With the rapid increase in energy consumption worldwide, the development of renewable and alternative energy sources can sustain long-term development in the energy field. Hydrogen (H2), which is one of the clean chemical fuels, has the highest weight energy density and its combustion byproduct is only water. Among the various methods of producing hydrogen source, water electrolysis is a process that can effectively produce H2. However, it is difficult for commercialization of water electrolysis for H2 production due to the high cost and low abundance of noble metal-based cathodic electrode used for highly efficiency. Several studies have been conducted to reduce noble metal loading and/or completely replace them with other materials to overcome these obstacles. Among them, stainless steel contains many components of transition metals (Ni, Cr, Co) but have sluggish reaction kinetics and small active surface area. In this study, the problem of stainless steel was to be solved by utilizing the electrocatalytic properties of silver nanoparticles on the electrode surface, and electrodes were easily fabricated through the electrodeposition process. In addition, the surface shape, elemental properties, and HER activity of the electrode was analyzed by comparing it with the commercialized silver nanoparticle-coated invasive electrodes from Inanos (Inano-Ag-IE) through the plasma coating process. As a result, silver nanoparticle-coated conventional electrode (Ag-CE) fabricated through electrodeposition confirmed high HER activity and stability. However, the Inano-Ag-IE showed low HER activity as silver nanoparticles were not found. We encourage further research on the production process of such products for sustainable energy applications.

In this work, a new eco-friendly method for the treatment of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) as a candidate for food packaging applications is proposed. Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) was modified by bacterial cellulose nanofibers (BC) using a melt compounding technique and by plasma treatment or zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticle plasma coating for better properties and antibacterial activity. Plasma treatment preserved the thermal stability, crystallinity and melting behavior of PHB‒BC nanocomposites, regardless of the amount of BC nanofibers. However, a remarkable increase of stiffness and strength and an increase of the antibacterial activity were noted. After the plasma treatment, the storage modulus of PHB having 2 wt % BC increases by 19% at room temperature and by 43% at 100 °C. The tensile strength increases as well by 21%. In addition, plasma treatment also inhibits the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli by 44% and 63%, respectively. The ZnO plasma coating led to important changes in the thermal and mechanical behavior of PHB‒BC nanocomposite as well as in the surface structure and morphology. Strong chemical bonding of the metal nanoparticles on PHB surface following ZnO plasma coating was highlighted by infrared spectroscopy. Moreover, the presence of a continuous layer of self-aggregated ZnO nanoparticles was demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy, ZnO plasma treatment completely inhibiting growth of Staphylococcus aureus. A plasma-treated PHB‒BC nanocomposite is proposed as a green solution for the food packaging industry.

The development of aerospace engineering and mechanical engineering directly depends on the development of new metal materials and advanced technologies. The problem of creating materials and their types of processing to increase the level of operational properties is relevant in connection with the complication and tightening of working conditions of modern technologies. One of the most important tasks of contemporary aircraft construction is to increase the operational properties of the surface layer. The purpose of the article is to elucidate the effect of high-current electron beams of microsecond duration on changes in the surface layers of the heat-resistant multicomponent ion-plasma coating Ni-Cr-Al-Y under various conditions. Using a complex of metallophysical research methods, the physicochemical and structural-phase states of the surface layer were studied before and after modification of the samples. These samples were coated with heat-resistant condensed ion-plasma coatings of three different compositions using nine high-current electron beams in 9 modes with different values of electron energy and number of pulses in the selected interval of electron energy. An analysis of the structural phase changes occurring during modification was carried out. Cylindrical samples of targets made of heat-resistant nickel alloy ZhS36 coated with ion-plasma condensed multicomponent coating SDP-2 + VSDP-16. These samples were used according to serial technology, both with subsequent modification using highcurrent electron beams and without modification. It was found that chromium in the initial state is unevenly distributed: chromium is present in the particles; the matrix is depleted in chromium. The research results can be useful for scientists to study the properties of heat-resistant multicomponent ion-plasma coatings Ni-Cr-Al-Y and the effect of high-current electron beams on it, as well as for the manufacture of more heat-resistant materials in aerospace engineering and mechanical engineering.

In the process of plasma surface hardening, coatings based on a mixture of CuSn alloy and 10/20 % OK 84.78 additive with high hardness were obtained. The study of the microstructures of the coatings showed that the content of the austenite phase decreases with an increase in the content of chromium carbide in the composition. The influence of the acidity parameter on the corrosion resistance of the alloyed surface layer with the composition of the mixture of alloys CuSn and the coating of the welding electrode OK 84.78 was evaluated. Corrosion control in 3% NaCl solutions with different pH values showed that the plasma coating has high corrosion resistance at pH = 7 and decreases by 2 times at pH = 3. An increase in the chromium content leads to an increase in the corrosion potential, and the presence of cracks leads to an increase in the corrosion current density.
