AbstractLayered transition-metal oxides have attracted intensive interest for cathode materials of sodium-ion batteries. However, they are hindered by the limited capacity and inferior phase transition due to the gliding of transition-metal layers upon Na+ extraction and insertion in the cathode materials. Here, we report that the large-sized K+ is riveted in the prismatic Na+ sites of P2-Na0.612K0.056MnO2 to enable more thermodynamically favorable Na+ vacancies. The Mn-O bonds are reinforced to reduce phase transition during charge and discharge. 0.901 Na+ per formula are reversibly extracted and inserted, in which only the two-phase transition of P2 ↔ P’2 occurs at low voltages. It exhibits the highest specific capacity of 240.5 mAh g−1 and energy density of 654 Wh kg−1 based on the redox of Mn3+/Mn4+, and a capacity retention of 98.2% after 100 cycles. This investigation will shed lights on the tuneable chemical environments of transition-metal oxides for advanced cathode materials and promote the development of sodium-ion batteries.

Improvement in the mechanical properties of sheet two-phase high-strength titanium alloy VT23 due to impact-oscillatory loading and the use of carbon nanosolutions at room temperature was tested experimentally. It was shown that in addition to obtaining a significant increase in the initial plastic deformation of the alloy, it is possible to strengthen the surface layers of the alloy by a factor of 8.4% at a time via the impulse introduction of energy into the alloy and the use of carbon nanosolutions. Using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), it was first found that strengthening of the surface layers of the titanium alloy at a given load, in line with using a carbon nanosolution, leads to the formation of a mixture of titanium oxide and titanium carbide or oxycarbide of type TiO2−xCx on the surface.

Abstract Mechanical properties of the two-phase titanium alloy Ti6Al7Nb, after the heat treatment based on soaking this alloy in the α + β range, cooling in water or oil and ageing at two selected temperatures, were determined in the hereby paper. The alloy mechanical properties were determined in tensile and impact tests, supported by the fractographic analysis of fractures. In addition, its hardness was measured and the analysis of changes occurring in the microstructure was performed for all variants of the alloy heat treatment. Regardless of the applied cooling rate of the alloy, from a temperature of 970°C followed by ageing at 450 and 650°C, none essential changes were noticed in its microstructure. It was shown that applying less intensive cooling medium (oil) instead of water (before tempering) decreases strength properties indicators, i.e. tensile strength and yield strength as well as hardness (only slightly). The decrease of the above mentioned indicators is accompanied by an increase of an elongation and impacts strength. Fractures of tensile and impact tests are of a ductile character regardless of the applied heat treatment.
