Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Magnetic alloys and compounds constitute one of the most prominent classes of materials with many present and emerging applications, including permanent magnets, soft magnets, magnetic recording media, sensors, magnetic refrigerators, and spin-transport-based electronics. Some magnetic alloys exhibit novel phenomena, such as half-metallic and spin-gapless semiconducting properties, colossal magnetoresistive effect, giant magnetocaloric effect, magnetoelastic effect and non-collinear magnetic texture. One attractive class of materials exhibiting these novel phenomena are Heusler alloys. The discovery of materials exhibiting such properties has been possible due to recent advances in theoretical understanding, computational ability and materials processing.

This Special Issue is expected to collect articles reporting original results on the fabrication, characterization, experimental investigation, theoretical understanding and practical application of magnetic alloys exhibiting some of above-mentioned novel phenomena, as well as review papers about particular topics.

In this work, the iron oxide (Fe2O3) nanoflakes on carbon cloth (Fe2O3@CC) were triumphantly prepared and served as the electrode of supercapacitors. By applying an external magnetic field, we first find that the magnetic field could suppress the polarization phenomenon of electrochemical performance. Then, the influences of the mono-/bi-valent cations on the electrochemical properties of the Fe2O3@CC were investigated under a large external magnetic field (1 T) in this work. The chemical valences of the cations in the aqueous electrolytes (LiNO3 and Ca(NO3)2) have almost no influences on the specific capacitance at different scan rates. As one of important parameters to describe the electrochemical properties, the working potential window of the Fe2O3@CC electrode was also investigated in this work. The broad potential window in room-temperature molten salt (LiTFSI + LiBETI (LiN(SO2CF3)2 + LiN(SO2C2F5)2)) has been obtained and reached 1.2 V, which is higher than that of the traditional aqueous electrolyte (~0.9 V).
