Slip casting of highly concentrated ZnO suspensions: Rheological studies,two-step sintering and resistivity measurements

The paper presents research on elaboration of well dispersed and stable aqueous suspensions of ZnO fine powder. Within the work the influence of the type and concentration (0.2 wt% - 1.2 wt%) of selected dispersing agents (i.a. poly(acrylic acid)-based polyelectrolyte and tetramethylammonium hydroxide), solid loading (30 - 50 vol%) and milling time (1–3 h) on the rheological properties of the slurries was investigated. Two-step sintering (970/920 °C, 2 h) was applied to sinter the green bodies obtained by slip casting.The lowest viscosity of ZnO suspensions was obtained for the addition of 0.4 wt% of poly(acrylic acid)-based polyelectrolyte (PAA) and TMAH. ZnO suspension containing PAA had negative zeta potential in the whole pH range. The highest solid loading obtained in the study was 50 vol%. The applied two-step sintering allowed to obtain samples of high density (above 96% of TD) and homogeneous microstructure of average grain size of 640 nm. ZnO sintered bodies were characterized by different electric properties at the core part and outer part of the sample which was caused by the differences in concentration of oxygen vacancies.

本文以自主设计的镁合金油气润滑铸造装置制备了直径154mm的AZ80镁合金铸坯,系统研究油气润滑对AZ80镁合金铸坯表面质量和凝固组织的影响,并对其机理进行了探讨。采用结果表明:采用油气润滑铸造时,氩气和润滑油在石墨环内表面形成了一层油气混合膜,改变了熔体和结晶器的接触方式和热交换状态,从而制备出高品质的AZ80镁合金铸坯。随着气体压力的增加,铸坯表面粗大的偏析瘤和皮下偏析层得到抑制,凝固组织得到了明显细化。当气体压力增加到0.4 MPa时,铸坯皮下偏析层厚度从1252μm降至628μm,铸坯R/2、心部晶粒尺寸和二次枝晶间距显著减小。随着凝固组织的细化,Al、Zn和Mn元素的宏观偏析得到了改善。

Thermodynamic calculation and microstructure characterization of spinel formation in MgO–Al2O3–C refractories

In this paper, by simulating the gas phase conditions inside the MgO–Al₂O₃–C refractories during continuous casting process and combining with thermodynamic analysis, as well as SEM analysis, the gas-gas and gas-solid formation of MA spinel were clarified in carbon containing refractories. Thermodynamic calculations showed that gas partial pressure of CO, O₂ and Mg could meet the formation and stable existence conditions of MA spinel in MgO–Al₂O₃–C refractories under service environment, and nitrogen could not affect the formation of MA spinel at 1550 °C in the thermodynamic condition. The formation processes of MA spinel were analyzed experimentally under embedding carbon atmosphere. The carbon-coated alumina powders in MgO–Al₂O₃–C refractories prevented the direct contact between magnesia and alumina. Mg gas was formed by carbon thermal reaction, then reacted with alumina (gas-solid) and gas containing aluminum (gas-gas) to generate MA spinel. Through gas-gas or gas-solid reaction, the formation of MA spinel was effectively controlled. By means of SEM analysis, a two-layer structure with dense outer spinel layer and loose inner layer was formed in MgO–Al₂O₃–C refractories.     

Highly efficient electrocatalysts fabricated via electrophoretic deposition for alcohol oxidation,oxygen reduction,hydrogen evolution,and oxygen evolution reactions

Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) is a versatile technique that has drawn attention due to its ease of use and performance in depositing high-quality layers at room temperature. This technique principle is based on the deposition of charged particles from a stable colloidal suspension on a conductive substrate using either a direct or alternating current. Using relatively simple and low-cost equipment, the EPD technique enables the deposition of layers with controlled microstructures at nanoscale. The EPD technique has been particularly successful in the fabrication of the electrocatalyst layers for low-temperature fuel cells, which are anchored on the top of the fuel cell electrodes. In comparison with other electrocatalyst layer deposition techniques such as drop-casting, the EPD technique offers clear advantages for the control of the thickness and packing density of the electrocatalyst layers. Owing to the dense packing density, electrocatalyst layers deposited by EPD could achieve enhanced conductivity and efficiency. The present review aims at comprehensively evaluating the recently published results on the electrocatalyst layers fabricated by EPD and applied in oxygen reduction reactions, alcohol electro-oxidation reactions, hydrogen evolution reactions, and oxygen evolution reactions.
