Effects of Z-value on physicochemical and biological properties of β-SiAlONs ceramics

This study evaluated the effects of different Z-values on the physical, chemical, and biological properties of β-SiAlON ceramics. Increasing the Z-value of the β-Si₃N₄ solid solution's main phase resulted in the replacement of Si–N bonds with Al–O bonds. The number of columnar crystals decreased, bulk density increased, and porosity decreased, thus transforming the fine-particle microstructure of β-Si₃N₄ into the columnar structure of β-SiAlON. The compressive strength increased, which facilitated sintering at 1500 °C without sintering auxiliaries. H⁺ and OH⁻ ions in deionized water broke the covalent bonds on the β-SiAlON surface, thereby forming new Si–OH, Al–OH, and N–H bonds on the β-SiAlON surface and producing SiO₄⁴⁻, AlO₂⁻, and NH₄⁺ groups in the solution. Increasing the soaking time changed the compositions of ionized H⁺ and OH⁻ ions, thus increasing the pH. MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured on the β-SiAlON surface, and it was observed that the increase in the Z-value of β-SiAlON had no influence on cell adhesion and spreading, but it may slightly suppress cell proliferation at high Z-values. At low Z-values, the low AlO₂⁻ concentration helps promote osteogenic differentiation and mineralized nodule formation. Thus, β-SiAlON ceramics possess excellent physical, chemical, and biological properties and are considered excellent bone-repairing materials.

Non-stoichiometric tungsten-carbide-oxide-supported Pt–Ru anode catalysts for PEM fuel cells – From basic electrochemistry to fuel cell performance

Durability and cost of Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are two major factors delaying their commercialization. Cost is associated with the price of the catalysts, while durability is associated with degradation and poisoning of the catalysts, primarily by CO. This motivated us to develop tungsten-carbide-oxide (W_xC_yO_z) as a new non-carbon based catalyst support for Pt–Ru–based anode PEMFC catalyst. The aim was to improve performance and obtain higher CO tolerance compared to commercial catalysts. The performance of obtained PtRu/W_xC_yO_z catalysts was investigated using cyclic voltammetry, linear scan voltammetry and rotating disk electrode voltammetry. Particular attention was given to the analysis of CO poisoning, to better understand how W_xC_yO_z species can contribute to the CO tolerance of PtRu/W_xC_yO_z. Improved oxidation of CO_ads at low potentials (E < 0.5 V vs. RHE) was ascribed to OH provided by the oxide phase at the interfacial region between the support and the PtRu particles. On the other hand, at high potentials (E > 0.5 V vs. RHE) CO removal proceeds dominantly via OH provided from the oxidized metal sites. The obtained catalyst with the best performance (30% PtRu/W_xC_yO_z) was tested as an anode catalyst in PEM fuel cell. When using synthetic reformate as a fuel in PEMFC, there is a significant power drop of 35.3 % for the commercial 30% PtRu/C catalyst, while for the PtRu/W_xC_yO_z anode catalyst this drop is around 16 %.     

Systematical study on the roles of transition alloying substitutions on anti-disproportionation reaction of ZrCo during charging and releasing hydrogen

Intermetallic alloy ZrCo is believed to be a good substitution for uranium to store tritium. Nevertheless, disproportionation reaction often happens during the hydriding and dehydriding processes, and hydrogen storage property of ZrCo is therefore degraded. Alloying elements are often used to substitute Zr or Co in ZrCo to restrain disproportionation reaction. However, many experimental results do not agree with each other, and it lacks overall tendency for all transition metal elements. In this work, systematical ab initio calculations are performed to study more than 20 transition alloying elements to substitute Co and Zr in ZrCoH₃ to study the anti-disproportionation effects. It is found that substitution of Co by transition metal elements on anti-disproportionation reaction is unconspicuous, and only Ni can enlarge Zr–H bond length and decrease the volume of 8e site, presenting anti-disproportionation effect, which qualitatively agrees with the previous experiments. In contrast, all transition alloying elements considered except Fe, Co, Ni, Ru, Rh, Pd, Os and Ir replacing Zr can both enlarge the length of Zr–H bond and decrease the volume of 8e site, and thus restrain the disproportionation effects. At last, two-dimensional charge density and density of states are calculated to analyze the underlying mico-mechanisms affecting the effects of transition alloying elements on anti-disproportionation reaction.

Effects of Al2O3 crystal types on morphologies,formation mechanisms of mullite and properties of porous mullite ceramics based on kyanite

Porous mullite ceramics with different crystal shapes of mullite are fabricated by in-situ reaction with middle-grade kyanite as raw material, Al(OH)₃, γ-Al₂O₃, ρ-Al₂O₃ and α-Al₂O₃ as alumina sources. Effects of Al₂O₃ crystal types on morphology evolution and formation mechanisms of mullite, and properties of porous ceramics are investigated. Results show that mullite in the sample with Al(OH)₃ mainly shows acicular morphology, because its (001) plane has the minimum interplanar crystal spacing and maximal attachment energy, it grows fast along [001] direction by screw dislocation mechanism. With a successive slowdown in reactivities of Al(OH)₃, γ-Al₂O₃, ρ-Al₂O₃ and α-Al₂O₃, the amount and aspect ratio of mullite reduce, its growth mechanism gradually transforms into two-dimensional nucleation. Acicular mullite not only reinforces samples, but makes effective pore sizes smaller, which enable the sample with Al(OH)₃ to present low bulk density, high apparent porosity and linear changes, small average pore size and good mechanical strength.

纱条中纤维排列状态与纱条不匀的关系

为研究短纤维纱条中纤维的排列状态与纱条截面纤维根数分布不匀的关系,采用几何概率方法建立了等分区间内纤维左头端数分布与纱条截面纤维根数的期望之间的数学模型,并定义了表征纱条中纤维排列状态的参数。运用蒙特卡罗方法模拟了纱条截面根数不匀随排列参数变化的关系曲线。结果表明:短纤维纱条截面纤维根数的CV值与纱条中短纤维排列参数呈负线性关系,与纤维长度分布和模拟区间大小的划分无关;且当排列参数接近1时,即纤维左头端数在所划分区间中为固定值时,纱条截面纤维根数不匀最低,而当排列参数趋向于0时,即纤维左头端数在所划分区间中呈泊松分布时则不匀最大。
