TY - JOUR A1 - Michna, A. A1 - Pomorksa, A. A1 - Özcan Sandikcioglu, Özlem T1 - Biocompatible Macroion/Growth Factor Assemblies for Medical Applications N2 - Growth factors are a class of proteins that play a role in the proliferation (the increase in the number of cells resulting from cell division) and differentiation (when a cell undergoes changes in gene expression becoming a more specific type of cell) of cells. They can have both positive (accelerating the normal healing process) and negative effects (causing cancer) on disease progression and have potential applications in gene therapy and wound healing. However, their short half-life, low stability, and susceptibility to degradation by enzymes at body temperature make them easily degradable in vivo. To improve their effectiveness and stability, growth factors require carriers for delivery that protect them from heat, pH changes, and proteolysis. These carriers should also be able to deliver the growth factors to their intended destination. This review focuses on the current scientific literature concerning the physicochemical properties (such as biocompatibility, high affinity for binding growth factors, improved bioactivity and stability of the growth factors, protection from heat, pH changes or appropriate electric charge for growth factor attachment via electrostatic interactions) of macroions, growth factors, and macroion-growth factor assemblies, as well as their potential uses in medicine (e.g., diabetic wound healing, tissue regeneration, and cancer therapy). Specific attention is given to three types of growth factors: vascular endothelial growth factors, human fibroblast growth factors, and neurotrophins, as well as selected biocompatible synthetic macroions (obtained through standard polymerization techniques) and polysaccharides (natural macroions composed of repeating monomeric units of monosaccharides). Understanding the mechanisms by which growth factors bind to potential carriers could lead to more effective delivery methods for these proteins, which are of significant interest in the diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative and civilization diseases, as well as in the healing of chronic wounds.

Corrosion progression and passive film evolution were analyzed using open circuit potential measurements, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Unlike short-term polarization tests, where CrCoNi exhibited intergranular corrosion, long-term immersion resulted in a stable, Cr-rich passive oxide layer. In contrast, CrMnFeCoNi formed a porous mixed oxide layer, increasing its susceptibility to degradation and revealing a distinct corrosion mechanism. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy tracking at weekly intervals showed that prolonged immersion led to the transformation of sulfide/sulfite species into a sulfate-containing surface film. This effect was only detectable in long-term corrosion studies. These findings provide new insights into the time-dependent degradation mechanisms of MPEAs and demonstrate that corrosion mechanisms differ significantly from short-term polarization tests. This highlights the need for long-term studies to properly assess material stability in practical applications.

Copper (Cu) has the potential to substantially improve the MIC resistance in alloys. In this study, high-entropy alloy (HEA) coatings containing Cu were deposited using DC (Direct Current) magnetron sputtering to enhance the corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of various substrates. Two CuCrFeMnNi HEA compositions in the form of bulk alloys and PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coatings, with 5% and 10% Cu, were analyzed for their microstructural, mechanical, and anticorrosive characteristics. Deposition parameters were varied to select the optimal values. Microstructural evaluations using SEM-EDS (scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy), XRD (X-ray diffraction), and AFM (atomic force microscopy) revealed uniform, dense coatings with good adhesion composed of dendritic and interdendritic BCC (body-centered cubic) and FCC (face centered cubic) structures, respectively. Microhardness tests indicated improved mechanical properties for the samples coated with developed HEAs. The coatings exhibited improved corrosion resistance in NaCl solution, the 10% Cu composition displaying the highest polarization resistance and lowest corrosion rate. These findings suggest that Cu-containing HEA coatings are promising candidates for applications requiring enhanced corrosion protection.

T1 - Mussel-Inspired Multivalent Linear Polyglycerol Coatings Outperform Monovalent Polyethylene Glycol Coatings in Antifouling Surface Properties N2 - Biofouling constitutes a major challenge in the application of biosensors and biomedical implants, as well as for (food) packaging and marine equipment. In this work, an antifouling surface coating based on the combination of mussel-inspired dendritic polyglycerol (MI-dPG) and an amine-functionalized block copolymer of linear polyglycerol (lPG−b−OA11, OA = oligo-amine) was developed. The coating was compared to a MI-dPG surface which was postfunctionalized with commercially available amine-terminated Polyethylene glycol (HO−PEG−NH2) of similar molecular weight. In the current work, These coatings were compared in their chemical stability, protein fouling characteristics, and cell fouling characteristics. The lPG−b−OA11-functionalized coating showed high chemical stability in both phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solutions and reduced the adhesion of fibrinogen from human plasma with 99% and the adhesion of human serum albumin with 96%, in comparison to the bare titanium dioxide substrate. Furthermore, the Proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was reduced with 85% when the lPG−b−OA11 system was compared to bare titanium dioxide. Additionally, a reduction of 94% was observed when the lPG−b−OA11 system was compared to tissue culture polystyrene.

The application of local electrochemical techniques such as scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) has opened new possibilities for the detection of corrosion products and activity on metallic surfaces. However, due to its stochastic nature, the analysis of pitting corrosion requires being at the right place at the right time. Scanning over large areas at a high resolution not only leads to long scan durations but also leaves many short-lived processes undetected. In this paper we present the combined automated operation of SECM and wire multi-electrodes connected to a multi-electrode analyzer (MMA). The inter-electrode currents between 25 wire electrodes connected via zero resistance ammeters (ZRA) are measured by the MMA at open circuit potential (OCP) and the electrodes reporting anodic currents are detected automatically to be analyzed by means of SECM. The results demonstrate the successful application of this methodology for the detection of unstable and stable pitting processes on 304 stainless steel in a corrosive aqueous environment.

For example, the highest reported corrosion rate for methanogens is 0.065 mm/yr. However, by investigating methanogen-induced microbiologically influenced corrosion (Mi-MIC) using an in-house developed versatile multiport flow test column, extremely high corrosion rates were observed. We analyzed a large set of carbon steel beads, which were sectionally embedded into the test columns as substrates for iron-utilizing methanogen Methanobacterium IM1. After 14 days of operation using glass beads as fillers for section separation, the highest average corrosion rate of Methanobacterium IM1 was 0.2 mm/yr, which doubled that of Desulfovibrio ferrophilus IS5 and Desulfovibrio alaskensis 16109 investigated at the same conditions. At the most corroded region, nearly 80% of the beads lost 1% of their initial weight (fast-corrosion), resulting in an average corrosion rate of 0.2 mm/yr for Methanobacterium IM1-treated columns. When sand was used as filler material to mimic sediment conditions, average corrosion rates for Methanobacterium IM1 increased to 0.3 mm/yr (maximum 0.52 mm/yr) with over 83% of the beads having corrosion rates above 0.3 mm/yr. Scanning electron images of metal coupons extracted from the column showed methanogenic cells were clustered close to the metal surface. Methanobacterium IM1 is a hydrogenotrophic methanogen with higher affinity to metal than H2. Unlike SRB, Methanobacterium IM1 is not restricted to the availability of sulfate concentration in the environment. Thus, the use of the multiport flow column provided a new insight on the corrosion potential of methanogens, particularly in dynamic conditions, that offers new opportunities for monitoring and development of mitigation strategies. Overall, this study shows under certain conditions methanogenic archaea can cause higher corrosion than SRB, specific quantifications, i.e., maximum, average, and minimum corrosion rates can be determined, and that spatial statistical evaluations of MIC can be carried out.

Here we investigate the electrochemical activity of two cultures grown in the presence and absence of Fe(III) citrate in the culture medium. The XANES spectra and the OCP data of the Fe sample incubated with the culture grown in absence of Fe(III) did not show any significant changes during twenty hours of monitoring. In the case of the culture grown in Fe(III) containing medium, an accelerated dissolution of the iron film was observed together with the formation of a mixed Fe(II)-Fe(III) hydroxide surface layer. The open circuit potential (OCP) steadily approached the free corrosion potential of iron in neutral chloride containing electrolytes, indicating a continuous dissolution process without passivation.

Passive films formed upon anodic polarisation, built of Al-based inner layer and (Cr, Fe, Mo)-based outer layer, had good protective properties. In particular, they prevented corrosion of the (Al, Ni)-rich BCC-B2 phase, which was observed under open-circuit conditions. Moderate amounts of Mo, up to x = 0.3, positively affected the passivation ability of AlCrFe2Ni2. Significant changes in microstructure and phase composition of the alloy at higher Mo concentrations (x = 0.6) resulted in deterioration of its corrosion resistance.

Considering their production volumes, their supporting role in nearly all industrial processes, and the impact of their sourcing and production on the environment, metals and alloys are and will be of prominent importance for the clean energy transition. The focus of materials discovery must move to more specialized, application-tailored green alloys that outperform the legacy materials not only in performance but also in sustainability and resource efficiency. This white paper summarizes a joint Canadian-German initiative aimed at developing a materials acceleration platform (MAP) focusing on the discovery of new alloy families that will address this challenge. We call our initiative the “Build to Last Materials Acceleration Platform” (B2L-MAP) and present in this perspective our concept of a three-tiered self-driving laboratory that is composed of a simulation-aided pre-selection module (B2L-select), an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven experimental lead generator (B2L-explore), and an upscaling module for durability assessment (B2L-assess). The resulting tool will be used to identify and subsequently demonstrate novel corrosion-resistant alloys at scale for three key applications of critical importance to an offshore, wind-driven hydrogen plant (reusable electrical contacts, offshore infrastructure, and oxygen evolution reaction catalysts).

T1 - Multiscale insights into fibroblast growth factor 23 adsorption on polyelectrolyte layers: From molecular properties to biointerfaces N2 - Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a clinically significant protein hormone regulating phosphate and vitamin D metabolism, with elevated levels linked to chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disorders, and impaired bone homeostasis. Despite its relevance as both a biomarker and a therapeutic target, its interactions with functional biomaterials remain poorly understood. In this work, we investigate the FGF23 adsorption on polyelectrolyte layers using a combination of theoretical modeling and experimental methods. Theoretical calculations provided insights into the protein's charge distribution and diffusion properties, while experimental measurements quantified its hydrodynamic diameter, electrophoretic mobility, and electrokinetic charge over a broad range of pH values. Microscale thermophoresis revealed quantitative binding affinities of FGF23 to hyaluronic acid, chitosan, and poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride). Adsorption studies on mica, silica, and polyelectrolyte mono- and bilayers showed that FGF23 binds to both negatively and positively charged substrates, with binding affinities following: hyaluronic acid < poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) < chitosan. Desorption occurred more readily from negatively charged surfaces (mica, silica and hyaluronic acid), indicating weaker interactions compared to positively charged layers. These results reveal fundamental aspects of protein –polyelectrolyte interactions and highlight the reversible binding capacity of FGF23 to negatively charged surfaces. Such adsorption behavior provides a physicochemical framework for considering FGF23-polyelectrolyte systems in the design of therapeutic carriers and bioactive materials. However, any direct relevance to wound healing, chronic kidney disease, or cardiovascular disorders remains prospective and requires dedicated biological validation.

The eighth generation of poly(amidoamine) dendrimers and branched polyethyleneimine possessing different shapes and polydispersity indexes were used for anchoring layer formation. Dynamic light scattering, electrophoresis, streaming potential measurements, optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy, and quartz crystal microbalance were applied to characterize the formation of mono- and bilayers. The unique combination of the employed techniques enabled detailed insights into the mechanism of the λ-car adsorption mainly controlled by electrostatic interactions. The results show that the macroion adsorption efficiency is strictly correlated with the value of the final zeta potentials of the anchoring layers, the transport type, and the initial bulk concentration of the macroions. The type of the macroion forming the anchoring layer had a minor impact on the kinetics of λ-car adsorption. Besides significance to basic science, the results presented in this paper can be used for the development of biocompatible and stable macroion multilayers of well-defined electrokinetic properties and structure.

A selection of macromolecules and self-assembledmonolayers (SAMs) of different chain lengths and functional groups were pre-pared and characterized by means of infrared spectroscopy in terms of theirchemistry. Surface energy and Zeta (ζ-) potential of the conditioning layers wasdetermined with contact angle and streaming current measurements.

Their local surface chemistry differs significantly from the bulk composition and their surfaces are subjected to ever changing environmental conditions. Thus, a thorough understanding of the mechanisms leading to material degradation and failure requires a detailed characterisation of the initial and final states as well as an adequate monitoring of the relevant properties as a function of time. Moreover, corrosion products tend to oxidize in contact with the atmosphere. Microbially influenced corrosion (MIC) poses a particular challenge regarding the experimental methods that can be used for the investigations. The use of highly sensitive methods of ultra-high vacuum surface analysis requires the removal of the biofilm, which leads to significant changes in the interfacial chemistry. In recent projects we applied X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) to investigate mechanisms of aqueous corrosion, high temperature corrosion and MIC processes of stainless steel and multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs). By combining in situ XANES studies on model thin films with ex situ XANES analysis of technical samples we aimed to obtain a holistic understanding of degradation processes. In this presentation we will summarize our results on the application of XANES to corrosion and MIC research with two case studies. In the first case study, in situ and ex situ XANES were used for the investigation of aqueous and high-temperature corrosion processes of alloys from FeNiCr-Mn MPEA family to clarify the role of Mn in determining the corrosion resistance and passive film formation. Our results indicate that Mn plays a major role in suppressing Fe oxidation. In the second example we have shown by means of in situ and ex situ XANES analysis that cultivation of metal reducing bacteria (MRB) in abundance of Fe(III) ions leads to a significant increase in electrochemical activity and thus, to an accelerated corrosion of the metallic substrate. This implies that bacterial colonies released from active corrosion sites might show a preconditioning effect and pose a higher corrosion risk.

Herein, an epoxy-like thin film is used as a model coating resembling the epoxy-based coatings and adhesives widely used in technical applications. Spin coating is used for the deposition of a 30 nm-thin bilayer (BL) composed of poly-(ethylenimine) (PEI) and poly[(o-cresyl glycidyl ether)-co-formaldehyde] (CNER). Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results confirm that the exposure of coated AA2024-T3 (AA) samples to the corrosive electrolyte solution does not cause the degradation of the polymer layer. In situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies are performed to monitor local corrosion processes at the buried interface of the epoxy-like film and the AA2024-T3 aluminum alloy surface in an aqueous electrolyte solution. Hydrogen evolution due to the reduction of water as the cathodic corrosion reaction leads to local blister formation. Based on the results of the complementary energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis performed at the same region of interest, most of the hydrogen evolved originates at the vicinity of Mg-containing intermetallic particles.

The morphology and chemical composition of the oxide layers formed on CrCoNi and CrMnFeCoNi were comparatively analyzed by scanning Kelvin probe microscopy (SKPFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and supported with chemical analysis by means of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The analysis of the 3p core level peaks showed that the oxide layer (native and after anodic passivation) on CrCoNi consisted mainly of Cr oxides, while the oxide layer on CrMnFeCoNi was primarily composed of a mixture of Cr and Fe oxides. In addition, XPS was utilized to assess the oxide layer thicknesses. These results were compared to the thicknesses obtained by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), with both approaches yielding values up to about 4 nm depending on the electrolyte and the alloy. Cyclic polarization measurements indicated superior corrosion resistance of CrCoNi in both aqueous environments compared to CrMnFeCoNi, as well as to AISI 304 stainless steel.

Using the equimolar CrCoNi alloy, we observe significant metal dissolution in a corrosive electrolyte (0.1 M NaCl, pH 2) concurrently with the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in the transpassive region despite the absence of hysteresis in polarization curves or other obvious corrosion indicators. We present a characterization scheme to delineate the contribution of OER and alloy dissolution, using scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) for OER-onset detection, and quantitative chemical analysis with inductively coupled-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and ultraviolet visible light (UV-Vis) spectroscopy to elucidate metal dissolution processes. In-situ electrochemical atomic force microscopy (EC-AFM) revealed that the transpassive metal dissolution on CrCoNi is dominated by intergranular corrosion. These results have significant implications for the stability of MPEAs in corrosion systems, emphasizing the necessity of analytically determining metal ions released from MPEA electrodes into the electrolyte when evaluating Faradaic efficiencies of OER catalysts. The release of transition metal ions not only reduces the Faradaic efficiency of electrolyzers but may also cause poisoning and degradation of membranes in electrochemical reactors. N2 - Multi-Hauptelement-Legierungen (MPEAs) gewinnen in der Korrosions- und Elektrokatalyseforschung aufgrund ihrer elektrochemischen Stabilität über einen breiten pH-Bereich und der Vielfalt der möglichen chemischen Zusammensetzungen zunehmend an Interesse. In unseren Untersuchungen mit der äquimolaren CrCoNi-Legierung in einem sauren Elektrolyten (0.1 M NaCl, pH 2) beobachteten wir eine signifikante Metallauflösung, die mit der Sauerstoffentwicklungsreaktion (OER) im transpassiven Bereich einhergeht, obwohl in zyklischen Polarisationskurven keine Hysterese auftrat oder andere offensichtliche Korrosionsindikatoren vorlagen. In diesem Artikel wird ein Charakterisierungskonzept eingeführt, dass die Beiträge der OER und der Legierungsauflösung differenziert. Hierfür kommt die elektrochemische Rastermikroskopie (SECM) zum Nachweis des Beginns der OER und die quantitative chemische Analyse mit induktiv gekoppelter Massenspektrometrie (ICP-MS) und UV/Vis-Spektrometrie zur Aufklärung der Metallauflösungsprozesse zum Einsatz. Die elektrochemische In situ-Atomkraftmikroskopie (EC-AFM) zeigte, dass die intergranulare Korrosion der dominierende Mechanismus der transpassive Metallauflösung von CrCoNi ist. Diese Ergebnisse besitzen erhebliche Auswirkungen für die Beurteilung der Stabilität von MPEAs in Korrosionssystemen und der Stromausbeute von OER-Katalysatoren auf der Basis von MPEAs. Die Daten unterstreichen die Notwendigkeit der analytischen Bestimmung von Metallionen, die von MPEA-Elektroden freigesetzt werden. Die Freisetzung von Übergangsmetallionen verringert nicht nur die Stromausbeute von Elektrolyseuren, sondern kann zu einer Schädigung von Membranen in elektrochemischen Reaktoren führen.

Several MPEAs have been studied for their general corrosion behavior, but studies on their dissolution in the high anodic “transpassive” potentials relevant for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and local corrosion behavior remained scarce. In this project we have investigated CrMnFeCoNi, FeCrNi and CrCoNi MPEAs in terms of their transpassive behavior in NaCl electrolytes and artificial seawater [1, 2]. We introduced a characterization procedure to distinguish the individual contributions of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and alloy dissolution [2]. This scheme utilizes scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) for detecting the onset of OER and employs quantitative chemical analysis methods, namely inductively coupled mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and ultraviolet-visible light (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, to elucidate the processes of metal dissolution. In-situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy (SKPFM) were used to analyze the corrosion morphology and surface potentials before, during, and after passivity breakdown. Our results clearly demonstrate the superior corrosion behavior of CrCoNi and FeCrNi MPEA in comparison to the CrFeMnCoNi HEA, as well as AISI 304 stainless steel. We have observed that significant OER occurs in parallel with metal dissolution on the CrCoNi and FeCrNi MPEA surfaces during anodic polarization at potentials relevant to water electrolysis. Most importantly, our findings underscore the necessity of analyzing metal ions dissolved into the electrolyte to accurately assess the Faradaic efficiencies of non-noble metal OER electrocatalysts. The presentation will summarize our characterization procedure and give an overview on the key properties of the studied MPEAs.  [1] A. Wetzel, M. von der Au, P.M. Dietrich, J. Radnik, O. Ozcan, J.

For instance, metal reducing bacteria (MRB) are capable of utilizing metal compounds in the passive layer on stainless steel as electron acceptors during their metabolism. This weakening of the passive film not only leads to an acceleration of the general corrosion processes, but also increases the susceptibility of stainless steels to pitting corrosion. Even though the electron transfer mechanisms are not yet fully understood, recent research shows that the secretion of electron shuttles like flavins contribute significantly to the extracellular electron transfer (EET). Electron shuttle molecules like riboflavin (RB) or flavin mononucleotide (FMN) are secreted by MRB after the transition from planktonic to sessile mode and exist in the biofilm at low concentrations. Therefore, they are precise early phase indicators of bacterial settlement. This project aims at clarifying the electrochemical interaction mechanisms of MRB with stainless steel surfaces, with a special focus on the role of the extracellular redox molecules. The analysis of corrosion processes as a function of chloride and flavin concentration have been performed by means of electrochemical methods. Due to the differences in their chemical structure, FMN and RB have shown significant differences in terms of their adsorption behavior and the stability of the formed films, which directly influences the electron transfer processes. Therefore, Electrochemical Quartz Crystal Microbalance (eQCM) studies have been performed on sputtered FeCr electrodes to investigate the adsorption/desorption kinetics of flavins. The results of electrochemical studies are complemented by the analysis of the changes in the passive film chemistry and the chemical composition of the adsorbed films by means of Fourier Transform Infrared Reflection Absorption Spectroscopy (FT-IRRAS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Changes in surface morphology have been investigated by means of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).The presentation will summarize our results on the degradation mechanisms of passive films on stainless steel surfaces in the presence of flavins and provide useful insights from a fundamental aspect for the understanding of the initial stages of microbiologically influenced corrosion.

Considering the sheer magnitude of detrimental effects, it is of pertinent interest to elucidate the interaction mechanisms of sessile bacteria with metal and metal oxide surfaces to facilitate the development of efficient antifouling strategies. A common constituent of microbial communities within aquatic and sedimentary settings, the Shewanella genus consists of facultatively aerobic, Gram-negative bacterium which exhibit exceptional plasticity in respiratory capacities. During aerobic conditions, Shewanella utilizes oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor; conversely, under anaerobic conditions, it is able to undertake respiration by reducing alternative terminal electron acceptors such as oxidized metals via extracellular electron transfer mechanisms not yet thoroughly discerned. The aim of this work is to explicate the mechanisms governing the initial bacterial adhesion and subsequent biofilm formation on metallic surfaces. To investigate this dynamic interplay, a combined approach has been followed which couples surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with electrochemical techniques using Shewanella sp. model biofilms. Gold nano-islands deposited on thin glass slides have been chosen as inert model substrates with good uniformity and high surface enhancement factor. Furthermore, the utilization of gold as substrate material not only allowed the differentiation of the sole effect of substrate polarization on bacterial attachment but also enabled a precise adjustment of the surface chemistry and surface energy by means of surface functionalization with organothiol self-assembled monolayers. The results present the correlation of the primary settlement rate of bacteria on metallic substrates with the environmental parameters such as electrolyte composition and pH as well as surface-related properties like hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity and polarization. With the overall strategic goal of transferring this methodology to technical systems the results provide the fundamental basis for the bottom-up design of anti-fouling surfaces.

In the last few years, efforts have been dedicated internationally to design self-driving-laboratories, also called Material Acceleration Platforms (MAPs). MAPs integrate material synthesis, characterization and testing modules into circular workflows through automation and use artificial intelligence (AI) for efficient and autonomous experiment design, property prediction and data analysis. We have established a MAP for corrosion research by automating diverse liquid operations, electrochemical testing and data evaluation, where the test results are interpreted via a machine learning (ML)-based backend. The workflows of the electrochemistry module are configured for electrodeposition of different alloys and subsequently performing electrochemical corrosion testing. The platform uses the results of the electrochemical tests to determine the next set of deposition parameters in a continuous and autonomous loop until the user-defined objectives are met. In this project we used the MAP to design new multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) as corrosion resistant electrode materials for H2O and CO2 electrolysis. One campaign contains a maximum of 144 runs. From each successful campaign top five leads and another five randomly selected materials proceed to upscaling either by electrodeposition at larger scale or as bulk ingots cast by means of arc-melting. With these samples, a detailed chemical and electrochemical characterization using surface analysis techniques was performed to validate the success of the MAP-based optimization. The presentation will give an overview of the design and build phases of our MAP, its modules and workflows. Moreover, we will summarize our results from the FeNiCrCuCoMo MPEA system.

Both ZnO films have been prepared using hydrothermal synthesis on hot-dip galvanized steel (HDG) surfaces by varying the precursor chemistry in order to control the film morphology. Poly (acrylic acid) (PAA) was used to improve the interfacial adhesion by modifying the morphology and surface chemistry of ZnO nanostructured films. The strong interaction of PAA from a dilute and neutral aqueous solution with the ZnO nanocrystallites was shown to significantly improve the interfacial adhesion by means of a nanoetching process. It was shown that the wet peel-forces correlate well with the considered morphology and surface chemistry.

To study the corresponding surface adhesive properties, the samples were coated with an epoxy amine adhesive. Peel tests under humid conditions indicated an increased interaction between the acidic pre-treated surface and the adhesive. The results of the SKP analysis show that the acidic cleaned substrates have the highest resistance to delamination, which can be explained by the shift of the interfacial electrode potential.

Considering the sheer magnitude of detrimental effects, it is of pertinent interest to elucidate the interaction mechanisms of sessile bacteria with metal and metal oxide surfaces to facilitate the development of efficient antifouling strategies. A common constituent of microbial communities within aquatic and sedimentary settings, the Shewanella genus consists of facultatively aerobic, Gram-negative bacterium which exhibit exceptional plasticity in respiratory capacities. During aerobic conditions, Shewanella utilizes oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor; conversely, under anaerobic conditions, it is able to undertake respiration by reducing alternative terminal electron acceptors such as oxidized metals via extracellular electron transfer mechanisms not yet thoroughly discerned. The aim of this work is to explicate the mechanisms governing the initial bacterial adhesion and subsequent biofilm formation on metallic surfaces. To investigate this dynamic interplay, a combined approach has been followed which couples surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with electrochemical techniques using Shewanella sp. model biofilms. Gold nano-islands deposited on thin glass slides have been chosen as inert model substrates with good uniformity and high surface enhancement factor. Furthermore, the utilization of gold as substrate material not only allowed the differentiation of the sole effect of substrate polarization on bacterial attachment but also enabled a precise adjustment of the surface chemistry and surface energy by means of surface functionalization with organothiol self-assembled monolayers. The results present the correlation of the primary settlement rate of bacteria on metallic substrates with the environmental parameters such as electrolyte composition and pH as well as surface-related properties like hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity and polarization. With the overall strategic goal of transferring this methodology to technical systems the results provide the fundamental basis for the bottom-up design of anti-fouling surfaces.

T1 - Influence of the BF3·O(C2H5)2 on the corrosion resistance of hybrid silica sol-gel coatings deposited on flash-PEO-treated Mg alloy N2 - Achieving highly cross-linked sol-gel coatings to provide effective corrosion protection of Mg alloys remains a challenging task. The aim of this work is to evaluate the effect boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (BF3·O(C2H5)2) as catalyst to epoxy group in a GPTMS/TEOS/SiO2 sol and assesses its effect on the structure and corrosion resistance properties of Flash-PEO coated pre-treated Mg alloy. 29Si MAS NMR and 13C CPMAS-NMR demonstrated that (BF3·O(C2H5)2) efficiently promotes the epoxy polymerization of the GPTMS and the formation of a hybrid silica network. However, the amount of (BF3·O(C2H5)2) should be optimized to minimize the formation of undesirable byproducts such as ethyl ether terminal units. Therefore, GPTMS/TEOS/SiO2 sols containing different amounts of (BF3·O(C2H5)2) were synthesized and deposited onto the Flash-PEO coated Mg alloy, leading to bilayer systems with a total thickness of ⁓8 μm. The corrosion behavior of the bilayer coatings in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution was evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and Scanning Kelvin probe microscope (SKPFM). The results revealed that the barrier properties of the coatings with enhanced cross-linked structure showed impedance modulus (│Z│f:0.1 Hz) approximately four orders of magnitude higher than the bare magnesium alloy and two orders of magnitude higher than the F-PEO coated sample. A suitable compromise between (BF3·O(C2H5)2) amount and sol-gel film structure is required to obtain a more durable barrier coating capable to extend the protective lifespan of the magnesium alloy.

The traditional optimization of the functional properties of alloys primarily relies on microalloying techniques. The advent of MPEAs has significantly broadened the chemical landscape available for exploration, approaching near-infinite possibilities. Consequently, innovative methodologies are imperative for discovering new alloys that exhibit properties customized for specific applications, simultaneously mitigating dependence on critical minerals. One promising approach for rapid screening of possible alloy chemistries and exploring the hitherto untouched regions of ternary, quaternary or higher order phase diagrams is the use of diffusion couples and multiples. The present study focusses on the exploration of quaternary multi-principle-element alloys (MPEAs) using diffusion multiples. We established diffusion systems by combining an equimolar ternary alloy (FeNiCr) with single diffusing elements Mn, Mo and Ta. Using ThermoCalc® and DICTRA® simulations, we determined suitable parameters (temperature and diffusion time) that would lead to the formation of single-phase alloys and diffusion lengths (>50 μm) that suit the application of high-resolution characterization methods. Microstructural and compositional characterization was performed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA) and correlated to local mechanical properties evaluated by means of nanoindentation. Selected compositions from the diffusion couples were recast and homogenized to obtain bulk samples for the assessment of high-temperature and aqueous corrosion properties. Our results indicate that the ThermoCalc simulations have a good predictive power for crystallographic phases for Mn and Mo containing MPEAs derived from the diffusion couples. Moreover, our data on FeCrNi-Ta system provides valuable experimental input for respective databases necessary for simulation of phase diagrams. The presentation will summarize our methodology using diffusion couples as an efficient tool for exploring compositional spaces of MPEAs in the search for novel alloy chemistries and the results of our correlative study on the mechanical and corrosion properties of the selected quaternary systems.

In this context, we have analysed the metal, fuel and microbiology of a fouled diesel tank which had been in service for over 30 years. The fuel itself, a B7 biodiesel blend, was not degraded, and—although no free water phase was visible—contained a water content of ~60 ppm. The microbial community was dominated by the fungus Amorphotheca resinae, which formed thick, patchy biofilms on the tank bottom and walls. The tank sheets, composed of galvanised carbon steel, were locally corroded underneath the biofilms, up to a depth of a third of the sheet thickness. On the biofilm-free surfaces, Zn coatings could still be observed. Taken together, A. resinae was shown to thrive in these water-poor conditions, likely enhancing corrosion through the removal of the protective Zn coatings.

The results indicate that biofilm formation was promoted on samples preconditioned in electrolytes containing minute amounts of flavins. On the basis of the XANES results, the corrosion processes are controlled by the iron-rich outer layer of the passive film. Biofilm formation resulted in a cathodic shift of the open circuit potential and a protective effect in terms of pitting corrosion. The samples preconditioned in the absence of flavins have shown delayed pitting and the samples preconditioned in the presence of flavins did not show any pitting in a window of −0.3- to +0.0-V overpotential in the bacterial medium. The results indicate that changes in the passive film chemistry induced by the presence of minute amounts of flavins during a mild anodic polarization can change the susceptibility of stainless steel surfaces to microbially influenced corrosion.

By using SECM‐based tip substrate voltammetry (TSV) in combination with the chemical analysis of the electrolyte, we were able to differentiate between anodic metal dissolution and oxygen evolution in the transpassive range. Our investigations have shown that CrCoNi has a significantly higher corrosion resistance compared to CrMnFeCoNi. In the studied alkaline environment, a transpassive oxide film is formed on the surface of CrCoNi during secondary passivation. This transpassive oxide film appears to play a significant role in oxygen evolution, as the increase in TSV currents at the microelectrode coincides with the corresponding current density plateau of the voltametric current trace. The formation of the transpassive oxide film was not observed in previous studies conducted in acidic environments. Moreover, the alkaline electrolyte induced a positive hysteresis and mild pitting corrosion, in addition to intergranular corrosion, which was the sole corrosion process observed at acidic pH levels. These findings enhance the understanding of the processes governing the transpassivity of CrMnFeCoNi and CrCoNi MPEAs in alkaline environments and have potential implications for the development of application‐tailored corrosion‐resistant MPEAs.

With the increasing utilization of multi-material structures in the automotive and aerospace industry, it is of great scientific and technical interest to understand the processes leading to interface degradation and to develop novel strategies to increase corrosion and delamination resistance. The aim of this project is to develop thin epoxy-based films and their carbon nanofiller loaded composites on aluminium alloy AA2024-T3 as a model system and to investigate their interfacial stability under corrosive and coupled corrosive-mechanical load. Spin coating was used for the layer-by-layer deposition of poly[(o-cresyl glycidyl ether)-co-formaldehyde] and poly-(ethylenimine) bi-layers. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) results indicate a very homogeneous and dense film with low surface roughness. Carbon nanofillers were introduced either by mixing into the coating components or in between individual layers to control the separation between the carbon nanofillers and alloy surface. The film chemistry and barrier properties were characterized by means of spectroscopic and electrochemical methods, respectively. The degradation and delamination behavior of the epoxy-based films was characterized by means of in situ AFM corrosion experiments. The quantitative imaging (QI) mode allowed the observation of hydrogen-generation induced blister formation during exposure to corrosive electrolyte and how the local corrosion processes evolved with exposure time. Complementary energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis was performed to correlate the corrosion behavior with the different intermetallic particle chemistries and distributions. The presentation will summarize our results on the effect of interface chemistry and carbon nanofiller – alloy separation on the initiation of local corrosion processes on thin film covered AA2024-T3 aluminium alloys.

For this purpose, in this work, a tensile module capable of uniaxial stretching and compression with up to 5 kN force was integrated into an AFM stage. The elimination of the need for sample unmounting and remounting and the resulting possibility of keeping the sample under constant mechanical load during AFM measurements not only enables a precise positioning of the area of interest but also allows for the analysis of processes in the elastic deformation regime. This methodology was demonstrated for two case studies. Scanning Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (SKPFM) was used as the main tool to characterize the deformation behavior. Moreover, a flexible electrochemical measurement cell was used to enable electrochemical analysis by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV) during AFM measurements at different levels of strain. The in situ AFM results are complemented by microstructure analysis by means of electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). In the first case study, the deformation induced delamination of a thin organic coating on AA2024 T3 aluminium alloy was investigated as a function of alloy surface treatment. The formation of cracks in the insulating passive film enabled an early detection of deformation processes by means of SKPFM. The second case study focused on the comparison of corrosion and deformation behavior of conventional and additively manufactured 316 stainless steels. In comparison to the conventional 316 stainless steel, the effect of processing was clearly detectable on the additively manufactured material as zones of inhomogeneous potential, which also affected the initiation of local corrosion processes. The contribution will provide detailed information on the new AFM setup and summarize our results from both case studies.

The complementary electrochemical characterization revealed a preferential growth of an oxide/hydroxide iron‐rich film that is responsible for an altered pit initiation and nucleation behavior. These findings suggest that as the corrosion behavior is determined by the interplay of the chemical and electronic properties, only a mild anodic polarization in the presence of redox‐active molecules is able to alter the chemical and electronic structure of the passive film formed on stainless steel AISI 304. This helps to achieve a profound understanding of the mechanisms of microbially influenced corrosion (MIC) and especially the possible effects of the redox‐active biomolecules, as they may play an important role in the corrosion susceptibility of stainless steel surfaces.

The vastness of the compositional and structural space in CCMats propels the field into an expanding exploratory state. To reconcile functional and structural performance across this immense parameter space remains an open challenge. This Perspective evaluates the opportunities and challenges associated with harnessing chemical complexity across a broad spectrum of applications, such as hydrogen storage, ionic conductors, catalysis, magnetics, dielectrics, semiconductors, optical materials, and multifunctional structural systems. It is delineated how three central design strategies: targeted substitution (SUB), defect engineering (DEF), and diversity management (DIV) enable the reconciliation of high functional performance with long-term structural stability and environmental responsibility. Advances in computational thermodynamics, microstructure simulations, machine learning, and multimodal characterization are accelerating the exploration and optimization of CCMats, while robust data infrastructures and automated synthesis workflows are emerging as essential tools for navigating their complex compositional space. By fostering cross-disciplinary knowledge transfer and embracing data-driven design, CCMats are poised to deliver next-generation materials solutions that address urgent technological, energy, and environmental demands.
