Insight - Material Science, Vol.5, No.1, 2022; 425 Views, 104 PDF Downloads

This research evaluates how different electrolytes affect the voltage output of a battery. As one of the few types of devices capable of storing electrical energy, batteries are extremely efficient and reliable. They are widely adopted in a great number of devices, hence they are important to our daily life. How to construct better batteries will always be one of the most crucial challenges of our developments in energy. In this research we tested two different salt solutions, NaCl solution and KOH solution, on a Cu-Zn cell to see which works better.

Cultivation of Instrumental Analysis Ability for Postgraduates Majoring in Materials Science and Engineering

by Bo Liu

Insight - Material Science, Vol.5, No.1, 2022; 300 Views, 23 PDF Downloads

Materials science and engineering, as a major of materials, mainly trains students to have professional abilities in the fields of metal materials science and engineering. The major has strong theoretical basic knowledge and humanistic feelings. The major of materials science and engineering mainly studies the composition, structure, processing technology, performance and application of materials. During the research tasks of graduate students, it is necessary to test the properties of materials, characterize the morphology and structure of materials, explore and analyze the formation and preparation mechanism of materials. According to the different research directions of materials, the use and requirements of experimental instruments are different. Therefore, setting up corresponding instrument analysis courses for graduate students majoring in materials and cultivating instrument analysis ability are the key links in the training of graduate students majoring in materials science and engineering.

Reform and Practice of the Course “Application of Computer in Materials Science”

by Li Li

Insight - Material Science, Vol.5, No.1, 2022; 247 Views, 28 PDF Downloads

The application of computer in materials science, as a professional basic course for undergraduates majoring in materials science and engineering, is both theoretical and operational. At the same time, the practicality and applicability of this course are also obvious. Therefore, there are great challenges for teachers’ teaching and students’ learning. Based on this, combined with the teaching characteristics of the subject, this article explores the teaching reform and practice in terms of teaching content, teaching means and teaching methods, in order to improve the training of high-level applied talents in colleges and universities. The curriculum reform has changed the traditional one-way knowledge transmission teaching mode, which is of great benefit to cultivating students’ engineering literacy, engineering practice ability and innovation ability.
