When processing single crystal X-ray diffraction datasets for twins of Al2Cu sample synthesized by the high-pressure sintering (HPS) method, we have clarified why the crystal structure of Al2Cu was incorrectly solved about a century ago. The structural relationships between all existing Al2Cu phases, including the Owen-, θ-, θ’-, and Ω-Al2Cu phases, were investigated and established based on a proposed pseudo Al2Cu phase. Two potential phases have been built up by adjusting the packing sequences of A/B layers of Al atoms that were inherent in all existing Al2Cu phases. The mechanical, thermal, and dynamical stability of two such novel phases and their electronic properties were investigated by first-principles calculations.

Here, we have discovered a new high-pressure phase of Sb2O3, and reported pressure-induced anomalies in orthorhombic β-Sb2O3 (valentinite) by the combination of synchrotron in situ X-ray diffraction and first-principles theoretical calculations up to 40.5 GPa.

The silver particles were grown in situ on the surface of wood by the silver mirror method and modified with stearic acid to acquire a surface with superhydrophobic and antibacterial properties. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray energy spectroscopy (XPS) were used to analyze the reaction mechanism of the modification process. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and contact angle tests were used to characterize the wettability and surface morphology. A coating with a micro rough structure was successfully constructed by the modification of stearic acid, which imparted superhydrophobicity and antibacterial activity to poplar wood. The stability tests were performed to discuss the stability of its hydrophobic performance. The results showed that it has good mechanical properties, acid and alkali resistance, and UV stability. The durability tests demonstrated that the coating has the function of water resistance and fouling resistance and can maintain the stability of its hydrophobic properties under different temperatures of heat treatment.
