research will contribute to the development of mechanism-property diagrams, guiding material design and optimization strategies for various applications.
