添加剂BaO对铝电解用xCu/（10NiO-NiFe_2O_4）金属陶瓷惰性阳极腐蚀性能的影响

制备铝电解用xCu/（10NiO-NiFe2O4）和1BaO-xCu/（10NiO-NiFe2O4）（x=5,10,17）金属陶瓷惰性阳极,在传统电解质中以电流密度1.0A/cm2进行实验室电解腐蚀实验。结果表明：金属Cu被腐蚀,在阳极表面留下了许多孔洞从而导致在电解过程中电解质向阳极内部渗透;金属陶瓷5Cu/（10NiO-NiFe2O4）,10Cu/（10NiO-NiFe2O4）,17Cu/（10NiO-NiFe2O4）,1BaO-5Cu/（10NiO-NiFe2O4）,1BaO-10Cu/（10NiO-NiFe2O4）和1BaO-17Cu/（10NiO-NiFe2O4）的腐蚀速率分别为2.15,6.50,8.30,4.88,4.70和4.48cm/a;添加剂BaO对10Cu/（10NiO-NiFe2O4）和17Cu/（10NiO-NiFe2O4）金属陶瓷的抗腐蚀性能是有利的,因为添加剂BaO能有效提高其致密度从而提高其抗腐蚀性能;但BaO对5Cu/（10NiO-NiFe2O4）金属陶瓷的抗腐蚀性能是不利的,可能是因为聚集在晶界的添加剂BaO加速了金属陶瓷的腐蚀。     

Effect of Ni content on corrosion behavior of Ni/（10NiO-90NiFe2O4） cermet inert anode

Ni/（10NiO-90NiFe2O4） cermet inert anodes with metal Ni content of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 （mass fraction, %） were prepared and their corrosion behavior in Na3AlF6-Al2O3 melts was investigated in laboratory electrolysis tests. The results indicate that the content of metal Ni in anodes has little effect on the steady-state concentration of impurities Ni and Fe in electrolyte and the values range in （114-173）×10^-6 and （287-385）×10^-6, but the content of impurities in the metal aluminum manifolds. There is preferential corrosion for metal Ni in NiO-NiFe2O4 based cermet anodes. Considering the corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity, the cermet containing 5%Ni （mass fraction） behaves best among NiO-NiFe2O4 based cermet anodes studied, and should be further studied.     

Effect of metallic phase content on mechanical properties of （85Cu- 15Ni）/（10NiO-NiFe2O4） cermet inert anode for aluminum electrolysis

（85Cu-15Ni）/（10NiO-NiFe2O4） cermets were prepared with Cu-Ni mixed powders as toughening metallic phase and 10NiO-NiFe2O4 as ceramic matrix. The phase composition, microstructure of composite and the effect of metallic phase content on bending strength, hardness, fracture toughness and thermal shock resistance were studied. X-ray diffraction analysis indicates the coexistence of （Cu-Ni）, NiO and NiFe2O4 phases in the cermets. Within the content range of metallic phase from 0% to 20% （mass fraction）, the maximal bending strength （176.4 MPa） and the minimal porosity （3.9%） of composite appear at the metallic phase content of 5%. The fracture toughness increases and Vickers＇ hardness decreases with increasing metal content. When the thermal shock temperature difference （At） is below 200 ℃, the loss rate of residual strength for 10NiO-NiFe2O4 ceramic is only 8%, but about 40% for （85Cu-15Ni）/（10NiO-NiFe2O4）cermets. As At is above 200 ℃, the residual strength sharply decreases for sample CN0 and falls slowly for samples CN5-CN20.     

Effect of adding methods of metallic phase on microstructure and thermal shock resistance of Ni/（90NiFe2O4-10NiO） cermets

Ball mixing and electroless plating were respectively used as the adding methods of metallic phase to prepare Ni/（90NiFe2O4-10NiO） cermets for the inert anode in aluminum electrolysis. The microstructure and thermal shock resistance of cermet samples were studied. The results show that, for the samples prepared by ball mixing method, aggregation of metallic phase is found in either the green blocks or sintered samples and the extent of aggregation increases with the increase of metal content. For 6.5Ni/（90NiFe2O4-10NiO） cermets prepared with electroless plating method, the homogeneous and fine metallic particles are found in either the green compacts or sintered samples, but the relative density and thermal shock residual strength decrease by 3% and 28%-58% respectively, compared with samples prepared with ball mixing method.     

Electrical resistivity of NiFe_2O_4 ceramic and NiFe_2O_4 based cermets

NiFe2O4 ceramic and NiFe2O4 based cermets, expected to be used as the inert anodes in aluminum electrolysis, were prepared and their electrical resistivities were measured at different temperatures. The effects of temperature and composition on their electrical resistivities were investigated. The results indicate that the electrical resistivities of NiFe2O4 based cermets mainly depend on temperature, resistivity of ceramic matrix, composition and dispersion of the metal phase among ceramic matrix. The electrical resistivity of NiFe2O4 ceramic decreases from 10. 094 Ω · cm to 0. 475 Ω · em with increasing temperature from 573 K to 1 233 K. The electrical resistivities of NiFe2O4 based cermets are greatly lowered, but decrease with increasing the temperature with similar trend compared to that of NiFe2O4 ceramic. The resistivities of NiFe2O4 based cermets containing 5 % Ni, 5 % Cu and 5 % CuNi alloy are 0. 046 8, 0.066 8 and 0. 0532 Ω · cm at 1 233 K, respectively, which are all acceptable as inert anode materials compared to that of the current carbon anode used for aluminum electrolysis.     

Polyaniline and multi-walled carbon nanotube composite electrode for rechargeable battery

The multi-walled carbon nanotube was introduced into the polymer matrix (PANI) to improve the electric conductivity as well as mechanical properties of the original polymer matrix.PANI/multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composites were synthesized via ex-situ and in-situ polymerization to improve their electrical property.And the DC conductivities of PANI/MWCNT according to content and diameter of MWCNT were measured by four-point probe.The highest electric conductivity of PANI/MWCNT composite is 20 S/cm when 0.3% (mass fraction) MWCNTs with 10 nm in diameter and 15 μm in length are added in composite.     

Densification of Ni-NiFe204 cermets for aluminum electrolysis

The density of cermet inert anodes in aluminum electrolysis is of great importance. Ni-NiFe2O4 cermets were studied with respect to their densification affected by ball milling time, particle size of raw powders, contents of metallic phase, sintering atmosphere and temperature. The results show that, prolonging ball milling time will increase the density with the optimum value of 150 min; cermets containing 0 - 15 % Ni(mass fraction) have high relative density ranging from 94 % to 96%, but with Ni content increasing, the density slightly decreases; weak reductive atmosphere is favorable to densification; the relative density increases from 80.38% to 96.85% with the sintering temperature increasing from 1 100℃ to 1 300℃ while it decreases at 1 400℃, which may be due to crystal grain coarsening. So the sintering temperature of Ni-NiFe2O4 cerrnets in current work should be controlled at 1 300℃, where the relative density is 96.85 %.     

Impedance Studies of La2Mo2-xSnxO（9-δ） Oxide Ion Conductors

A series of compounds La₂Mo_2-xSn_xO（9-δ）（x=0-0.3） have been synthesized by solid-state reaction technique.Materials have been characterized by XRD,SEM,DSC and impedance study.In the temperature regime 520℃-590℃,the specimens with x ≤ 0.05 have the conductivity higher than La2Mo2O9.Conductivity of Sn-doped compound decreases consistently with increasing Sn-doping,compared to the undoped compound both below and above phase transition,barring the specimens with x ≤ 0.05,where conductivity values remains almost same as that of undoped specimen in high temperature region.In the intermediate temperature regime（520℃-590℃）,the conductivity of doped compounds increases for x ≤ 0.05 as compared to parent compound.Also,there is no indication of phase stabilization with Sn-doping in this compound even with the highest doping level,x=0.3.Electric modulus analysis suggests that thermally activated oxygen ion hopping mechanism is responsible for the conduction in Sn-doped compound.     

Preparation and electrochemical properties of LiFePO4/C composite with network structure for lithium ion batteries

The bare LiFePO4 and LiFePO4/C composites with network structure were prepared by solid-state reaction. The crystalline structures, morphologies and specific surface areas of the materials were investigated by X-ray diffractometry（XRD）, scanning electron microscopy（SEM） and multi-point brunauer emmett and teller（BET） method. The results show that the LiFePO4/C composite with the best network structure is obtained by adding 10% phenolic resin carbon. Its electronic conductivity increases to 2.86 × 10^-2 S/cm. It possesses the highest specific surface area of 115.65 m^2/g, which exhibits the highest discharge specific capacity of 164.33 mA.h/g at C/IO rate and 149.12 mA.h/g at 1 C rate. The discharge capacity is completely recovered when C/10 rate is applied again.     

Electrocatalysis of carbon anode in aluminium electrolysis

The anodic overvoltage of the carbon anode in aluminum electrolysis is of the order of 0.6 V at normal currem densities. However, it can be reduced somewhat by doping the anode carbon with various inorganic compounds. A new apparatus was designed to improve the precision of overvoltage measurements. Anodes were doped with MgAl2O4 and AlF3both by impregnation of the coke and by adding powder, and the measured overvoltage was compared with that of undoped samples. For prebake type anodes baked at around 1150℃, the anodic overvoltage was reduced by 40-60 mV,and for Soderberg type anodes, baked at 950 ℃, by 60-80 mV.

电磁性能可调控金属陶瓷Y2Ti2O7/Fe的制备与表征

采用固相反应与真空烧结先后制备Y2Ti2O7粉末与Y2Ti2O7/Fe金属陶瓷。XRD分析表明,所得Y2Ti2O7粉末为纯相,Y2Ti2O7/Fe金属陶瓷化学性质稳定,金属相与陶瓷相之间无界面反应产物。在10 MHz^1 GHz频段进行测试,发现Y2Ti2O7/Fe金属陶瓷的逾渗阈值处于Fe含量20%~30%(体积分数)之间。当Fe含量低于逾渗阈值时,介电常数、交流导电和磁导率均随Fe含量的增加而增加。当Fe含量超过30%时,金属陶瓷电抗与交流电导率发生突变,在整个测试频段都呈现负介电常数。Fe含量为40%的样品的磁导率在整个测试频段内小于1,且随频率增加不断下降,应归因于逾渗导电网络导致的抗磁性。在频率大于1 GHz时可能出现负磁导率,即实现电磁性能的双负性。

Electronic conduction mechanism in chitin–polyaniline blend

The electrical conductivity of chitin–polyaniline blend doped with HCl has been studied in the temperature range 323–373 K for various blend compositions. Conductivity of blends increases from less than ≈10^?7 S/cm to 2.15 × 10^?5 S/cm, depending on the percentage of polyaniline in the blend due to self-doping of LiCl. When these blends are doped with HCl conductivity raises to ≈9.68 × 10^?2 S/cm. Current–voltage data is analyzed using various models available. The results suggest Schottky–Richardson and one-dimensional variable range hopping mechanisms for undoped blend and one-dimensional variable range hopping mechanism in the case of doped blend.     

Fabrication and Characterization of Nickel Ferrite Based Inert Anodes for Aluminum Electrolysis

Nickel ferrite-based cermets and their relevant composites have been widely used as inert anodes for aluminum electrolysis due to the good combination of chemical resistance, thermal, and mechanical stability. In this study, various NiO/NiFe₂O₄ composites consisting 5, 10, and 15% NiO in conjunction with Cu/NiFe₂O₄ cermets containing 5, 10, and 15% Cu have been prepared by powder metallurgy method. The degradation resistance of developed inert composites has been evaluated under hot corrosion conditions by plunging the samples in the molten electrolyte at 1,000 °C for various holding times. The strength, toughness, hardness, relative density, microstructural observation, phase analysis, and electrical resistivity have been investigated in details by the 3-points bending test, Vickers hardness test, Archimedes method, scanning electron microscope, x-ray diffraction, and conventional direct current four-probe technique, respectively. The experimental results for NiO/NiFe₂O₄ composites show that a significant improvement of toughness and degradation resistance occurred in conjunction with a moderate decrease in strength by adding NiO content from 5 to 15%, while the relative density has been increased only up to 5%NiO content and then decreased. Moreover, increasing of Cu content from 5 to 15% in the cermet samples, all of the mentioned engineering properties such as strength, toughness and electrical conductivity have been improved considerably, but the degradation resistance has been decreased.     

Cu-Ni-Fe-NiFe_2O_4金属陶瓷的制备与表征

以NiO、Fe_2O_3和Cu、Fe、Ni为主要原料,采用两步固相烧结法,制备出Cu-NiFe_2O_4和Cu-Ni-Fe-NiFe_2O_4金属陶瓷试样.用阿基米德排水法测试样密度,并结合XRD和SEM分析其微观结构,测量了试样的静态热腐蚀率、抗热震性和电导率.研究表明,与Cu-NiFe_2O_4金属陶瓷比较,金属Fe、Ni的加入能够起到晶粒细化、提高致密度的作用,同时使Cu与陶瓷的润湿性得到改善.Cu-Ni-Fe-NiFe_2O_4试样在冰晶石熔盐中的静态热腐蚀率有所降低,而抗热震性有较大提高.电导率也有一定提高,原因是由于金属相均匀的分散于陶瓷相中,减小了晶界间的势垒作用,从而使载流子更易通过晶界.
