A B S T R A C TUniaxial tension and compression experiments were performed on a typical Zr 52.5 Cu 17.9 Ni 14.6 Al 10 Ti 5 (Vit 105) bulk metallic glass over a wide range of strain rates at room temperature. It is found that the strain rate effect of the yielding strength will change from insensitive to negative with increasing strain rate above a critical value. This phenomenon can be quantitatively described by a modified cooperative-shear model of shear transformation zones that takes the adiabatic temperature rise into account. The model predicts well the present and other experimental data.
With the energy crisis and environmental pollution becoming more and more serious, it is urgent to develop renewable and clean energy. Hydrogen production from electrolyzed water is of great significance to solve the energy crisis and environmental problems in the future. Recently, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) materials have been widely studied in the electrocatalysis field, due to their unique layered structure, tunable metal species and highly dispersed active sites. Moreover, the LDHs supporting noble metal catalysts obtained through the topotactic transformation of LDHs precursors significantly reduce the energy barrier of electrolyzing water, showing remarkable catalytic activity, good conductivity and excellent durability. In this review, we give an overview of recent advances on LDHs supporting noble metal catalysts, from a brief introduction, to their preparation and modification methods, to an overview of their application in the electrocatalysis field, as well as the challenges and outlooks in this promising field on the basis of current development.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
