Formation mechanism of Ti(C,N) solid solution in Al-brown fused alumina refractory at 1973 K in flowing N2

Brown fused alumina is a cost-effective alumina material, and the state of Ti in alumina has a great influence on its high-temperature performance. In this paper, the Ti-containing phases in brown fused alumina particles and Al-brown fused alumina refractory were successfully transformed into Ti(C,N) at 1973 K in flowing N₂. The evolution of the Ti-containing phases in brown fused alumina under high temperature and nitrogen conditions was investigated by XRD, SEM and EDS. The results show that the Ti-containing phases in brown fused alumina include Ti₂O₃, Ti(C,N,O), TiFeSi₂, Ca_0·95Mg_0·9Al_10·1(Ti)O₁₇ and a low-melting point Ca₃Al₂Si₃(Mg,Ti)O₁₂ phase. Under high temperature and nitrogen conditions, the TiO_2[liquid], MgO_[liquid] and SiO_2[liquid] in the low-melting point phase are transformed into Ti(C,N), Mg(g) and SiO(g), while they are supplemented from Ti₂O₃, Ti(C,N,O) and Ca_0·95Mg_0·9Al_10·1(Ti)O₁₇. After heat treatment at 1973 K for 3 h, Ti₂O₃ and Ti(C,N,O) disappear, Ca_0·95Mg_0·9Al_10·1(Ti)O₁₇ is transformed into plate-like Ca_0·55Al₁₁O_17.05, and Ti(C,N) is formed on the surface of the corundum particles. The formation of Ti(C,N) reduces the porosity of the brown fused alumina particles and increases their strength.     

Beta-Binomial删除信道中的喷泉码文件传输协议

由于命名数据网络(NDN,Named-Data Networking)无环路、逐包、逐跳转发的特点,使得数据包回传成功率降低,而传统的TCP/IP协议中的ARQ和ACK机制对于多播会话不再适用.由于NDN中的传输信道可以等效为二进制删除信道,因此可以通过应用层编码来实现文件的可靠传输.传统的信道编码技术如卷积码、级联码和RS码等复杂度较高,而将NDN与低复杂度的喷泉码的结合可以实现分布式的存储架构,因而可通过喷泉编码在应用层协议中实现可靠的纠删机制,保证整体文件的传输可靠性.以往的研究一般是基于确定的删除概率信道模型,但是由于网络的异构性和信道噪声等因素影响,可能会造成信道丢包概率呈随机性分布.因此,本文在Beta-Binomial分布模型的前提下,根据贝叶斯统计的先验信息和中心极限定理,对随机概率下的纠删信道的文件可靠传输协议进行了数学建模和理论推导.仿真结果显示此模型更具有普适性,此传输协议可在信道状况未知的前提下从理论上求出最小发包数,减少冗余编码包,提高文件整体的投递成功率,在保证传输可靠性的同时有效提升协议传输效率.

High quality sapphire crystal by advanced chemical transport process

Single crystal sapphire was synthesized by chemical transport of Al-O generated by the reaction of polycrystalline Al₂O₃ ceramic and carbon. Using C-axis oriented polycrystalline Al₂O₃ ceramics as a seed crystal in the deposition temperature range, a C-axis sapphire crystal (Φ5xL35 mm) was grown at a temperature range of 700–1000 °C, and the growth rate in the C-axis direction was about 3.5 mm/h. The transmittance in the visible to infrared region of the synthesized sapphire is a theoretical value (transmission loss is lower than 0.1 %/cm), and the absorption edge was less than 200 nm (the band gap is 6.2 eV), which is shorter than the absorption edge (240 nm) of the commercially available single crystal (band gap 5.2 eV) synthesized by the Czochralski method. The dislocation density in this material was extremely low, and it was confirmed by lattice image observation that it was a high-quality single crystal with very few defects.     

Synthesis method of novel Gd2O3@Fe3O4 nanocomposite modified by dextrose capping agent

In current study, gadolinium oxide was heterogeneously formed on the surface of iron oxide nanoparticles and further modified with dextrose capping agent to be used in biomedical applications, especially for contrast enhancement in MR images. First, two types of iron oxide nanoparticles were prepared at 25 and 80 ^°C via simple coprecipitaion method. Then, gadolinium oxide nanoparticles were synthesized through a consecutive precipitation process on previously formed iron oxide seeds in an aqueous media and subsequent annealing at 300 ^°C. Finally, dextrose was used as capping agent to stabilize nanocomposites in a colloidal suspension. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning and Transmission electron microscopy, Dynamic Laser Scattering (DLS), Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and Magnetometery (VSM) techniques were employed for nanocomposites investigation and MTT-assay method used for viability assessment of colloidal samples. Measurements based on Scherrer equation from XRD patterns showed that increasing coprecipitation temperature resulted bigger iron oxide crystallites. The iron oxide crystallite size was increased from 15.1 to 28.1 nm. Precipitation process led to gadolinium oxide formation with 30.7 and 38.8 nm crystallite sizes, respectively. TEM images revealed that iron oxide agglomerates were encapsulated in gadolinium oxide surroundings. Hydrodynamic size of the coated nanoparticles with dextrose was 208 and 247 nm. In VSM examinations, nanocomposites did not display coercive field and the saturation magnetization was 1.93 emu/g. MTT-assay results showed 80% viability in 285 μg nanocomposites containing 96.9 μg [Fe] and 11.4 μg [Gd].

First demonstration of photoelectrochemical water splitting by commercial W–Cu powder metallurgy parts converted to highly porous 3D WO3/W skeletons

Hydrogen evolution through photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting by tungsten oxide-based photoanodes, as a stable and environmental-friendly material with moderate band gap, has attracted significant interest in recent years. The performance of WO₃ photoanode could be hindered by its poor oxygen evolution reaction kinetics and high charge carrier recombination rate. Additionally, scalable and cost-effective commercial procedure to prepare nanostructured electrodes is still challenging. We present, for the first time, a novel and scalable method to fabricate highly efficient self-supported WO₃/W nanostructured photoanodes from commercial W–Cu powder metallurgy (P/M) parts for water splitting. The electrodes were prepared by electrochemical etching of Cu networks followed by hydrothermal growth of WO₃ nanoflakes. Interconnected channels of W skeleton provided high active surface area for the growth of WO₃ nanoflakes with a thickness of ~40 nm and lateral dimension of ~250 nm. The optimized photoelectrode having 35% interconnected porosity exhibited an impressive current density of 4.36 mA cm⁻² comprising a remarkable photocurrent of 1.71 mA cm⁻² at 1.23 V vs. RHE under 100 mW cm⁻² simulated sunlight. This achievement is amongst the highest reported photocurrents for WO₃ photoelectrodes with tungsten substrate reported so far. Impedance and Mott-Schottky analyses evidenced fast charge transfer, low recombination rate, and accelerated O₂ detachment provided by optimum 3D porous WO₃/W electrode. Due to the nature of the commercial P/M parts and low-temperature hydrothermal processing, the procedure is cost-effective and scalable which can pave a new route for the fabrication of highly porous and efficient water splitting electrodes.
