Cyclic thermal shock resistance of h-BN composite ceramics with La2O3–Al2O3–SiO2 addition

The effects of La₂O₃–Al₂O₃–SiO₂ addition on the thermal conductivity, coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), Young's modulus and cyclic thermal shock resistance of hot-pressed h-BN composite ceramics were investigated. The samples were heated to 1000 °C and then quenched to room temperature with 1–50 cycles, and the residual flexural strength was used to evaluate cyclic thermal shock resistance. h-BN composite ceramics containing 10 vol% La₂O₃–Al₂O₃ and 20 vol% SiO₂ addition exhibited the highest flexural strength, thermal conductivity and relatively low CTE, which were beneficial to the excellent thermal shock resistance. In addition, the viscous amorphous phase of ternary La₂O₃–Al₂O₃–SiO₂ system could accommodate and relax thermal stress contributing to the high thermal shock resistance. Therefore, the residual flexural strength still maintained the value of 234.3 MPa (86.9% of initial strength) after 50 cycles of thermal shock.     

Co-enhancement of oxidation resistance and mechanical properties of Cf/LAS composites: The effects of h-BN addition

Carbon fiber reinforced lithium aluminosilicate glass-ceramic composites have been extensively studied and widely used in industry applications, because of its good mechanical properties and low thermal expansion coefficient. However, further investigation is also need to improve its oxidation resistance and mechanical performance to meet higher requirements. In this work, C_f/LAS glass-ceramic composites were fabricated by a slurry impregnation and hot-pressing method with different amounts of h-BN. Results indicate that composites with 2 wt.% h-BN addition exhibit excellent flexural strength and fracture toughness, reaching 910 ± 22 MPa and 21 ± 1 MPa·m^1/2, respectively, and that after oxidation at 600, 800 and 1000 °C for 1 h, their strength residual ratio can reach 47%, 35% and 32%, respectively. TEM analyses suggest the improvement of oxidation resistance and mechanical properties should be attributed to the unique interface of composites caused by h-BN addition.     

Increased hydroxyl concentration by tungsten oxide modified h-BN promoted catalytic performance in partial oxidation of methane

Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) as a layered inorganic nonmetallic material has been widely used. Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) modification can trigger exfoliation and afford abundant B–OH active sites at edge of h-BN, which can enhance methane activation ability. Introducing tungsten oxide (WO₃) to h-BN produces a similar effect, because doping WO₃ into h-BN resulted in electron transfer to N, inducing fracture of B–N bond, resulting in N vacancy (triboron center), exposing more B sites and promoting the generation of B–OH. Significantly, the introduction of WO₃ on the modified h-BN dramatically increased the concentration of B–OH compared with the unmodified h-BN, because H₂O₂ modification weakened B–N bond. By means of XRD, TEM, XPS,EPR, FT-IR, it is proved that the high concentration of B–OH active sites contributed to activating C–H bond, thus methane conversion and CO and H₂ selectivity were significantly improved.     

Chemical vapor deposition of boron- and nitrogen-containing graphene thin films

Boron and nitrogen-incorporated graphene thin films were grown on polycrystalline Ni substrates by thermal chemical vapor deposition using separate boron- and nitrogen-containing feedstocks. Boron and nitrogen atoms were incorporated in the film in almost equal amounts and the total content reached ∼28%. The film predominantly consisted of separate graphene and boron nitride domains. Carrier concentration in the graphene domains was estimated to be about 1 × 10⁻³ e/atom (3.8 × 10¹² cm⁻²) from G band shift in Raman spectra.

Effects of h-BN content on properties of Ni-Cr/h-BN composite

Ni-Cr/h-BN self-lubricating composities were prepared by powder metallurgy (P/M) method. The effects of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) content on the mechanical and tribological properties of the Ni-Cr/h-BN composites were investigated. The corresponding frictional models were established to analyze the formation of the lubricant h-BN films on the surfaces of the Ni-Cr/h-BN composites. The results show that, when the content of h-BN increases from 5% to 15% (mass fraction), the bending strength of the Ni-Cr/h-BN composite decreases from 96.670 MPa to 17.319 MPa, and the hardness (HB) decreases from 33 to 14. The friction coefficient of the Ni-Cr/h-BN composite decreases firstly from 0.385 to 0.216, and then increases to 0.284, while the wear rate decreases firstly from 4.14×10⁻⁹ kg/(N·m) to 1.35×10⁻⁹ kg/(N·m), then increases to 2.36×10⁻⁹ kg/(N·m). The best comprehensive mechanical and tribological properties can be obtained between 10% and 12% h-BN addition.     

h-BN各向异性热膨胀和热输运特性的第一性原理研究

热填料的热膨胀系数和热导率是设计热管理和热防护复合材料的关键参考因素.六方氮化硼(h-BN)由于其独特的优点是最常用的热填料之一.但由于不同测试方法和测试样品的不一致性,其热膨胀系数和热导率的精确数值尚不清楚.本文分别用基于密度泛函理论的准谐近似方法和声子玻耳兹曼输运方程理论精确计算了h-BN沿层间和层内方向的热膨胀系数和热导率,通过与已有实验结果的对比验证了计算结果的准确性,并通过对声子行为的分析研究了其基本物理原理.结果表明,h-BN的热膨胀系数沿层内方向为较小的负值,沿层间方向为较大的正值,在300 K时分别为-2.4×10^-6和36.4×10^-6K^-1.研究表明,h-BN各向异性的热膨胀系数主要由其各向异性的等温体积模量和低频面外纵向声学支和光学支的振动特性所引起.为了确保h-BN热导率的快速准确预测,本文首次进行了原子间交互作用截断半径和q网格尺寸的收敛性测试.计算结果表明,h-BN平面内的热导率远大于沿平面间方向的热导率,在300 K时分别为286.6和2.7 W m^-1K^-1.声子行为分析表明,由面外纵向声学支、面内纵向声学支和横向声学支的振动特性引起的各向异性声子群速度是造成h-BN各向异性热导率的主要原因.本文的计算结果对h-BN复合材料的设计具有重要的参考价值.
