Fe-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) with high boron content have potential application as a coating material used in the framework for storing spent nuclear fuels to support their safe long-term disposal. The high glass forming ability (GFA) and large supercooled liquid region are therefore required for such Fe-based BMGs in either the glassy powder fabrication or the subsequent coating spraying. In order to meet these requirements, the influence of Nb content on the GFA of Fe57Cr10Zr8B18Mo7−xNbx (x=1–5, at.%) alloys was investigated, as Nb has positive roles in GFA and thermal stability of BMGs. The results indicate that a fully amorphous phase in the as-cast samples with 3 mm in diameter is obtained for both the Fe57Cr10Zr8B18Mo5Nb2 and Fe57Cr10Zr8B18Mo4Nb3 alloys. The corresponding supercooled liquid regions of the two BMGs are 78 K and 71 K, respectively. The mechanism for improving their GFA was analyzed based on the principle of metal solidification, the parameters for glass formation and thermal properties of the alloys. The compression strength and Vicker’s hardness of the two BMGs are 1,950 MPa and 1,310 HV, 2,062 MPa and 1,180 HV, respectively. The developed BMGs with high B content, good GFA, and very high hardness can be used as coating materials to the framework for spent nuclear fuels.
α-Ni(OH)2 is a promising candidate of the currently commercialized β-Ni(OH)2 due to its higher theoretical discharge capacity in alkaline solution; however, its instability and poor conductivity plague the practical application. Herein, we propose α-Ni(OH)2 with Co doping and spherical structure to strengthen the stability and enhance the conductivity and use it as the cathode for nickel-metal hydride batteries. Studies show that proper Co doping promotes the electrochemical reaction between the active materials and the electrolyte due to the spherical α-Ni(OH)2 with enlarged interlayer distance and abundant hole channels, as well as high conductivity of Co, therefore, the obtained spherical α-Ni(OH)2 with 7 mol% Co doping delivers significantly improved discharge capability, which is 384.6 mAh g?1 at 70 mA g?1 (0.2 C), increased by 54.3 mAh g?1 compared with pure α-Ni(OH)2, and at a high current of 5 C, it still gives 269.4 mAh g?1, in contrast 218.5 mA g?1 for the pure α-Ni(OH)2. Besides, the cycling stability of the α-Ni(OH)2 with 7 mol% Co doping maintains 340 cycles at a capacity retention of 80% (1C), which is extended 110 cycles in contrast to the pure α-Ni(OH)2. These results provide the underpinning platform of α-Ni(OH)2 for battery applications with high discharge ability and cycle life. 相似文献
