Abstract Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) have been receiving extensive attention in the community of physics and materials science due to their attractive properties. The traditional trial-and-error approach is inefficient in designing good BMGs, then it is imperative to elaborate a prediction scheme to accelerate the development of...

Abstract This study presents a novel hybrid deep neural network (DNN) with the White Shark optimization (WSO) algorithm to predict and optimize the gas sensing performance of Ni0.6−xMgxCo0.4Fe2O4 nanoparticles at different sizes (x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5). In order to create Ni0.6−xMgxCo0.4Fe2O4, the sol–gel process was employed,...

Abstract In this work, we present the preparation of NaTaO3/WO3 systems, a broad-bandgap and a narrow-bandgap semiconductor, respectively, for photocatalytic applications. The samples were prepared by two different methods, microwave-assisted and conventional hydrothermal method, with different NaTaO3/WO3 molar ratios. All samples...

Abstract The difference effect and hydrogen evolution behavior of pure Mg in alkaline NH4+ containing solutions are systematically investigated. The Mg electrode exhibits a positive difference effect, rather the traditional negative difference effect, with the anomalous hydrogen evolution in the alkaline 0.1 M...

Abstract Optoelectronic devices are being extensively employed nowadays that are vital to diverse range of the appliances. The exploration of apposite materials for such efficient devices appears to be challenging. So, this study recommends novel combinations of chalcogenides as high energy materials that are seldom ever described....

Abstract The synthesis of Bisphenol A Glutaraldehyde Phenolic Resin (BPA-GA PF) was carried out under alkaline conditions using Bisphenol, A (BPA) and Glutaraldehyde (GA) as raw materials, with n-butanol serving as the solvent. Based on the aforementioned information, the researchers prepared modified BPA-GA PF resins by incorporating...
