The galvanostatic cycling of the anode half-cells reveals a better capacity retention and higher coulombic efficiency of the Si/C composite based on silicon synthesized from a KCl-K\({}_{2}\)SiF\({}_{6}\)-SiO\({}_{2}\) melt. The capacity of the obtained material is estimated in the paper. In work [5], a selective dissolution of a tungsten (85 wt.%)-rhenium (15 wt.%) alloy, with rhenium in hydrochloric acid at the temperature of 298 K, and anodic polarization modes are carried out. A thermodynamic description of the processes occurring during the anodic selective dissolution of a binary alloy is proposed. The existence of a bimodal structure on the tungsten surface after dealloying is proven. The work [6] focuses the reader's attention to the investigation of the quasi-unidirectional continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastics joined with metal sheets. The unique novelty of the method is the use of non-rotational symmetric pin structures for material production. The created samples are consequently mechanically tested, and the failure behavior of the single lap shear samples is investigated. Manuscript [7] provides results on the ab initio molecular dynamics studies of the mechanism of proton motion in a LaScO\({}_{3}\) perovskite crystal. It is shown that initial location and interaction between the proton and its nearest environment are of great importance to the character of the proton movement, while the magnitude and direction of the initial velocity and electric field strength are secondary factors characterizing its movement through the LaScO\({}_{3}\) crystal. Paper [8] presents a new method for the industrial production of metal-matrix composites with improved properties, and an aluminum matrix reinforced by \"in situ\" \(\alpha\)-Al\({}_{2}\)O\({}_{3}\) nanoparticles is fabricated and tested. Under static uniaxial tension, the cast aluminum composites containing aluminum oxide nanoparticles demonstrate the increased tensile strength, yield strength, and ductility. The microhardness and tensile strength of the composite material are 20-30% higher than those of the metallic aluminum. The goal of article [9] is the consideration of the Zn-Al-Mg-coated steel HC340 LAD + ZM due to its excellent corrosion resistance, self-healing properties, and good surface hardness. It is shown that the presence of the Zn-Al-Mg coating slightly affects the mechanical properties of welding joints. The corrosion current of the body material containing Zn-Al-Mg plating is 7.17 times that of the uncoated plate. In the paper [10], single- and multi-layer graphene sheets are obtained on a highly textured Cu substrate using the chemical vapor deposition method. Plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy is applied to carry out the GaN graphene-assisted growth. The effect of graphene defectiveness and thickness on the quality of the GaN epilayers is studied. The density functional theory is used to calculate the energy of interaction between graphene and its substrates. The work [11] investigates oxygen-deficient defects in TiO\({}_{2}\) nanoparticles synthesized by the sol-gel method and laser evaporation of ceramic targets. The nanopowders are subjected to vacuum annealings to modify the defective structure in nanoparticles. The behavior of the defects in TiO\({}_{2}\) nanoparticles is under consideration. According to the results, the concentration of the defects can vary in wide limits via vacuum annealings of nanopowders, which can lead to the formation of a solid film of titanium atoms 1-2 monolayers in thickness on the surface of oxide nanoparticles. In work [12], a new and promising approach for the carbothermal synthesis of C/SiC composite mixtures with SiC particles of fibrous morphology, with a fiber diameter of 0.1-2.0 \(\upmu\)m and with an increased energy density for lithium-ion batteries is proposed. As a result, the energy characteristics of the mixtures are determined, and the potential use of the obtained mixtures as anode materials for a lithium-ion battery is presented.
