Hydrogen and syngas production from two-step steam reforming of methane over CeO2-Fe2O3 oxygen carrier

Two-step steam reforming of methane(SRM)is a novel chemical looping process towards the production of pure hydrogen and syngas(synthesis gas),consisting ofa syngas production step and a water-splitting step.Renewable energy can be used to drive this process for hydrogen production,especially solar energy.CeO2-Fe2O3 complex oxide oxygen carrier was prepared by the impregnation method and characterized by means of X-ray diffractometer(XRD),Raman spectroscopy(Raman)and hydrogen programmed reduction(H2-TPR).CH4temperature programmed and isothermal reactions were adopted to test syngas production reactivity,and water splitting reaction was employed to investigate water-splitting activity.Moreover,two-step SRM performance was evaluated by a successive redox cycle.The results showed that CO-uncontaminated H2 and highly selective syngas(with H2/CO ratio close to 2)could be respectively obtained from two steps,and CeFeO3 formation was found in the first redox cycle and proved to be enhanced by the redox treatment.After 10 successive cycles,obvious CeFeO3 phase was detected,which may be responsible for favorable successive redox cycle performances.     

Effect of erbium on properties and microstructure of Al-Si eutectic alloy

Eutectic Al-12.6 wt.%Si alloys with various contents of the rare earth dement Er were prepared by the conventional casting technique.The effect of Er on the microstructure and properties of the eutectic Al-Si alloys was investigated using optical microscopy,scanning electron microscopy as well as the friction and wear tests.It was found that the addition of Er obviously improved the anti-wear properties,and reduced the friction coefficient of the alloys.The appropriate addition of Er would change the size and shape of the eutectic silicon,and thereby refine the microstructure of the Al-Si alloys.The refinement mechanism was also discussed.     

Rare earth upconversion nanophosphors: synthesis, functionalization and application as biolabels and energy transfer donors

This review focused on rare earth upconversion nanophosphors (UCNPs), a particular class of emitters whose photoluminescence mechanism is of fundamental difference from that of conventional dyes and semiconductor quantum dots. We in the first section gave a brief summary on a variety of synthetic methodologies developed during the past decades. Instead of presenting an exhaustive reference list, we selected only a few representative examples, illustrating the merits and limits of each involved synthetic route. Then we surveyed the recent progress in the functienalization techniques for these nanomaterials, depicting the modification in microstruetures and improvement in prop-erties with respect to the parent nanopartides. And finally, we emphasized their application in the research fields of biolabeling and energy transfer, narrating their superior performance benefiting from the unique excitation and emission properties.     

Effect of Vanadium Microalloying on the HAZ Microstructure and Properties of Low Carbon Steels

Four Steels,C-Mn-0.05V,C-Mn-0.11V,C-Mn-0.03Nb and C-Mn were subjected to heat treatment to simulate the microstructure of a coarse grained heat affected zone (CGHAZ) and an intercritically reheated coarse grained heat affected zone (ICCGHAZ).This involved reheating to 1350°C,rapid cooling (Δt 8/5 =24s) to room temperature and then reheating to either 750°C or 800°C.The toughness of the HAZs was assessed using both Charpy and CTOD tests.Microstructural features were characterised by optical,scanning` and transmission electron microscopy.Fractographic examinations of the Charpy and CTOD specimens were carried out to understand the micromechanism of fracture under different microstructural and test conditions.The CGHAZ toughness was similar for the steels except that Steel C-Mn-0.05V had a slightly lower ITT compared to the others.The toughness deteriorated in the ICCGHAZ for all the steels,again Steel C-Mn-0.05V had a superior toughness compared to the other three steels in both ICCGHAZ conditions.Raising the level of vanadium to 0.11% caused a decrease in ICCGHAZ toughness.Steel C-Mn-Nb exhibited a greater degradation of impact toughness after the intercritical cycles.The presence of M-A constituents was the dominant factor in determining the toughness of the ICCGHAZs.The size and area fraction of the M-A constituents were the smallest in Steel C-Mn-0.05V.Increasing vanadium level to 0.11% resulted in a greater area fraction of the M-A constituents,larger average and maximum sizes of M-A particles,and significantly more fields containing the M-A.The addition of 0.031% Nb produced the largest M-A particles and the greatest area fraction for the steels tested.

Effect of titanium addition on the magnetic property of Nd2Fe14B/α-Fe nanocomposite alloys

Rapidly solidified nanocrystalline α-Fe/Nd2Fe14B alloys with enhanced coercivity were obtained by melt spinning.The effects of Ti addition on the microstructore and magnetic properties of the nanocomposite α-Fe/Nd2Fe14B alloys were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD)and superconducting quantum interference device(SQUID)magnetometer.The analysis of XRD showed that Vα-Fe estimated to be about 35.3% in the Ti-free α-Fe/Nd2Fe14B nanocomposites decreased down to 26.5% as the addition of was 5 at.% Ti.Accordingly,adding Ti resulted in relevant improvements of magnetic properties,especially of the coercivity Hc from 595 kA/m up to 1006 kA/m.The dependence of Mirrev(H)/2Mr on the reverse field H indicated that nucleation was the dominating mechanism for the magnetization reversal in these nanocomposites.The analysis of the temperature dependence of the demagnetization curve in the α-Fe/Nd2Fe14B nanocomposite magnets indicated that a reduction of αex could play a leading role in an increase in the coercivity of Ti-doped sample.

Thermal and radiative characteristics of oxyfluoride glass singly doped with lanthanide ions

Rare earths-doped oxyfluoride glasses based on germanium oxide and lead fluoride were prepared from commercial raw materials. The glasses with general composition of 50GeO2-(50-x-y)PbO-yPbF2-xLnF3 (Ln=Pr3+-Yb3+), contained different concentrations of optically active dopants (x=0.2 mol.% and 2 mol.%) and PbF2 (y≤15 mol.%). The differential thermal analysis (DTA) was used to determine both thermal characteristic and thermal stability properties of the glasses in the function of the kind of dopant, its concentration, and a glass composition. Characteristic glass temperatures such as glass transition temperature (Tg), glass crystallization temperature (Tc) and temperature corresponding to the maximum of the crystallization rate (Tpc) were evaluated. On the basis of obtained results, the thermal stabilities of glasses under study were evaluated using various thermal stability criteria (Dietzel factor ?T, Saad-Poulain factors H' and S). It was found that the increase in rare earth fluoride contents influenced thermal characteristics when the characteristic temperatures of the individual glass was shifted towards higher values. The effect of the PbF2 content and the kind of rare earth impurity on the glass stability was observed. Absorption spectra of lanthanide-doped glasses were measured at room temperature and used to determine the phenomenological intensity parameters Ωt and next, to estimate radiative properties of lanthanide ions in this matrix. Radiative transition probabilities of luminescent states of Ln3+, branching ratios and radiative lifetimes were determined. The variation of the Ωt along the lanthanide series was presented and discussed.

Effect of Microalloying Additions on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Low Carbon Steel

Low carbon steels are characterized by good weldability,formability and fracture toughness properties.However,the low strength levels of these steel grades limit their wide applications.On the other hand,increasing the strength by increasing the carbon content and alloying elements deteriorates the other properties.In this study,the microalloying technique was used to examine the possibility of attaining low carbon steels with good combination of strength,ductility and impact properties.A low carbon steel microalloyed with single addition of vanadium and another one microalloyed with combined addition of vanadium and titanium were used in this investigation and their properties were compared with non-microalloyed low carbon steel having the same base composition.Furthermore,other two nonmicroalloyed and V-microalloyed steels with higher carbon,silicon and manganese contents were also investigated to reveal the effect of base composition.Tensile,hardness,room and zero temperature Charpy V-notch impact tests were conducted to evaluate the variations in the mechanical properties of low carbon hot forged steel containing vanadium and combinations of vanadium and titanium.In addition,the microstructures of the different investigated steels were observed using both optical microscope and scanning electron microscope.Furthermore,the hardness of the ferrite phase was also determined using micro-hardness technique.The results showed improvement of the mechanical properties of the investigated steels by both single V-and combined V + Ti-microadditions.Tensile,hardness and impact tests results indicated that good combinations of strength,ductility and impact properties can be achieved by V-microalloying addition.Steel with combination of V and Ti microaddition has much higher hardness,yield strength,ultimate tensile strength and impact energy at both room and zero temperatures compared with non-microalloyed and single Vmicroalloyed steels.Higher C,Si and Mn contents result in increasing the strength accompanied with decrea

Effect of Al82.8Cu17Fe0.2 alloy doping on structure and magnetic properties of SmCo5-based ribbons

This work tries to improve the magnetic properties by multi-element doping in the form of a ternary alloy.SmCo₅₊χwt%Al-Cu-Fe(x=0-7)ribbons melt-spun at 40 m/s were produced by adding Al_82.8Cu₁₇Fe_0.2alloy into SmCo₅ matrix,and their phases,microstructure,and magnetic properties were investigated.The results show that both x=0 and 3 ribbons form a cellular microstructure.Al-Cu-Fe addition reduces the content of the Sm₂(Co,M)₇ cell wall,narrows its width,and forms the local disordered micro-regions and solute-segregation nanoclusters in the Sm(Co,M)₅ grains.With x increasing to5,Al-Cu-Fe addition promotes the phase separation between and within grains of the SmCo₅-based alloy.The Al-Cu-Fe addition can simultaneously improve the coercivity and magnetization of the SmCo₅-based ribbons,in particular,the magnetization of the x=3 ribbons increases by 35%,while the coercivity of the x=5 ribbons increases by 3.9 times.Finally,the microstructure evolution models are built up,and the relationship between the microstructure and the magnetic properties is discussed.     

Samarium doping improves luminescence efficiency of Cs_3Bi_2Br_9 perovskite quantum dots enabling efficient white light-emitting diodes

Considering the toxicity problem of lead-based perovskite quantum dots(PQDs),the lead-free Cs₃Bi₂Br_gPQDs has been recognized as one of the promising candidates.However,the low photoluminescence quantum yields(PLQYs)hinder its practical application in optoelectronic devices.Here,w e successfully prepared Sm³⁺ions doped Cs₃Bi₂Br_gPQDs with effective white light-emission by modified ligandassisted recrystallization method.The realization of white light-emission is attributed to the broadband blue emission of excitons and the red emission(⁴G_5/2-⁶HJ(J=5/2,7/2,9/2))of Sm³⁺ions for Sm³⁺ions doped Cs₃Bi₂Br_gPQDs.More importantly,compared with the undoped Cs₃Bi₂Br_gPQDs,the PLQYs of Sm³⁺ions doped Cs₃Bi₂Br_gPQDs are improved from 10.9%to 20.8%,and the anti-water stability is also obviously improved.Finally,the Sm³⁺ions doped PQDs based white light-emitting diodes(LEDs)with luminous efficiency of 12.6 lm/W were explored,which indicates that there is a potential prospect of lead-free PQDs in white light lighting application.     

Continuous Casting of Demanding HSLA Steel Grades for Heavy Plate Application

Continuous casting has evolved as the most important production process in the steel industry.Today it counts for about 95% of the world’s steel production.Parallel to its rising significance,the process technologies have been enhanced in yield,productivity and-in particular quality of semi-finished products has been improved close to the realm of possibility.Further optimizing the product quality beyond the present status has to put the whole manufacturing route from hot metal and/or steel melting through refining to continuous casting under integrated control.Prerequisite for the production of HSLA steel grades of the highest standard are clean steel,internal soundness and defect-free slab surfaces.In this context a brief look is cast on the recent trend of process technology in casting "thick slabs" for extra-heavy plate production.
