High energy storage properties of lead-free Mn-doped (1-x)AgNbO3-xBi0.5Na0.5TiO3 antiferroelectric ceramics

In this work, 0.2 wt.% Mn-doped (1-x)AgNbO₃-xBi_0.5Na_0.5TiO₃ (x = 0.00–0.04) ceramics were synthesized via solid state reaction method in flowing oxygen. The evolution of microstructure, phase transition and energy storage properties were investigated to evaluate the potential as high energy storage capacitors. Relaxor ferroelectric Bi_0.5Na_0.5TiO₃ was introduced to stabilize the antiferroelectric state through modulating the M₁-M₂ phase transition. Enhanced energy storage performance was achieved for the 3 mol% Bi_0.5Na_0.5TiO₃ doped AgNbO₃ ceramic with high recoverable energy density of 3.4 J/cm³ and energy efficiency of 62% under an applied field of 220 kV/cm. The improved energy storage performance can be attributed to the stabilized antiferroelectricity and decreased electrical hysteresis ΔE. In addition, the ceramics also displayed excellent thermal stability with low energy density variation (<6%) over a wide temperature range of 20−80 °C. These results indicate that Mn-doped (1-x)AgNbO₃-xBi_0.5Na_0.5TiO₃ ceramics are highly efficient lead-free antiferroelectric materials for potential application in high energy storage capacitors.     

Low shear rheological behaviour of two-phase mesophase pitch

The low shear rate rheology of two phase mesophase pitches derived from coal tar pitch has been investigated. Particulate quinoline insolubles (QI) stabilised the mesophase spheres against coalescence. Viscosity measurements over the range 10–10⁶ Pa s were made at appropriate temperature ranges. Increasing shear thinning behaviour was evident with increasing mesophase content. At low mesophase contents the dominant effect on the near Newtonian viscosity was temperature but at higher contents it was the shear rate; temperature dependence declined to near zero. The data indicated that agglomeration could be occurring at intermediate mesophase volume fractions, 0.2–0.3. The Krieger–Dougherty function and its emulsion analogue indicated that in this region the mesophase pitch emulsions actually behaved like ‘hard’ sphere systems and the effective volume fraction was estimated as a function of shear rate illustrating the change in extent of agglomeration. At the higher volume fractions approaching the maximum packing fraction, which could only be measured at higher temperatures, the shear thinning behaviour changed in character and it is considered that this is possibly due to shear induced deformation and breakup of dispersed drops in the shear field.     

New anti-ablation candidate for carbon/carbon composites: Preparation,composition and ablation behavior of Y2Hf2O7 coating under an oxyacetylene torch

Y₂Hf₂O₇ possesses low thermal conductivity and high melting point, which make it promising for a new anti-ablation material. For evaluating the thermal stability and the potential applications of Y₂Hf₂O₇ on anti-ablation protection of C/C composites, Y₂Hf₂O₇ ceramic powder was synthesized by solution combustion method and Y₂Hf₂O₇ coating was prepared on the surface of SiC coated C/C composites using SAPS. Results shown that the coating exhibits good ablation resistance under the heat flux of 2.4?MW/m² with the linear and mass ablation rates are 0.16?μm?s^?1 and ?0.028?mg?s^?1, respectively, after ablation for 40?s. With the prolonging of the ablation time, the increasing thermal stress causes the increase of cracks. Moreover, the chemical erosion from SiO₂ and the physical volatilization of low temperature molten products aggravate failure of the Y₂Hf₂O₇ coating.     

Preparation of biaxially textured Ce1-x(Y0.2Zr0.8)xOδ buffer layers on RABiTS NiW tapes by chemical solution deposition

Highly (100)-oriented Ce_1-x(Y_0.2Zr_0.8)_xO_δ (CYZO) films were prepared on biaxially textured NiW substrates by a chemical solution deposition approach using metal inorganic salts as starting materials. It has been found that both the preferential orientation and surface roughness of CYZO films decrease gradually with increasing of the doping percentage of Y³⁺ and Zr⁴⁺ ions. The epitaxial growth relationship of (220)_CYZO//(200)_NiW and [00?l]_CYZO//[001]_NiW was demonstrated by XRD texture measurement as well as atomic resolution STEM observation. XRD, Raman and XPS spectra results indicate that Y³⁺ and Zr⁴⁺ ions were indeed introduced into CeO₂ lattice to substitute Ce⁴⁺ ions and form cubic fluorite CYZO solid solution. Moreover, CeO₂ buffer layer can be endowed a strong enough capability to prevent element diffusion through co-doping of yttrium and zirconium, provided that an optimal doping ratio of them is adopted. This will provide a new approach to fabricating strong-barrier single buffer layer for coated conductor.

为了解决普遍采用单方水资源价值计算河道生态基流价值的缺陷,以及探索河道生态基流价值定量化计算新方法,采用水力学方法将河道生态基流从径流量中分离出来,并确定河道生态基流对应水面面积,进而采用当量因子法计算河道生态基流价值和并探索分析了河道生态基流价值的时间变化特征。以渭河干流宝鸡段为例进行研究,结果表明:渭河干流宝鸡段的丰水年、平水年以及枯水年的年平均河道生态基流量分别为5.82 m~3/s、3.59 m~3/s和2.76 m~3/s。近21 a来,该段河道生态基流价值在时间上总体呈下降趋势,该价值多年平均值为5.61亿元,单方河道生态基流价值为6.27元/m~3,单方价值与价值总量变化趋势相反。河道生态基流价值年内变化具有明显的周期性,总体呈倒"V"字型,汛期河道生态基流价值比非汛期大,单方河道生态基流价值与之相反。通过相同区域以及相近区域的河道生态基流价值研究成果以及价值变化特征的对比分析,证明研究成果较为合理。该方法可为河道生态基流合理保障提供定量化依据。     

荷载对钢-混凝土连接锈蚀栓钉力学性能影响研究

为了研究荷载对钢-混凝土连接栓钉锈蚀程度对其力学特性的影响,对不同锈蚀程度的栓钉连接件的进行荷载试验。根据钢筋的锈蚀原理,利用人工方法加速钢-混凝土的栓钉锈蚀,为荷载试验提供达到相应的锈蚀程度样品,并通过荷载试验分别对四组样品进行极限承载力和变形特性展开研究。由试验结果可知:若栓钉连接件的钉杆发生锈蚀,尤其当锈蚀出现在靠近结合面处,该栓钉连接件的承载力以及变形特性均会受到影响;而且栓钉的锈蚀程度越大,其承载力则越低;当栓钉锈蚀质量损失率达到20.8%时,其极限承载力降低了17%;栓钉连接件大头端部锈蚀质量损失率约20%时,极限承载力下降仅为3%。研究结果为钢-混凝土的试验设计、施工使用等提供参考。

为了研究沿程水头损失与局部水头损失的变化规律,根据沿程水头损失的基本定义,推求矩形明渠消力池水跃区沿程水头损失与床面阻力系数、水跃共轭水深比、跃前断面宽高比及跃前断面水深的理论关系,提出了矩形明渠水跃区沿程水头损失及其系数和局部水头损失系数的理论公式,给出了沿程水头损失系数、局部水头损失系数和总水头损失系数的简单拟合公式。研究表明:沿程水头损失随着跃前断面水深和床面阻力系数的增大而增大,随着水跃共轭水深比和跃前断面宽高比的增大而减小;局部水头损失系数随着跃前断面弗劳德数的增大而增大;水跃区局部水头损失占比随着弗劳德数的增加而增加,弗劳德数为3时的局部水头损失占比达到90%,弗劳德数为6时的局部水头损失占比已达到95%以上。研究成果可进一步完善并丰富水跃理论体系。
