A WO3/CeO2-ZrO2 catalyst system was discovered for selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3; the catalyst (10 wt% WO3 loading) showed nearly 100% NOx conversion in a temperature range of 200-500 degrees C, at a space velocity of 90 000 h(-1) in a simulated diesel exhaust containing 550 ppm NOx (NO : NO2 feed ratio at 1.0), 10 vol% H2O and 10 vol% CO2; the catalyst also exhibited high temperature stability.
Surface coatings can enhance the mechanical and functional properties of substrates and keep good balance between specific mechanical properties and sufficient surface performance of the components. Coatings composed of high entropy alloys (HEAs) and HEA‐based materials, including metallic, ceramics, and composites have attracted the global attention and developed rapidly over the last decade, owing to their outstanding properties. Here, the authors provide a critical review of the state‐of‐the‐art for HEA‐based coatings, aiming to address the related conceptions, designing principles, microstructural, and mechanical evolutions during fabrication and post‐treatments process. The surface properties which are not limited to anti‐corrosion, anti‐radiation, and anti‐diffusion and their underlying mechanisms are analyzed. The development tendency and future applications are classified and discussed, including the basic researches about HEAs, the regulations of fabrication techniques and the exploring of functional properties of HEA‐based coatings. Due to their superior mechanical and functional potentials as well as abundant element‐constitutions of designing, surface coatings composed of HEA‐based materials are considered to have promising applications in engineering and industrial manufacturing.
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.
