Statistical Piezotronic Effect in Nanocrystal Bulk by Anisotropic Geometry Control

Utilizing inner-crystal piezoelectric polarization charges to control carrier transport across a metal-semiconductor or semiconductor–semiconductor interface, piezotronic effect has great potential applications in smart micro/nano-electromechanical system (MEMS/NEMS), human-machine interfacing, and nanorobotics. However, current research on piezotronics has mainly focused on systems with only one or rather limited interfaces. Here, the statistical piezotronic effect is reported in ZnO bulk composited of nanoplatelets, of which the strain/stress-induced piezo-potential at the crystals’ interfaces can effectively gate the electrical transport of ZnO bulk. It is a statistical phenomenon of piezotronic modification of large numbers of interfaces, and the crystal orientation of inner ZnO nanoplatelets strongly influence the transport property of ZnO bulk. With optimum preferred orientation of ZnO nanoplatelets, the bulk exhibits an increased conductivity with decreasing stress at a high pressure range of 200–400 MPa, which has not been observed previously in bulk. A maximum sensitivity of 1.149 µS m⁻¹ MPa⁻¹ and a corresponding gauge factor of 467–589 have been achieved. As a statistical phenomenon of many piezotronic interfaces modulation, the proposed statistical piezotronic effect extends the connotation of piezotronics and promotes its practical applications in intelligent sensing.     

Hydrogeochemical Processes and Inverse Modeling for a Multilayer Aquifer System in the Yuaner Coal Mine,Huaibei Coalfield,China

Coal mining can dramatically change hydrogeological conditions and induce serious environmental problems. Fifty groundwater samples were collected from the main aquifers in the Yuaner coal mine (Anhui Province, China). The results show that the main hydrogeochemical processes in the mine include dissolution, precipitation, pyrite oxidation, desulfurization, and cation exchange. The Neogene porous aquifer is affected by groundwater flow conditions; its main hydrogeochemical processes are dissolution of carbonate minerals and gypsum, and cation exchange. The Permian coal measure’s fractured sandstone aquifer was confirmed to be controlled by the region’s geological structure; its main hydrogeochemical processes are desulfurization and cation exchange. The Carboniferous Taiyuan limestone aquifer was determined by both groundwater flow conditions and regional geological structure; its main hydrogeochemical processes are dissolution of carbonate minerals and gypsum, pyrite oxidation, and cation exchange. Additionally, hydrogeochemical inverse modeling of the groundwater flow path confirm the hydrochemistry results and principal component analysis.

Study on surface magnetization recover ilmenite from titanaugite using surfactant sodium oleate

ABSTRACT

Separation of ilmenite from titanaugite was investigated by magnetic coating. By enlarging magnetic difference between ilmenite and titanaugite, ilmenite was efficiently recovered. Scanning electron microscope and vibrating sample magnetometer results indicated that magnetite selectively coated onto ilmenite surface and increased its magnetism, which resulted in different magnetic separation behavior between ilmenite and titanaugite. FTIR and contact angle measurements confirmed that the adsorption difference of sodium oleate resulted in a stronger hydrophobicity on magnetite and ilmenite than titanaugite. Interaction energy analysis illustrated that hydrophobic association interaction on ilmenite was stronger than that on titanaugite, and which led to the selective coating of magnetite onto ilmenite.     

离子液体体系卤水提锂的洗涤工艺研究

溶剂萃取法是盐湖提锂的重要工艺方法。采用磷酸三丁酯（TBP）/1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑双三氟甲基磺酰亚胺盐（[C₄mim][NTf₂]）离子液体体系对高镁锂比盐湖卤水中的锂进行萃取分离提取实验,对负载有机相的洗涤和反萃过程进行了研究。萃取实验：在TBP与[C₄mim][NTf₂]体积比为9∶1、相比（有机相与水相的体积比）为2∶1条件下,锂离子与其他离子的分离系数分别为β（锂/钠）=94.70、β（锂/钾）=148.85、β（锂/镁）=131.81。洗涤实验：系统考察了洗涤剂种类及浓度、相比、洗涤次数等因素对杂质离子洗脱率的影响,结果发现氯化锂和盐酸的混合溶液是从负载有机相中洗涤除去杂质离子的有效洗涤剂。洗涤过程适宜条件：洗涤剂中氯化锂浓度为4 mol/L、盐酸浓度为0.5 mol/L,相比为5∶1,洗涤次数为2次。反萃实验：用稀盐酸（1.0 mol/L）对负载有机相进行反萃取,在相比为1∶1条件下,单级反萃率达到97.81%。研究表明,离子液体体系作为一种新型萃取体系,在高镁锂比盐湖卤水中提取锂具有较好的应用前景。
