Speech Title: Bi-axial alignment of REBa2Cu3O7 superconductors in the oscillation type modulated rotating magnetic field

Abstract: Epitaxial growth is the typical and practical process for the formation of triaxial aligned and densified microstructures, which is used also for the production of REBa2Cu3O7 (RE123) superconductor (SC) tapes. However, one of the issues in the SC tape is its high material cost. Recently, a modulated rotating magnetic field (MRF) has been reported as the magnetic field in which the triaxial/biaxial aligned microstructure can be formed for grains with triaxial magnetic anisotropy. In principle, this MRF technique is a room-temperature process and is useful for fabrication of not only triaxially aligned polycrystals but also composites containing triaxially aligned fillers. Moreover, there are various types of MRF at the current stage, such as intermittent rotation (IM) type [1], angular-speed modulation type [2], linear-drive type [3] and so on. In this work, our group focuses on the oscillation (OS) type MRF [4]. Its advantages are that the OS process includes both static field and rotating field components, the two components are determined by the oscillation angle (胃) systematically, and the SC electromagnet with 10 T is available. Our group investigated the biaxial orientation degrees of Y123 and Er123 powder samples aligned under the OS type MRF with controlling 胃 and magnetic field strength.

Speech Title: Material Durability and Performance: Assessing Key Properties for Enhanced Functionality

Abstract: Durability and performance of materials are crucial for the reliability and efficiency of products in various industries. Key properties such as mechanical strength, thermal stability, wear resistance, and adaptability to the environment play a crucial role in longevity and functional effectiveness. In the field of functional apparel, properties such as moisture wicking, breathability, stretchability, and abrasion resistance determine effectiveness and longevity, making material selection critical to optimizing the wearer's performance. To gain a comprehensive insight into the behavior of materials, the influence of different polymer yarns and their changes under combined ageing factors must be investigated. While recycled polyester yarn has advantages in terms of sustainability and higher tensile strength, the results suggest that conventional polyester yarn is more advantageous due to its higher abrasion resistance, smoother surface texture, and better elasticity retention after ageing. Research on polymer aging also highlights the impact of environmental influences on key material properties such as topography, thickness, moisture management, elongation and bursting strength, showing that thickness increases, elongation decreases and moisture absorption is impaired in sun-exposed materials. However, spectroscopic investigations (ATR-FTIR) indicate that the chemical structure of the polyester has not demonstrably changed. These findings emphasize the need for product-centred ageing protocols and innovative material design to ensure long-lasting, high-performance solutions, especially in the competitive sportswear industry.

Speech Title: Role of pore geometry of Ca1+xAl1-xLaxO3 composite catalyst supported on MCM-41 in selective glycerol etherification to lower molecular weight polyglycerols as potential oxygenated fuel additives

Abstract: Glycerol is abundantly produced by biodiesel as well as other downstream oleochemical industries and its industrial uses are rather limited to the extent that it is regarded as a waste to be managed. Polyglycerols have high potential to be used as an oxygenated additives in fuel in which they are compounds that contain oxygen to be blended with fuels to improve combustion efficiency and reduce emissions. Especially diglycerol and triglycerol, they are potential products towards making fuels greener and also of industrial importance in many other applications. However, selective production of through catalytic means often subject to a few drawbacks. A novel heterogeneous catalyst was prepared by means of a co-precipitation method and its activity in selective glycerol etherification was demonstrated. Lanthanum (La):calcium (Ca) ratio, temperature, and the duration of calcination positively influenced the conversion of glycerol. A regression model was established to predict the effect of calcination conditions and La:Ca ratio on glycerol conversion. After 8 h of reaction, a conversion of 81.6 % was achieved under atmospheric pressure at 250 鎺矯, 3.5 wt. % of catalyst and with a La to Ca ratio of 1:2.7. The catalyst was subjected to a thermal treatment at 560 鎺矯 for 4.5 h. The catalyst characterization revealed well-mixed oxides with desirable properties such as sufficient porosity and surface area. It also showed that the formation of the O閳ユ弲a閳ユ彊 functional group sitting on the surface of the catalyst facilitated high glycerol conversion. The synthesized catalyst with excellent porosity and stability area was promising for glycerol etherification.

Speech Title: The Impact of Temperature on the Physical and Electrochemical Characteristics of Carbon-Based Cacao Pods to Increase the Supercapacitor's Specific Capacitance and Surface Area

Abstract: The physical and electrochemical characteristics of monolithic carbon-based cacao peels have been analysed numerous times in preparation for their use in supercapacitors. Thus, examining the connection between pore diameter, surface area, and specific capacitance was the primary goal of this investigation. By utilizing the activation temperature range of 600 degrees celsius, 700 degrees celsius, 800 degrees celsius, and 900 degrees celsius, the changes in pore diameter were discovered. To guarantee that the electrode's natural porosity would not be disturbed by adhesives, the carbon electrode was manufactured. Physical parameters examined include (i) thermal properties, (ii) surface morphology, (iii) element composition, (iv) crystallinity attributes, and (v) N2 gas adsorption-desorption isotherm. Moreover, Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) was employed as the electrochemical characteristic to determine the specific capacitance. The optimum specific capacitance value was obtained at a temperature of 700 degrees celsius, which was 140.2 F/g. The higher the temperature, the larger the pore size. This shows that the pore size increases with increasing temperature. And the specific capacitance value increases as the pore size decreases. Analysis of the degree of crystallinity, thermal resistance, elemental content, and surface morphology provided support for this research.

Speech Title: Effect of scan parameters on the wear behaviour of additively manufactured graphene-reinforced stainless steel composites

Abstract: Graphene-reinforced metal matrix composites have gained significant interest due to their potential to enhance mechanical and tribological performance. In the context of additive manufacturing, especially the laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB) process, optimizing process parameters is crucial to fully harness these benefits. This study aims to investigate the influence of two key PBF-LB parameters, scan speed and scan strategy, on the wear behaviour of graphene-reinforced stainless steel (Gr-SS316L) composites. A comparative assessment with bare SS316L was carried out to understand the role of graphene as reinforcement and process parameters in tailoring wear resistance.
Gr-SS316L and SS316L samples were fabricated under varying scan parameters to study their wear behaviour. Low-load tribological testing was performed under four different normal loads, keeping sliding speed and distance constant. Post-wear characterization involved multi-scale microscopy for evaluating wear tracks and counter surfaces, alongside Raman spectroscopy to examine the composition and structure of tribolayers formed during wear.
The results revealed that the tailored scan parameters significantly influenced densification, microstructure, and consequently, the wear resistance of the composites. Gr-SS316L consistently outperformed SS316L, demonstrating relatively lower wear rates and the formation of stable, graphene-reinforced tribolayers that contributed to improved wear performance. It was found that the addition of graphene has improved the wear resistance of SS316L by approximately 78%.
In conclusion, the study underscores the critical role of both processing parameters and graphene reinforcement in enhancing the tribological behaviour of Gr-SS316L composites fabricated by PBF-LB. The insights gained offer valuable guidelines for designing wear-resistant metal-matrix composites via additive manufacturing.

Speech Title: Improving Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells: The Role of Organic Dye Structures in Performance and Stability

Abstract: Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are a promising third-generation solar technology, featuring a nanomaterial-based photoanode, dye absorbers, electrolyte, and counter electrodes. While efficient indoors, their outdoor performance declines as sunlight raises internal temperatures, accelerating device degradation. Chalcone and organosilver dye molecules offer significant potential in enhancing dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) performance. Chalcone derivatives, with their 伪,尾-unsaturated ketone structure, exhibit broad absorption, tunable energy levels, and reduced charge recombination, facilitating efficient electron injection into the conduction band when adsorbed onto electron transport layers (ETL). Meanwhile, Organosilver derivatives also further improve DSSC efficiency through plasmonic properties that enhance light absorption and charge transfer, minimizing electron-hole recombination. The synergy between these molecules provides a promising pathway for optimizing DSSC stability and energy conversion efficiency. Overcoming challenges like aggregation and stability is key to optimizing DSSC performance. Chalcone dyes enhance charge separation, while organosilver derivatives improve light absorption, making them promising candidates for sustainable energy solutions. Continuous interdisciplinary efforts will be essential in unlocking their full potential.

Speech Title: Multiscale Modeling of Nanostructured Materials: Stress-Guided Growth and Deformation Mechanisms

Abstract: This study presents recent advancements in multiscale computational modeling of nanostructured materials, with a focus on the stress-driven growth and deformation behavior of metallic nanowires and thin-film nanostructures. Using finite element simulations and continuum-scale analysis, we investigate the formation of vertically aligned single-crystal aluminum nanowires under focused ion beam (FIB)-induced stress gradients. The simulations reveal that localized stress fields act as driving forces for atomic diffusion, and the role of grain orientation and size-quantified through Schmid's law and the Hall-Petch relationship-determines the nucleation sites and growth direction.
Additionally, impurity-induced pinning effects are shown to influence anisotropic stress relaxation, enabling controlled nanowire alignment and density. The findings are supported by experimental observations and provide a theoretical framework for nanowire forest fabrication. The study also extends to nanopillar formation from alloy thin films and the mechanics of nanowires under deformation, offering insights into performance optimization of nanomaterials. These results contribute to the foundational understanding necessary for designing next-generation nanoscale systems, with implications for applications in electronics, energy devices, and biomedical materials.

Speech Title: High-Performance Aqueous Zinc-Metal Batteries Based on Hydrogen Bond Modulation

Abstract: Compared with traditional organic - system batteries such as lithium - ion batteries, aqueous zinc metal batteries have higher safety. In addition, the use of aqueous electrolytes also provides significant competitiveness: (1) low cost, (2) environmental friendliness, (3) excellent rate performance, and (4) high safety. Therefore, aqueous rechargeable batteries have received unprecedented attention as potential candidates for large - scale energy storage systems. However, the dendrite growth and side - reaction problems of metal anodes, the low specific capacity, material dissolution, and sluggish electrochemical reaction kinetics of cathode materials, as well as a series of problems derived from water decomposition in aqueous electrolytes, have hindered the further development of aqueous zinc metal batteries. To address these issues, we optimized hydrogen bonds either within the electrode materials or in the electrolyte through a hydrogen - bond regulation strategy, ultimately achieving a highly stable zinc metal anode and cathode materials with excellent electrochemical performance. Meanwhile, by using advanced in-situ and ex-situ characterization techniques combined with theoretical calculations, we systematically investigated the influence of hydrogen bonds on electrode materials, the energy storage process, and the electrolyte environment. We deeply revealed the correlation between hydrogen - bond regulation and electrochemical performance optimization, providing an important reference for the development of high - performance aqueous batteries.
