Abstract Zinc, a soft material with low melting point and high corrosion resistance, was coated onto AZ31B Mg alloy using different cold spraying process parameters. The physical mechanical properties of the resulting Zn/AZ31B samples were then investigated to explore effect parameters on microstructural characteristics. results obtained via X-ray diffraction show formation an intermetallic at ...

We report herein Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 (CZTS) thin film solar cells with 6.75% conversion efficiency, without an antireflection coating. The CZTS precursors have been prepared by cosputtering using three different targets onMo-coated substrates: copper (Cu), tin sulfide (SnS), and zinc (Zn). The postsulfurization was carried out at different pressures in a H 2 S/N 2 environment at 550C for one hour. A c...

Understanding the molecular basis of zinc (Zn) uptake and transport in staple cereal crops is critical for improving both Zn content and tolerance to low-Zn soils. This study demonstrates the importance of group F bZIP transcription factors and ZIP transporters in responses to Zn deficiency in wheat (Triticum aestivum). Seven group F TabZIP genes and 14 ZIPs with homeologs were identified in he...

Abstract Various experimental analyses on hydrogen evolution, absorption, and cracking behaviors were conducted to gain a fundamental understanding of the embrittlement ultrastrong steel sheets with galvanized (GI) galvannealed (GA) coatings. The evolution absorption are controlled primarily by potential differences between coating exposed substrate, corrosion-induced damage pattern coating. hi...
